Creatures Of The Wind: “Hail Hyperborea” was the theme of Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters’ Spring show this season. What on earth does that mean? Something otherworldly—mythological, to be exact. “It’s a place in ancient Greek mythology where the sun shined 24 hours and everyone lived forever,” said Peters. Sounds (and looked) good to us. The resulting collection included several gold and silver lame below-the-knee skirts and short sleeved Forties and Fifties inflected button downs that were less glitzy-glam than they were straight-up cool. As for the era references, the duo sourced the vibe and silhouettes of the collection from the photographs of Eugene von Bruenchenhein, an obscure artist who hailed from Wisconsin. The shutterbug’s portraits of his wife from that time period have recently been thrust into the spotlight thanks to the Venice Biennale. Thus, the Chicago natives infused elements of Western clothing mixed with a Grease-esque “Pink Ladies†feel. Think swing skirts with big rose accents, neck scarves, and a long pale pink blazer with a destroyed flower Swarovski crystal detail worn over a cashmere metal melange ribbed sweater and black paper nylon sport shorts that sashayed down the runway to Hisham Baroocha’s mix of the Beach Boys and Nancy Sinatra.
