MOVES LIKE JAGGER. If there’s one thing we can learn from the news of Mick Jagger becoming a father at the age of 73 is that old age shouldn’t stop you from creating. And Coach, the American fashion brand that is only two years older than Jagger, did just that
Coach recently celebrated its 75th anniversary with a fashion show that was held at New York City’s Pier 94. Featuring both the men and women’s collections, the fashion show was a star-studded occasion through and through. While celebrity models, including Gabriel Day-Lewis and Winnie Harlow, walked down the runway, A-listers such as Drew Barrymore, Emma Roberts, Michael B. Jordan, Hopper Penn, Mark Ronson and Diplo occupied the front-row seats.

The collections are described as a blend of “a vision of American optimism and the cool attitude of the West Coast mixed up with the individualism of New York City.” Retro space-inspired graphics and, of course, Coach’s mascot Rexy the T-Rex are seen adorning some pieces.

Behind all the merriment, though, Creative Director Stuart Vevers had a quite serious (rather political too, maybe?) message he wanted to convey. “New York City, the spiritual home of Coach, is a cultural melting pot that embraces individuality and celebrates togetherness. It welcomes outsiders, like me, in a way that’s honest and un-contrived,” he commented. “Those values are more important today than ever as well as being relevant to our goal of making Coach the authentic, modern luxury alternative.”
