The Interior spring 2023 collection is here. See every look:
The distraught socialites on the catwalk of Interior’s first show looked ready to snap. Their frenetic walk , their suits with distressed hems, and their way of clutching the thighs of their pants and dresses so they didn’t hit the floor came together to paint a portrait of glamorous angst. A coterie of Patrick Bateman’s escaped victims.
Or, make that Edward Rochester’s escaped victims, as Bertha Mason and her ilk are perennial inspirations for designers Lily Miesmer and Jack Miner. “She probably just has anxiety, and they’re like ‘You’re hysterical, go live in the attic.’” Miesmer said backstage. Distress—both mental and physical—was a driving force in the show, down to the Pixies hit “Where Is My Mind” playing during the finale.
“That’s how specialness showed up this season. In the past it was embroidery and embellishment; this season it was destruction,” Miner said. “There’s an audacity in destroying the most beautiful cotton fiber, yarn, cashmere, and layers of chiffon and lace,” Miesmer added, referring to how she and Miner took power tools and horse brushes to the textiles to give them the exact right effect. Not my-jeans-just-happen-to-be-ripped distressed, but “lived-in in an unhealthy way,” per Miesmer.
There are elements that went a bit too far and thus felt related to the indie sleaze revival, including a ripped red t-shirt and lace up skinny pants. However, Miesmer—who lived through that era in New York—is quick to distance Interior from that idea and the figures who defined the times. “I think it’s so problematic and it was a terribly fraught time in fashion and in New York,” she said.
The fun of Interior is how they distort the prissy, the stuffy, and the basic. Their first collection was filled with clothes that would look at home at a dinner party, but since then, Miner and Miesmer have incrementally added a sinister undercurrent. A pink strapless ruched cotton jersey top with a swishy cotton gauze skirt is a prime example.
