Blurring the line between genders, designer Nicola Formichetti has gotten into disassociating bars as seen in his summer spring collection shown at New York Fashion Week. The revolution for equality and genderless fashion isn’t new, but this supposed separation from the conventional draws more attention with the rise of more fearless designers like those of Formichetti.
Hearing his name may bring us back to the time when Lady Gaga wore this controversial meat dress at the 2010 MTV Music Awards. This out of the box, and bold step was the result of her collaboration with the said designer.
Probably one of the most talked about statements in the history of the Red Carpet, the said dress put careers on the map for both the model and the person behind the idea. Since then, the relationship between the two blossomed so much that Lady gaga even showed her support, teary eyed, at the designer’s collection.
Nicopanda’s Spring/Summer collection for 2016 is in line with the designer’s eccentric vision. Staying true to its core idea of thinning the borders that set genders apart from each other, the collection is dominated by baby pink and baby blue.
Now this seems like bringing us back to the time when we were still infants without any notion of the difference between man and woman. The designer admitted that his aesthetic is only for the brave at heart.
“This is a collection for a try-anything culture, ready to mix it up…you’re either brave enough to wear it or you’re not,” Formichetti said on one of his interviews. (Cited: https://the-dots.co.uk/lakeishagoedluck/portfolio/chasseur-magazine-nicopanda-2015-ss-collection/195393)
Seemingly weird for those who are conventional, every piece in his collection is considered a rarity. From men’s caps adorned by ruffles and pearls, down to thick-strapped shoes that speak ‘punk.’
Additionally, let us not forget the sheer and ballerina inspired garments with the ‘N’ signature; a trademark of Nicopanda.
These, along with other interesting details make up the 2016 collection that will surely capture the attention of those who have an eye for eccentric clothes.
