Next week, the fall shopping spreadsheet goes live (you still have time to take the survey here). And then, basically immediately after that, it’s Fashion Week. Where did summer go.

J.CrewRollneck, but cropped. The new version of the classic shrinks in at the waist with a great vertical ribbed knit detail, though the quarter-zip leans a hair too trend conscious, in Maya’s opinion. (She also would like to note that Emma Chamberlain’s campaign has herabout to cop the Mazie blue color.)Maria McManushas exceeded the mark with her FW26 collectionwhich, now on e-comm, we see is also well-priced for the materials.
