New York Men’s Day Showcase

by Isabella Newlands February 14, 2024
written by Isabella Newlands

It’s that time of the year again: New York Fashion Week is here. Agentry PR kicked off the week with the New York Men’s Day (NYMD) Showcase, presented by Hilldun. The bi-annual fashion collective initiative is intended to nurture emerging talents in the fashion world.  The showcase consisted of four designers: The Salting, Tarpley, Bulan, and the debut designer Pas Une Marque. Attendees could sip Topo Chicos while strolling through Location05 exploring the various designers of the evening. 

The Salting, true to its name, presented a very nautical inspired collection. The creative directors, Michael Ward and Manel Garcia Espejo, served pinstripe blazers accented with brown rope tied in complicated sailor knots. Their silhouettes redefine the traditional male workwear to create raw, unisex looks. The showcase was accompanied by the iconic Stretch Armstrong spinning some sweet vinyl. 

Designer Tarpley Brooks Jones, of Tarpley, displayed his newest collection: “Anon-Maybe You See Me, Maybe You Don’t.” The minimalist futuristic looks act as a critique of the dynamics of visibility and invisibility in the digital age. Models were adorned with massive, speed racer sunglasses and boxy silhouettes that obscured their faces and bodies. 

Bulan showcased their fall 2024 collection: “Garbage Collector.” Designed and directed by Beam Ratchapol Ngaongam, the collection explores the life and relationship of Ngaongam’s mother who was a garbage collector growing up in Thailand. The collection consists of whimsical, colorful knit pieces draped over the models as they stand on cardboard boxes and empty soda cans. 

The French luxury brand Pas Une Marque, in partnership with Johnson Tsang, presented their new collection, “Seams of Dissent.” The playful designs challenge societal norms while simultaneously balancing art and elegance. This unique blend could easily be seen on the streets of New York.

“Everyone in the sports world, wake up! The women of the W: they have been here, they are here, and they are not going away,” Executive Producer Terri Carmichael Jackon says directly into the camera. Shattered Glass: A WNBPA Story newest documentary on Tubi directed by up-and-comer Andrea Buccilla and produced by Malka Media Group LLC, in partnership with the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) and PUMA. Additional support was provided by Crown Royal Regal Apple. The film explores the busy, personal lives of basketball superstars Nneka Ogwumike (president of the WNPA), Jonquel Jones, and Breanna Stewart, and WNBA legend, Sheryl Swoopes. Shattered also follows Ogwumike and Jackson as the Players Association tries to negotiate fairer contracts for the female athletes. The film advocates for betting on women, from the stars of the WNBA to the all-women development, production, and direction team.

On the purple carpet, the MVPs shared what it was like filming the documentary. The most difficult parts were working around the players busy schedules, and allowing the camera crew into their personal lives. At times uncomfortable, Ogwumike shared that women athletes “superpower” is their ability to open up and show the fans their personal lives. Buccilla also mentioned the importance of maintaining the same camera crew when filming in the players homes, to make people like Stewart’s young daughter Ruby the most comfortable as possible. When asked about the importance of telling the WNBPA story now, Jones felt it was time to raise awareness of the lack of support for the WNBA and how the Players Association is working to change that.

Muse Monday at Stonewall Inn

Looking to beat the Monday blues? Look no further than Muse Mondays at Stonewall. Presented by the personable Nina Divina, the stage comes alive with an array of electrifying performances from New York’s finest burlesque dancers. The night kicked off with Majesty Jekyll crawling onto the stage in a beige jumpsuit and American flag mask. The performance ended with Jekyll twirling through the audience in a rainbow tutu and scarf. Who knew political commentary could be so sexy? Next, Vivi Bruneau delivered prom queen realness. Bruneau innocently batted her eyelashes while twerking; it’s called balance. Mizzadyy followed with one of the most energetic performances I’ve ever witnessed. They high-kicked and side-split their way into the audience’s heart. Anne Hinged was sultry yet daring as their number was inspired by a “dark feminine desire.” Their winged eyeliner could have slashed me and I would say thank you. I would be remitted to not mentioning gogo kitten Chyna Krebs and gogo door girl DiDi Opulence, the show would crumble without their lap dancing skills.

Finally, Nina Divina took the stage for a rockstar-esque performance, hair flips and leather thigh-highs included. What’s so delightful about Divina is her ability to embody various roles. She can be your friendly mc that encourages audience members to participate, and she can serve pure sex appeal while upside down on a chair. The night ended with a dance party to Donna Summer’s “Last Dance.” From its origins to the variety of performers, Muse Mondays is defined by its colorful community and friendly connections. Look out for Nina Divina’s Birthday Bash on July 17th at Stonewall, I expect nothing short of show-stopping queerness.

Theatre Review: ‘Elyria’ Debuts at Linda Gross Theatre

by Isabella Newlands March 2, 2023
written by Isabella Newlands

Presented by Atlantic Theater Company, Elyria tells the story of two immigrant women, their families, and their interweaving lives. Staged in the round at the Linda Gross Theatre, the play begins at a festival where Vasanta (Nilanjana Bose) and Dhatta (Gulshan Mia) unexpectedly run into each other after. They exchange tense words in Gujarati, Swahili, and English with a slight British accent. Their conservation is stiff, there’s a two-decade-old secret these women share, and all will be revealed in an unlikely place: Elyria, Ohio in 1982.
