FW18

FW18 Collaborations by GINGRCO

 
 

With the heavy unexpected rains this season, shooting was difficult and, I had to reschedule many shoots. However, there was I had the loving opportunity to collaborate with Jennifer Avina, an L.A based blogger whom was also in the city for NYFW.

Meeting in an Lyft (which I highly recommend you use), Jen and I exchanged information and planned to regroup later in the week.

 Early Monday morning, I headed up to Sixth Avenue to the Kimpton Eventi for our shoot. Jennifer was in New York not only for fashion week but to complete the finale piece of her new online consultation agency called Renson Social .

Reason Social is a team with experience in social media marketing, brand development, influence marketing and much more.  Our client base consisting of many industries from beauty to fitness, to food & beverage to even non-profit.

I had the opportunity to attend the Helen Anthony FW18 Collection. Before the show started, I walked around the room with Samantha of Samantha Leibowitz, looking for a good seat. Avoiding the second row at all costs, because we actually wanted to see the show and not the back of someone’s head, we settled into the third row. 

As the venue filled up I went to snap some photos of HuesOfMan, in his all pink suit only to get stopped by photographers for a photo-op. Sadly, I forgot to get their information so I only have our instagram photo.

Naeem Anthony, British designer, debuted his first unisex clothing line to during NYFW. Typically only creating menswear, Anthony’s garments blurred the idea of gender norms while providing an edgy alternative gothic feel.

The models wore their hair in wavy curls, crimped hair styles, afros, short cuts, and locs. One model was even sporting an up do similar to a mullet. But the messy hair only added to the collection. The collection was anything from light and airy but more so mysterious and adventurous. Bright whites, silvers, vibrant reds, with dull browns and greens layered garments played with gold crosses, oversized paisley prints and shiny jewelry provided by Atelier Jen. 

The collection embodied it’s name “Motions of Strength”. Anthony’s message is to bring humans together, which he incorporates into his collection by blending eastern and western fabrics, and cultures within his pieces.

I am excited to see where Naeem Anthony will lead his brand to next. Only being in the game for three years, He certainly is leaving his mark.

NYFW FW18: Vivi Zubedi Runway by GINGRCO

Sakiyna and I stood under our umbrellas outside of Industria. It had been raining all #NYFW and it didn’t look like it was going to let up anytime soon. As we entered the building, there was a strong sense of women empowerment which I felt from many of the women. Something I’m sure Vivi Zubedi would wanted all of us to feel. 

NYFW.com reports that Zubedi has it is her mission to “support other entrepreneurs especially women entrepreneurs in South Kalimantan.” As she “intends to promote original fabrics from South Kalimantan (Pagatan Tenun/Woven and Sasirangan) to the international market.”

Something that was rather evident on the runway, as the Indonesian designer effortlessly blended her home traditional wear with mainstream fashion. These traditional designs that which are being preserved by the women of Kalimantan, are now for the world to see, with the help of Zubedi.

Pearl embellishments cover velvet garments that brightly shine down the runway. As the models struck the ground in simultaneously with every electronic beat, they took their time for us to see Zubedi’s work. Some of their eyes covered by the shadows casted from the hats, that read "Banua Borneo" . Other’s face fully illuminated by the bright lights, as their hair remained concealed under beautiful hijabs. 

I was actually saddened when the show ended, but happy that I got to witness Zubedi’s work in person. And although I am not Indonesian , I am still very proud of Zubedi’s efforts to preserve her native traditions whilst simultaneously giving back to the women of Kalimantan communities.
