The designer — never one to hold back — packed his runway with kitschy patterns and Disney logos for this high-energy outing that also included his first full women’s wear collection.
The theme was a magic carpet airplane rammed with glamorous passengers — frequent fliers who think nothing of donning tangerine sequins or Cookie Monster blue fur for a long-haul flight.
Men wore shiny black plastic trousers paired with aprons adorned with fabric flames; structured, hooded tops and jilabas bearing the face of Aladdin’s monkey, sometimes with his naughty red tongue sticking out.
There were long tunics, too, as well as tops bearing the face of the film’s genie, many of them done in lightweight, spongy fabrics and all made for lounging.
Big, fuzzy fur coats were delightfully cartoonish, and came in colors like fire-engine red and bright blue, while male and female models alike carried giant black leather backpacks in Abley’s signature teddy bear shape.

After showing bits and pieces of women’s wear on his men’s runway in the past, Abley sent out his first full women’s line. It had the same Disney palette, with lots of silk dresses that shone in bright purple or were jazzed up with the genie pattern, while the tangerine sequined gown was a standout.
