On Thursday night, Kith closed out day one of New York Fashion Week with a stadium-style presentation at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which debuted an epic series of collaborations. Titled KITH PARK, the massive production showcased exclusives from Greg Lauren, Levi’s, Columbia, Bergdorf Goodman, UGG, New Balance, Vans, Oakley and more.
Shown in four parts, the night kicked off with the retailer’s in-house collection, followed by a massive unveiling of Kith for Greg Lauren and a preppy, red, white and blue Tommy Hilfiger collab. The all-American brands’ classic blazers, cargo pants polos and outerwear were paired with Columbia‘s all-weather gear and limited-edition UGGs. Furry, high-top Vans—a partnership with Mastermind JAPAN—were paired with branded tracksuits and knits.
The finale—set in front of a gate mimicking the Versace Mansion in Miami—showcased tricked out looks embodying the opulence of the famed Italian fashion house. Bold sweatsuits, separates and outerwear were tricked out with Versace logos, Medusa heads and baroque prints. The star-studded front row featured Lebron James, Justin Bieber, Heron Preston, 2 Chainz and many others.
