Fashion Update: Watch Coach’s Skate Themed Runway Show
The cultural appropriation that we’ve come to know and love from New York Fashion Week is on full display in Coach’s Spring ’22 show. We’re not sure what handbags have to do with skating. But if you want to create a proper street scene, four wheels and baggy pants are a mandatory accessory. A Ty Evans directorial credit, and RB‘s VX1000 work, lend some much-needed street cred to this production. And what up with the Boo Johnson cameo? That’s just random. We’ve cued up the appropriate timestamp above.

Watch ‘TUANY’ Skate Video Featuring Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas
Watch Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas as they shred in the streets of South America.
The video was filmed during three months of backpacking from Mexico to Costa Rica, crossing Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
Making it even more impressive (and a reason needs to come calling), “TUANY” was entirely filmed, edited, and animated using an iPhone with Theo and Sebastien doing the editing themselves (and some of the filming too).
