The inspiration, per a press release by Coach, was “American heritage through the lens of fluidity and circularity, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and pieces designed with multiple lives in mind.”
“With Spring, I wanted to evolve notions of luxury that place an emphasis on perfection,” said Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. “Inspired by the next generation’s fluid approach to fashion, the collection celebrates pieces that become more beautiful the more they are worn and loved, and references to the past rediscovered in the present. To tell this story on the runway, I imagined a Coach world inspired by New York City’s piers, a place with a unique cultural legacy, and a unique feeling of possibility. I was also thrilled to partner with [new Coach Global Ambassador] Lil Nas X on his first runway show as part of our presentation—he is the epitome of the next generation’s inspiring approach to self-expression.”
