Susan Alexandra turned to Broadway for inspiration this NYFW 🎶
The line of people for Susan Alexandra's Fall 2020 New York Fashion Week show reached down the block from its Public Arts venue in SoHo on Saturday. The crowd, boasting colorful ensembles and equally vibrant beaded handbags , is no surprise: Alexandra's fashion week experiences are a breath of fresh air in a multi-day streak of runway shows, presentations, and overall sameness.
"When I started showing at Fashion Week, I never wanted to do something where it's just beautiful models walking down a runway, smiling blankly into the abyss," Alexandra tells NYLON."I wanted it to be something really interactive and exciting. I wanted to put on a show. I wanted to create an environment. I've been living in New York for about 11 years, and I feel like Fashion Week, the energy around it, is so exclusive, and I used to feel so much anxiety.
The Susan Alexandra musical follows Aisha Kerensa, who plays Susan as she struggles with fear and doubt while following her dreams to start her own business."The theme is loosely based on my career," says Alexandra."It's about a girl, a sort of Wizard of Oz theme. Her dream is to own a store in SoHo, and she is clawing her way through just to exist in New York, which we all know is very difficult.
