Supposedly, this show is “a love letter to New York City and its famously fashionable residents.” Like… Superman?!?

Here’s the actual blah-blah:

“Fall was inspired by our belief that when you show up as you really are, you inspire others to do so, too,” said [Creative Director Stuart] Vevers. “The collection presents an authentic interpretation of the heritage and house codes that define Coach, redefined through the next generation’s concept of individuality and expression… To bring this to life on the runway, I envisioned an intimate gathering at the Armory that would not only celebrate freedom of self-expression, but the spirit of getting together and having fun that, to me, is the heart of fashion and of New York City.”

Superman famously didn’t show up as who he actually was, unless the city was in deep shit, but I guess… wearing his logo on a moth-eaten sweaterdress all the time might have been considered more direct? Well, at least some of the coats in here are good.
