The Style Issue, September 14, 2023
New York Fashion Week (NYFW) churned out a slew of haute fashion moments from celebrities, models, editors, and, too, the global cognoscenti.
Page 2 is adding our very own Rock celebrity stylist Neko “Bootleg Rocstar” Kelly to NYFW’s most memorable and indeed shareable Instagrammable moments.
Kelly got paparazzi lenses clicking at Sergio Hudson show as he stepped out in white suiting, matching boots finished with a cathedral veil. “I love the whole androgynous look and yes the cameras loved me!” he shared. No idle boast! Kelly is booked and busy… more on that anon.
But fashionable veil moments worn by men is hardly new! NBA superstar Dennis Rodman wore a whole bridal look back in 1996 (with a full Kevyn Aucoin face and entourage of tuxedo-wearing women), declaring that he was marrying himself, and (more recently) Kid Cudi hit the 2021 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awards dressed in a custom wedding dress from ERL, sneakers and a veil. And, we’re loving graphic designer Brik’s reels of AI Men’s Veil Collection earlier this month.
