The east side of the Lower still governs, ok

Once, at the birth of Punk Rock, New Wave and Street Style, the Lower East Side was the most modern neighborhood in the world. In the coach this season, it is again.

Proudly undermining the subcultures or the low Manhattan, and clearly referring to the cult film of Larry Clark “Kids”, the coach's latest collection was an ode to those days of glory, even if he also realized the desire of the desire of the New generation of being themselves.

The show was organized Uptown in Park Avenue in the armory, but the huge game of red bricks painted in Toile suggested a forgotten factory under the Old West Side road.

Verse solutions were ingenious: long but adjusted stews with funnel necks and multiple bags; o Duffell's sweeping coats of the floor or Undertaker coats in leather or sheep skin. They all had a great challenge and insolence, which is what Vevers planned.

“I try to listen to the new generation all the time, and what I hear is that they want the right to self -expression, in their lives and in their way,” Stuart concluded.
