While many people went for a robot-type interpretation of the “Manus x Machina” theme that year, Parker took it in a different direction with a Hamilton-inspired ensemble by Monse, printed with a design “that really spoke to the theme of machinery and hand coming together,” she told Vogue.
Her take on it wasn’t a hit with some bloggers, who accused her of not getting the theme — and she responded directly to the criticism. “Always welcome thoughts but I’m a stickler for the theme and pay close attention to what it means. Every year with great consideration, research and conviction,” she wrote. “The understanding of man and machine, how they intersect, when and why is what we considered. Perhaps you weren’t aware of the technology used in the details and embellishments of the design. Or perhaps you simple didn’t like that I wore which is completely fine but you can’t accuse me of not paying close attention and adhering to the theme. With respect and warmest regards, sj.”
