Kith Menswear Autumn 2019

Backstage before Kith’s Fall 2019 show, founder Ronnie Fieg was keen to talk through the finer details of all 95 of his runway looks. But equal with discussing the waxed nylon puffers and the many collaborations within the show—Disney, Rhude, MISBHV, Adidas Terrex, Pendleton, Russell, and —Fieg was concerned about a model resting her feet one atop the other. Politely, he approached her to let her know that the suede New Balances were to be modeled with two feet flat on earth. “Those are like the most important shoes in the show,” he demurred afterward, which is saying something. The first 40 looks of the collection did not repeat a shoe once.
