  On Sunday evening, Brandon Maxwell gathered a very small group of industry folks, and four members of the New York Philharmonic, for one of the most intimate shows of New York Fashion Week. As violins played and sunlight shone through a delicate overhead water feature into the sparse room, the designer’s extremely pared-back Spring 2027 collection — one that “explores Brandon Maxwell anew,” per the show notes, was revealed.

To better understand our current era’s perpetual state of chaos, Creative Director Keith Herron looked toward the 1970s — a decade rife with political tension and social unrest. (I wonder what that’s like.)
  “It’s really reflecting on how every generation feels that
