With a newly launched capsule collection and her first solo show in New York, Austyn Weiner is having a moment in fashion—and beyond.
wear a full look from their debut collection—but Weiner, who counts the model as a close friend, is more interested in expression than exposure. “I’ve always been seduced by the idea of concealing and revealing parts of oneself, and that notion is practiced in both fashion and painting,” she shared pre-show. “The canvas is a fabric, with the same qualities of movement and drama. The history of the textile plays into one’s work, whether you are cognizant of it or not.
The “dark summer” theme served as an aesthetic starting point, but Weiner wanted to make sure the clothes were practical, too. Open about the body image issues she faced in her youth, she sought to create pieces that reflected a woman’s body, rather than a sample size. “Every silhouette from the capsule was constructed using my own figure,” she says.
Weiner carries the same ethos into her personal style. The artist’s uniform has long been a fashion talking point, with the wardrobes of everyone from Frida Kahlo to Georgia O’Keefe analyzed in depth. Weiner chalks the interest up to the “juxtaposition between the creator and what is being created” and the time-honored tradition of uniforms. “Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Karl Lagerfeld, and Steve Jobs were all artists in uniform,” she says.
