Fish out of water for the FW17 show.
Somewhat anonymous collective Section 8 made their fashion debut at New York Fashion Week with a twist on wardrobe essentials like pencil skirts, button down, blazers…oh, and actual koi fish? London designer Ryohei Kawanishi and Hood By Air stylist Akeem Smith, who are both confirmed members of the collective, spoke to Vogue about their decision to remain a mystery and let the collection speak for itself. With the models walking down the runway with fish in their mouth – to symbolize the new brand’s ‘fish out of water’ situation – Section 8 sure made a statement.
