Clockwise from top left: Aerobics goddess Cherie Lily, some leotarded fashion, Thrills designer John Renaud and, of course, Amanda Lepore.
Fashion Week (which stormed through NYC last week in a haze of heels, parties, models and wiglets) is an active week full of strenuous socializing — it’s sort of like an Olympics of air-kissing and open bars. But as far as we can tell, there was only really one show that chose to showcase the perfect apparel that can serve you well in just these pursuits…
Thrills Collection is a fab new line of togs that merges sporty aerobics/gym-wear and nightlife, which makes sense as one of the visionaries behind it is Cherie Lily, NYC’s own queen of clubby cardio. She teaches classes that merge voguing and dancing with classic aerobics, and for her new line she’s teamed up with designer John Renaud. And the result is Thrills!
We hit up their Spring 2012 show, soaked up the glittery atmosphere, chatted with the designers and other Thrills fans, including NYC’s rapper/performer Cazwell and the ubiquitous DJ Vito Fun. And yes, that is Amanda Lepore striding down the runway.
Start stretching… and watch!
