Fash! Geek: Rosie Assoulin: WINNER of the CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear

Rosie Assoulin: WINNER of the CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear

Rosie Assoulin (resident friend, prolific wife and bad ass designer,) won the Swarovski award for emerging womenswear designer last night at the CFDA awards. Here, a look back at her Spring 2015 presentation.
Hi! Good morning! I’ve got a question: what are you doing right now?
Are you:
a) Laying in bed, thinking about the fact that this is one of the first of many Saturdays that will require your putting on a sweater before leaving home to grab a cup of coffee or worse: leaving your bed to get to the kitchen for a hot beverage (worse because the apartment is so cold you can’t even meander through your personal space without several layers shielding your body).
b) Still laying in bed but not so much thinking about third-party induced energy so much as you are scrolling through Instagram to come upon the New York Times Fashion account, which is posting photo after photo of street style celebrity in Milan twirling and girling like there’s no tomorrow, there was no yesterday, and when the maximum number of likes have been accrued, there will be no today, either?
c) Again, in bed, on Instagram, looking at photos from the most recent shows in Milan (Giorgio Armani! What is the story with that Cleopatra reincarnate, slowly traipsing on her bare feet, am I right?)
d) As a result of item c, maybe you’ve just locked your phone screen, tossed it over to the bed stand on your left and are now thinking about how quickly these fashion weeks come, go and are forgotten. It’s a vaguely dark, certainly introspective thought for 10AM on a Saturday but you can rest assured that when you’re in the company of Man Repeller, we’re thinking it â€" whatever it is â€" too.
Enter the above photos, shot last month in New York at Rosie Assoulin‘s stellar SS15 presentation, which took place at the Notre Dame school in the West Village (the decor included a full wall that was extemporarily tp’ed, because that’s the kind of irreverent genius Assoulin is), by Nicole Cohen and Courtney Velasco.
So before you get up, before you brush your teeth, before you think about laundry or how much you didn’t drink last night but could have (or conversely, I suppose, who that body next to you in your bed is…), let’s time travel back to September in New York and say it unison: it ain’t over ’til the mad hat sings.
And between you and me, I don’t think it has vocal chords.
