The second installment of Target’s new “The Shops at Target” retail format, wherein the retailer taps “off-the-beaten-path” boutiques to create limited collections to sell in a shop-in-shop format, will hit stores pretty soon. We already told you what to expect, like collabs with a couple of our fave NYC boutiques Kirna Zabete and Odin, and now we finally have pictures!
Despite the fact that pretty much everyone is already like, totally over Lana Del Rey, the songstress continues to make appearances in some of our favorite fashion glossies. This time she’s in Vogue Italia, photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth and holding a cat. {Vogue Italia} Louise Grey x TopShop is officially happening. It’s launching August Read more →
Target held a press preview today for the second installment of The Shops at Target, and yet again the retail giant delivers affordable goods with serious street cred. For those of you not in the know yet, the concept is this: Target taps off-the-beaten-path, often high-end boutiques from around the country to collaborate on collections that are sold in a “shop within-a-store” feel. The “shops” have replaced our beloved Go Target designer collaborations–but there’s no reason to be sad about it.
Following the success of the first round which included collections from The Webster (Miami’s go-to for luxe shopping) and Cos Bar (Aspen’s premier beauty boutique), Target revealed a second round to hit stores September 9th. The biggest buzz surrounds Kirna Zabete, the Soho boutique that has helped foster the careers of heavy hitters like Rick Owens and Proenza thanks to savvy owners Sarah Easley and Beth Buccini.
Odin has become NYC’s one stop shop for cool, stylish-yet-masculine men’s clothing, accessories and grooming products from a well-edited mix of labels like Thom Browne, Phillip Lim, Burkman Bros and Comme des Garcons. Owners Eddy Chai and Paul Birardi have since grown Odin into a bit of a brand: there are now three Manhattan locations, Read more →
Fashion’s Night Out is two weeks from tomorrow! There is more going on than we can even wrap our heads around. Having trouble deciding where you want to go and who you want to see the most?
Well, if you’re interested in catching a peak of one of your favorite designers, here’s a roundup of where some of the biggest and the best will be on September 10. We’ve excluded most of the people we’ve already reported on. Also, it’s almost safe to say that if someone isn’t on this list, they will probably be at Barneys.
Michael Kors
Michael will be at his lifestyle store on Madison and 61st in New York City. He will be joined by TONY Award winner Idina Menzel, whom Michael will accompany on a selection of songs. Michael will also make an appearance nearby at Bloomingdale’s 59th street, where the “World of Michael” will be created to kick off a new Michael Kors handbag shop-in-shop.
Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy will be kicking off FNO and his brand’s 25th anniversary at Macy’s Herald Square. As we’ve reported, Macy’s will house “The Ultimate Tailgate Party” as inspired by Tommy’s most recent ad campaign. Tommy will be accompanied by Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren. He will also make an appearance at his Fifth Avenue store, where shoppers can have their purchases personalized with an exploding monogram while they shop, listen to DJ Toddlerone and drink up.
Just after lunch, I headed down the block to the Reece Hudson showroom to take a look at their fall collection. Reece Solomon and Max Stein launched the handbag line in 2009, and it’s been a hit ever since. They can’t seem to keep their bags on the shelves at both Castor & Pollux and Read more →
The only thing more daunting that Fashion Week is turning out to be Fashion’s Night Out. We’ve probably received fifteen to twenty emails per day since July telling us what’s up, who’s coming, where’s happening Thursday night and after much deliberation we’ve come up with a game plan. Given there are really only two of Read more →
Has everyone in fashion become obsessed with bunnies? First, Kidrobot had designers like Heatherette and Alexander McQueen put their touches on their Dunny, at center above, the bunny-like action figure. Then, Kym Canter at J. Mendel had everyone on the fashion planet pose with a stuffed model named Star Von Bunny, at right, ala the Read more →
