SHOW: Creatures of Comfort – S/S 2017
LOCATION: Industria Studios NYC
DATE: Sept. 8
START TIME: 4PM – 5PM
TOP INSTA LOOK: Popping colorful summery dresses against the stark white walls and natural light backdrop of the oversized windows of Industria Studios.
OFF PROBATION: A silk emerald pajama-style top with technicolor embroidered detailing, worn with a matching floaty ankle-grazing skirt, perfect for transitioning from the couch to brunch in line with the current bed-to-streetwear trend.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A robin blue floor-length dress with ruched detailing, featuring black ruffled straps with flyaway ends.
INSPIRED BY: Designer Jade Lai’s recent jaunt to Mexico City and the color palette of Mexican architect Luis Barragan.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Nicole Richie on a girls’ vacation to a yoga retreat in Rivera Maya with sister in-law Cameron Diaz and friends, where a suitcase of colorful breezy dresses serve as fitting attire for happy hour on the beach (thanks to the liquor smuggled into the dry resort).
WEAR IT TO: Sunset cocktail hour at the Ridge Luxury Villas in Mexico, where you’re sure to rub shoulders with the celebrity travel pack amid the wealthy enclave of Pedregal, before retiring for the evening ahead of a busy day of tanning on the golden sands of Médano Beach (just make sure you’re not pap-snapped gossiping with Paris Hilton).
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Do you know what date Solange’s new album is supposed to drop?”
SPOTTED: Leandra Medine, Nicole Bernstein, Natalie Suarez, Alana Suarez, Solange Knowles.
COLOR WHEEL: Sage, cherry red, pink, emerald, sunburst yellow, apricot, red, taupe.
THE DOCKET: Lai paid homage to Mexican self-portrait artist Frida Kahlo, who began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident, and her latest collection embodied the fierce femme fatale intent on celebrating life in technicolor in all her global citizen glory, complete with a requisite bold red lip.
