Leandra Medine, The Man Repeller
We are quickly finding that no fashion party is quite as fun without Kanon cocktails to drink or a man repeller by your side to provide the night's witty commentary. But we prefer the original Man Repeller to the generic kind. Luckily we had her--Leandra Medine, in all her sartorial glory--at the Levi's Fall preview last night to enjoy those Kanon cocktails alongside us. And since we can't play back all her witty commentary from the night for you here, we had her blog about it instead. Read on for a Man Repeller's perspective on Fall fashion via Levi's, below:
Last night called for what was perhaps one of the more engaging and innovative Fall press previews the recent weeks have offered. Held in a large loft space on Wooster Street, the Levi's fall collection unveiled itself on giggle-inducing attractive models for the fashion crowd to admire. Here's the kick of it though, human installation art...clad in Levi's. A girl swaying around on a swing, two painfully good looking models, posed as a couple just laying in bed, another group lounging around by a television, a man wearing just jeans hung out in a bathtub off to a corner and another man in a very current rendition of the Canadian tuxedo stood in front of a bicycle, practically begging Scott Schuman to snap him. For the record, he most certainly deserved a click or two.
Even before getting lost in the preview though, upon arrival at the space, a desk dedicated to "The Bumbys," a man-woman duo masked in sunglasses and bandannas over their noses and mouths, sat with typewriters, observing the crowd walking in and typing the night away. I later learned they were writing judgments based completely off preview-goer appearances. They ranked us too and when it was time for my type-write of death, Ms. Bumby declared "your sweater looks cheap to make but like it probably cost a fortune." She was wrong. $23.99 at Necessary Clothing.
I digress. Ultimately, where there is copious fun and fashion, there will always be Kanon and it should be no surprise that our main squeeze provided the sweet libations. I had five, count them, cucumber juice x vodka cocktails, that took the preview from great to...fhdjktbsb. Know what I'm saying?
Give your FOMO a rest and peep some of the party photos above.
