I just arrived in town yesterday and had to do running around and catching up since Fashion Week started on Friday. My day included stopping off a the tents to check in and get materials. It was the usual circus….fashion report at the tents, black dresses, everyone was in them including myself. Black was actually everywhere considering it was 80 degrees…hot for this northwesterner.
I checked in at one of my favorite LES stores, Peacock. Found a great little spot a couple doors down called Funky Lala. I loved everything in the store for myself and for clients…stand by for more on this little gem.
I did hit a show away from the tents. It was Jordache; Remember? “You’ve got the look, the Jordache look…”? I went out of pure curiosity and was happy to find that the designers have stuck true to their brand. I went with my sidekick elles and we determined the market for Jordache is young and for some who may be young at heart. I loved the purple leopard jeans and thought that would be great next summer with a simple over-sized white tee…yes, it screams the 80’s…but, it would be cute.
elles and I then cut out for some sushi at the famed Blue Ribbon Sushi before we braved the lines at the 360 after party hosted by Nigel Barker. It was a zoo and a super strange venue. While I love Bloomingdales, I had a hard time concentrating on Nigel’s editorial photo work as it hung next to the jean bar…around the corner from the Juicy Couture sweat pants…need I say more? We met some interesting cats however and my day overall is exactly why I love NYC. RL
