NYFW this year was plagued by some of the sweatiest and most putrid weather in recent memory. Coming off of a week that finally gave us a peek into the much needed respite of fall, I'm sure Grace Liggins aka Handsomegirly wasn't thrilled to keep hearing us reference the bliss of the previous week. Nonetheless, she and I had an opportunity to catch up sheltered from the trickling rain under a shallow awning on Lafayette St. in Soho to hear about the trajectory of her brand, and the excitement of getting flown out to NYFW to celebrate the launch of her Starry x Handsomegirly lemon lime collaboration.
Grace, who has been producing an array of hats, earmuffs, necklaces and more under the Handsomegirly moniker for the past few years, has found much of her inspiration from nostalgia and many of the things she cherished as a child. Below, embark on Grace's NYFW journey with her through a series of pictures capturing the week.
