Hunter Schafer wore a sleeveless, studded lime-green hoodie from New York label Nihl’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection at the Wired World Fair in Miami. The one-off upcycled look paired the hoodie with a crystal-decorated skirt made from a repurposed dress; details about its construction and availability have not been reported.
The hoodie’s **lime-green fabric** was embellished with gemstone studs arranged in flower-like patterns in **blue, black, gold, purple and red**. The decorations ran from the hood to the hem, while magenta beads added detail around the waist. Schafer wore the hood up, keeping the garment’s unusual shape and surface embellishment central to the outfit.
The matching skirt was **repurposed from a pink-and-white striped dress** and decorated with blue and purple crystals in a splatter-like pattern. It fell just below the knee and had a raw, ripped hem. Stylist **Dara Allen** finished the look with white pointed-toe heels, a simpler accessory against the heavily embellished two-piece ensemble.
The outfit came from Nihl’s **Spring/Summer 2027 collection**, according to Harper’s Bazaar. The source describes it as one of a kind and upcycled; it does not provide a price, say whether the pieces will be offered for sale, or give further details about the materials used in the embellishments.
A Hoodie Reworked for the Spotlight
The look places an everyday garment—the **hoodie**—in a fashion setting usually associated with formalwear, but its construction and embellishment make it unlike a standard casual sweatshirt. The outfit’s significance lies in the specific reworking: an upcycled hoodie and dress were altered into a coordinated, hand-detailed look, rather than simply styled as off-the-rack basics.
For Nihl, Schafer’s appearance offers visibility for a label whose work plays with **gender-fluid design** and the boundaries between functional clothing and couture-like detail. A single celebrity look does not establish broader commercial demand or a lasting shift in red-carpet fashion. It does, however, show how a distinctive runway piece can reach an audience beyond the collection presentation, particularly when worn during a public-facing appearance.
The outfit may also interest readers following Schafer’s style and her upcoming screen work. The event connected her fashion appearance with promotion for **Blade Runner 2099**, while the specific garment drew attention to a designer-led approach to reuse and hand embellishment.

Nihl’s Reworked-Garment Approach
Nihl is a **New York City-based label** founded by designer **Neil Grotzinger**. Harper’s Bazaar reports that Grotzinger previously worked for fashion houses including Marc Jacobs, Prabal Gurung and Diane von Furstenberg, and was a semi-finalist for the 2018 LVMH Prize.
The report characterizes the label’s work as an effort to challenge conventional ideas of masculinity through **gender-fluid collections**. It also describes a recurring approach of transforming functional, familiar garments with hand craftsmanship and unexpected details. The hoodie-and-skirt combination fits that approach: both pieces were based on existing garment forms, then altered with embellishment, reconstruction and contrasting finishes.
The article identifies the pieces as part of the **Spring/Summer 2027 collection**, but does not provide a collection launch date or say whether the collection has been shown publicly. It also does not identify the exact date of Schafer’s Wired World Fair appearance.
Availability and Construction Details
The source report does not specify the **event date**, how the garments were sourced or altered, or whether “one of a kind” means the pieces are unique prototypes or will remain unavailable to customers. No price, retail release information, or designer statement about the outfit is included. The report also does not say whether the crystals and studs are new materials or recovered components.
The report presents the event as an appearance connected to promotion for *Blade Runner 2099*. It does not provide further information about the series’ release schedule or Schafer’s other promotional plans. Those details should not be inferred from the outfit alone.
Further Details on Nihl’s Collection
The next confirmed information readers may look for is whether Nihl shares more about the **Spring/Summer 2027 collection**, including its presentation, materials and availability. The source report does not announce a retail launch or identify any forthcoming event for the label.
For Schafer, the appearance forms part of promotion for *Blade Runner 2099*, but the source provides no date for the series or schedule for additional promotional events. Any updates on the show or the outfit’s possible availability would need to come from the production, Schafer’s representatives or Nihl.
