SHOW: A Détacher
LOCATION: Pier 59 Studios
DATE: Feb.11
START TIME: 6PM + 21mins
TOP INSTA LOOK: Not-you-average-schoolgirl connected braids formed lassos on the model’s backs in a shout out to the show’s cowboy theme, while slouchy beanies were the perfect accessory to your biker boyfriend.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Two dapper gents discussing the merits of the business school management monologue playing on loop before the show. The 34 vices and irresponsible behaviors listed by the models on the show’s program.
OFF PROBATION: An oversized white shirt tucked into a midi brown knit skirt, worn over pastel pink trousers. Think Little House on the Prairie crossed with Oklahoma with a dose of Off-Broadway’s Smart People thrown in to boost the intellectual capital.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A voluminous black puffer jacket masquerading as a winter-proof coat, cinched at the waist with a tan belt and worn over thick tights.
INSPIRED: By ‘cowboys, bikers and oversize’, think college spring break via a snowboarding escape in Niseko, Japan. Heavy knits, furry clogs, western belts and balloon sleeves rounded out the ode to America’s two outlaws.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Where’s Waldo: The Vermont Edition. The Olsen Twins’ – or every aspirational Williamsburg hipster – figure-disguising winter garb.
WEAR IT TO: Your next local Bandidos Northeast chapter meetup, complete with your beau’s motorcycle roaring loud enough to rattle all of the adjacent funeral home’s windows.
SPOTTED: Cory Kennedy, Jenna Lyons.
COLOR WHEEL: Powder pink, requisite winter black, taupe, brown and a pop of green.
THE DOCKET: Self management, independent learning and goal skills aren’t three things usually associated with fashion week, but the show’s homage to improved personal skills played out with more restrained creativity than a Charlie Sheen/Lilo lovechild. Or at least a guide for how to manage your wardrobe come fall.
