We'll admit it: We never expected to see Salt-n-Pepa guest-host a downtown fashion presentation. But there they were celebrating Social Atelier's new collection (and probably hoping to generate buzz for for their reality show). Known for melding fashion with political and social statements, designers Andrei Najjar and Ya’el Afriat have made Social Atelier's style all about being outpoken and in your face. Last night's show at Caravan was no exception. Models sported T-shirts that spoke out against domestic violence amd female body issues, and urged people to challenge authority. Considering this, perhaps it's not that surprising that the divas who pioneered talking about sex were here to toast this brazen label.
