As guests took their seats at Kris Goyri’s runway show, they were greeted by an orange semicircle at the end of the catwalk. The anticipation was palpable as the first model emerged, wearing a stunning ensemble that set the tone for the entire collection. A blue bandeau-like top was attached by a metallic circle to a deconstructed skirt, with the top made of a heavier orange fabric and the bottom a purple gauzy pleated skirt. Goyri, the mastermind behind the collection, revealed that his inspiration came from staring at the sun and observing how the colors around it transform, creating a unique and mystical moment.

Goyri’s recent trips to the coasts of Oaxaca, where he chased and contemplated sunsets, heavily influenced his Spring collection. The runway was a showcase of his signature elements, including pleated silks in bohemian-like dresses and rows of fabric-covered buttons adorning flowing dresses. The designer also delved into tailoring with an abstract and fun angle, adding a modern twist to his romantic aesthetic.

The designer’s interpretation of an ideal panoramic view was evident throughout the collection. Birds flying across the sky were transformed into embellishments on mini tube dresses and corset tops, while the sun reflecting on a deeply orange sea was literally translated into a matching set. The phases of the moon also made an appearance on a series of jumpsuits, adding a touch of celestial magic to the lineup. Solid pieces grounded Goyri’s idyllic vision, such as a brown sheer dress with flowy sleeves and a ’60s-inspired A-line mini dress.

Despite the ethereal nature of his designs, Goyri made sure to include more wearable pieces in the collection. An asymmetric top paired with a skirt featuring two slits and a geometric patterned skirt suit catered to those seeking everyday elegance. “In the end, I want the collection to be a celebration of life, a longing for those happy moments in the ’90s,” Goyri shared backstage.

With his Spring collection, Kris Goyri successfully brought his joie de vivre to the runway, creating a magical world where colors, nature, and nostalgia seamlessly intertwine. Each piece radiated a sense of joy and whimsy, inviting the audience to embrace the beauty of life and all its vibrant hues.
