The duo revealed toPage Sixthat they are putting on their own fashion show for up-and-coming designer Shao Yang.
“This is fun, but it’s not a joke,” Cutrone told Page Six this week. “It’s a serious project to get some attention for talented designers.”
She explained to the outlet that the project’s ultimate goal was to help young designers — who she claimed normally spend over $100,000 to put on a show — make a splash at New York Fashion Week as competition continues to increase season after season.

Delvey, who is currentlyon house arrestin her New York City apartment, told Page Six that she’s planning the guest list and choreographing the models for the show.
“I’m so very excited to launch our new little venture, the Outlaw Agency, during this upcoming NY Fashion Week,” Delvey told the outlet. “No one is safe!”
The fake hairess previously credited the formerAmerica’s Next Top Modeljudge as one of the inspirations behind her move to New York during herappearance on theCall Her Daddypodcastand discussed working with her on the new project.
As for Yang, a graduate of the Fashion Design program at Parsons andfounder and designer of The Tailory New York, she told the outlet that she was onboard with Cutrone and Delvey’s ideas to present her first collection.
“As a young brand, we need to think outside the box,” she said.
Yang’s fashion show is slated for Sept. 11, and Cutrone and Delvey told the outlet that it would take place in the vicinity of Delvey’s apartment building. This would likely be due to Delvey’s house arrest.
