After just one day, the SS19 womenswear shows are already snatching wigs. Last night, VFiles kicked off NYFW with a quartet of young designers – Elena Velez, MARRKNULL, Windowsen, and Shuting Qiu – presenting their collections, as well as launching its own new brand, VFiles Yellow Label.
Designed by Paul Cupo (formerly of Hood By Air), the debut collection included slogan tees that read “Forced Into This” (AKA the eternal fashion week mood), and lots of yellow (obviously).
Closing the show was none of other than rap Queen, Lil’ Kim. Wearing a yellow blazer over a yellow corset, her flowing locks were also – you got it – yellow. For the finale, the models stormed the runway en masse to Kim’s “Lighters Up”, with the designer and rapper joining them.
Keep an eye out for more on the VFiles SS19 show.
