The Unlikely Pre-Fall Show That Made Me Nostalgic for NYC
Jeremy Scott took fashion below the streets in his Moschino Pre-Fall 2020 show. The show took place in retired subway cars at the New York Transit Museum. Seriously oversized pieces strutted through the narrow aisles of old subway cars. From lighters, hats and puffer coats, the exaggerated pieces were a combination of fun, silly, and impressive in their stature. Many of the looks are not my style, but I admire Jeremy Scott's creativity and the show made me feel something.
I was brought back to my days of living in New York City. If you've ever lived in or visited the Big Apple, you may have experienced rush hour on the subway and it is wild. There were many mornings where I was crammed onto the 6 train heading downtown and a stranger's backpack was jammed into my side that felt like it was as big as the backpack that came down the runway.
On days when the subway wasn't packed, I loved people watching. Now that I think of it, the subway did feel like a runway sometimes. In New York especially, it seems like people really express their style through clothing. In a city with so many people, a quick way to communicate who you are (or who you want to be) is through what you wear. During rush hour in midtown, you could spot a businesswomen wearing tweed skirt suits with sneakers. Their heels sticking out of their tote bags. As you neared Union Square, you could see an increase in college kids with pastel-colored hair. From the glamours to the every day, the subway was a peek into someone’s world and a continuous runway show. Geez, I miss New York!
