Runway Fall 2020

For its fall 2020 show, Badgley Mischka incorporated two very English but very different cultural moments. One was the period TV series Downton Abbey, set in the Edwardian era (think: high necklines and stiff bodices). Then there was the loose, hippie-fied bohemian era of the Beatles in the ’60s and ’70s. (Designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka were also inspired by the Edwardian-era American artist John Singer Sargent.) While both British influences were visually opposite, they worked quite seamlessly together on the runway.
