'(29 Sep 2019) THOM BROWN MIXES ROCK \'N\' ROLL, PUNK ROCK AND MARIE ANTOINETTE FOR HIS SPRING SUMMER 2020 SHOWING Cardi B created a stir by sitting front row (and wearing geek eyeglasses) at designer Thom Browne\'s Spring/Summer 2020 show Sunday morning, held at the Beaux Arts Academy in Paris. The rapper wore an astonishing dress by Browne to the Met Gala back in May. The show itself was a punk-meets-Marie Antoinette extravaganza, typically fanciful and over-the-top. The set was dressed in seersucker flowers and a seersucker version of the famous Manneken Pis fountain, along with model-like statues wearing elevated dophin-shaped shoes. As Browne explained after the show, \"It was taking that 18th-century reference of the pannier and the robe a la Polonaise and mixing it into my world, and taking that serious reference and adding a little bit of rock \'n\' roll, punk rock to it, to make it feel like it was from today.\" The collection mashed together trompe l\'oeil, taffeta seersucker and madras plaids as organza tweeds. Volumes were impressive–big panniers, a flower corset, skirts worn halfway down the bottom, stuffed dolphins as decorative elements at the hips, and sky-high Antoinette hairdos. There were seahorse backpacks and even a baby carriage, pushed along to the \"Teletubbies\" theme music. \"I thought it would be funny,\" Browne later explained. But it wasn\'t just for show—many of Browne\'s elements, such as the beautifully tailored jackets, are wearable in everyday life.
