: Katie Gallagher
The Theme: Refined Luxe meets Nostalgic Goth Runaway
The Color Palette: Onyx, oxblood, slate, and black
The Signature Look of the Collection: Katie Gallagher reflected an eerie, dimly lit monastery in her goth-inspired pieces. Inspired by abandoned amusement parks, Gallagher opted for darker hues such as onyx and slate. Slicked back hair with a luminescent shine hinted at sportiness, which supplemented her nylon jackets’ seam details and ponte crop tops. Gallagher’s menswear-inspired garments featured crisp shirtdresses and textured trousers that would be seen along the likes of Man Repeller devotees. On the other side of the style spectrum, exaggerated, droopy hair bows hinted at a more feminine, childlike quality. which aimed to epitomize the decay of youth. To compensate for the ubiquitous black pieces, sheer tights and chiffon sleeves featured a chaotic swirl of black lines akin to carousels for a touch of patterning.
