Designer Raul Lopez prepares for his New York Fashion Week runway show by fitting models and styling looks in his studio with his team.
, helping a bashful young male model named Lamine into a pair of shiny pointed mule boots. Lamine had arrived at Lopez’s temporary studio at the WSA building in the Financial District looking more like a cool downtown kid than a model, holding a skateboard. In minutes, he had transformed into someone older, more mysterious, almost extraterrestrial in a pair of skin-tight black trousers and a voluminous, cocoonlike black jacket with exaggerated shoulders.
Kyle Luu and Raul Lopez roll around the studio in office chairs to get different angles on the models during fittings.Lopez stands in the middle of the studio, wearing black bike shorts, a black STELUAR hoodie from his collaboration with Stella Artois last year, and a diamond-and-crystal-covered gold watch gifted to him by JBW, the partner of an upcoming collaboration.
Occasionally, Lopez sneaks a peek at some of the latest collections on his phone. Lopez says Vazifdar, his designer, secretly hated a show everyone else loved and is waiting for “someone to trash it.” “No, I loved it!” Vazifdar says, laughing. One in particular sends Lopez on a little rant about corporate ownership. “Those groups force those things down their throats,” he says, “That’s why I would never join a group.
Meanwhile, Vazifdar is keeping track of what still needs to be altered or checked. A pair of corduroy shorts that zip off into high-cut panties need to be taken in on the waist, half an inch on each side. “No. 5 stitch,” Lopez requests. “Not a faggot stitch — have you seen that? We should just do a whole collection called faggot faggot stitch.”
