In a pre-show chat, Alectra Rothschild of Masculina promised a “banger” of a cast. She delivered on that and then some. The whole show—which featured a live set by DJ g2g and high-jinks including imaginary cat-fights—was probably history making. It’s quite likely that Rothschild is the first openly trans woman to show at Copenhagen Fashion Week, which she did through the support of the New Talent program. The designer is also participating in Ganni’s “Future, Talent, Fabrics” exhibition, and the look Rothschild created for that project walked the runway.
Britney Spears, who inspired the video for Rothschild’s previous collection, also had a role in this one, having inspired an ensemble consisting of a black corset, chaps, and artfully distressed jeans. The designer’s reference was specific, the years “2001 to 2004…that era of Britney where she wore very low-rise, slashed denim pants with a really nice boot cut.” It was quite a swashbuckling look, which is consistent with Rothschild’s aesthetic. “I mean, there’s always pirates involved with me.”
