"But I can’t wait in line, I’m not wearing pants!” one girl says to the bouncer on North 6th Street on the sidewalk outside Music Hall of Williamsburg. I look over, and she’s not lying— her legs are bare in a tiny miniskirt beneath a black puffer jacket and some chunky platform boots, which appears to be the uniform of this evening. Just as the bouncer opens his mouth to say something I can only imagine will amount to “Your wardrobe choices don’t preclude you from waiting in the line,” someone else does it for him: A faceless voice calls out, “None of us are wearing pants! Back of the line.”

Welcome to the Heaven by Marc Jacobs postNYFW party, featuring special guests Deftones. Marc Jacobs, of course, was a major player of ’90s and ’00s fashion, known for intersecting grunge and preppy aesthetics as a pioneer of streetwear. In his early career, he designed a 1992 grunge collection for Perry Ellis that was never produced, and when he sent his commercially appropriated striped T-shirts and silk plaid button-ups to Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, they later declared in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily: “We burned it. We were punkers—we didn’t like that kind of thing.”
