Among the emerging talents that animated the crowded New York scene, Mirror Palais distinguished itself by choosing a ‘heavenly’ location as the setting for its fashion show. Set in the Church of the Ascension and under the banner of contrasts (concealment and revelation, sacred and profane), for the brand’s SS23 the models made their way down the aisle in wrap-around dresses, sheer fabrics, corsets, miniskirts, hair gathered in a headdress reminiscent of nuns’ bonnets. Marcelo Gaia intentionally explores the religious references of the Old World, probably in a legacy of his childhood in Brazil, in a decidedly lewd key. A reflection that ends with a transparent wedding dress complete with silk veil and visible thong, worn by the ethereal Wolfie Cindy.
