RUNWAY: Rag & Bone FW17
Since going solo,
Marcus Wainwright has eschewed a runway show for
Rag & Bone and continues to do so for the label he helped found, alongside David Neville, who has since left. For FW17, the clothes were worn by attendees to a party, from famous faces like Alexander Petrovsky to models such as Yuri Pleskun. For the press, Wainwright offered polaroids of the clothes, challenging the viewer to go out and find these clothes, look at them in person, touch them, and try them on. It's an interesting position and one which may pay dividends. As for the clothes themselves, they stayed in-line with the label's established aesthetic: denim, cool knits and a downtown-cool vibe.
