New York Fashion Week – Band of Outsiders – Fall/Winter 2011

LA’s own Band of Outsiders has finally assembled a full-blown runway show after years of success while staging informal viewings that were more like model placement than a traditional fashion show. According to the Wall Street Journal, Kirsten Dunst and Kid Cudi were in attendance to watch the show that began with models descending to the stage on ropes. Then menswear options mixed some elements that Band of Outsiders has become well-known for–slim cut striped crews, pristine oxfords, and even rugbys–with some more daring offerings such as a striped poncho or a fur peacoat. The look had many that may not appear while you’re at your next gallery opening or cocktail hour, but isn’t that why we look to runway shows? In their foray into the runway world, we see that there’s nothing wrong with scarves and sport coats, but what fun is all of that without a fur Siberian cap?
