\n\tIt might be time to buy or renew the Prime Video subscription because Amazon has a documentary coming out later this year that delves into the business and lifestyle of Philipp Plein, fashion\u2019s most glamorous enigma. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cFinally, we can tell the story \u2014 the untold story \u2014 of Plein,\u201d the designer said from the rooftop garden of his Milan showroom, where makeup artists were adding glitter paint to the leopard spots on models\u2019 heads and an Amazon camera crew jostled with Plein\u2019s production staff as they assembled the runway lineup.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s shaping up to be a landmark year for the designer, entrepreneur and super-dad who plans to move his family from Europe to New York City this year. <\/p>\n
\n\tThe change was prompted partly by his girlfriend, who loves The Box on Chrystie Street, and because he loves New York. Plein\u2019s office looks out on Central Park, and the designer said he\u2019s planning a \u201cbig show\u201d there in September.<\/p>\n
\n\tBetween now and then, there\u2019s a lot going on. Plein is staging a mega, pre-Oscars show at his Los Angeles home, Chateau Falconview, in Bel Air, and said an actor will be cohosting the event.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn the spring he\u2019ll be upping his game during the Cannes Film Festival, swapping his annual party for another \u201chuge\u201d fashion show at his home there. He\u2019s recently bought and redecorated the neighboring property, and refers to it all as his compound.<\/p>\n
\n\tThat lavish, big-spender mood wafted through his fall 2026 collection.<\/p>\n
\n\tSergei Kosenko, the influencer known as Mr. Thank You, walked in the show carrying a fat wad of cash in one hand, and a black leather bag in the other, while another model in a sparkly evening gown carried a gold clutch with a dollar sign on the front. Plein referred to the latter as \u201cthe money bag.\u201d Understatement has never been Plein\u2019s thing.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe collection was full of grand gestures, including slim, floor-sweeping leopard print coats and shorter ones in silvery faux mink, worn with sky-high boots encrusted with tiny beads. A dark wool, hand-embroidered coat featured a glittering display of Saturn, stars and rockets, and \u201cPlein\u201d picked out in fancy script on the back. <\/p>\n
\n\tSilk evening gowns came with built-in gold jewelry, including necklaces and Plein\u2019s signature bejeweled \u201cpiercing\u201d detail at the front, while minidresses shimmered with handmade embroidery of tigers and other big cats.<\/p>\n
\n\tAlthough this show took place at his longtime Milan showrooms, it\u2019s clear that Plein\u2019s mind is already halfway across the Atlantic. He spoke fondly of the big snowstorm earlier this year, of watching people \u201cski\u201d to work, and of buying inflatable pool toys for his kids to play in the snow after all the sleighs sold out. <\/p>\n
\n\tHe even dressed one model for a night out in storm-hit New York City. She was wearing an olive sequin dress, matching army coat and black snow boots. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cShe\u2019s on her way to a party or to The Box. She\u2019s got her heels in her bag, and she\u2019s off to have fun,\u201d said the designer, whose determination to succeed, and have a good time doing it, is equally unstoppable. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
