At Rachel Comey’s dinner-slash-fashion-show last night at the Soho restaurant La Mercerie, the writer, model and Olympian Casey Legler stood up to address a crowd that included Debbie Harry, Cindy Sherman, Zadie Smith, Ryan McGinley, and Molly Ringwald.
The eclectic dinner party format isn’t new for Comey. She held her first dinner/show hybrid at Pioneer Works in September 2013, an event that was notable not just because it lasted longer than the standard 15 minutes, but because it was in Brooklyn. This year, she and Legler built upon the concept, inviting women they admired to speak and perform in between each set of looks.
As they finished up a rendition of “You’re So Vain,” they shared the first of many ‘Rachel Comey origin stories’ of the evening. “When I went to London to get my degree in cocaine. I took a lot of Rachel’s clothes with me,” Bond deadpanned. “I don’t do cocaine anymore, but I still wear Rachel’s clothes.”
Comey’s textural, idiosyncratic designs—woven fanny packs and sprays of tinsel-like fringe have made frequent appearances over the years—have occasionally been pigeonholed as only for “artistic” types. But the overall feeling yesterday evening was that the clothes she makes help people in various fields communicate and embody their own power.
