Michael Bastian's first collection for Gant debuted at a most unusual venue--St. Anthony's Memorial Gym on Thompson street. The designer turned the locker room into a haven for his models, who were dressed as lacrosse players. One particular mannequin earned plenty of raves for wearing nothing but a towel. "I feel like lacrosse is one of those underappreciated sports," Bastian explained. "I wanted to give it a little shout-out!"
