Kaimin AW18
Photography / Natalie Nieves

All eyes were on the merkin mohawk at designer Kaimin’s hair-raising spectacle that redefined ‘pussy power’. Punk rock platforms paraded the runway navigating models outfitted in conceptual metallic jackets with futuristic pointed shoulders. Private parts were covered with shaggy ebony wigs and under fishnet, gowns peaked barren décolletés where breasts were concealed with black tape. It was a risqué, rebellious garden of trimmed hedges and iridescent silhouettes that were pruned like billowing spaceships.
