Helping close out Paris Fashion Week, Matthew M. Williams enlisted a cast of celebrity and progressive models to showcase the refined Fall/Winter 2020 collection he prepared for 1017 ALYX 9SM.

The latest expression was presented to a crowd comprised of the who’s who of both the fashion world and pop culture’s upper echelon inside soaring glass atrium revealed a new focus for the popular label. Unisex looks found in the FW20 range displayed a more distilled display of Williams’ penchant for the technical design. With glimmering accents arranged in dynamic forms offered an element of luxury that ALYX has not yet touched upon. The bright additions served as a gateway to the womenswear offerings that ultimately proved to cement the label’s relationship with gender-neutral garments.

Patterns also made an interesting showing with animal prints, ostrich-effect leather and croc skin printed leather providing touches of texture to the mainly monochromatic collection. Aside from new accessories centered around its signature rollercoaster buckles, 1017 ALYX 9SM also prepared an array of footwear. Playing with traditional boot and dress shoe shapes, Williams employed chunky sole forms and slanted square toes to create a contemporary spin.

Backstage we are presented with a closer look at the other runway stars, plus details of the products shown. Ostrich leather, black synthetics, denim and more are paired with the synonymous buckle hardware and a slathering of crystal-emblazoned outerwear, along with the previewed collaborative Nike Air Force 1 High. The models and stylists all prepared their signature looks moments before hitting one of the most talked about shows of Paris Fashion Week.

Take a full look at 1017 ALYX 9SM FW20 collection above and catch scenes from the presentation below.
