The NYFW preview–from a shortened schedule to Rihanna's blockbuster show.
, slated for Tuesday, September 10th in Brooklyn. Rihanna will be there, naturally, and it’s fair to assume there will be major models on the runway; Bella and Gigi Hadid both walked last year, as did a pregnant Slick Woods, who went into labor right after the show. If you can’t make it, Amazon Prime will be there toof the show, which will air on the streaming service on September 20th.
It should also get other designers thinking about how they can push the envelope. Many can’t compete with Rihanna, and more don’t have the budgets to stage this kind of mega-production. But when celebrity-fronted shows like this are taking place, a straightforward catwalk in a white room can feel pretty stale in comparison.
Let’s get this out of the way: No one wants to see another collection that doesn’t stand for something. With climate change, immigration, the U.S. election, and Brexit dominating headlines, a pretty dress won’t cut it anymore. Fashion is meant to reflect the world around ustell us where it’s headed, so we’re hoping designers open up the channels of communication this season.
We’re also hoping New York designers in particular are thinking about next presidential election—and possibly dressing the next woman president. The last day of New York Fashion Week is the same day as the next Democratic debate; other than a pantsuit, what should a female candidate like wear? What projects strength, confidence, courage, and optimism? Here’s hoping we see a few compelling ideas this week.
