333: PFW Day 3 / Boom boom

Plus Miu Miu-effect shoes, schoolyard brands, and a suiting look.

Mar 06, 2025

Introducing Magasin’s pop-up Fashion Week newsletter-within-a-newsletter, where we’ll be covering shoppable observations from scenes of interest daily: Paris Fashion Week, Day 3.

Weather report

49ºF / 9º C — no coat, baby! No shirt either!!

Itinerary

11a Frama x Zoi spa experience — I didn’t get to try the extensive medical testing offered at the center (it would have taken hours, in a good way), but if anyone wants to host me at their luxury health facilities, I’ll seriously consider pivoting the entire focus of this newsletter. I can see why people fall into the deep end of this kind of thing, it’s incredibly satisfying to know as much as you can about your body on all scales. Frama, who provides the cosmetics (lotion, fragrance, etc), is such a natural partner to Zoi from an aesthetic and perfectionism standpoint.

1:30p Ralph Lauren fitting

3p Nomia showroom

6:30p LVMH Prize cocktail — saw some old faves (Nicklas Skovgaard, Alainpaul, mfpen) and met some new ones. Soshiutsuki, a Japanese suiting brand, was serving platonically idealized Boom Boom aesthetic. Strong magnetic reaction stirred from within.

7:30 Savette x Le Bon Marche x Neptune Papers dinner at Le Duc

Noticed a lot of button embellishing in the crowds at the LVMH prize cocktail—a girl with a button-y top, another button belt. I loved Ariella Starkman’s button-blessed Comme Des Garçons coat (actually belonging to Paloma Elsesser). A group of us mused on buttons as a skill, and Brandon Tan correctly pointed to Emily Dawn Long as a good buttoner—her own FW collection, which I wore during NYFW, features ceramic ones made in collaboration with the furniture designer Bennet Schlesinger.
I sat next to Puss Puss Magazine fashion director Yana McKillop at the Savette dinner last night, a Siberian currently residing in Dublin. She introduced me to The Landskein, an Irish brand she worked with for a time, the kind that rarely makes it beyond the bounds of its own community but whose quality often surpasses those with the “luxury” moniker, and at very fair prices. Its coats, which employ traditional artisan tweeds, fall around the $1,000 mark.

Nomia’s FW25 lookbook was great, for the clothes themselves but also for the styling (done by Pascal Mihr), featuring designer Yara Flinn’s vintage Helmut Lang heels and cutoff tights that lend a Miu Miu effect.
Traipsing around the city has meant coinciding with school let-out hours. Eastpak and Carhartt seem to be the hot brands for the kids. Both labels were prominently branded and worn proudly crunchy-new.
Not that you asked, but my skin has been so good here, and I have to credit that to a facial I had at Stalle Studios last week. Elizabeth used a really gentle laser genesis and everything has been eerily bouncy and hydrated where it’s usually so parched. I’ve also been painting on this Orveda mask as a moisturizer, and the factors combined has meant my CC cream has gone on so smooth and I’m not tight at the end of the day.
