Kicking off the schedule on Friday with an array of sparkles, sequins, feathers, chainmail, and even heart-shaped nipple pasties, Natalie De’Banco gave her gorgeous, gorgeous girls their viral looks for next season. Speaking ahead of the collection, One Night in Paris, the designer said this offering lives in her brain rent-free, and was thus one of her favorite ones to conceptualize and execute. The blend of ’80s staples meets French girl après dark went down a treat with her front row fans (think: Leonie Hanne and other party wear enthusiasts). Here’s how De”Banco was feeling before her first-ever runway show held outside of Spring Studios.
