For FW21 at the NYFW, Christian Cowan released a video titled “A Fashion Thing” juxtaposing our realities to the fabulousness of fashion and bringing the two aspects closer. The short film features Paris Hilton, Saturday Night Live’s comedians Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman, model Hanne Gaby Odiele, and many more in a hilarious storyline trying to reestablish the boundaries between what’s “fashion” and what’s “normal.” Are sequins and Swarovski crystals cool for lounge time? I feel they are great!
With a youthful take on how modern-day women can dress, Christian Cowan uses his lively spirit and creative prowess in making his standout designs. With an affinity for unique materials such as vinyl, feathers, mesh, and sequin – Christian Cowan takes classic silhouettes and transforms them into something truly head-turning. Having graduated from Central Saint Martins and London College of Fashion in 2016, Christian garnered a strong celebrity following before having even left school. Lady Gaga was the first to support the young designer, stepping out in a full pink glitter suit in 2014. Since then, Christian has continued to outfit the world’s biggest stars such as Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, and Naomi Campbell. Most notably perhaps, is Cardi B in a full look on the cover of her debut album ‘Invasion of Privacy.’ Christian Cowan shows during New York Fashion Week and was a finalist for the 2018 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. Looking forward to more of his glamour in our new normal lives!
