Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
NEW YORK, United States — There's a handful of millennial labels paving the way forward in New York these days, and Rio Uribe's Gypsy Sport is one whose unconventional approach has garnered genuine industry acclaim. That said, it wasn't the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund prize he took home earlier this year that drew the crowds at his Spring/Summer 2017 show today, but rather the infectious energy that pulses through his joyful, irreverent designs.
From basketball jerseys fringed with marabou and kaori shells to kitsch
slips layered over even kitsch-er 70s floral shirts, Uribe's knack for tacky trips down memory lane (and across cultural and gender boundaries) are both endearing and enjoyable to behold. Picked apart, his bowerbird aesthetic should find no shortage of fearless young fans.
