No Class Sessions of Their Own: Queer, Ghetto Fab, Black Punk Symphony

Few shows truly capture the essence nyfw and New York in general. You know, raw, gritty, underground, club-kid aura. Well, No Sesso is firmly anchored in its zeitgeist. It’s always queer, high camp, punk, and misfit. At the SS 23′ show, the Maison performed at its best and presented an authentic collection. Packed with signature house codes (see rouge nylon and leather Aslak dress and signature ‘carry bag’), Ballroom clips, Lil’ Kim, a stunning soundtrack of house classics and a truly organic and comprehensive casting. It’s Noccesso’s world and you should be lucky enough to experience a drop of their magic.

Entitled SESSO, this season, as the show notes put it, “dives into the sharp and dark side of the brand’s identity to tell the story of its aesthetic evolution into ‘Black Punk.’ It was most prevalent in the season’s color palette and materials (hard and soft premium denim juxtaposed with silk chiffon, nylon and Italian leather). The Girls With Dolphin Earring.This season also saw a continuation of the collaboration with Nike, with a mini rouge dress paired with AF1’s mini rouge dress and Serena’s deconstructed reconstruction of her Williams Nikes. her on-court look.

Design duo Pia Davis and Autumn Randolph know exactly who they are and who their customers are. Very few brands can say that. From everyday wear to evening wear and even swimwear, the yarns in the collection are designed to be ‘2 in 1’. For example, see 36. An understated black slip dress reimagined through a utilitarian lens with embellished cargo pockets. Interrupting the line of the dress is a tiered zipper that hints at the practicality and interchangeability of the dress. Full dress today, mini dress tomorrow.

The show kicked off with ballroom icon MC Debra’s “I Don’t Want To Take My Other Daughter Out” soundbite, and at the halfway point, the models took to the runway to the sound of Lil’ Kim’s “Queen.” There are moments when it goes down. Bitch. That duality, the intersection of queer culture and high his fem bragadocio, could not have summed up No Sesso more perfectly.

One of the distinguishing features of each season of No Sesso is beauty and glamour, and this season was no less a visual delight. Curly hair, a glamorous campy ghetto fab updo, long acrylic chrome nails, moles, black lips and her liner. It’s always been a love letter to Black Her Femme pomp and glam, street girl, Volks with a subversive edge.
