“I guess this is one of those situations where great word of mouth cuts both ways,” mused designer Eric Niccoli of Orthodox last night as he watched the crowd jostling to get inside the packed after-party for his men’s fashion week show. Cutting Niccoli’s way: His fête at Lower East Side club 205 was the must-do of the evening. Cutting the other way: The party, co-hosted by Oak, proved so popular that the open bar ran out an hour into the shindig, and downstairs, DFA DJs Jacques Renault and Justin Miller were contending with some moshpit-like conditions. Niccoli couldn’t have been more pleased—not least about the fact that so many of the revelers were women. No, it’s not like that: Orthodox’s hotly anticipated debut collection for girls hits stores next month, and if the scene at 205 last night is anything to go by, ladies eager to get their hands on Niccoli’s shrunken leather blazers and low-slung tapered trousers should heed the advice on the party’s invite: Show up early.
