G-Star’s energetic fashion show pulled out all the stops—and starts—at Gotham Hall on Thursday, with the use of a conveyor belt and detailed runway choreography. In stark contrast to the Romanesque columns and ornate decor of the venue, Pierre Morisset's black and white denim collection and matching backdrop made for a bold statement. The extensive buildout included multiple entrances for the models—two side staircases and a backlit stage—as well as stadium-style seating for the 600 guests (where memory foam padding added an unusual component to the benches).
Models standing still on a moving catwalk that shifted back and forth struck theatrical poses, while more models walked alongside them. With so many moving parts and unpredictable changes, the presentation was anything but stale (although this wasn't the first time conveyor belts have been used on runways—Y-3's shows had them last September and in February).The energetic show was topped off by G-Star’s music mix, which at one point played Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth," a popular choice that was met with applause.
