Day two of NYFW: The Shows 2020 kicked off with New York-based brand Blancore who showcased their new Autumn/Winter collection at Spring Studios on Friday (February 7).
The “Lost Elf” collection was created to abstractly represent the waste humans leave behind by creating live versions of the toys we used when we were young, and I was widely impressed with the designer’s choice to use the show as a platform to raise awareness on sustainability.
The models were all made to be life-like dolls dressed in pastels, accessorized with elf-like hats and pointy shoes. The shapes and structure of the collection were extremely innovative. Unique jackets were laid over long skirts reminiscing further on the “Lost Elf” theme.

The show closed with the models returning to the runway, forming two lines as a blue light filled the room and a child’s voice began to sing. The song was one about elves bringing us full circle, back to the initial message of the collection.
