Of course, powerhouse guest lists and surprise appearances on the runway aren’t the only ways to get people talking during fashion week - strategic stunts and a dash of chaos can also make for viral moments. Befitting her supermodel status, of course, Turlington laughed it off. The event marked a welcome return the schedule, though as Lauren told CNN during a decadent post-show dinner, “I’m always in New York I grew up here.” The city, he continued, is “always about celebrating the new” - and so, fittingly, the showcase was opened by model Anna Ewers, the face of Ralph Lauren’s newest handbag, the RL 888.Ĭlosing the runway, meanwhile, was supermodel Christy Turlington in a body-conscious gold gown with a train so long that in one rehearsal moment it almost caused quite the snag - literally - as model Natalia Vodianova, walking behind Turlington, accidentally stepped on it. The collection featured delicate, romantic plays on denim, as well as florals, lace and elegant eveningwear. On Park Avenue, Proenza Schouler hosted It-girls such as actor Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri and socialite Sofia Richie Grainge, while Phillip Lim’s Chinatown show drew Stephanie Hsu, Paramore’s Hayley Williams, The Kid Laroi and Kathy Hilton, among others. The week’s shows were scattered all over the city, from Collina Strada’s femme garden fantasy on a Brooklyn rooftop farm to Prabal Gurung’s display of layered gowns and sculptural gold jewelry on Roosevelt Island - an event that attendees including Padma Lakshmi, Awkwafina, Venus Williams and Maddie Ziegler braved both the rain and the island’s aerial tramway to attend. “We ventured into newer territory this season with tailoring,” Vevers explained, adding: “There’s a sense of play, too - in the colorful bags, the footwear and the jewelry - that make the collection feel joyful.” For the occasion, the British designer put out an exuberant, elevated take on what he called the “American essentials,” he said over email to CNN, which included slouchy suits and oversized leather jackets in black, brown and green, long sheer dresses over leather separates and lipstick-kiss bags. The show, which included an unexpected PETA protest on the runway, marked Stuart Vevers’ 10th anniversary as creative director. Helmut Lang returns to the runway, with ascendant designer Peter Do at the helm Do hit many notes of the label’s original aesthetic, while infusing his own romantic sensibilities (including a collaboration with poet Ocean Vuong) into the collection, particularly with his men’s and women’s suiting. The week’s packed schedule officially kicked off Friday with Peter Do’s highly anticipated debut for Helmut Lang, with the ascendant Vietnamese-born designer given the chance to reinterpret the minimalist ’90s brand - which spent years without a creative director - for a new generation. And there were brand ‘birthdays’ to consider too, such as the 10th anniversary of designer Rio Uribe’s label Gypsy Sport. New York Fashion Week is back, taking the city by storm - during a long weekend’s worth of thundery weather, no less - and hosting a number of landmark events, including the return of brands like Ralph Lauren and 3.1 Phillip Lim to the calendar, as well as debuts from up-and-coming designers like Grace Ling and recent “Project Runway: All Stars” winner Bishme Cromartie.
