Sergio Hudson presents a celebration of the 90s at NYFW

new york – Sergio Hudson evokes nostalgia from the early 90s with his recent collection of shoulder pads, neon colors and graffiti prints.

Hudson, who has dressed the likes of Beyoncé and Michelle Obama, took inspiration from artist Jason Naylor’s colorful, borderline psychedelic murals for New York Fashion Week in a celebration of energy.

Models went for a hit in a Naylor graffiti print multi-colored mini skirt with hairdos by Fran Drescher.

Hudson told The Associated Press that Naylor added his vision to Hudson’s brand iconography and incorporated the two of their styles into the collection with graffiti lettering on white T-shirts and sequined designs. In addition to the amazing colors Naylor uses for his art, Hudson said the artist’s murals hold a deep meaning to him.

Hudson said he ran into Naylor’s wall when he was living in Los Angeles when his business was going through a rough patch.

“He did this great inspirational painting across the street,” Hudson said.

While integrating Naylor’s funky colors and lettering into the scene, Hudson paid homage to another artist. After the Met Gala unveiled its theme in honor of the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, Hudson said he wanted to add his own interpretation of Lagerfeld’s ’90s Chanel brand by putting a playful twist on the look.

Hudson brought his youthful flair to his red carpet look with models decked out in sheer dresses. Keeping up with the times, Hudson brought out a look that has caused some recent buzz in the fashion community – no pants. A model is seen wearing a cropped woolen jacket that looks like black high-waisted undies.

Celebrities in the audience included “The View” co-host Sunny Leone, journalist Joey Reed, and model and Baby Fat founder Kimora Lee Simmons, who walked her daughter Aki Lee Simmons down the runway.

This season, Hudson says he’s not designing for a specific person in mind, but for everyone.

“I’m proud of the steps the American fashion industry has taken to become more inclusive,” he said. “They’ve made a quantum leap in the last year or two.”
