FLYING SOLO FW 19

DANIEL SILVERSTAIN / IZA BY SILVIA D'AVILA / PAULA TORRES

On February 9th 2019, Flying Solo welcomed over 600 guests at their fifth New York Fashion Week show at Pier 59 Studios. 

Transformation was the theme for this show as Flying Solo redefined the power of creativity, unity and inclusivity and set the stage to represent some of the best independent designers. 

Focusing on diversity, Flying Solo beautifully demonstrated the concept with over 200 looks by more than 50 designers.

I’ve been a huge fan of Flying Solo since their inception and have loved seeing them go from strength to strength. Now in their fifth show it’s always one of the highlights on my NYFW calendar as they present both womenswear and menswear as well as accessories from some of the most innovative and exciting designers. 

This show saw model/influencer Paulinha Sampaio headline as they showcased a wide and diverse range of models.

Founded by two designers themselves and in just over two and a half years since its opening, Flying Solo has proven to be one of the biggest fashion platforms and has launched the careers of many independent designers. 

Created as a unique, curated fashion retail incubator and showroom operated by a selection of talented, independent designers, Flying Solo is closing the gap between designers and consumers while exposing collections to press and media.

​Co-Founder, Elizabeth Solomeina, said:

We asked ourselves, ‘What if we collaborate instead of compete? What if we can create a successful brand that can change retail, and a model that can benefit designers?

The Harmonist Perfume partnered with Flying Solo to celebrate stories of beautiful transformations. It’s a partnership that brings together two visionary entities that both break through the conventions of fashion and fragrance to create something significant: a new meaning for what is truly beautiful.

​Social media platform Snapchat provided coverage for the entire show plus fittings sneak peaks to millions of viewers. A returning partnership with Ecru New York, Flying Solo’s fifth showcase is supported by a team of talented artists for hair and makeup. A reliable and trusted transportation service for the show is being provided by UPS in their second time partnership.
