Rio Uribe is closing the book on his 10-year-old brand at NYFW. But the GS legacy — flying your freak flag on your back and riding for your community through your clothes — lives on.
Since its inception over a decade ago, the brand has steered the conversation about clothes with unmatched inventiveness by continuing to experiment with any given guardrails.At the time, Uribe was making hats, vests and T-shirts inside his apartment. Creating from his own hands felt important, he says, and he couldn’t break into design in his current position. When he quit Balenciaga, his friends said he was crazy.
Gypsy Sport’s new collection, debuting at New York Fashion Week, will be self-referential — commemorating the last 10 years by making new pieces that take inspiration from Gypsy Sport’s past designs. Gypsy SportSince early on, Rio Uribe’s clothes have been infused with a delightfully chaotic DIY spirit. Over time, the vision has also sharpened. Gypsy Sport SS ’16 Basketball Tank.
These were the kinds of moments, Uribe says, “that just make you feel like OK, no matter what, no matter how rich or poor, healthy or sick, ready or not, this is what I’m supposed to be doing. The universe is aligning for me to do these crazy things. But also, having a community and showcasing them in my work is what really also helps to make it happen.” In 2013, Gypsy Sport entered the VFILES Runway competition and won, presenting its first completed collection.
Uribe didn’t go to fashion school but was a dedicated student, learning the language of fashion on his own. Which is how, during one of Gypsy Sport’s early fashion shows in Washington Square Park, he was able to spot iconic fashion editor and writer Lynn Yaeger walking home . He invited her to the show, an idea he remembers her calling “outlandish” — to throw a fashion show in one of the busiest parks in the city during fashion week — but she attended anyway.
Early on, the clothes were infused with a delightfully chaotic DIY spirit. They were sustainable both out of principle but also necessity. During his guerilla-style spring 2018 ready-to-wear show at the Place de la République in Paris, models charged down the square in jeans worn as a minidress, a workshirt that was a collage of cut-up button-downs, sports memorabilia being treated like high art.
