Looks from Sarah Hawes in the Parsons MFA show.Upon first glance, the worlds of fashion and gaming might not seem like the most likely of bedfellows. Gearing up to host a few Ukrainian designers at Urban Zen downtown on Wednesday, Karan enthused about the exhibition currently on display there titled, “Scartime, Emanuel Gargano.” Dividing her time between the Hamptons and New York City requires a different energy for each environment, she said.Īfter the show, designer Sergio Hudson said the show reminded him of the freedom that comes with being in college. “You can be so creative at that time and free without worrying about what has to sell and what doesn’t have to sell. It’s a freeing thing to see and delightful to see,” Hudson said.Īnother front row-er, Julia Fox, also gave the show high marks. Who wouldn’t want to come? I think more people should be trying to get in here to see what the kids are doing. There is a lot of raw talent here today,” said Fox, who was wearing an acrylic skeletal-like bustier from the MFA student designer that kicked off Tuesday’s show. (Karan liked Fox’s look so much that she had Fox pose for a post-show photo.)Īt work on a 12-chapter memoir, the 32-year-old Fox said she is also busy raising her son, Valentino. The 18-month-old took his first runway spin at Elena Velez’s show Saturday. Fox said the model who closed the show is her best friend, so she picked him up. That was a cool experience for him to have,” she said.įashion in general seems to be headed in “a really good direction with where we are politically. I feel like I even saw some ‘Handsmaid’s Tale’ on the runway today, which immediately just felt very emotional with Roe v. Women are under attack right now,” Fox said. Uncertain if she will get involved politically by supporting specific candidates, Fox said, “I don’t know. We have to see who is running and what’s going to happen. Parsons dean of fashion Ben Barry described the students’ work as inspired and informed by their experiences from the global pandemic. After spending their first year as MFA students online, they experienced personal issues and “illuminating issues in the world,” he said. There is a deep focus on craft, hand-making, sustainability, fabric reuse and the ways that fabrics and textiles are created,” Barry said.SI: How would you describe what your fashion style is? “That’s evident in the production practices and by the processes that garments are made. ZG (laughing): High level for a Formula One driver. Hamilton, but, obviously, I try to do my best and try to wear whatever I feel comfortable in. Not really getting someone to do my own kind of fashion sense, getting someone to prepare my clothes for the catwalk on Thursday. SI: So, what’s it like competing against drivers that you grew up watching or some of your heroes like Fernando Alonso? For me, it’s more like just wearing whatever I feel is the right thing to do. Obviously, didn’t expect that to have happened maybe two years ago. So it’s great to have that because he was the person, let’s say, I was growing up and watching him and want to be as good as him one day. He was kind of the Formula One driver who inspired me a lot by joining at a very young age. So to achieved what he achieved to being in F1 and to be racing against him is pretty sensational. SI: Why did you choose the number 24 for your car? Really honored to be have that opportunity because, obviously, he was here before I even started karting. ZG: Firstly, my favorite number has so I looked through all this thing. I was growing up as a massive Kobe Bryant, Lakers fan with watching basketball a lot when I was a very young age. Basically, I want to do that in the honor of Kobe. Also just to his mentality, to keep me going in Formula One. So hopefully, bring me some luck to continue here. SI: What does his Mamba Mentality mean to you? That’s the reason because I want to pick a number that means something to me or has some energy for me rather than just pick a number for myself. ZG: I think it means a lot for every sportsman because it’s like when you’re one of the best in your country, which he was one of the best in the world in the NBA and then he’s training harder than the others. Just saying that he will be training at 4 a.m. And like he said, when you stop training … they will catch up to you. If you want to be always the lead, then you have to be always putting in the double effort. I think that’s what everyone in the world should do when you want to achieve something.
