Designer update

cody ross, the invisible man? unlikely

May 27, 2008  2:40 pm

Most new designers covet a little ubiquity, but Priestess NYC’s Cody Ross cops to a markedly different fantasy: staying out of sight—temporarily, at least. “You know the invisible ring—the ‘Myth of Gyges’? Well, with the ring, Gyges could sneak into the castle and everything was accessible. So, given the choice, I might be invisible for a day in New York and just cruise around. Then it’s back to work.” Given the buzz surrounding the label, Ross—even with Platonic superpowers—isn’t likely to fly below the radar any time soon. Having recently been picked up by Lane Crawford and Colette, his two-seasons-old line, notable for its vividly hued, finely textured sweaters, dresses, and tops, is gaining a fast following among sartorially savvy girls like Juliette Lewis and Maggie Rizer. Though Ross admits to having a thing for decades past (and the Day-Glo colors associated with them), he sees the coming months in a slightly different hue. “There’s lots of momentum at the moment. I’d say the future looks rosy.”
