Emma Mulholland (Q3032)

Emma Mulhollanddoesn’t go halfsies on a theme. Her Resort 2017 showing took guests to outer space with a collection drawn from the misfits of Araki films and the Internet age. The astral notes were many: planetary platforms, sequin rocket ship embroideries, a print with flame-haired astronauts, and enough star sequins dotted under models’ eyes to populate a galaxy far, far away. It was a kitschy picture, for sure, but Mulholland made it work partially thanks to the cerulean-haired gals who live on planet Emma.But what for us normals? That sequin Bowie jumpsuit will be a stretch. Instead, we’ll reach for denim skirts with small patches, maybe a patterned sweatshirt, or a “Cosmic Dolphins” tee. The show closed with the Beastie Boys’s “Intergalactic”: “You stick around, I’ll make it worth your while,” declared Mike D. That’s a guarantee when you’re dealing with Mulholland.
