But it's 2021, so I popped on my mask and called an Uber. By the end of the night, had I actually been a '90s supermodel, I would have had my limo driver pick me up or at least hailed a cab. I wore the Clementine to a pop-up dining event followed by a rooftop party, gently lifting a small fistfull of the dress by the thigh whenever I moved (princess behavior if there ever was) to keep it off the floor. Boxy is not a word in this garment's vocabulary, but drama is: I'm 5'5" and the hem of the dress pooled ever so slightly around my feet in one-inch heels.īetween the brilliant fabric and fit choices, my confidence was astronomic. The bias drape allowed it to follow the lines of my body without being cinched too close on any one spot.

I typically wear between a US 2 and 4, so I went with the dress in a size S. While the fabric had fun with its sophisticated illusions, the dress' cut proved to be just as clever. The sheerness is kind of the point, so I was pleased when I finally saw myself in the mirror that its sheerness actually plays a great trick where it's seemingly see-through in bits - a flash of skin here, a fuzzy outline of a bra strap there - but impossible to actually see anything you don't want seen through the material. Out of the box, I was concerned whether it would be too sheer for me to muster the courage to leave the house. The short answer is just the cherub emoji followed by the heart eyes emoji followed by the sweating, overheating emoji.

Just shimmy into one of its sexy dresses and you're practically air kissing Karl Lagerfeld, champagne flute in one hand, ill-advised Capri cigarette in the other. The seductive clothes promise to transport the wearer back to 1995, at New York City's Tunnel Club, where Boy George is holding court and Donna Summer and Madonna hits fill the air. The line pays homage to the oft-worn styles of Schiffer's youth, including slip dresses, off-shoulder maxis, and slinky, bias-cut skirts, plus it includes a couple of cheeky tees featuring iconic images of the model herself from the decade. Realisation Par, the Australian label behind massively viral products including the original leopard print skirt with its own Instagram account, tapped Schiffer to co-design a 13-piece collection called SUPER REAL. Suffice to say Schiffer's partnership with Realisation Par in reviving the biggest trends of the time is a pretty big deal. Their fame and impact can't be overstated, the concept of supermodel invented to describe their untopped influence. Schiffer was one of the original five members of the "Supers," a group of fashion models that also included Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christiensen, and Christy Turlington.
