New York Fashion Week skipped right back into action after an 18-month pause with Collina Strada’s spring 2022 show tonight. Situated on Brooklyn Grange’s rooftop garden in Sunset Park, the show was a raucous welcome back to business as usual—although there is almost nothing usual about the way Hillary Taymour does business.
A few days before the show, she was in her Manhattan studio, fitting Precious Okoyomon in a fuzzy purple dress for an MTV runway show, and explaining the key looks of her collection: “We’ve got a farm queen, broken skater queen, prom queen,” started Taymour, “and a frog princess.” The simple message being that after a year of doldrums, we should all have the freedom to dress up as the queens we are.
Look even closer and you’ll find dozens of new accessories too, like upcycled raffia bags and necklaces and straps made from studio detritus. The level of handwork in this collection was dialed up exponentially, with hand-beaded pasties and flowers accompanying more producible items like doodle jeans and a new collaboration with Levi’s that birthed star-studded straight legs and classic denim jackets.
On the runway, Taymour dialed the wackiness of it all up to 11 as well. Models plucked carrots, sprinted down the catwalk, waved, laughed and hugged while two live performances took place. The front row, composed of Kim Petras, Tommy Dorfman, Hari Nef, Aaron Philip, Camila Mendes, and Ella Emhoff, was eating it up—maybe even literally. An errant carrot on the runway, while rhinestone studded, would have made a nice snack.
Collina is 🪄
