Can I say something? With everyone saying Knicks in 5 this week, I thought they meant a game was starting in five minutes. I’d assumed there were games happening like every few hours.
My Knicks night (I eventually figured it out), was spent within a small patch of lower Manhattan—starting at my friend Gray’s studio next to Balthazar where Olga Basha and Cafe Forgot were presenting a series of jeans damaged in enzyme wash and then reconstructed to highlight the silk-thread effect.
I wore Emily Dawn Long to accompany EDL to a CFDA cocktail event, for which she’s a finalist this year. The (next season) backless mohair top and spoon belt are why she’s going to win. Pants are Colleen Allen, a previous nominee. Heeled thongs are Aeyde, which I wear as often as my wedding ring. Bag is Alaïa obviously??
Swung by Rickie De Sole’s Air Mail party at Temple Bar and Carson Griffith’s Rich People Shit party at The Manner (good crowds), where a TV had been rolled in. I caught the tail end of the game from a taxi, whose radio had a lag and so I was refreshing the Google score box constantly to keep my driver updated. Arrived home right at buzzer. Knicks in 5.

What’s new
We’ve got some more from St. Agni FW26, and it’s quite the transitional collection. There are classically pretty dresses that can be reframed depending on mood, like this recycled nylon halter and layerable statement tops like this backless wool cowl number (which would look great underneath this mélange cardigan). There are ample styling opportunities from detail-oriented accessories like the fringe belt skirt or woven tote, too.
It’s a t-shirt! It’s a short-sleeve sweater! It’s a T-Knit from &Daughter! These merge the casual simplicity of a tee with everything refined from a knit. From afar, the T-knits look like mega-washed t-shirts, but upon closer inspection, the weight of the hand-linked knits comes through in their seamlessness. If the price didn’t suggest as much already (the short sleeve is $500 and the long $525), these are luxe.
It’s actually not easy to look like you woke up like this, and every t-shirt-and-skirt combo in Toteme’s newest PF26 delivery is proof. The collection also includes a horizontal-striped tee that I (Maya) thought was relegated to the unfortunate twee archives. I stand corrected: In look 26, a black-and-white, French-girl jersey long sleeve, styled effortlessly with a flaxen hemp beach pareo, suede t-bar sandals, and tortoise aviator shield sunglasses (the latter pieces are still pre-order only).
You can now shop Dries Van Noten’s AW26 collection via private pre-access link, from the embroidered cocoon tops to the sunset-orange velvet wedge pumps. Most interesting in this preview selection are the printed pieces, inspired by the marbled techniques present in Millefiori glass paperweights (see: the halterneck viscose dress). There is plenty of what DVN does best here, like tailored wide-leg pants and merino sweaters.
The hand-carved collection by JH Editions is now live, and it’s a veritable feast of hand-hewn jewelry. Designed by Jess Hannah Révész in her Los Angeles studio, the pieces take inspiration from the singularity of antiques, incorporating reclaimed stones like the brown diamonds in this 14k gold shoulder ring. Some pieces are exclusive to DSM LA, while others, like this sapphire baguette signet, are available for purchase directly from the JH site.
There’s also: New arrivals from Phoebe Philo’s Collection E now on MyTheresa (including her chunky flip flops); Jude and Nour Hammour both very quietly just launched bags; the mini soft Gear bag joining the tool bag-like silhouette family over at Lemaire; an asymmetric-check heavy second drop from CO Collection PF26; the new Fin y Principio collection from Après Ski, spanning hand-dyed painter jackets and sun-motif earrings; the latest installment in Still Here’s Colors basics dressing system, a two-button Henley t-shirt; and new SS26 arrivals from fashion’s Sporty Spice Martine Rose (the half-stretch football top is here just in time for the World Cup).
Home releases
Meet Michael Bargo’s rug collection for Beni, an array of floor textiles that are equal parts tiled Roman bath (the Niko) and freaky Y2K beach towel (the Jameson). These pieces are sheared very low to expose the knot, giving a more flush-to-floor profile, helping them stand out on any surface. You can see them in action at The Row location in Amagansett, a space Bargo himself curated.
There’s also: A limited-edition sustainable travel capsule from Monos and Reformation (finally, someone made packing cubes cute); a soccer-centric cabinet of vintage curiosities spanning fashion, home décor, collectibles, and more available at 1stDibs; and the City Stories candle collection at Byredo (we’re partial to the New York edition).
What’s on sale
It’s the first-ever flash sale for Eckhaus Latta’s OG bag, The Snap. Twenty-five percent off with SNAP25 at check out, color-specific to the bone, olive-hued green, and sky-like “forget” colorways. Girl math: with 25% off the bag, you can throw in the matching wallet for roughly the same price as the full-priced bag, after taxes.
A few pulls from COS’ up-to 50% off sale happening right now: A work-appropriate dress that won’t double as a sweat rag during the summer commute, like the 40% off v-neck wrapped midi, or 50% off asymmetric jersey midi dress. Pima-cotton “tuxedo” shirt more meant for jeans / over swimsuits. Also: A suspiciously Row-like real suede bowling bag that’s down to $88.
Toteme’s already solid sale section has gotten somehow even more so, with pieces up to 60% off (eyes on the wide fluid trousers in ecru, down to $256 from $640). Limited sizes are available the bigger the discount, like the cocoon tank dress in terracotta (50% off), but there are also archive-level pieces from seasons ago if you really dig, like this oversized checked jacket.
Cawley Studio is having a sale across its ready-to-ship items, and it will make you want to wear 100% Japanese cotton all summer long. The evidence: a washed typewriter cotton hooded shirt 30% off at $561, and a relaxed striped linen trouser, down to $312 from $480 (that’s about 35% off).
Posse’s end of season sale is back—with most discounts sitting around 40% off and an additional 20% off at checkout—but this isn’t the same affordable, DTC vacation brand we wrote about in years past, having graduated to a new tier with Net-A-Porter credibility. New Posse preserves its high end feel despite the discount, when you can scoop up a pair of knit shorts for $120 or a premium cotton-silk blend mini dress for $112 after that extra 20%.
There’s also: 25% off sitewide at Aussie label Saint, a mid-year sale for all of your mid-rise pants needs; a 40% off sale at Rachel Comey, sensible heels included; an extra 20% off sale at Bergdorf’s (there’s a couple of Khaite studded Olivia bags in the mix); early access to up to 60% off at Jacquemus, with a lot of those sheer merino button-front tops; the beginning of the DSM SS26 sale (not really a spoiler: it’s a lot of 40% off CDG and Junya); and 50% off select styles at Another Tomorrow (among those styles the satin pleated trouser, a fan favorite).

Ooooh had never heard of Saint, thank you! On Toteme - there's loads of '24 and '25 on The Outnet too, the bags and shoes are unreal. x
