New York Adult Entertainment: soho store debut features graduating class from Parsons.
NEW YORK (Herald de Paris) – Tuesday night I dropped in on the SoHo store Debut, which featured the strongest collections from the current graduating class from the Parsons School of Design.
I spoke with three designers that immediately caught my eye, including the winner of the coveted Designer of the Year award.
Jonathan Cohens collection was inspired by the 1990 documentary, Paris is Burning, which was filmed in the mid to late 1980s. The film is about drag queens, drag ballrooms, and the underground. Men who lived the life in the clubs but in reality were prostitutes and werenât living such a glamorous life after all. The main print throughout the collection came from the vanity mirror in the movie. Cohen blurred pearls, lipstick, and lights throughout the print to create a decadent pattern. Showcasing his theme of making the best of life, celebrating your body and image no matter you have, in a seasonless collection.
