10 Looks Harper's BAZAAR Editors Loved From The Fall 2020 Collections

I love that Daniel Lee has arrived on the scene to helm a storied luxury brand with such runaway success. It’s such a wonderful reminder that there is new talent out there to discover, that at its best, luxury fashion should inherently be sustainable—because these are clothes we will keep and wear forever—and that fashion is fun and interesting. I mean, those pants! That coat! This look is just cool, and it makes me happy. And isn’t that the point? —Kerry Pieri, Digital Fashion & Features Director Photo: Isidore Montag / IMAXTREE

Virginie Viard’s latest Chanel collection felt like the perfect balance of iconic house codes with the freshness of a modern woman’s perspective. She showcased clothes you really want to invest in and wear now and forever, which while feminine felt desirable and easy to adopt into your own wardrobe. The contrast of the feminine white collar and cuffs to the utilitarian riding boot underscores the idea of a feminine freedom that Viard champions and that we’re fully invested in. —Amanda Weiner, Executive Accessories Editor Photo: Daniele Oberrauch / IMAXTREE

Jonathan Anderson referenced the Twenties, a decade when everything resurged again, when he spoke about his namesake label’s fall/winter collection. Anderson’s optimistic approach offered hope and clarity during a time of complication. His closing look was the perfect mix of restraint—in simplicity and freedom—through uninhibited details, a narrative we face as we navigate the future. —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, Fashion & Accessories Editor Photo: Isidore Montag / IMAXTREE

Clare Waight Keller consistently reminds us that she knows how women want to dress, and this look encapsulated it from literal head to toe. We want to feel glamorous (floor-length sequins) yet comfortable (an easy knit top, plus the long hemline) and definitely not bothered beyond the normal demands of living (a hat that messages “do not disturb”). —Leah Melby Clinton, Director of Branded Editorial Strategy, ELLE.com and MarieClaire.com Photo: Filippo Fior / IMAXTREE

Tom Ford kicked off New York Fashion Week in Los Angeles rather than on the East Coast, showcasing his collection on the eve of the Academy Awards. The designer-cum-director is a red-carpet staple, but the finale of his fall 2020 range was inspired by a more iconic moment in a woman’s life. Ford’s sexy bride was the start of what would prove to be one of the biggest trends of the season: the fashion bride. She came in the form of a princess, a bohemienne, a romantic, and a renegade on runways from NYC to Paris. There were countless options for brides’ weddings later this year across fashion’s four cities, but Ford’s look stood out. Classic yet sleek; sophisticated yet sexy. This patchwork lace, single-sleeve gown—finished with a traditional veil—set the tone for what the brides of this new decade should be yearning to sport down the aisle. —Carrie Goldberg, Weddings & Travel Director, BAZAAR.com Photo: IMAXTREE

Many designers have fallen down the proverbial rabbit hole into a wonderland of their own machinations—oftentimes to an overwhelming degree. Francesco Risso’s leap into the fantastical, however, had elements grounded in reality. The creative director of Marni, who donned a coney costume when he took his final bow, showed a collection that played with patterns and textiles, mixed references from Renaissance masters and modern-day artists, and patched neutrals with metallics and saturated hues. Discordant as all this may sound, the silhouettes were kept streamlined and the accessories sporty, reverberating harmony throughout the lineup. It was romantic, artful, and, to a degree, wearable. And with characteristics like that, I would gladly follow this white rabbit any day. —Barry Samaha, Freelance Fashion Market Editor Photo: Daniele Oberrauch / IMAXTREE

Sarah Burton said she wanted this collection to be “really grounded, bold, and heroic,” and I think that is exactly what we all need right now. Kaia Gerber embodies the modern McQueen warrior woman with her graphic tailored jacket and skinny legging pant in black (the color of the season), accented with the Welsh bold red, which signifies protection, healing, and strength—three things we are all craving in this uncertain time. —Joanna Hillman, Style Director Photo: Carloto Scarpato / IMAXTREE

The perfect evening suit is reimagined with brocade and a dramatic sleeve. This season, British designer Jonathan Anderson collaborated with Japanese artist Takuro Kuwata for the Spanish house of Loewe, in Paris. The result: beautiful organic ceramics added to the flamenco clutch in a beautiful melding of cultures and styles. —Nicole Fritton, Executive Fashion Director Photo: Salvatore Dragone / IMAXTREE

I am obsessed with collecting coats. I feel like they withstand the brutal cycle of trends, and having a rotation of statement outerwear makes getting dressed effortless, a key point for me. Enter Proenza Schouler’s fall collection. It was hard to choose just one of the brand’s double-breasted, strong-shouldered, highly styled blazers or dress coats to invest in, but I don’t currently have a primary pop of color in my top layers, and this lipstick-red piece made me swoon. —Joyann King, Executive Editorial Director, BAZAAR.com Photo: Salvatore Dragone / IMAXTREE
