Slogans such as “I Heart NY,” “Youth Project” and “Out of This Nightmare” were spotted across chunky knitwear, sashes and belts cut from duct tape. “Thank You” and “Have A Nice Day,” a nod to the city’s Chinatown service workers, were spotted on an assortment of tees, alongside a more random injection of words including “Blow” and “Forest” laterally with choker-like pearl necklaces were fastened around models’ necks.
