Spring-Summer 2021 “To me, times of re-emergence call for pure creation: the most uplifting feeling I can think of. I didn’t design this collection with cocktail parties or ballrooms in mind, but purely from the desire to capture in dressmaking the individuality embodied by savoir-fair, and the joy it brings to those who wear it. This collection was created in celebration of the women on the frontline, and for anyone it may inspire and uplift.” –Michael Halpern

Michael Halpern, the New York fashion designer has paid tribute to the heroines of the front line to honour their sacrifice and commitment during the pandemic. Captured in film and portraits, eight women from across the public service sectors reflect on their work during the lockdown period whilst modeling the latest HALPERN collection. Michael Halpern created two looks for each of his muses, inspired by their individuality, courage and positivity. The looks – largely constructed in-house – draw on the silhouettes, technique,and fabrication native to haute couture. The designs were flamboyant and have a sense of joie de vivre. This collection is a celebration of the positivity of humanity. The collection leaves one with a sense of optimism during these uncertain times.
