532: PFW Days 5 + 6 / Finally, some shopping · Storyflo

Magasin’s pop-up newsletter-within-a-newsletter, where we go on the ground to suss out hot shopping gossip from scenes of interest: Paris Fashion Week, Days 5 + 6.

2p ** Jude** preview — gotta say, they’re beating out all the other new-gen shoe brands as far as desirable silhouettes and luxury fast-tracking goes; good celeb placements, admirable retailers (they’re at DSM), the prices are still reasonable but if they inched up I’d still pay them.

4p ** Ormaie** showroom visit — I always learn so much about making fragrance from my friend, founder Baptiste Bouygues, when I go in for a visit, this time about the vast range of musks both natural and synthetic. The brand launched three new scents that go back to the core of what they do, even paring back their signature architectural bottle to its essential octagonal shape. The new

6p ** Husbands** visit — I am getting a pair of made-to-measure pants, for which I picked out the cut (a flat-front straight leg) and fabric (a black herringbone medium-weight wool). I was in and out in 25 minutes because I like an efficient buying session, but you could really savor the personalized experience if you wanted. I’ll have my pants in about two months shipped to me in NYC. About $800 all in.

12p ** Jil Sander **store visit — went in hoping to find this one totally thought-interrupting

1p ** Prada** store visit — obligatory stop any time I am in the Detax zone, and I did well! Some killer

2p ** Celine** store visit — it was Michael Ryder ‘80s minimalism this, Michael Rider zany prep that all week, but when I went in to see the current collection, I was drawn to something very un-that-language: this crocheted floor-length dress. Somewhere in the $4k range. Was fun to see the breadth coming out of there right now, and to sashay around the top floor of the Montaigne flagship in this flippy number that bounced around my ankles and wrapped me like a Chinese finger trap. Also, I definitely get the appeal of these

3p ** Chanel** store visit — I got in pretty quickly without an appointment, and found the staff to be accommodating and polite (despite lots of shopper distress I’m hearing out of there). But then again I am not the Chanel customer, so I spared them and me the drama of trying to buy a bag that was there “for display purposes only” or whatever. The Polish SA who came over for seasonal support brought me an insane beaded skirt with a Hawaiian-print lining that struck me as

4p Dover Street Market — I crossed the city specifically to see ** Townwear** at DSM, which I was put onto by . I found it and put this great

8:30p ** Simkhai** dinner at

6397 Elbow V-Neck, $495 / Phoebe Philo Gray Jeans, $1,130 ~~$1,307~~ / The Row Marlo 12 Tote, $4,900 / Métier Aquilone Ball Charm, $390 / Toteme The Slim Knee-High Boots, $889 ~~$1,593~~ (low stock; similar from Aeyde, $995)

Today’s was mostly about the real-life shopping that took place, as opposed to the conceptual air of shopping that hangs around during the week. But, two things I’m holding onto from Paris now that I’m officially back home: 1.

works with a gem miner in the American West who opened up an entire turquoise mine especially for one collection from the brand, and 2.Jacques Marie Magedesigned his entire latest collection because he watchedThom BrowneA Bug’s Lifeon a plane. Cathedrals everywhere…When I ran into Ava Van Osdol on my way out of the Jude showroom and asked where I should shop, she and I had essentially the same list: Husbands,

, the Montaigne flagships, the evergreen recs ofRubirosa’sDriesandLemaire. She added: the newstore in Palais Royale, plusRick Owens Sabbia Rosa lingerieand the likewise lingerie-mindedKanelle Vintage.
