Chip & Pepper

Day Three’s CIMM show marked a departure for the Week. It was a major showcase of the Chabanel Street crowd of more mainstream producers and licensees of fashion parallel to the big display at the big ‘O’ (Olympic Stadium). Tightly choreographed by Hans Koechling of The Image Is, Part 1 of the show focused on jeans and sports wear. Skotts2-S² junior contemporary brought out the funk, as did Schott N.Y.C. by Gary Skolnick, a fave of hip-hop artists and Madonna, along with BGN & Co., Ginger and Chip & Pepper.
