To picture a cheerleader is to think of Hayden Panettiere and Solange Knowles in Bring It On. It’s Quinn, Brittany and Santana in Glee, or maybe more recently, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. It’s not necessarily androgynous goths wearing twice their weight in metal accessories. Nor is it Yasmin Pettet, the raven-haired runner-up from this summer’s Love Island UK. Yet these are the cheerleaders that took over the runway yesterday evening (September 19), during Chopova Lowena’s SS26 show.
