Kimberly Ovitz’s front row was dotted with people from her past: J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons, wearing a fur coat with at least three animal’s tails dangling from the back (Ovitz interned for her way back when), and Ivanka Trump (a friend from back when Ovitz was designing for Imitation of Christ.)

But her fall show was all about the future. In contrast to the translucent, drapey whites of last season, this was all sexy-tough and black, decorated with leather and long faux-fur fringe. If Lisbeth Salander, the hacker anti-hero from “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” went high-end, this is what she’d wear. There was even a yarn-fringed hoodie.

The strongest looks were tights pants or trousers on bottom and complicated jackets or layers on top. There were also some floor-length chocolate jersey gowns that held the same toughness.

There was a little bit of a Rick Owens influence in these disassembled silhouettes, sure. But if you’re looking for sexy, luxe city armor, then these are the clothes you’ll want to wear.
