We’re one day into NYFW and already so much has happened. Most notably, Lil’ Kim scalping the whole damn thing by walking at VFiles in a full Gen-Z yellow get-up (wig included).
Elsewhere, CDLM – a new label founded by Creatures of the Wind’s Chris Peters – made its debut. Modelled by an eclectic mix of people both young and old, joining the cast was writer and actress Tavi Gevinson. The Rookie founder – who first found fame for her blog aged 13 – is usually found on the FROW, rather than sashaying down in front of those sitting on it.
Much like the models, the collection itself was a mix of different influences which reworked traditional pieces in unexpected ways – think coats that looked like they had been turned inside out, and spliced together combinations of sweatshirts and knitwear (50/50 fashion 2.0).
