country via the Red Cross International Fund for immediate critical relief

assistance.
Cody Ross of Priestess NYC
Don't let the monochrome distressed leather, non-linear shapes and
day-glow iridescence fool you: The Dallas-born, NYC-based designer Cody
Ross might seem blindly enveloped in eighties-era motifs; nonetheless, he
is an avant-garde swashbuckler with a penchant for punk rock, wild
geometry and directional unisex designs. It's a predilection well suited
to his artistic yet often outré couture. Ross' asymmetrical jackets,
elongated compression dresses, quirky silk prints (of sperm, weaponry,
piranha and blowfish!) and effulgent outerwear and accessories have been
seen on eye-catching notables Natalie Portman, Tyra and Gaga, to name a
few; and the designer's cool fan base gobbles up his stuff with a
cult-like zeal.
The line’s aesthetic can be thought of as a blend of transgression, kitsch
and street-style. Part ‘80s revival, part futurism with a smattering of
goth-glam, Priestess NYC encapsulates urban-girl cool with a modern take
on punk couture. Think vintage Westwood meets Martin Margiela with a some
Jeremy Scott thrown in. Price points are reasonable—from US$150-$650—and
can be found in NYC at Destination, Sucre, EVA and Hotoveli. Outside NYC
see Em & Co. (LA) SHINE (Tokyo), Ad hoc (China), Ambush (Singapore), UK
Style (Russia), etc.
