Captain Kirk, at the brink of his midlife crisis, hired a younger, sexier yeoman to shake up the Empire. Shrouded in sculpted shoulders, mod silhouettes, and angular necklines, she’s secretly positioned herself to take over the starship.
Designer Geoffrey Mac indulged his crowd in futuristic-60s appeal with beehive hairstyles and swinging hemlines. Ultramodern contours and intense contrasts could be spotted from space, yet were objects of fantasy for decades. And on Sunday afternoon at Exit Art, Geoffrey was “…a dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars.”

When I was 10, I performed a competitive dance routine to “Groove is in the Heart” by Deee-lite. I wore a electric blue unitard with bell-bottoms in an assaultingly bright geometric pattern. Thirteen years later, I find myself flipping through a lookbook for Geoffrey Mac, the costume-turned-RTW designer who’s collaborated with the likes of Lady Miss Kier herself, as well as Scissor Sisters and Gaga.
With powerful palettes and ultramodern stylings, my nylon/spandex blend circa-1998 could not compete with Mac’s debut collection of bold fabric combinations and eclectic sensations.
But it sure as hell tried.
