On February 11, New York Fashion Week officially began at Bryant Park under the early morning snow. At 3 PM, Ports 1961, a brand known for its commitment to natural and ecological values, unveiled its Fall/Winter 2010 "Work?" collection. The show was designed by sisters Fiona and Tia Cibani, who are renowned for their innovative use of technology in fashion. Their designs integrated eco-friendly concepts, sparking a trend toward "organic fashion" and a "low-carbon earth" movement within the industry.
The event featured a unique touch—guests received ceramic pots with rosemary seeds, a gesture that not only highlighted the brand’s green vision but also encouraged personal engagement with nature. This idea aimed to bring joy and excitement through self-planting, blending natural beauty with luxury. In a city still recovering from heavy snowfall, the message was clear: reflect on the damage caused by over-exploitation of resources and embrace a greener future.
Models walked out with soft, natural makeup against a dark mechanical backdrop, creating a striking contrast. Bold hairstyles paired with round leather "flying caps" added a fresh, modern edge to the collection. The overall look was both structured and fluid, evoking the image of elves in a post-industrial world. The designers skillfully reinterpreted Victorian-era techniques, merging tradition with innovation to create a harmonious blend of old and new.
The collection featured structured jackets, evening wear designed with ergonomic principles, and feminine corsets that symbolized heritage while looking toward the future. Dark purples, rosemary greens, indigos, and chicory tones were used alongside more neutral shades like soot, creating a dynamic color palette. Gelatinized sage and ginger hues ran throughout, adding a sense of playfulness and wonder. Glazed porcelain accessories and jewelry brought an organic texture, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Chinese supermodel Liu Wen returned for her second appearance with Ports 1961, and she was presented with a pot of rosemary by designer Tia Cibani. Tia explained that the scent of rosemary represents memory and emotion, and by planting a small green space, the brand aims to foster a sustainable and balanced relationship between technology and nature. This vision of coexistence is what the brand continues to pursue, offering a hopeful outlook for the future of fashion.
