Flying Solo hosts
its spring fashion
show while
braving the cold
Naa-Adei Laura Marmon design & the pit of photographers.
BY TEQUILA MINSKY
What’s Fashion Week without its
runway shows?
With a lot of adaptation,
neither the pandemic or cold weather put
brakes on the annual fashion exhibition
sponsored by Flying Solo, the fashion
designer shop in SoHo.
On a spacious outdoor deck, an “L”
shape runway paralleled Broadway and
Howard Streets seven fl oors below—here,
the site of Flying Solo’s spring clothing
exhibition, last Saturday.
Attendees’ temperatures were taken at
street level before entrance when they could
whiskey up on cocktails on a second fl oor
terrace before braving the brisk 30-degree
one-hour outdoor shows, of which there
were six.
Boutique owners and buyers received
gift bags with masks, socks —Happy Sox,
and lip balm and settled on socially distanced
plastic cubes.
Bundled up photographers crammed
together at the far end of the runway to capture
the shows, each featuring 10 clothing
designers and a slew of accessory creators.
Against the grey sky, the downtown skyline
served as an awesome backdrop with
a hovering drone occasionally capturing
the scene. Kudos to models, some barely
clothed, who never shivered during the very

brisk afternoon.
A selection of conceptual, smart, outrageous,
naughty, inconceivable, some
wildly impractical and others fashionably
utilitarian with matching masks graced the
runway.
Inventory control manager Jacqueline
Lunkes explained that the designer showcase
store started fi ve years, fi rst on Mulberry,
then to West Broadway. “We give physical
space to designers who don’t have a showroom,”
says Lunkes, who handled logistics
for the Fashion Week event. “Flying Solo is
a great space to put a designer on a map.”
The Soho store and web presence offers
independent designers exposure, under
a three-month contract. Bi-monthly collections
in the store change. Cosmetics,
jewelry, shoes, and handbags are also part
of the store’s DNA. The runway shows
featured guest designers along with Flying
Solo’s current and alumni designers.
Located in Soho between Spring and
Prince, the store’s name logo appears as
a foreign language. In fact, they are letters
upside down—with added foreign vowels
and accents; they spell Flying Solo. A space
at 382 West Broadway is Flying Solo’s
showroom, closed for the season. And in
accordance and observance with the City
and State guidelines, 420 West Broadway
has been open when possible throughout
the pandemic.
