Thank you everyone for the great feedback (and fallout—people will always hate to see women doing stuff) on High Touch. I can tell from the reactions that I’ve hit a lot of people’s funny bones and this is something worth talking about.
Last night I went to the premiere of “Love Story”, Ryan Murphy’s series about JFK Jr. and CBK, screened at Carnegie Hall. I can’t talk about it yet due to embargo, but I can say that I was among the loudest dressed in the writers pit up in the first three rows. I wore a red vintage Sonia Rykiel rabbit fur coat (sold—to me!—this has the energy though), a purple Tom Ford viscose knit dress, and spotty Manolo slingbacks. Most everyone else was in appropriately Calvin Klein-approved black and neutrals, or in some reasonable representation of the 20º it was outside.
The after party was held at The Pool, The Grill’s private events space in the Seagram building done up in the same Mies van der Rohe-Philip Johnson interiors, where the cast was experiencing a taste of the fame of the characters they just watched themselves portray. Sarah Pigeon wore Chanel, Naomi Watts wore Balenciaga and Cartier, and Paul Anthony Kelly was tall in real life! I don’t know what he wore.
I think the breakouts are probably going to be big when the show airs, not least due to the fashion impact it’ll have, and I wish them the best. I was chatting with another actor of their generation at the party when we were interrupted by a guy, probably drunk, who wanted to tell her how much he likes the show “Succession.” Not her role or performance in it, just to let her know that the show is good in his opinion! Being an actor seems like it would be a fairly annoying gig.

What’s new
Toteme’s SS26 is available via early access for members (signing up is free on their website), and it delivers the brand’s signature minimal full-wardrobe logic, with some necessary punctuation. Light jackets stand out, operating somewhere between a piece of outerwear and a dress (and would be really interesting style-wise to layer as such, a thought…); especially the detachable cape coat and washed cotton trench. Staples anchor the offering, like a technical satin camisole and a luxe $420 legging, but perhaps most importantly we have the debut of the roam tote, an oversized north-south unstructured leather carryall featured on the runway.
Runway pieces from Proenza Schouler’s SS26 collection, the first from creative director Rachel Scott, are trickling onto the site, many listed as pre-order with a delivery date of March 23. Early standouts include jacquard separates—an off-white floral skirt and matching jacket that feel archival yet newly energized—plus satin heeled thong sandals in pistachio that signal a fresh shoe direction.
On the runway, Prada’s SS26 was cinematic; on the website, its flat shots lean into Raf-coded workwear signals, with leather-trimmed canvas jackets and pants that recall logo-free Carhartt—filtered through Prada’s exacting finish. Disembodied from the runway, the pieces feel even more literal, art-like, even, like new nappa leather Peter Pan collar jackets north of $8,000 and a voluminous gabardine shift that recalls a twisted sister iteration of Mia Farrow.
SSSTEIN, the Auralee cousin brand that’s quickly advancing up the Paris Men’s Week relevance ranks, makes its Net-A-Porter debut (to be clear: the brand makes womenswear, too). The line is built on fundamentals and executed with the utmost intention from textiles developed in house. Brushed cashmeres, wool layers, and silk-blend flannel give oversized trousers and shirts a billowy ease.
Still Here introduces the Life jean, the NYC denim label’s latest cut and a natural evolution of its hit catalog. Think men’s rancher fit: mid-rise, straight-slim, and wonderfully unfussy. Available in white, a classic blue mid-wash, and dark indigo. Following the success of the Cool and Sport jeans, expectations are high and not misplaced. Also worth noting: the brand’s cotton basics (especially the sweatshirt) pair exceptionally well with all of the jeans.
Jamie Haller’s Spring collection builds on two of the brand’s core categories: off-the-body tailoring for clothing and traditional Italian construction applied to modern footwear. Highlights include the balloon pant and essential shirt, two billowing cotton-silk blend pieces that can be worn high or low waisted, buttoned or unbuttoned, together as a set or as separates…
COS PS26 is somewhere between Michael Kors-era Céline and Phoebe Philo’s Chloé, most apparent in blue-brown palettes and some western-style colorblock-leaning layers. As always, one anchoring investment piece defines the drop: a $999 shawl-collar suede bomber (this is the Western of it all). Cornflower blue emerges as the season’s key accent color, appearing across polos and merino wool knits, which, by the way: COS does pure merino wool now. Very cool.
Of all of the new arrivals in Tory Burch’s SS26 collection, this is the most theatrical: Tory Burch introduces the Romy Mary Jane, a shoe that feels like a cultural reset. For those raised on the Reva flat, this is a full-circle moment: whimsical, wearable, and logo-light, with branding tucked neatly into the foot strap button. (This is literally the shoe Eloise is wearing in her pink and white room on the 18th floor of The Plaza, kicking her feet and eating a little snack.) Elsewhere, from runway, this excellent contrast-tone trench, wool blazer, and slouchy leather hobo.
Donni’s February Edit arrives as a snapshot of founder Alyssa Lasko’s personal uniform. We’ve got some more variations of the eco-fleece wide-leg sweatpants including a white colorway (which, like, bold) and, yes, some housecoat-like flannels, and quilted jackets that work as both shell and liner. Comfortable, deliberate, meant to be lived in.
There’s also: Dorsey’s Hendry earring, a new single-stud shaped as a straight bar with a pear-cut moissanite; AMO collaborates with KYE on a three-piece set of burgundy lingerie basics; By Far’s Pony capsule, a trio of cheetah-printed pony hair accessories joining the growing animal lineup in the 2026 fashion stampede—zebra, tiger, cheetah, and still no giraffe; the e-drop of Stella McCartney SS26, where 96% conscious materials meet English-standard suiting; a new Saint Laurent bag called the Icarino, the baby sibling of the Icare family, delivering the same plush attitude in a scaled-down, highly covetable handbag form; a new collection from LIÉ Studio, designed to move seamlessly from daytime polish to evening slink without a full outfit-glam change; and Mansur Gavriel’s Color Block Capsule, a palette refresh that uses colors to stack familiar silhouettes as graphic statements.
Home releases
Nordic Knots joins Moda Operandi with an all-pre-order (though quick-shipping) home offering spanning flat-weave and shag rugs, runners, pillows, and sheet sets. Several Moda exclusives are included, notably a cotton percale sateen bedding set, with the duvet, fitted and flat sheets, and shams each sold separately. The assortment includes a lot of solid color and patterned rugs from the 8’ x 10’ grand wool in green to the flatware area rug in tobacco, making a strong case for planning a little interior change.
Kiko Kostadinov releases the RAMBERG blanket featuring painter Christina Ramberg’s 1974 painting Tight Hipped. Co-creative directors Laura and Deanna Fanning translated the artwork into a woven home object, extending the brand’s ongoing exploration of femininity into the domestic sphere. The gesture feels pointed: a fine-art reference reframed as a functional object tied to historical ideas of womanhood and homemaking.
What’s on sale
Saks Off Fifth is closing for good, and this blowout sale is endgame, folks. Inventory is going fast, and the best value in terms of quality and rarity appears in the fine jewelry category. Standouts include 14k white gold lab-grown diamond hoops at 50% off and a yellow gold diamond ring reduced to $852. In the fashion department, a Wolford bodysuit is going for 94% off (down to $13) and pieces from Thom Browne, Meryll Rogge, and Valentino trail closely after by percentage off. Rest in peace, Off Fifth. You will be missed!
Bergdorf’s designer sale is being positioned as fleeting, and the deals support the urgency. A Loewe blazer has dropped from $2,900 to $870, while Michael Kors Collection trousers are down to $387. The bolder the piece, the deeper the discount. Designers like Veronica Beard and Gabriela Hearst are also well represented.
Beaufille’s sale delivers lace, ruffles, and full Interview With a Vampire (1994) drag at 50–60% off. Standouts include the Irving skirt and Baes open-back dress. A key styling note: Beaufille skirts double beautifully as sarongs, worn over trousers or denim. The Imogen skirt layered atop a (we listen and we don’t judge!) skinny jean or pencil trouser feels especially right.
MyTheresa adds an extra 20–30% off select sale items on orders over $450. The edit rewards thoughtful pairings: a rose-gold Dries Van Noten metallic clutch plays well with a Jennifer Behr gold barrette shaped like a mussel, but it also favors a piece originally priced around $800–$900 retail, like these Chloé leather ballet flats that drop to $380 after discounts. Some strategic, satisfying reductions.
Electric Picks launches its Valentine’s sale tomorrow, offering 20% off sitewide with no code required. The edit leans into stackable jewelry, with highlights like the Melrose bracelet (and matching necklace) and Bentley earrings, which nod (knowingly?) to a pair of earrings Cher Horowitz wears in Clueless. For the commitment-averse, pre-selected bundles take the guesswork out and come discounted by default.
Through the end of February, use MAGASIN10 for 10% off your purchase at Margaret, the Los Angeles-based brand egging on the comeback of the opera coat (and glove, naturally). The vision leans theatrical without feeling bound to any one historical period or kitsch-subtype of camp, instead sitting right at that fashion inflection point between funny, smart, and just a little perverse: subversive? Added bonus: the opera glove is a natural deterrent for being on your phone.
There’s also: Shopbop’s ongoing sale-on-sale, offering an extra 30% off with code EXTRA30—best approached decisively, as sizes rarely linger; Medea’s winter sale, with up to 30% off applied at checkout, including some limited edition printed Shopping Bags; and Vespertine London’s winter sale, where hand-embellished vampy chiffon separates and eveningwear is sitting around 50% off.
Home sales
Rira offers 25% off any purchase of its aptly named Liquidishes at checkout exclusively to newsletter subscribers. The handmade resin dishes resemble droplets caught mid-motion, like a slowed-down cartoon wipe frame but rendered in glass. The larger sizes work perfectly for fruit bowls and catch-alls, while the mediums are great displays, ashtrays, or just art objects. Sign-up is required, and access is the reward.

I saw that coat walking around last night at the premiere. So good! Also loved the show.
Loved this issue.
