As presentations step away from the structure of a catwalk they give an unlimited possibility to how the clothes should be devoured. During New York Fashion Week I went to a handful of presentations and plucked out each designer from the batch that took proper advantage of displaying their collection. As many more designers morphed over to this format, there was quite a few critics displeased with the rest of the designers who made it just awkward or overbearing to be at a presentation. One of the most satisfying was definitely Rachel Antonoff’s Murder Mystery at the Lafayette House. The invitation made one to believe they were reading the introduction to a mystery book, but in the end, realized it was quite in fact, listing the details and directions.

While one made their way through the house, up and down stairs, squeeze into rooms, and even waiting a bit in the garden- there wasn’t much draining of excitement but only the increasing amount of eagerness to see the scenes and guess the killer.
