SHOW: Jeremy Scott – S/S 2017
LOCATION: The Arc at Skylight Moynihan Station
DATE: Sept. 12
START TIME: 11AM + 28mins
TOP INSTA LOOK: The collection’s lineup of covetable kitschy accessories, such as an oversized toothpaste logoed bag, geometric jewelry and slime prints as part of a collaboration with Nickelodeon.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Makeup artist Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics sited, “smoked-out Egyptian” as the thematic behind her looks created for the ‘80s-themed show, using shimmery pigment in emerald green, lavender and orange to mimic the ombre feel of the blunt banged, bowl-cut wigs worn by models in red, blond or black.
OFF PROBATION: A patent blue bralette with zipper hardware detailing, worn with a planet-inspired geometric knee-length skirt in black lurex, worn with candy pink heels and a statement blue earring.
GOOD BEHAVIOR BOND: A popping blue “Cool Mint Jeremy” toothpaste-inspired hoodie, worn over a red leather mini and matching heels, for those chilly mornings exiting iconic ‘80s bar The Pyramid Club at 4AM on a Tuesday.
INSPIRED BY: The ‘00s, referencing the ‘80s, in turn referencing the ‘50s, designer Jeremy Scott cited New York City’s former gritty club kid scene as the key influence behind the lineup of hustler-come-pole-dancer looks in his show titled, “Slime City”, aimed at the glam, retro clientele longing wistfully for the days of the former Marquee.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Jessie J surprising London’s hippest punters and party-lovers for an impromptu performance at the Halloween party at XOYO in Shoreditch.
WEAR IT TO: Your maiden visit to remote Alphabet City outpost Nublu on Avenue C, where you make the rookie mistake of checking with the hoard of smokers outside if you’re indeed at the correct address, before making your way under the blue light marking the spot outside into the smoky den, filled with a largely European crowd for a night of electro beats. Several hard drinks later, you head a few blocks north to Nublu’s owner’s sister joint, Studio 151, harkening to the East Village’s glory days and a nod to Studio 54. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s Factory and the banging ‘80s, you’re sure the late artist would approve of your Scott getup.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Do you think we can sneak into the after party at Flash Factory tonight?”
SPOTTED: Coco Rocha, Kelly Osborne, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Paris Hilton, Leigh Lezark, Russell Westbrook, Jussie Smollett, Teyonah Parris, Jefferson Hack, Paige VanZant, Gigi Gorgeous, Taz Saunders, Mosh, Amanda Steele, Bebe Rexha, Violet Chachki, Miss Fame.
COLOR WHEEL: Slime green, yellow, magenta, aqua, pink, black, yellow, red, black-and-white check, glittery lurex in pink, blue and black.
THE DOCKET: The Andy Warhol of fashion delivered yet another signature pop culture-referenced collection, this time of the X-rated variety, featuring leather, porn prints and latex, which was equally at home among club kid-inspired staples playing with geometric proportions in shimmery lurex. Think Judy Jetson-gone-wild on a three-day bender in the fourth-floor Orchard Street apartment of the doorman of the club downstairs with 13 of her closest disco pals.
