Lots of wild photos at the link. Why Hillary Clinton is mixed in, I don't know... other than it's what tipped me into clicking. Chu and Clinton were not at the same party. Chu was at the Thierry Mugler party, and Clinton — who posed snuggling up to Nancy Pelosi — was at the National Portrait Gallery party. Hillary's got on a very roomy caftan. As for Chu's "lenticular" fabric, you don't really need to know. His quote stands on its own. Just a silly quote that's even sillier with Hillary on the same page.
"Lenticular" means "Having the form of a lens or of a lentil." Duckweed and red blood cells are lenticular. Is a toilet seat lenticular? Maybe he meant the toilet lid. Who knows? Who needs to know?
IN THE COMMENTS: Rabel says (correctly, I think):
I believe Mr. Chu may have been misquoted.
The "silhouette" refers to the stick figure characters. They are modeled on bathroom/toilet door male/female indicators, not toilet seats.
The lenticular fabric is, as noted above, a reflective material which reveals multiple images when viewed from different angles.
If you look closely at the photo you'll see that many of the figures are blurred as they are in mid-change when the photo was snapped.
Mr. Chu should demand a correction. This is important!
I read Chu's statement as absurd, but with Rabel's interpretation, it makes perfect sense. A detail of the photo at the Times:

I like lenticular clouds.
That's about it.
Man. They all look like idiots. Except Venus Williams. She looked cool.
Elite leftists going to parties.
Barf.
Clown convention.
The arrival of the Barbarians can't be too far in the future.
It's funny how gay activists manage, with no discomfort, to accuse people of homophobia for claiming that gays cruise public rest rooms, and to valorize the experience of cruising public rest rooms. Or feminists who angrily denounce the notion that women's sports are rife with lesbians, and also talk about the importance of sports to the lesbian community. Haters gonna hate . . . .

Hillary Clinton is metamorphising into a couch. Maybe a sofa. Not a love seat.
“Who knows? Who needs to know?”
The love that dare not STFU…
I was more interested in "queer semiotics". Had to look it up.
BLUE HANDKERCHIEF
Handkerchiefs signify behavioral tendencies through both color and placement. A blue handkerchief placed in the right hip pocket serves notice that the wearer desires to play the passive role during sexual intercourse. Conversely, a blue handkerchief placed in the left hip pocket indicates that the wearer will assume the active or traditional male role during sexual contact...
RED HANDKERCHIEF
Red handkerchiefs are used as signifiers for behavior that is often regarded as deviant or abnormal. A red handkerchief located in the right hip pocket implies that the wearer takes the passive role in anal/hand insertion. A red handkerchief placed in the left hip pocket suggests that the wearer plays the active role in anal/hand insertion...
Don't want to mess up the signifiers. It could be a failure to communicate.

Dude! You won't get that big Kmart contract talking about toilet seats and sex in men's rooms.
Target may still be a possibility, though.
Hillary will never be president
Strikes as capturing (and advertising) a "Let them eat cake" moment.
Lenticular covers are a recurring fad in comic books. They're the kind where the image moves as you wiggle the paper back and forth.
Calling it ovular fabric would be transgressive.
Yes, lenticular clouds, a sailplane pilot's wet dream.
A cooked lentil becomes pea mush. I wouldn't want to wear anything that reminded someone of a lentil.
These people are freaks. Give me the Carhart crowd any day.

The "Pulse" of the nation, where unrequited love is harshly resolved. Hell hath no fury like the feminine gendered, female-aligned/shared who is judged, labeled, and excluded with impure coloration, a deplorable alien to the community.
A lenticular fabric is a lattice-like arrangement of lens-shaped materials formed into a thin layer.[1] When the surface of the fabric is smooth, it often has a reflective and light-distorting appearance.
It has nothing to do with the shape of the outfit.

That would make her perfect for one of DR.Jill Biden's upholstery dresses.

If ever you wanted an example of how the elite and wannabe elite class in this country live in a very different and separate world from the masses of the rank and file Americans, this headline, this article, and this 'news' organization presenting it to you would be Example #1.
It could be used to show the chasm between the 'ruling' class and the masses of populations around the Western Civilized world.
This is garbage time. These people make up causes, make up virtue, make up morals, make up pronouns, genders, and secular religions. And The Times is at the forefront of promoting all of it.
Keep subscribing.
We are doomed.
very roomy caftan
is That what they're calling Muumuus now?
Local big box store restroom,( Whitefront, ) had a crude hole punched through metal partition seperating mens toilet stalls. As a child, wondered how it got there, and why there always seemed to be someone in the other stall.

It's kind of nice.
Gay men are nasty. There is a reason mother nature and functional societies despise them.
That's the difference between men and women. At least some the women still look good. All the men look dumb.
All but two or three outfits were hideous.
New York
If you can make it there you can make it anywhere.
So Hillary worw a tent without poles. How appropriate. Toad in a tent!
I believe that at at least one point I wore a toilet seat and lid to a party. But I did not wear brownface. I did not measure it’s lenticularity.
Krumhorn,
Those with Gerstmann syndrome could find themselves in a world of (undesired) hurt.
Perhaps lenticular refers to certain droplets on toilet seats.
The East Coast press trying to make Hillary!! relevant.
Clinton — who posed snuggling up to Nancy Pelosi
Way to gross out your readers, Althouse.
The outfit does look a bit like it's made of squares of TP--but that's not normally the type in public restrooms.
At this particular moment in time, by virtue of a mental process that I do not fully understand, I feel some how, some way, spongeworthy.
Hillary's dress sounds like "Our New Couch Potato line." The fashion kings supply the large upholstery-type caftan; the Queen of the Dems supplies the potato figure. Then the Queen of the Dems goes about the room, being reflected in lenticular material shaped into oval forms reminiscent of upscale toilet lids reminiscent of good times in New York, says the New York Times. Can Our Betters get more ridiculous? I have every faith in them. Yes, they can. For example, they could have a party where the men wore dresses to help the trans cause and Fetterman came in a roomy caftan.

Hmm, no masking. Lots of cuddling. And an outfit literally designed to encourage transmission of Monkeypox.
I bet the hired help had to wear masks.

We live daily in a viral pandemic not limited to coronaviruses. You can never remove your mask. Think of teacher!
