Shoppable observations

I asked Fidan Novruzova’s publicist, David Siwicki, what he thought the Maldovan and Azerbaijan ambassadors (Fidan’s combined heritage) in attendance at the designer’s presentation were wearing. They looked powerfully chic in closely tailored suits and smart leather bags, and while neither of us could say for sure, David threw out that what he wishes they’d wear is Valextra: “totally underrated.” He says he used to admire their corner at Barney’s and was awed by the quality.
A lot of people I talk to say if they could, they’d wear exclusively The Row. That’s my fashion strategist friend Gray Broderick’s reality. Last night, she wore, predictably, all The Row, except for a pair of Extreme Cashmere pants.
While waiting the long 12 minutes for my Uber between appointments, I stopped into the H+ Hannoh Wessel boutique in the 4eme and speed-bought a great pair of cotton pants. I’d visited the German, made-in-Italy brand’s store on Atlantic in Brooklyn before, but this was my first purchase, a complete boon to my travel wardrobe.
The Preclothed book launch was hosted at the vintage store’s new permanent space on the Left Bank, and I realized when I arrived that I’d been there over the summer when it was still a pop up. The shop was hosting one of my favorite vintage jewelry dealers, Studio Mantel, for a few days, and it only feels appropriate to share that Mantel, too, is now moving into a full-time location in London this October. (Both are shoppable online as well.)
New menswear brand flagged to me by my artist/architect friend David Cazso: Lowwn. He’s especially excited about the fabrics, and the prices strike me as very reasonable.
