Fashion week drop-out
I hate gossip...well...only when it's about me, and even then I secretly love it because of the extra attention. Seriously though, rumors may be fun, but the truth is often times juicier than fiction. That's why, when I heard that Kevan Hall had dropped out of showing at Smashbox Studios exactly one week before he was scheduled to display his latest collection in the main tent at its prime time, suspicion became me like Angela Lansbury in an episode of Murder She Wrote. Did a wanton, Tanya Harding-like designer take a proverbial lead pipe to the shin of Kevan's Nancy Kerrigan-like show? My mind was racing with the scandalous possibilities. I put on my cutest Nancy Drew ensemble and got to work.
I've used some pretty fantastic excuses in my life to avoid doing a lot of things I didn't want to, everything from dead grandmas to emergency appendectomies, so I consider myself an expert in the "fauxscuses" department. It turns out, the reason he's not showing isn't as exciting as I expected it to be. Even worse, it sounds like the truth. "We recently moved into a larger atelier, which we're in the middle of renovating. Logistically, it's just not feasible. It's just a matter of bad timing," says Kevan Hall's Associate Design Director Bernard Talbert. In his place, the Elmer Ave. collective will show their line of rock star caliber blazers for what my sources tell me is "practically pennies." I guess I'll have to wait until next season to experience the wonder that is Kevan Hall. In the meantime, I'm left with a new mystery to solve; what exactly is the refund policy on a show at Smashbox Studios?
