Dressed to Impress: Decoding New York's Iconic Fashion Culture

Fashioned to impress: Understanding the New York's Iconic Fashion Culture examines how clothes can communicate a range of messages. Garments can be a tool for self-expression, an indicator of establishing social status, and even an instrument of integration and transformation. It is often difficult to understand what "Dress to impress" signifies. The answer depends on where the event is scheduled to take place. The Devil Wears Prada No matter if you're a fan of fashion or not, chances are you've seen The Devil Wears Prada. The film from 2006, based on the bestseller, is a story of Andy Sachs (a recent journalism graduate) as she works at Runway magazine. It's overseen by the confident editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (played Meryl Streep). Patricia Field, an Oscar-nominated designer of costumes and accessories was the one who designed the striking outfit. The internet erupted into a fanfare when Anne Hathaway wore an outfit identical to that was worn by her character in the film at Michael Kors' NYFW show 2023. The actress was sporting bangs, a brown knit turtleneck and a matching crocodile-print overcoat, all paired with black stilettos of course. And in a perfect bit of irony, she was alongside Anna Wintour, who many believe to be the inspiration behind Miranda Priestly. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air The show's fashion was a vehicle to discuss social issues. Will and Carlton’s discussion over a t-shirt that read “Dress Codes Are Sexist, Racist and ClassistIt was a powerful reminder of the fact that fashion is more than style. It's about identity and power. In the 1980s, brighter and bigger was more appealing when it came to runway fashion as demonstrated by fashion designer Bob Mackie's use of the psychedelic color palette and graffiti patterns in his fashion shows. As NYC is frequently described as a melting pot of different cultures Many New Yorkers have distinct fashion that is bold and a bit experimental. The residents of the city show off their unique style, regardless of whether they're sporting hijabs or reading poetry at a fashion showcase. Billy Porter at the Met Gala Billy Porter skipped this year's Met Gala but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to bless the world with the opportunity to go back in time. The Broadway star and Pose actor posted a picture on Instagram that showcased his 2019 Met Gala outfit. The Blonds made the gold-colored bodysuit, robe and shoes. Porter donned this look at an event to celebrate New York's Gilded Age. This period was between the Civil War, and the 20th century's turn. The outfit was an impressive display of camp, a look that Porter has been exploring since his star role in Kinky Boots. It was a flamboyant excessive, exuberant, and over-the-top expression of the theme that celebrated Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, "Notes on Camp." The outfit featured feathers hairpieces, headpieces and asymmetry text, as well as motorised fringing. Marlene Dietrich at the 1930s Met Gala For a long time, New York has upheld the status of a fashion capital. Fashionistas learn their trade here, and the annual Fashion Week events bring in huge crowds and millions of dollars in revenue.

But the city's lengthy history of style wasn't always so extravagant. The curvaceous style of today that's the official uniform for red carpet guests, could actually be a holdover from the 1930s Hollywood glamour (think dresses created by Edith Head for Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Marlene Dietrich). Dietrich was a style chameleon--she played against type in von Sternberg's The Blue Angel before boarding a ship to Hollywood in which she appeared in countless movies like Morocco (1930), Dishonored (1931), Shanghai Express and Blonde Venus (both 1932) and Destry Rides Again (1939). The actress even sat with Hitler in a film with Leni Riefenstahl. Elizabeth Hurley Black Safety Pin Dress The black dress that was worn by Elizabeth Hurley to the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994 created shockwaves throughout the fashion world. Previously an unknown actress and model, her appearance in the dress with her boyfriend Hugh Grant elevated her into the spotlight on the world stage and launched her career for decades. Donatella Versace's fashion for the actress was a test of body-conscious style that challenged the boundaries of dressing for the red carpet. The asymmetrical dress featured peek-aboo cutouts on both sides. They were held together with the gold safety pins. It's become a staple of fashion, with its own Wikipedia entry, and influence on designers for many years to come. (Check out Jennifer Lawrence's latest interpretation of the dress.) Hurley herself recently wore her pink Versace version of the dress minus the safety pins--to a photoshoot with her son Damian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBGw1TVHB2s

Dressed to Impress: Decoding New York's Iconic Fashion Culture

Dressed to Impress: Uncovering the New York's Iconic Fashion Culture explores the ways that clothing can communicate a variety of messages. Garments are a way to express yourself or show off your social standing, or incorporate and change. If an invitation reads "Dress to impress" it may be difficult to determine what exactly that refers to. The answer will often depend on the location of the occasion. The Devil Wears Prada You've probably seen The Devil Wears Prada, regardless of whether you're a fashion fan or not. The 2006 film, which is based on the best-selling book, is a story of Andy Sachs (a recent journalism graduate) who works for Runway magazine. The magazine is run by the charming editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (played Meryl Streep). Patricia Field, an Oscar-nominated creator of costumes and accessories was the one who designed the striking outfit. If Anne Hathaway attended Michael Kors' NYFW 2023 show wearing an outfit that was like the outfit she wore in the film, it sent the internet into an outrage. The actress sported bangs, a brown turtleneck, and matching crocodile-print overcoat, all paired with black stilettos, of course. In a delightful bit of irony, she was sitting with Anna Wintour, who many believe to be the inspiration behind Miranda Priestly. The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Throughout the show, fashion was a vehicle for social commentary. Will and Carlton's conversation over a tee shirt which read "Dress Codes Are Sexist, Racist and ClassistThis was a stark reminder of the fact that fashion is more than just fashion. It's also about power and identity. Bob Mackie, a designer who specialized in psychedelic colors used graffiti patterns as well as colors that were psychedelic to create his runway shows. NYC is often described as the melting pot of diverse cultures. The New Yorkers are famous for their bold, uncompromising sense of style. From reading poetry, to wearing a hijab or a fashion show, the city's residents demonstrate how their attire reflects who they are. Billy Porter at the Met Gala Billy Porter may have missed this year's Met Gala, but that doesn’t mean he won't bless the internet by sharing an Instagram journey back in time. The Broadway actor and Pose actor shared an Instagram post that showcased his 2019 Met Gala look. The ensemble was the gold bodysuit and robe designed by The Blonds with shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti. Porter donned this look to an event honoring New York's Gilded Age. This period took place between the Civil War, and the turning of the century. Porter's outfit is an impressive display of camp. He has been experimenting with this look since his character in Kinky Boots. The ensemble was an exuberant and exuberant tribute to Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, "Notes on Camp". It was adorned with feathers and headpieces aswell in asymmetry, text, and a motorised fringe. Marlene Dietrich in the 1930s Met Gala For a long time, New York has upheld a reputation as the fashion capital of the world. Fashion designers master their craft in the city and Fashion Week events attract huge crowds. The city's style heritage hasn't been as lavish. The curvaceous silhouette that is the prevailing red carpet attire could be a remnant of 1930s Hollywood glamour. Imagine gowns made for Greta Garbo by Edith Head, Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich. Dietrich was a fashion chameleon. She performed in a sexy way in Sternberg's The Blue Angel before boarding on a ship bound for Hollywood in which she appeared in a myriad of films including Morocco (1930), Dishonored (1931), Shanghai Express and Blonde Venus (both 1932) and Destry Rides Again (1939). She even appeared alongside Hitler in a film starring Leni Riefenstahl. Elizabeth Hurley's Black Safety Pin Dress The black dress that was worn by Elizabeth Hurley to the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994 created shockwaves throughout the fashion industry. At the time, she was a largely unknown actress when she walked out in the dress with then-boyfriend Hugh Grant elevated her into the limelight and launched her career for decades.

Donatella Versace's design for actresses was a test of body-conscious fashion that pushed the boundaries of red carpet dressing. The asymmetrical look had peek-a-boo cut-outs on each side that were held together by gold safety pins - the same kind that are used to keep clothes on the hanger. It has become an iconic fashion item, even having its own Wikipedia entry, and an influence on designers for years to come. Check out Jennifer Lawrence's take on the dress. Hurley wore the Versace dress in pink, without safety pins, for a recent photoshoot. Source: YouTube

A Brief History of the CFDA

You don’t know American fashion if you don’t know the CFDA.

Founded in 1962, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) remains a vital pillar of the American fashion industry. The New York City-based trade association boasts over 450 members across different segments of the fashion industry, including Tom Ford, its current chairman, and current committee members like Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Virgil Abloh, and Kerby Jean-Raymond. The CFDA organizes New York Fashion Week and hosts the annual CFDA awards, among other things. Membership is open to U.S. designers or designers based in the U.S. on an invite-only basis. Once invited, applicants require an affirmative vote by the CFDA board for acceptance into the association.

Fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, founder of New York Fashion Week, the Costume Institute Gala, and the International Best Dressed List, created the CFDA to “further the position of fashion design as a recognized branch of American art and culture” and to “advance its artistic and professional needs.” Throughout the decades, the organization has also had an impressive list of presidents, from founding members Norman Norell and Bill Blass to Perry Ellis and Oscar de la Renta, who served two terms between 1973–1976 and 1987–1989.

The first CFDA Awards were held in 1980 to acknowledge and promote the American fashion industry’s creative talent. Known now as the “Oscars of Fashion,” the awards show quickly grew popular and replaced its predecessor the Coty American Fashion Critics’ Awards by 1984. Potential recipients of the CFDA Awards are nominated by the Fashion Guild, a group of over 1,000 CFDA members and industry insiders.

In 1991, designer Stan Herman and Fern Mallis took over the CFDA as President and Executive Director, respectively. Under their leadership, the CFDA grew into the fashion industry force it is today. Herman and Mallis relocated the CFDA Awards from the Museum of Modern Art to the David H. Koch Theater, a move that Herman would deem “more democratic” due to the extra space that the theater provided. Herman and Mallis also centralized New York Fashion Week under the name “7th on Sixth” in 1993. Prior to their organization in Bryant Park tents, where NYFW remained until 2010, fashion shows took place all over the city. In 1998, the schedule for NYFW was pushed to the beginning of the international fashion calendar after scheduling issues with Helmut Lang and Calvin Klein. By 2001, NYFW, though highly successful, became too expensive and unwieldy for the CFDA to handle alone, and was sold to International Management Group (IMG), which, along with other organizations, produces it to this day. However, the CFDA still organizes NYFW due to its ownership of the Fashion Calendar, a once-biweekly, subscription-based pink newsletter founded in 1945 to keep track of NYFW events. The CFDA acquired the calendar from its creator, businesswoman Ruth Finley, in 2014.

Despite their many strokes of genius, not all of Herman and Mallis’s ideas were well-received. In June 1999, the CFDA attempted to televise its annual award ceremony, an effort that cost $2 million. The move was criticized by fashion media due to its length, tediousness, and no-show celebrity hosts. Fashion journalist Cathy Horyn deemed it a “six-and-a-half ordeal of dinner, speeches, and wilting hairdos” in an article for the New York Times.

In 2006, designer Diane Von Furstenberg was elected CFDA President, while Steven Kolb joined the organization as Executive Director, a position he currently holds. Under Furstenberg, the CFDA began to focus on younger, emerging talent. Around the same time, the CFDA also started to take a stand against counterfeit product designs, with multiple designers traveling to Washington, D.C. to lobby for copyright protection on designs.

But the CFDA isn’t simply responsible for glamourous runway shows and awards nights. In 1973, the CFDA Foundation, the CFDA’s separate non-profit philanthropy organization, was founded. Amid the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the CFDA Foundation held its first “7th on Sale” event to raise money and awareness for the New York City AIDS fund. The initial event raised over $4.2 million and was held twice more in San Francisco in 1992 and 1995 in New York City. In 2001, the CFDA collaborated with Vogue magazine for “Fashion for America” after the September 11th attacks.

To boost retail sales during the Great Recession, the CFDA held the first annual Fashion Night’s Out in September 2009. The event, which was hosted annually until its cancellation in 2013, was famous for its high-profile celebrities (such as the Olsen twins), late-night luxury store romps, and alcoholic overflow. The impact of the annual event is still debated. In 2017, in collaboration with Planned Parenthood, the CFDA creates “Fashion Stands with Planned Parenthood” pins to support women’s reproductive rights.

In addition, the association actively works to nurture young American designers. In 1996, the CFDA started its Scholarship Program as part of its Educational Initiatives. Other awards include the Target/CFDA Design Initiative (f. 1998), the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund (f. 2004), and the CFDA/Teen Vogue Scholarship (f. 2011). Most recently, the Fashion Trust Initiative was launched in 2018 to provide grants and membership to upcoming designers.

@lrgclothing iconic “Friday the 47th” hoodie was first released by LRG in 2007 and is now being re-released as an exclusive limited edition drop. Drawing inspiration from classic Slasher Film Villains: Jason Vorhees, it was a much-hyped follow-up to the LRG “Dead Serious” Hoodie of 2006. LRG has gone back into the archives, working with the original manufacturer, and utilizing the original design cads to re-release this grail. Jadakiss, whose government name is Jason, was the perfect choice to partner on the drop, as he has a long legacy of lyrically “murdering” your favorite rapper and leaving them in a bloody wake. Jadakiss has been thrusted back into the public consciousness with arguably the best performance in a Verzuz battle to date, introducing him to a new generation of HipHop fans.
