\n\tLast week, Daniella Kallmeyer was named one of the American Womenswear Designer of the Year nominees for the upcoming 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI honestly did not see it coming,\u201d Kallmeyer said ahead of her spring runway show at the downtown Crane Club. \u201dIt feels like it\u2019s been our year, but we\u2019re not doing this for awards. It feels like we\u2019ve been so rooted and grounded, and it feels really big. What I love about it is, it\u2019s nominated by the people and that feels so Kallmeyer. It feels especially amazing because it feels like the clothes did it and the community did it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tKallmeyer founded her business in 2012 and since then has been steadily growing, refining her strong aesthetic, and has become a go-to brand that women truly love to wear. It\u2019s because her clothes, spanning from precise tailoring to spring\u2019s show-closing sensually elegant dresses, have a captivating quality and thoughtful details imbued within.<\/p>\n
\n\tBackstage, Kallmeyer spoke about how spring expresses \u201cthe beauty and heartache of being alive right now.\u201d\u00a0Her moodily lit show, set to an original score by Richard Sears featuring Dinah Washington\u2019s poetic \u201cThis Bitter Earth\u201d over a Max Richter\u2019s melody brought the sentiment to the next level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tKallmeyer referred to her collection in three acts, starting light, airy and natural with a tonal white suit that emphasized leisure through chic drawstring trousers, a beautiful drop-waist, crinkled rosette gown and easy pinstripe linen layers, to name a few. A palette cleanser, \u201cto calm your nervous system,\u201d she said of the mood she and her peers have coincidentally been messaging this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cSomebody asked me, \u2018If this collection was on a dating app, what would she say?\u2019\u201d Kallmeyer said. \u201cIt\u2019s, \u2018Get you a girl who can do both.\u2019 She\u2019s so elegant, but she also can pitch her own tent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tShe might be wearing a butter yellow caped and draped blouse, but pair it with a textural crochet column skirt, or pair her go-to minimalist work suiting with colorful scarf dressing, sexy patent heeled thong sandals and little athletic shorts. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like Euro Americana,\u201d Kallmeyer said of act two\u2019s subtle additions, before closing the show with lengthy slim toppers softened with sweeping skirts \u2014 translating the collection\u2019s elegantly elevated \u00e9lan into the night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
