ThreeASFOUR Fall 2012 Comes Full Circle
Edited by Jessica Lapidos
ThreeASFOUR moves right around in a circular motion, looping from the printed wearability from Spring 2012 to the more experimental outer layers of Fall. The circular thematics broke garments into fragments to assemble spherically. Leather cut laser allowed for a precise interconnectedness, as the pattern looks particularly like a spine spinning in spirals, also partially like wheels turning in a machine. The machine of threeASFOUR – Gabi, Ange, and Adi – work insulated amongst themselves, not adhering to trend cycles, but to their own spherical vision. When Sean Ono Lennon releases the threeASFOUR documentary he is filming, perhaps we will learn more how these circular parts began to turn.
John Varvatos and L’Uomo Vogue kicked off New York Fashion Week with one of the most memorable parties the fashion world has ever seen. Held at Varvatos’ 315 Bowery Boutique, alternative rock band Alberta Cross opened the CBGB party, where New York’s fashion elite and several celebrities attended. Among the guest appearances were Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Kelly Cutrone, Rachel Hunter, Mick Rock, Badge Dale, Sean Lennon, Sebastian Bach, Timothy White and Jay Kaufman. And if that doesn’t sound exciting enough, legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses made a special musical appearance, playing a two hour set…yes, we totally rocked out to “Sweet Child of Mine.” I’m telling you folks, John Varvatos really knows how to throw a party!
