Porsche Design Fall/Winter 2015 New York

But one thing is for certain: A rose is a rose no matter the name, and good clothes are good clothes no matter the label.

And Porsche Design makes some good clothes. This season, senior fashion designer Pierre Costin focused on a strong shoulder and a nipped-in waist. “We’re defining the silhouette,” he said backstage before the show.
