SHOW: Rag & Bone – S/S 2017
LOCATION: Skylight Clarkson North
DATE: Sept.12
START TIME: 8PM + 24mins
TOP INSTA LOOK: The combination of an array of red, white and blue gave off an all-American vibe, which also lent itself to spotlighting the U.S. election season, with the designer honing in on Rag & Bone’s focus on giving casual sporty separates an edgy, street style feel.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Keeping in check with the former wayward prep-school troublemaker since reformed and combing the streets of Soho, makeup artist Om Pecheux for MAC Cosmetics applied thick kohl eyeliner for a smudged, smoky look, while models were given individually-styled hair looks for a fresh, undone vibe.
OFF PROBATION: A royal blue trench coat with red panels and white drawstrings, worn over a sheer black-and-white floral dress and knee-high patent black leather boots. Think Taylor Swift jumping puddles at Glastonbury with her latest musician stud.
GOOD BEHAVIOR BOND: A flowing olive anorak with cargo pockets, worn over a tunic-length white shirtdress and teamed with ivory ankle boots.
INSPIRED BY: Reimagining the concept of American staples for the streets, the designer delivered his own take on the brand’s signature aesthetic, serving up a range of college-inspired pieces such as varsity jackets, anoraks and oversized sweaters.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Mila Kunis rocking the latest collection with a pair of vintage classic Newbury Booties next to her beau Ashton Kutcher stealing a smooch while courtside at a Los Angeles Lakes game at the Staples Center in L.A.
WEAR IT TO: Your interview for the hotly-contested Social Media Manager position at Conde Nast’s W Magazine, where you’re keen to flash your sartorial smarts as you coyly delight in the fact that you’re potentially going to be able to get paid to document events you’re already front row in attendance of.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “OMG this is the first time I’ve ever seen Anna Wintour without her glasses on!”
SPOTTED: Oscar Isaac, Carmelo Anthony, Jackie Cruz, Hannah Jeter, Anna Wintour, Gabriela Lopez, David Neville, Mikhali Baryshnikov.
COLOR WHEEL: Red, blue, white, navy, grey, khaki, beige, black.
THE DOCKET: Rag & Bone’s cult following as ‘the’ ultimate insider New York-brand was reaffirmed via designer Marcus Wainwright’s first solo showing following the departure of David Neville, which featured a line of trademark slouchy shirt-dressing, athletic sweats, striped suiting and breezy floral slip dresses, all befitting of the anti-establishment artist and his posse busy burning the midnight oil on Ludlow Street crafting a Bernie Sander’s tribute graffiti wall mural.
