The Industry Release11 | New York Recap
VICTORIA FAWOLE Featured in THE INDUSTRY RELEASE11 | NEW YORK RECAP - September 2023
With another exceptional New York Fashion Week show season behind us, we would love to congratulate all our models and managers on a fantastic job done. We continue to proudly supply casting directors and brands with a meticulous selection of fresh faces every season while maintaining an extremely tight casting process. This season, The Industry models walked for Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, Khaite, Dion Lee, Altuzarra, Jason Wu, Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera, and others. We are happy to share the NYC SS24 Show Recap.
PROENZA SCHOULERJack McCollough + Lazaro Hernandez - Designer, Camilla Nickerson - Fashion Editor/Stylist, Guido Palau - Hair Stylist, Diane Kendal - Makeup Artist, Ashley Brokaw - Casting Director, Jin Soon Choi - ManicuristHEJIA LI, ROOS ABELS, VICTORIA FAWOLEApropos of its location at Phillips auction house, where fine art becomes a capitalist asset, Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2024 collection managed to explore a soulful and airy sensitivity while playing directly to the sophisticated tastes of the wealthy women who wear it.The Impression
RALPH LAURENDesigner: Ralph Lauren, Hair Stylist: Guido Palau, Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal, Casting Director: Piergiorgio Del MoroANGELINA KENDALL, HEJIA LIWhile like most of the iconic American designer’s runway shows during his current era, Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2024 made the consistently smart move of subtly remixing the brand’s time-honored classics, it also felt like a strong step closer to “luxury,” and formed a powerfully refocused statement of the Ralph Lauren woman. Indeed, unlike most of his runway shows, this was no co-ed affair: whether in nods to the RRL era of westernwear and southwest flair or boho-glitzy evening gowns, that refined feminine force dominated the runway.The Impression
KHAITEDesigner: Catherine Holstein, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Vanessa Traina, Hair Stylist: Guido Palau, Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal, Casting Directors: Helena Balladino, Piergiorgio Del MoroANGELINA KENDALL, HEJIA LI, NYADUOLA GABRIELIn keeping with her distinctive style, Catherine Holstein unveiled a collection firmly rooted in the realm of cool, modern femininity. There were no radical departures from her well-established design sensibilities. Instead, she chose to embrace her clientele, leading them on a journey that felt simultaneously familiar and profoundly evocative.The Impression
ALTUZARRADesigner: Joseph Altuzarra, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Hair Stylist: Jawara, Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal, Casting Director: Michelle LeeANGELINA KENDALL, HEJIA LI, NYADUOLA GABRIEL, AJOK DAING, VICTORIA FAWOLEThe previous few seasons from Altuzarra have seen the eponymous designer seek to balance out the covetable, haute-boho statement dresses for which he is best known with layerable pieces that have more everyday wear in mind – and Spring 2024 was the most convincing synthesis of these two sensibilities yet. Drawing inspiration from French New Wave film and its aesthetic themes wherein aloof bourgeois sophistication vies with dark subconscious desires, Altuzarra creates a deep sense of mood that balances cinematic drama with real-life sophistication.The Impression
GABRIELA HEARSTDesigner: Gabriela Hearst, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Camilla Nickerson, Hair Stylist: Holli Smith, Makeup Artist: Fara Homidi, Casting Director: Jess Hallett, Producer: Alexandre de BetakHEJIA LI, VICTORIA FAWOLEA crisply tailored suit or a minimalist formal dress might at first blush feel quite opposite to words like “organic,” “earthy,” and “spiritual” – words that we lovingly associate with the work of Gabriela Hearst – but her latest collection has made a convincing argument that these two sides can indeed coexist, and do so beautifully. Subtly drawing inspiration from the archetypal forms of the natural world and the hidden geometries that underlie them, Hearst infused this natural beauty into a collection of pristine tailoring and soulful elegance.The Impression
DION LEEDesigner: Dion Lee, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Patti Wilson, Hair Stylist: Evanie Frausto, Makeup Artist: Marcelo Gutierrez, Casting Director: Bert Martirosyan, Manicurist: Sojin OhANGELINA KENDALL, HEJIA LI, EVIE ASHBY, RAYNARA NEGRINE, ROOS ABELS, VICTORIA FAWOLE, SHAN LISpring 2024 saw Dion Lee successfully synthesize two distinct worlds of clothing design into his indulgently sexy clubwear aesthetic: the rigid codes of tailoring and corsetry and the utilitarian staples of toolshed and construction site. The result was a playful yet deadly and impressively constructed collection that pushed brand codes in strong new directions.The Impression
TORY BURCH Designer: Tory Burch, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Brian Molloy, Hair Stylist: Guido Palau, Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal, Casting Director: Ashley BrokawANGELINA KENDALL, VICTORIA FAWOLEFor Spring 2024, Tory Burch took her commitment to designing to serve the needs of sophisticated women in a few new directions, finding a stripped-back new focus on materiality and lightness that lend a subtly retro-futurist flavor to her contemporary take on classic American sportswear. Women’s garment construction techniques historically associated with restriction, like crinolines, boning, and hairnets, are instead put to work in serving the motions of the body, while innovative fabrics similarly opt for lightness and motion.The Impression
JASON WUDesigner: Jason Wu, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Alex Harrington, Hair Stylist: Jimmy Paul, Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal, Casting Director: Rachel ChandlerANGELINA KENDALL, HEJIA LI, EVIE ASHBY, VICTORIA FAWOLETaking the opportunity of the spring season to explore how life and growth are part of the same natural cycle as death and decay, Jason Wu used distressed fabrics, exposed seams, and surface treatments like beaded embroidery and jacquard to create a richly patinated collection of organic elegance.The Impression
CAROLINA HERRRADesigner: Wes Gordon, Fashion Editor/Stylist: Marie Chaix, Makeup Artist: Lauren Parsons, , Casting Directors: Nico Mao, Rachel ChandlerAJOK DAING, EVIE ASHBY, VICTORIA FAWOLE, NYADUOLA GABRIELWhile Carolina Herrera’s dresses are big and bold, the idea at the heart of a brand is a simple one: conveying joy through opulent fabrics in beautiful shapes. For Spring 2024, Wes Gordon stayed true as always to this core vision, while subtly updating it with a modern sense of flexibility by opting for a bit more layerability and separates.The Impression
