Arriving at an aesthetically pleasing hotel in SoHo mid-afternoon to meet content creator Jenee Naylor was a unique modus operandi. As New York Fashion Week had just kicked into full swing Naylor was anticipating attending Sergio Hudson’s presentation. The influencer is no novice when it comes to showing up for designers she has in her wardrobe. Once I arrived we immediately began chatting about what she expected to see, and the level of excitement she had for the show which took place at Neue House Madison Square. “His shows remind me of ’90s supermodels, he brings the pomp and circumstance in a fun way, it’s such a vibe,” Naylor expressed. “His clothes aren’t fussy. He always does silks and flowy fabrics, I think we’re going to see more of that because of the boho [trend],” she added.
For NYFW which is notoriously known for its street style peacocking Naylor says she typically leans heavily into pieces by the house whose show she’s attending. When I asked her what drives her in terms of getting ready she expressed that she is someone who loves to be on theme. She adds that she also typically intertwines a house’s clothing with her personal style. Comfortability is another significant guiding light she leans on too.
How did the look for Sergio’s show come together? When she stopped by the brand’s showroom recently the content creator said she immediately gravitated towards a belted trench coat in cheetah print. “It was the first thing I saw when I walked in,” she explained. The fully lined outerwear piece is created with a slick velvet material and was crafted to be worn with a nearly identical slip dress. Styled with a pair of Fendi Delfina boots and a pair of polished sunglasses, the look came across as easy to piece together. However, Jenee tells me none of her outfits are effortless. Instead, she explains that each of them are filled with intention and intricately planned.
As for advice she would share to anyone looking to experiment or switch up their personal style, Naylor hones in on how enjoying the journey is highly important. Playing around and testing out clothes inside of your home are additional tips she offers. “Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Your style is always evolving,” she adds.
