Fall 2022
Fashion is showing a renewed appreciation of America’s Belle Époque, from Blake Lively’s Met Gala gown to The Gilded Age series on HBO. The Carlisle fall line invigorates the trend, focusing on the cosmopolitan point of view of the belle époque painter, John Singer Sargent, at the pinnacle of his career. He produced many spectacular portraits of prominent clients clad in top-tier finery, as well as landscapes and cityscapes that chronicle their grand tours of Europe. In sync with Sargent’s charismatic vision, the fall line stands out for a bolder, atypical fall palette in head-turning fabrics from Italy, France and Spain.
