Magasin’s pop-up newsletter-within-a-newsletter, where we go on the ground to suss out hot shopping gossip from scenes of interest: New York Fashion Week, Day 4.
12p ** Conner Ives** show at
1p ** Emily Dawn Long** “The Crack of Dawn” premier — in her film, and in her orbit, is a deadly combination of pop culture’s most chache’d names (Meadow Walker) and rising talent with explosive potential (Sydney Lemmon) for whom a big commercial label would cash all the way out. In Emily’s case, they want a piece of
3p ** Tibi** show — brought us men in printed silk shorts. Who could resist that? -
7p ** Khaite** show — a friend of mine whose (young) daughter is a model and usually walks the show told me earlier in the day that it was a “sexy collection” so they were skipping this season with her. And it was sexy! In a more grown-up way compared to Conner, and not in the way editors talk about “fashion reclaiming sex” or whatever. Bras out, (tasteful) off-the-shelf racks, undone hook-and-eye closures, bed head. Mixed in with some unexpected
9p Emily Dawn Long party — Highsnobiety and EDL took over the Chinatown Family Fun Center arcade for some boozy, late-night fun and games. Dance Dance Revolution and Mario Kart were in high demand, as were the prizes (a teddy bear wearing a Spoiled Boys t-shirt, specifically) and the snacks from Mission Chinese Food down the street. - AV

After Tibi, which was held at the Starrett Lehigh Building on the west side, I had the same idea as a bunch of other guests, it turns out, in stopping into what I’ve heard of as “the best thrift store in New York.” It’s the
City Opera Thrift Shopwhere all of the New York City Opera costumes go to retire. It’s also a place to pick upmen’sArmanisuits, ‘90s leather pumps, and interiors objects that look like estate spoils from a Jacques Grange living room.I sat next to at a show (Substackers section), and she put me onto
, a brand she’s excited to buy for her LA store Early IRL. A lot of double-face satin shantung and some Chinoiserie, like we’re seeing more and more widely, plus some more dramatic options like chiffon gowns with hoods. She’s already a celebrity stylistYana Matkivskiget, diversifying the sexy-sophisticated wardrobes of Kaia, Anya, etc. The prices are not too bad at all.Worth stating that the only sunglasses I’m seeing this week are all manner of
and theThistlesPolo SportpairI’ve been wearing exclusively since I got them at the beginning of summer. Every color combo of the latter has a die hard wearer; there is a personality type associated with the yellow frame versus the tortoiseshell versus the all-black.The cig report from
Khaiteis that they’ve switched from the branded “Marlboro” boxes with real Marlboros inside to serving Capris on trays outside of the show (the branded mini Modelos stayed). I took a cig from their designated professional lighter to see if they had managed to sneak their logo onto the curve of the cigarette itself. Not yet, but I imagine we’re about a season or two away from seeing that happen.
Now that EDL’s short film has premiered, we’re confident saying that crack is
soback. While hers is the most crack-forward collection we’ve seen thus far this season, there have been hints of it throughout the week (a men’s look atEckhaus Latta, peeking out of low-slung skirts atKate Walz) and some prominent placements in FW26 editorial, includingandThe New Yorker. I’ve already had some hilarious conversations about what you can / should do if you have a “short” crack but want to participate in this particular style—at theDazedJ.Crewparty with producerAriella Starkmanand deep in the group chat with , for starters. Perhaps we can get some answers for you and report them out onHigh Touch…In a week of buzzy collaborations, I spotted my first pair of
CelineReeboksin the wild last night onNordstrom’s Men’s Fashion Director Jian Deleon (just days after we discussed how difficult it would be to acquireSupremexA.Presse—he ended up getting some himself after all), who dominated the DDR machine while wearing the sneakers. A great endorsement for the style’s comfort and sports performance.
