This NYFW was all about the indie designers, and there are some newcomers on the scene. We stopped by three of the most-hyped sophomore shows of the season to see what has the underground excited. At 154 Scott last Wednesday,kicked off fashion week by taking over a basement enclosed in plastic with her erotic revenge fantasy. Blasé lingerie and recycled metal garments met thumping club music and lights at “Lumpen,” designer Ramona Beattie’s ode to slutty debauchery.
I started making cowl neck tops when I didn’t have anything to wear. Right before going out, I was like, “Wait, I can drape it.” It’s about the ease of dressing.BEATTIE: The character is kind of an ambiguous criminal. I chose “Lumpen,” first of all, because I love the sound of that word, and also because it’s kind of in defense of the Lumpenproletariat.
BEATTIE: The pants were lambskin, and then there was a pair of pants that are denim that I just painted black. There was a cowl top that’s embossed leather. Yeah, there were a few things that I laser cut, but you couldn’t really tell it’s laser cut. Like a cowl top that’s different on the inside. BEATTIE: I actually brought a baseball bat for that look. The idea is she is chasing someone down in a hotel in her bra and underwear. I think she carried the hammer instead.BEATTIE: My friend went to Texas recently, and there are just wild deer that hang out by their house, and there was one that they took a picture of that literally had really long eyelashes. That was the makeup inspo.
LAJOIE: I wanted to experiment with silhouettes to see how it can alter your physique, kind of creating different variations of your own self.LAJOIE: Exactly that. Choose your own character.LAJOIE: Yeah. When I was in high school, I failed every year. Every year they would give me the option to change schools, so every year I decided to go to another school until my last year of high school, when I ended up at an alternative school.
LAJOIE: I try to do things in a way that feel comfortable to me and not limit myself to following rules. Even though that may do me a disservice at times, I feel a lot more confident taking my own approach. I don’t want it to feel generic and predictable. I like leaving room for interpretation. It makes it feel like I’m doing something new.LAJOIE: Yeah, we were documenting the whole process of the last few moments of preparation.
