Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2017-2018 collection

Opening with a performance from Brooklyn-born star Nas, and staged in the landmark New York Public Library, the show is a personal love letter to the neighborhoods of New York. In a city where everyone is a stranger, where everyone is from somewhere else, neighborhoods are what make New York home. From the Bronx and Chelsea to Queens and the Upper East Side, neighborhoods help shape characters and create an identity.

There is no distinction between streetwear and couture: an embroidered evening suit is worn with a bomber jacket; an intarsia mink coat paired with a hoodie.

Metallic floor-length coats and studded snakeskin jackets give outerwear the protective quality of urban armor.
