WHAT:
New York Fashion Week
Cynthia Rowley: Our stand-out show of the week was Cynthia Rowley, who ditched the traditional runway and instead, presented her designs in an hour-long stand-up comedy show featuring Claudia Oshry, Nikki Glaser, Esther Ku, and others. Each comedian wore a custom outfit meant to highlight their individual features and the show promoted fashion with a sense of humor.
Thom Browne: Thom Browne, known for his elaborate shows, presented a dazzling runway inspired by the novella, “The Little Prince.” The set incorporated a small airplane that sat in a pile of sand and a ceiling adorned with planets and stars. His avant garde designs featured mostly muted tones with pops of primary colors. It was a nostalgic masterpiece.
