Weinsanto RTW Fall 2023
"Step aside!" shouted a dummy before tackling the narrow Weinsanto track in his giant black velor puffer jacket, shoulders wider than four linebackers and train almost long enough for the first down.
If this was a subliminal audition for Moncler Genius, it was genius. Otherwise, that's okay: It further cemented Victor Weinsanto as a talent to watch, and one with a range that, for fall, extended from relatively sedate camel coats to a goofy corset that swaggered. advanced so far, it was reminiscent of a flying -necked lizard.
Jean Paul Gaultier was in the front row smiling and applauding one of his youngest protégés. Weinsanto had worked with Gaultier on the designer's "Fashion Freak Show" magazine in 2018, hence his cabaret flair and showmanship.
With their bouncy "Barbarella" hairstyles and extra-long brushable fingernails, the models have it improved, though a little less than previous Weinsanto releases, perhaps to let the audience focus more on the clothes.
Indeed, it was a variety show and there was a lot to see.
The foam-colored denim jeans had a high-waisted mom fit on top and then widened for a second low rise, placing them somewhere in the middle of the male-female and streetwear-casualwear divides.
The collection was strong on outerwear, with detachable pockets adding a thrill of edginess to the beautiful camel or denim coats; metallic piping adding to the drama of a grand velvet opera number, and shiny satin a dressy edge to bombers or a roomy bed jacket.
The collection was childish at times, but mostly "Sex and the City meets Rihanna," Weinsanto said in behind the scenes, explaining that he eschews any specific theme in favor of a variety of characters and attitudes.
There was plenty for sexpots - and Super Bowl halftime performers - but also something for secretaries, although Weinsanto's pencil skirts are tighter than those Carol Burnett wore as Mrs. Wiggins.
