September is a month when out of towners like to join in the New York Fashion Week festvities, eager locals happy to see the top names from Paris and Milan, and the chance to be a big fish in a small, or let’s say a new, pond make it an appealing opportunity. Last year, Alaia’s Pieter Mulier and Off-White’s Ib Kamara were both on the NYFW schedule. The McQueen show on September 9 this year is something different: It’s not a runway presentation, but the debut of an off-Broadway production of House of McQueen, a retelling of the late designer Lee Alexander McQueen’s life, written for the stage by Darrah Cloud, directed by Sam Helfrich, and executive produced by Rick Lazes, with Gary James McQueen, the designer’s nephew, acting as creative director.
