EPPERSON

By Marcus G Blassingame

Legendary fashion designer and creative visionary Epperson captivated the fashion community with a spectacular show that left audiences in awe. Renowned for his sustainable, reconstructionist approach, Epperson favors rich, textured fabrics in dark hues, regardless of the season. His trademark bohemian flair, featuring loose-fitting jackets, versatile skirts, and layering techniques, has been evident since his time on Project Runway.

Sponsored by MAC Cosmetics—a notable achievement of beauty and art—Epperson’s FW 25 collection took place in a historic church in Chelsea, where models gracefully paraded down the aisles. The atmosphere, punctuated by stirring music, elevated emotions to extraordinary heights. Mid-show, Epperson surprised the audience by transforming the models’ outfits, showcasing the endless versatility of his designs. This clever interplay unfolded seamlessly, drawing the audience into the experience.

Epperson’s unique style is undeniably ahead of its time, poised to become mainstream as sustainable fashion gains momentum. The thunderous applause and standing ovation he received were akin to a Broadway curtain call, celebrating a truly remarkable fashion production.
