At Tumblr’s headquarters yesterday afternoon M65 unveiled their SS18 collection. Designer Anthony Hendrickson showed the assembled media his bespoke denim, leather and fur creations. The materials and designs varied – swim shorts, hot shorts, chinchilla, leather fringe and tie-dye – but the mood all in all was very late ‘80s early ‘90s. “Colorful floral tops and tie-dye pants fearlessly meet patchwork furs and oversized denim jackets, each piece exuding a hazy nostalgia,” is how Hendrickson described it in his press release. There is a video-game like beauty and simplicity to the pallet – neon reds and yellows, lime greens.

Leather trucker jackets meet fox arm warmers in an explosive postmodern collection that seeks, at essence, to demolish the formality of fashion seasons altogether. M65 harkens, instead, to "a sense of fearlessness and a child-like state of mind, creation is not hindered by traditional boundaries."

Later in the evening, at the Library at the Public Theater, Tumblr had their 14th iteration of their NYFW Creator dinner. This is one of the great markers of the start of NYFW. Their NYFW program is Tumblr’s oldest community program. Marc Jacobs, Carine Roitfeld and Oscar de la Renta are among the tops designers who have served as mentors to Tumblr’s NYFW program. Among the guests were Elle.com Contributing Editor Faran Krencil, Valentine Uhovski of Tumblr, Saunak Shah, Alissa Greenberg, Jean Tazea, Valentine Uhovski, Andrias Dzeguze and Rose Wong.
