For their Spring/Summer 2014 "Coal Wasteland" presentation at Milk StudiosMADE Fashion Week last night, En Noir made the experience extra memorable by creating a "Fashion Theater" for viewers (which included Pusha T, Russell Westbrook, Miss Info, Angela Simmons, Carissa Rosario, and Carl Lentz). From the beginning dance performance by Lil Buck to the custom projection mapping by Nathaniel Brown and soundtrack by Stelios Phili, the show was a brilliant meeting of art, dance, and fashion.

We had a chat with En Noir's creative director Jason Wolter about the mountain installation by Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen of Snarkitecture, who are known for cool projects like the iPhone pillow, "Lift" for the New Museum Spring Gala, "Drift" for Design Miami/ 2012, and retail installations for Richard Chai. Read what Jason had to say about the stage design for one of SS '14's most popular, art-driven shows yet.

The day after the last show, I just couldn’t stop thinking about the next one and how we were going to top that. We did so well, and we had such a great show, but the pressure builds to do even better.
