Emilia Wickstead<\/a>\u2019s name is practically synonymous with the phrase \u201cunderstated elegance,” so you\u2019d be forgiven for not immediately associating her namesake label with the dark and twisted cinematic universe of David Lynch. But of course, this is what makes Wickstead so dynamic \u2014 her skill as a designer is taking eclectic cultural references and distilling them into clothing that is sophisticated but never boring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Fall\/Winter \u201823<\/a>, for example. It was the first runway show Wickstead has staged since the pandemic, an intimate affair at the Royal Academy of Art in London. Her new season mood board was filled with images from Lynch\u2019s \u201890s TV masterpiece <\/span>Twin Peaks <\/span><\/i>\u2014 the oversized tailoring of Kyle McLaughlin\u2019s Agent Cooper, the \u201850s poodle skirts and shrunken sweaters of <\/span>Sherilyn Fenn<\/span>\u2019s Audrey Horne, the slick tailoring and understated sex appeal of Joan Chen\u2019s Josie Packard. <\/span>Those appeared alongside frames from Martin Scorsese\u2019s equally beloved \u201890s hit <\/span>Casino <\/span><\/i>\u2014 the gaudy color palettes of Robert De Niro\u2019s suits and the unapologetic glitz of Sharon Stone\u2019s Ginger McKenna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The end result was a collection that married sophistication and surrealism. Chic overcoats were dramatically oversized; knitted two-piece sets featured kitschy graphic patterns; suiting was flared and finished in pink-and-black houndstooth check. Color combinations were unexpected too: skirt suits, shrunken knits, and fitted day dresses came in a palette of pistachio green, burnt orange and oxblood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wickstead described the collection as \u201cquite a simple, effortless way of dressing,” which does a good job of describing her brand in its entirety. And that brand is ever expanding \u2014 Wickstead just opened her first bridal salon, hot off the heels of a sell-out homewares collection. With a roster of fans that spans the A-list to royalty (Princess Kate Middle is a long-time fan), the Wickstead empire is set to keep expanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
