PHILIPP PLEIN SPRING SUMMER 2018 Good Gone Bad

At showtime, disco balls and pole dancers descend on the theater, with Dita von Teese who performs herfamous “Martini Glass” a burl esque number. Then Future takes the stage; his beats come blaring through the speakers as Plein’s cast of top models make their way down the runway, starting with Adriana Lima and ending with Irina Shayk. This season, a crew of young artists were thrown into that mix; among them 21 Savage, Swae Lee, Brandon Lee Anderson, Broadus Cordell, and his grandfather Papa Snoop, who all embody the badass spirit of the international fashion house. And finally Teyana Taylor who wrapped up the catwalk show with her fierce and provocative walk in front of a cast of notorious attendees that included 50 Cent, Fabolous and EJ Johnson. As Plein says, “Fashion is made in the streets. Not in the atelier.” Minaj sat front row for Plein’s cabaret-themed show. Other notable attendees included 50 Cent, Fabolous, EJ Johnson and Yo Gotti, who performed with Nicki at the afterparty. The show also featured a diverse cast of models, with celebrities like Rae Sremmurd, 21 Savage, Metro Boomin and Snoop Dogg's son Cordell Broadus gracing the runway with Adriana Lima, Irina Shayk, Jasmine Sanders, Elsa Hosk and Shanina Shaik. Teyana Taylor closed the show with another fierce walk and Future performed live during the presentation. The collection does its job to drive that point home using inventive iconography, like a bedazzled fairy princess in bondage, along with friendly cartoon animals who pop up on studded denim jackets, duchesse silk dresses, and jacquards. Feminine lace and ruffly dresses are harnessed by leather bondage straps. Even seemingly innocent princesses and princes have fetishes.

Plein Spring Summer 2018, for women and men, is a celebration of our inner desires. It’s the opposite of suppression. And the right amount of wrong.

After the show, it’s the after party. The evening’s VIPs, and their entourages, are invited to reserved tables sponsored by premiere New York City nightclub 1OAK. The final star of the evening, performing alongside

Yo Gotti, is none other than Nicki Minaj, hip hop’s fairy princess if there ever was one.

Young and passionate. They’re exciting and they tell about us. They don’t stop at the palate.
