'Marc Jacobs: One Night Only!'—Revisiting the American Designer's Spring 2016 Show

Today: Marc Jacobs's Ziegfeld Theatre extravaganza. Anticipation, suspense, and (when he was late, as he often was back in the old days before he became the promptest designer in the business) impatience—Marc Jacobs could stir up feelings like no one else on the New York calendar. It never hurt that he held the week-closing spot, rendering everything else a mere prelude. Even still, this Marc Jacobs show stands apart. Instead of the Lexington Avenue Armory, his show venue going back to the 1990s, we were at the Ziegfeld, one of the last single-screen theaters standing in New York. Befitting the location, there was popcorn and fountain drinks, cigarette girls dispensing candy, show merch in the form of souvenir T-shirts, and even Playbills. Before the Ziegfeld movie palace, there was another Ziegfeld, a playhouse famous for its musicals, the most famous of all being Show Boat. It will surprise you not at all to learn that there was no little showboating this September evening in 2015.

'Just Point Yourself in the Direction of Your Dreams'—Remembering Virgil Abloh's First Off-White Runway

Up first: Virgil Abloh's runway debut with Off-White. Off-White was already generating significant heat—buzz, fascination, and yes, skepticism—ahead of Virgil Abloh's first show, which took place on his 35th birthday. The location, Galerie Joseph, on rue de Turenne in a northern corner of the Marais, looked like a Paris atelier crossed with a Soho loft. Small and intimate compared to what the Off-White shows would become, the contemporary space helped concentrate the anticipatory energy that was palpable as guests took their spots on the long rows of benches. Virgil Abloh Photo: Courtesy of Off-White C/O Virgil Abloh Abloh, at least at the outset, had his factions. There were the people who knew and admired him for his previous creative projects and/or those with Kanye West (back when the rapper still went by his full name and had launched the Yeezy sneakers earlier that year). Then there were the fashion insiders curious about whether Off-White amounted to more than its cleverly developed graphic ideas and cool, youthful style. Whether the real deal or hype machine, the show represented a turning point for the brand, even if no one could predict what direction this might take. Previously, I had met Abloh during the lookbook photo shoots—a relatively chill setting where the activity flowed at a drawn-out cadence. Now, backstage before the show, the scene was more frenetic, but Abloh appeared unfazed as he adjusted a model's blousy shirt that buttoned up the back or fielded questions from his team. His wife, Shannon was there, as was their daughter, Grey, who was likely around three years old and wearing floral-printed mini Doc Martens boots. I wonder whether she has any memories of that day…

They got married onstage, in front of hundreds of strangers
Bonnie Yoder can tell you the exact date she won the ticket lottery to see 'Hamilton' for the first time, in the spring of 2016. Her stub is in a frame with a poster for the landmark musical, signed by the original cast, in her living room. Other signed-and-framed posters on that wall include 'Kinky Boots,' 'Mean Girls,' 'The Color Purple,' 'Hair' and 'Suffs.' Her Playbills are alphabetized in binders on a shelf in one corner.
