Sometimes first impressions are the right ones, sometimes not. Here’s what we thought when we saw…

Joseph Altuzarra
Punchy ponchos! Razzle tassel!
Men’s shirting as skirts.
Very high slits — time to buff up your gams.

Louise Goldin
Tennis racket meets straitjacket.
Abstract knits — yes, it’s possible.
The lacy modular shapes at the end were a bit much.

VPL
Gym bunnies are making it work!
Someone get Victoria a senior gig at Adidas or Nike, please.

Jen Kao
Appalachia meets Badlands.
Matching hair and dog!

Band of Outsiders
A little all over the map with a few bright spots.
Running shorts and a fringed green sweatshirt = clever.
