This weekend at New York Fashion Week, Monaco scene regular Philipp Plein birthed his Spring/Summer 2018 collection (Men’s and Women’s collectively) in signature Plein fashion, with an over-the-top runway spectacle and party.
Burlesque artist and fashion icon Dita Von Teese splashed around in a crystal martini glass, rapper Future performed, Nicki Minaj sat front row and later performed at the after party. With a stellar and diverse casting featuring supermodels and Victoria’s Secret angels Adriana Lima and Irina Shayk, hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, Instagram discovered model Matthew Noszka and singer Teyana Taylor, the German designer wrote us a dark twisted fairytale.
With “Good Gone Bad” as a theme, Philipp Plein’s recurrent graphic on T-shirts, T-dresses and crop tops was a BDSM gagged and bound cartoon princess embellished with sequins and crystals in usual Plein fashion.
Playing further into the bondage theme, there were lattice leather strap cage skirts and dresses in black and white with daisy appliqués over top gothically romantic gowns and brocade ballroom skirts. Plein staples such as embellished jeans, spiked heels and sneakers, anoraks and moto jackets got the “Good Gone Bad” treatment with embroidered and crystal embellished woodland creatures surrounded by phrases such as “Baby Light My Fire”.

The Plein logo and leather daisy chokers brought the looks together along with some standout accessories such as a black leather S&M bear backpack, a daisy pacifier, girly frilled socks that played well in contrast to the danger do not touch factor of the spiked pumps, and oversized satin bows sashes as belts.
For men, Plein stuck with his classics and updated a few. Mixed in with the 5-figure alligator motorcycle jacket, distressed and/or embellished jeans were two stand out looks, a bomber jacket that closely resembled a thermal blanket was paired with metallic silver waxed jeans and white high top sneakers giving the impression of a very fashion forward astronaut, while the other look a metallic silver waxed denim jacket paired with similar jeans and Chelsea boots gave the vibe of a punk space cowboy.
While many either not familiar with Philipp Plein or not a fan of him will dismiss this collection as being way too risqué and off the mark for them, for sure his millions of clients and fans worldwide will love this collection because one thing Philipp Plein does not do is compromise his vision, something that has gotten him exactly where he is today, with a global empire.
Philipp Plein’s store is at Centre Commercial Le Metropole, 17 Avenue des Spelugues.

Jean Castellini, Minister of Finance and Economy, Rémy Rolland, Administrator of the Domains, and Albert Croesi, Head of Mission to the Minister of State in Operation Apolline, have detailed continuing financial support for residents of Jardins d’Apolline who have been displaced in order for major remedial work to be undertaken on their apartments.
The government had previously announced measures, which would remain in force in June, July and August offering rents and charges.
At a press conference on Thursday, August 3, the three officials said that from September 1, residents will pay 50 percent of their original rent, while HCC holders will receive 50 percent compensation on the amount of the rent they would have paid had they been tenants.
During the course of the work, the State will propose a solution adapted to each household. For the duration of temporary rehousing, rent and charges will not be paid whether for the apartment at the Jardins d'Apolline or the temporary accommodation. The apartments will be returned to tenants and owners as they are on the original plan.
The opportunity is being given to each tenant to choose temporary accommodation solutions, such as a second home, accommodation with relatives, or rental in adjoining communes. A flat monthly allowance will then be allocated according to the accommodation occupied at the Jardins d'Apolline: from €1,500 for two rooms up to €3,500 for four rooms.
In all cases, the costs of moving and storing furniture will be entirely the responsibility of the State.
