TWP, the Cult Downtown Classics Brand, Shows for the First Time at N.Y.F.W.

Regardless of the minutiae, something did: around a week before their scheduled slot, TWP’s press representatives emailed the editors, celebrities, and brand supporters who had all been invited. Their once open-ended presentation was now a runway show with a 2pm start time.

So 30 models in 30 looks walked amid the courtyard at Fouquet’s, as celebrities like Annabelle Dexter-Jones and Ruby Aldridge looked on. There were clear trench coats and chocolate brown cowl-neck dresses. A heather gray hoodie was styled with a translucent khaki midi skirt, and an ivory crewneck got paired with a shimmering sequin skirt. With the exception of a few pieces in lilac, nearly everything came in a neutral color. Intrigue came through textures: paillettes, suedes, leathers, sparkles. (“Sparkles,” Westcoat Pound once told Vogue, “dresses up anything.”)

Westcoat Pound, with the help of casting directors Ignacio Murillo and Morgan Senesi, selected an age diverse group of models: “To have people in their 50s and 60s and people in their 20s, it was just kind of magical,” she said. It also reflected her customer base: TWP, which has brick-and-mortar stores in SoHo and Sag Harbor, aims to focus on clothes with sensibility rather than trending styles.

“I think the whole show hopefully spoke to the versatility of the clothes, the versatility in age, and the versatility in the way that you can wear them,” said Westcoat Pound.
