SHOW: Jill Stuart – S/S 2017
LOCATION: Dune Studios, 55 Water St.
DATE: Sept. 10
START TIME: 11AM + 22mins
TOP INSTA LOOK: Layered chiffon, lurex, knitwear, metallic and ethereal looks created on tiered floral frocks and spring racing-ready flirty separates.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Pale pink nails and pastel eyeshadow complemented the show’s feminine vibe, matched by beachy waves that were given a ballet class-appropriate feel through being clipped back at the ear.
OFF PROBATION: A white cropped ballet sweater-inspired top, worn over a strappy champagne dress and styled with stacked blue platforms and a mustard yellow bag.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: An asymmetrical one-shouldered blouse featuring beading detailing, worn with a white A-line skirt and lurex emerald sleeve arm warmers.
INSPIRED BY: The go-to look for this season’s breakout prima donna hanging up her pointe shoes for the evening and heading straight from dress rehearsal to the stage of the hottest party downtown.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Misty Copeland completing the final run-through of Frederick Ashton’s Symphonic Variations as part of the American Ballet Theatre’s Fall Gala in need of an easy glam update before catching an Uber downtown to meet friends for a late-night feed at Japanese hotspot The General on Bowery.
WEAR IT TO: Grab a Starbucks green tea before heading to Pure Barre in Williamsburg, where you flex and point throughout the low-impact workout as you strategize about how to inform your friend that due to budget constraints you’ve been forced to downsize your bridal party from seven to five for fall.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “This reminds me I need to lock down tickets to the New York City Ballet for October.”
SPOTTED: Sailor Lee and Jack Brinkley Cook, Zosia Mamet, Julia Goldani-Telles, Annabelle Fleur, Cory Kennedy, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Dej Loaf, Sophie Curtis.
COLOR WHEEL: Champagne, dusty pink, cream, khaki, red, black, floral prints, metallic silver, mustard, pale blue, honeydew.
THE DOCKET: Delivering a wardrobe of pretty daywear for the 2016 Julliard School of Dance graduate, the designer focused on elevating American sportswear via a feminine slant, providing a series of easy-to-wear airy looks that would lend themselves to an impromptu ballet flash mob on the steps of the Lincoln Center on a balmy evening come June.
