1950’s glamour and Shirley Bassey’s “Diamonds Are Forever” served as the inspiration for Kevan Hall’s Fall 2023 collection, aptly named FACETED.
As a reworked upbeat version of Bassey's "Diamonds Are Forever", played out, Hall's latest collection made its way down the runway on February 15th, 2023 in New York's West 3rd Club in the Grand Ballroom.
The setting as well as the perfectly remixed music mirrored Hall’s inspiration of mixing iconic silhouettes with a unique twist. This collection capturing the sophistication and aspiration of 50s elegance with strikingly refined pieces, that are both timeless yet entirely current in their aesthetic. Something Hall is synonymous with.

Using a wide color palate of monochromatic black and white, all the way through to ruby red and emerald green, Hall’s gemstone palette was there to match, using everything from Emerald and sapphire, to Ruby and amethyst which he juxtaposed with the softest crepe as well as more luxe fabrics like velvet.

Hall created a unique prismatic effect on many of his pieces by using crystalline structured materials that were used to refract light, creating a stunning gleaming effect on the runway.

Hall’s use of tweed was a nod to Parisian wear. Whilst the high gloss metal on these pieces were used to update the look which resulted in classic pieces with a modern twist. The silhouette of his suit jackets, adorned with gems showcased the collar bone, creating a show stopping evening look that could be styled in a multitude of ways and worn for a beautiful dinner all the way through to a black tie event. A true hero piece in the collection.

Another stand out in the collection was the capri pant and off the shoulder blazer suit that once again balanced timeless elegance with modern sophistication.
The diamond inspiration ran throughout with the use Jeffrey Daniels Unique Designs of Gem Platinum as well as the high-style jewelry which was used with almost every look.
