NYFW Revolve Gallery Insight
New York Fashion Week (NYFW) kicked off on Sept. 9 with elite brands' showrooms taking over social media on a global scale as influencers provided insider looks into these glamorous events.
One of the most talked about showrooms, with celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Kendall Jenner in attendance, was The Revolve Gallery. This was an immersive, multi-brand installation featuring emerging fashion designers, exclusive brands and premier partners.
Each room in the gallery had a different theme where new garments were showcased. These showrooms first started with a vision, then utilized designers to bring them to life. The Revolve Gallery’s versatility shocked with a desert room adorned with sand and plants, a disco room with multi-color flashing lights and a Celsius-themed weight room with two refrigerators full of Celsius energy drinks.
“Thank you so much for coming, we need to stick together in the fashion community because we are all one big family,” said Albert Ayal, the curator of the desert inspired room.
With QR codes at the ready, displayed pieces could be easily purchased and ready for pick-up by the end of the night. Pop-up shops and tattoo artists added further uniqueness and spunk to this event.
Open to the general public, fashion enthusiasts were able to get a glimpse into NYFW and catch a look at some of their favorite A-List celebrities.
Outside of the gallery, three excited attendees chatted about Fashion Week and what it meant to them. “I love dressing as extra as possible. I basically put on clothes for people to look at me,” said Hannah Laurier.
“I love watching the fashion shows. I’d say if fashion shows weren’t so expensive, we’d probably go to most of them,” added Anna Carnell. Some Fashion Week shows can vary drastically in prices, ranging from no cost at all to nearly one thousand, and others being totally exclusive with “invite only” policies.
“I would define fashion as art. Fashion is art and clothing,” said Laurier as she gushed with excitement.
