On Monday afternoon, Coach made its grand return to the Park Avenue Armory, a historic brick building located at 643 Park Avenue in Manhattan, New York, built in the Gothic Revival style in 1880. With a live soundtrack paying homage to David Lynch, Stuart Vevers presented a resolutely New York collection, inspired by the 90s with the style of inner-city youth.
‘I was clearly inspired by my early experiences in New York,’ he said before the show, adding that Larry Clark’s films had fuelled his mood board. ‘There was a raw authenticity to that New York. Everything seemed to be exactly what it was, without artifice, with an almost accidental beauty.’
