Nearly five years since his last runway show, Telfar Clemens marks his return with an open casting call in NYC, setting the stage for a major fashion moment.
Telfar Clemens is making a comeback. After nearly five years away from the runway, his brand is set to stage a live show this June during Juneteenth weekend. The exact location remains under wraps, but the timing aligns with Paris Men’s Fashion Week, fueling speculation about an international stage.
The announcement came via a playful Instagram video, parodying America’s Next Top Model, inviting fans to an open casting call at the brand’s NYC flagship store. The response was immediate, with hopefuls lining up for a chance to walk in the upcoming show.
This return isn’t just about fashion. Juneteenth, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, holds deep significance. For Telfar, a brand rooted in inclusivity and community, the choice of date underscores its commitment to cultural resonance.
Founded in 2005, Telfar has consistently challenged fashion norms. Its unisex designs and the iconic Shopping Bag, often called the “Bushwick Birkin,” have become symbols of accessible luxury. The brand’s ethos, “Not for you, for everyone,” continues to redefine the fashion landscape.
For those unable to attend in person, the show will be livestreamed on TELFAR.TV, ensuring global access to this anticipated event.
