At the sidewalk runway show on Ludlow Street for cumgirl8's latest collection

Photos by Stacie Joy

Every band has its own merch. Members of the stylish local band cumgirl8 up the ante with their own clothing line. 

And the trio — Veronika Vilim (below, middle), Chase Noelle and Lida Fox — recently debuted cumgirl8's second collection in a sidewalk runway show outside Café Forgot on Ludlow Street. (The band's friend, designer Carson Lovett, was also part of the creative team.)

This Vogue recap-interview from the other day has more on the show and inspiration behind it, which the outlet described as "a real New York moment that created a bridge between Y2K and today."
EVG contributor Stacie Joy was there and shared these scenes from the runway and of the crowd...
... and on hand along the runway ...
As for music, cumgirl8 — whose influences range from the Slits to Saint Etienne to diplo — just released "I Wanna Be," the first single off the forthcoming (Oct. 22 release) EP titled RIPcumgirl8. Find cumgirl8's music here.

The band is playing as part of the season finale at the Rockaway Beach Surf Club on Friday night.

    The Slits? Nobody can come close to the Slits who of course were not about "branding and merchandise" just great music.

    Where's Stefan when you really need him?

    "The hottest thing rolling thru the EVGee-I-Wish-I-Lived-There broadsheet this week was Stacie Joy's perfect-pic-platter about the Art EXPLOSION at cumgirl8's sidewalk fashion- flash...... etc."

    sigh

    Incredible creativity! After looking at all the photos I feel so uncool now.

    It's self expression and trashy and freaky and fun (which have my seal of approval) but, Art ? I think not.

    I lived that history no need to "read it".
    Did you buy "Cut" when it was released in 1979 as I did?
