Style: And On The Seventh Day There Was Flannel — Day 3
- story THE FADER
For Fall/Winter ‘09 New York fashion week, FADER style assistant Erin Hansen will chronicle everything in a uniform of flannel. Will anyone really give a damn if she wears flannel for a week straight? Who knows? Stay tuned for the fascinating fashionista reactions.
Last Friday evening I attended the Mary Ping 21st anniversary party at the Kiosk space in Soho and then Saturday afternoon the Tom Scott presentation at Shop Front Space, both a little off the fashion week beaten path. In this case the presentations filled me with a little quirky color inspiration for my flannel choice today, causing me to take a less traditional and more cotton candy-esque route to the closet. In particular, Mary Ping’s celebration at Kiosk where twenty-one different cakes were displayed amongst pinatas with Ping’s pieces sneaking through the tears. The muted colors of the clothing clashed against the shiny balloons and frosted cakes of the installation, but somehow they coincided perfectly together–maybe because the clothing seemed to peek endearingly from the folds of the various pony pinatas like little treasures. While Tom Scott’s presentation was less of a festival of sorts and more of a lounge spot for mannequins listening to records– in the backroom the pieces were displayed in a simulation of your local dry cleaners– he maintained that same sort of playfulness for his F/W 09 presentation as Mary Ping’s celebration. In his upside-down/right-side up interpretation of a fashion week presentation I found a desire to wear a popping pink flannel, not your typical tartan and a print that some may accuse as being flannel blasphemy.
