With a 40th anniversary to celebrate, Megha Mittal and her CEO, Iris Epple-Righi, are determined to bring Escada back into the present tense. They booked the Park Avenue Armory; hired Stefan Beckman to design a set; and enlisted name-in-lights, behind-the-scenes talents including stylist Jacob K, makeup artist Pat McGrath, hairstylist Guido Palau, and music man Frédéric Sanchez. The show was about as splashy as debuts get, and it was a coming-out party, to boot, for Escada’s new creative director, Niall Sloan. @escadaofficial #escada #meghamittal #presenttense #style #fashion #ss19 #parkavenue #stefanbeckman #creative #fashiontv
