Kith’s first fashion show since 2019 was scheduled to take place outside, in front of its first-ever flagship store on Lafayette street at 6:30 p.m. At precisely that same time one of those fantastical flash summer thunderstorms descended upon the city. When the show eventually got underway 45 minutes later, after Kith-branded clear umbrellas had been handed out, the rain had stopped, and Carmelo Anthony had taken his front-row seat—it was obvious the mood in the crowd had not dulled. And as the first models stepped on the astro-turf runway repping the various New York teams which Kith is involved with—the Knicks, the Yankees, the Giants—it occurred to me that the rain was actually somehow perfect: This is what summers in New York City are like. “We recently remodeled the Soho store, and I didn’t want the moment to pass, I wanted to celebrate what an institution that space has become in the city,” Ronnie Fieg explained a few days before the show took place. It’s also why although in recent seasons Fieg had been taking Kith collections into more adventurous territory—“boho-streetwear” was a recent descriptor used—this season felt like a return to classic Kith. Co-ed models looked cool in luxe double-faced herringbone sweatsuits, baseball jerseys in cozy chenille, and logo’d bomber jackets were joined by a motocross theme, complete with flame-emblazoned tracksuits that felt exactly right for the moment.
