In Earnest By Byron Lars Spring 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
Collectibility was the organizing principle of Byron Lars’s spring show, presented in Ginny’s Supper Club at the Red Rooster in Harlem. It was the Barbie trend, Lars explained, that set off this line of thinking. Few people in New York are more qualified than Lars to speak on the subject of Miss Plastic Fantastic: Mattel asked Lars to create a single Black collector’s Barbie in 1996; the project was so successful that he created one a year through 2011.
If there was any carryover from Lars’s collaboration with Mattel to his latest In Earnest collection, it had to do with the idea of getting dolled up; almost everything that went down the runway had a bead or some sparkle. Muchness was the message, and it was often achieved by layering. Having looked back at his Barbies, Lars noted that “there were so many pedestrian things mixed with aspirational aspects; beads and utilitarianism and all that stuff kind of compiled together.
If there was little forward motion here, there was a sense of community. Some of Lars’s designs were styled with illustrated and hand-appliquéd T-shirts by his long-time business partner Sheila Gray that she said speak to one’s “inner doll.” Hats by Lisa McFadden Millinery added another layer to the story.
