It’s been a while since we’ve had a dose of Dascha Polanco, formerly of Orange Is The New Black, and once a reliable Fug Madness contender. She’d certainly have a case for this round, although she’s at the Elena Velez fashion show and things there clearly veered toward the, er, strange. Consider this:
Outfitting the “supernatural muse of seduction and subversion” through a total of 30 looks, the runway was split into three different shadow woman personas, with models aligning with either “The Captain’s Daughter” (Velez actually being one, her mother a ship captain), “The Land Walker” or “The Leech.” […] The show notes continue to describe the EV shadow woman as a “priestess possessing the wisdom of the ages yet as unknowable and unfathomable as the maritime abyss” as well as a “a creature fully integrated with her shadow self, steadily shedding the scales of her prescribed identity.”
I was thinking “Rough Night at the Swinger Party,” but okay. She’s heading up a juicy roundup of Fashion Week attendees that also includes Keke Palmer, Tracee Ellis Ross, Beanie Feldstein, and more.
