<p>In the heart of Chelsea, J.Crew f&ecirc;ted the spirit of NYFW by rolling out its Rollneck Remix project, which invited five emerging artists to completely reimagine the iconic sweater through their own creative identities: <span>BUCI NYC, Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta, Patrick Taylor, and Tanner Fletcher.</span></p>
<p><span>Guests, including Jemima Kirke and Chrissy Rutherford, arrived at a gallery space in which the connection between fashion history and contemporary design is explored, featuring music by Gilly Chan. Friends were gathered to celebrate the iconic history of J. Crew's Rollneck through a variety of displays and installations featuring each artist's take on the timeless piece. At the heart of the space, a horseshoe-shaped table anchored the room, adorned with unique tablescapes that captured each designer's aesthetic.&nbsp;</span></p>

All-things theatrical, thrilling, and thorough were present in the form of colorful sheer fabric, fringe, lace, and more. However, this was not to be overshadowed by dancers performing in front of guests like Candace Bushnell, Jacquelyn Jablonski, and Martha Hunt, just to name a few.</p>
