The Gypsy Sport spring 2023 collection is here. See every look:
Oh to be a self-possessed teen decked out in emo plaid, eyeliner, and bridge piercings in 2002 at The Smell, L.A.’s all-ages DIY venue downtown. Rio Uribe of Gypsy Sport can take you there. The old Amoeba Music building, a former access point to culture for so many Angeleno teens, was a fitting venue. The walls were pulsing in projections of the Gypsy Sport logo and an Infinite Jest-esque live feed of us, the audience, our little be-booted feet tapping fitfully.
The show opened with what he called “a very Chicano character”: A model with a shorn-head, goatee, and face tats strode down the runway in matching white oversized shorts and jacket in Gypsy Sport logo print. But then the box sprung open and the definition of Chicanismo diverged again and again. Uribe recalled the clubs that opened his eyes to fashion and identity. “There was a place called Arena,” he said, “where we all used to go as teenagers because…you could sneak in at 15 or 16….That’s the first time I saw a drag queen in real life…the first time I saw two girls making out. All of these big life-changing moments happened at the Arena for me.” Arena is now gone. Places like The Smell are just barely hanging on post-pandemic.
