Stein pays homage to classical Western tailoring traditions with a sleek minimalist aesthetic that transports the viewer to a liminal world, oscillating between fantasy and reality. 

This season’s collection—the brand’s first to be presented in front of an in-person audience—unfolded on an elliptical runway with a lineup gravitating around solemn black. The brand leaned into its signature monochrome mood with an even more austere palette than past seasons, which had been accented with eye-catching pops of color.
