New York based emerging designer Rinat Brodach presented her Spring/Summer 2017 collection last night at SoHo’s AFA Gallery.

Guests arrived just as models had begun taking their positions on top of white distressed luggage carriers perfectly aligned in succession, hair slicked back in duct-taped buns with grey and white dreadlocks.

Rinat Brodach has recently been on the fashion radar with her previous FW’16 collection, though the revelation of Spring/Summer 2017 truly displayed the power behind this brand label and the core essence of modern avant-garde fashion.

The collection featured exclusive in-house print patterns which Brodach collaborates exclusively on with Darrin George in addition to beautifully draped silks, jersey, and textured elements.

Rinat Brodach gracefully made her way throughout the crowd introducing herself to notable editors, stylists, tastemakers, and fashion influencers – making them feel right at home. Brodach’s down to earth personality and true passion for creating innovative high-fashion clothing for every woman was soaked in the energy of the room.

                                                            

Rinat Brodach S/S’17 Inspiration: “About Last Night” is inspired by the act of sharing. Uniting both perceptions of humanity. Lovers. Banding together the matter of their hearts. After spending a night with her dearest flame, the next morning she has nothing to wear. He gives her his clothes. Oversized. She begins to compromise. Draping. Altering to the body. She feels pure bliss as she weaves their energy together. The line continues to thin as to what we wear, and what we can share together. Shining the light within. Created to remind the wearer of the essence of life, and learn a little more about yourself. Disconnect to connect. Create. Express.
