May 9 Showing Your True Colors: Our Favorite Attendee Looks at MODA Nouveau

Showing Your True Colors: Best Dressed at 2022 MODA Nouveau

Like many of the attendees of Friday’s MODA Nouveau, we started our night FaceTiming each other in our respective dorm rooms which were littered with black leather jackets, belts, and blue mascara tubes, asking for opinions on what to wear to the show. Without any guidance or dress code, dressing for the fashion show felt like a raw exhibition of what your style was. No one could be too formal and as the guy wearing a literal trash bag proved, no one could be too casual (but let’s just say we didn’t ask for a picture of his outfit). It goes without saying that when you attend a fashion show there is some added pressure to look particularly good, but what “good” means varies significantly from person to person as was demonstrated by the outfits we saw on the sidelines of the runway. To different people, it can mean a trendy low-waisted pair of jeans with smudged eyeliner or an all-red jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and a matching bold lip. We saw a huge variety of styles, personalities, and colors at the show, and here are some of our favorites.
