The designers behind Cristina Ehrlich’s client looks
Vogue documented Greta Gerwig in The Row for the 2018 Met Gala. For that awards season, Ehrlich considered designers including Rosie Assoulin, Gucci and Rodarte, and Gerwig wore a custom Rodarte gown to the 2018 Oscars.
Ehrlich’s work with Priyanka Chopra brought in Ralph Lauren, Jason Wu and Carolina Herrera, among other labels. The evening pieces here follow that mix of strong tailoring, romantic fabric and red-carpet drama.

Where I would start with Cristina Ehrlich’s style
I would start with The Row’s Ayana belted cape-detailed cotton-twill trench coat and let its long line set the tone. Add one pair of boots for a practical finish, then keep the rest of the outfit simple. That balance of structure and texture is the part of Ehrlich’s approach I would carry into fall.
