New Designers On The Block: Cushnie Et Ochs
September 9, 2008
Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs, both Parson graduates are the new designers to hit the fashion scene. So be sure to keep an eye out for Cushnie Et Ochs. They have been baptized as the “new Proenza Schouler”, so you know that is good news for them. So far there have been awards and many well deserved praises. The most recent stemming from their debut collection a few days ago at New York Fashion week.
Inspiration for their collection was drawn from American Psycho. We saw fire hot colors, perfect cutouts and body hugging fabrics. This is a collection for a swanky party going downtown gal. Definitely not for a mousy wall flower. Here are a just a few of the wonderful designs that hit the runway.
