NEITH NYER SS17: A BACKSTAGE STORY

The invitation to the Neith Nyer spring-summer 2017 show on the first day of Paris Fashion Week gave a hint about this season’s collection: a pink soap identical to the one featured on the iconic movie poster, namely David Fincher’s Fight Club. On the runway, the clothes referenced the avatar culture linked the early stages of the Internet. An inspiration infused with an irreverent, quite grunge aesthetic. The models wore deconstructed tops, teared-up denim trousers paired with sleek perfectos – a take on Neith Nyer’s classic pieces. Inspired by artists like Ben Elliot and Markus Schinwald, the collection also featured a collaboration with manga artist HIZGI on a series of jacquards and tweeds. All about the attitude, the collection blur the lines between genders with metallic piercings that flourish on the models faces. It provides a punk vibe that is counterbalanced with the femininity of some designs, like the ruffled strapless leather tops worn over white turtlenecks.
