The Tamesis
Fun-loving Ivy Getty wore a tiara with a two-tone midi dress from the new collection, and she was keen to wear her vintage lilac Hervé tonight. It actually belonged to her late father, a prolific collector of women’s clothing, who left her a collection of Hervé Léger and Paco Rabanne dresses that he kept in storage. Meanwhile, Campbell Hunter-Puckett, aka “Pookie,” told Fashion She also has two of her beloved bandage dresses hanging in her closet. “I’m always surprised when my girlfriends ask me to borrow clothes because they’re over 10 years old, but they always say they’re the most flattering!”
The Hervé Leger bandage dress evokes vivid memories for many. Some attendees went into nostalgia mode when they recalled borrowing a dress from their mom or sister—one girl even talked about wearing one to her junior high homecoming dance. Keller, who DJs, noted that she considers bandage skirts to be a true “Upper East Side girl fashion” — a reference to the group of people who paired them with Van Cleef jewelry when she was growing up. It’s a look that didn’t appeal to her own mom, stylist and former stylist. Fashion Editor Alyssa Santissi, she said. But the tide has changed: “I think Hervé is cool now,” Keller said.
Designer Ochs believes one of the reasons for the body-hugging silhouette’s renewed appeal has to do with the pop culture relevance of brands like Skims. “A few years ago, no one was talking about shapewear, and now, it’s everywhere! We’re doing built-in shapewear, and these girls get it,” she said.
By the time the party was officially over, most fashion week veterans had left the club—it was a school night, after all. Keller is packing up her equipment and handing it over to the next DJ ready to take the stage. However, that didn’t stop the younger crowd from staying around to dance into the early hours and record TikToks of each other. Some even ordered bottle service. A duo in their early twenties, attending a fashion week party for the first time, said they searched for vintage bandage dresses on the rental platform Pickle after receiving the invitation. One proudly said her gray and black number matched Serena van der Woodsen’s in gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 4 former archives-She would make Dan Humphrey jealous in this dress. “I can’t believe it,” she said when the flash of her friend’s iPhone suddenly came on as she posed for more photos.
