500: A wedding guest dress designer goes sub-$50
Plus Miu Miu FW26, Chan Luu bridal, and Attersee's once-a-year sale.
Find a list of only-here discounts up to 25% off in the Magasin Code Index.
On Saturday I went to the launch of the Rosie Assoulin x Target collab and watched things sell out in real time: the braided belt, the bucket bag, even the dress I was wearing was at-risk inventory!! Luckily, the collection is still largely available online, at the same everything-under-$50 pricing that gagged shoppers at Target Soho (who were rightfully also gagged by the branded froyo truck parked out front, which they stood on line for carrying their event-day bouquets).
The partnership makes perfect sense: Rosie’s color-forward and pattern-embracing eye are both summer and Target incarnate, total bon vivance from garden party to packing list. But, especially held in contrast with her equally joyous mainline PF26 linesheet (this $3,995 wedding-guest dress has crossed this page multiple times already), it’s hard not to boggle at the insane deal at hand.

What’s new
The first runway pieces from Miu Miu FW26 are now available online, and it’s like the brand released its breakout singles before the rest of the sure-to-be-acclaimed album. What we mean: the stretch nappa leather boots with the late-’90s bubble sole (priced at a not-so-modest $2,300), the similarly ’90s tech-fabric pants, and that one long-sleeve minidress made entirely out of leather.
Jamie Haller continues rolling out styles for fall, with this edit inspired by another filial JH: her late grandfather, Julius George Haller. There’s the usual emphasis on relaxed masculine silhouettes, but the oversized blazer and kick-flare trousers take it to a more sophisticated grandfatherly place. There’s also the George slipper, an easy loafer inspired by papa JH’s house slippers.
Chan Luu’s first bridal collection is for tying the knot wearing ribbons tied in bows. Fare includes handmade jewelry featuring crystals, freshwater pearls, and taffeta ribbon. The ready-to-wear pieces are more nuptial-inspired than altar-ready, but they’re just as special (see: the white Dupioni collarless coat, million pleats skirt in techno taffeta, and sheer Chloe sequin tunic).
Almost perfectly timed to the announcement of Lisi Harrison’s continuation of legendary girl-YAF series The Clique, Tory Burch has reissued the crystal tunic from 2008. The silhouette is one of the first brand signatures, done up in a fine linen that gets worn in over time, lined with bands of crystals (hand-appliquéd, because TB really does think of everything).
A lot of exciting newness for the impending fall season at Net-A-Porter, across quite a forgiving price matrix, as far as luxury goes. Saint Laurent’s new arrivals run the outerwear-footwear gamut, from wool-blend tweed jackets to those kinky TPU pumps sending the internet into a tizzy. Pleats Please also joins the brand network with some all-season staples in fall colors, like the Plissé midi skirt in a dark jade green and midi dress in a pastel orange. Valesque also unveils a new season of handbags, introducing some crushed velvet iterations of both the shoulder bag and tote.
There’s also: the wear-it-backwards-and-forwards reversible Rollneck cardigan from J.Crew; a sporty boho-beach collab between Free People and surf brand Rusty (the campaign features rashguards styled with lace skirts, a rad and quirky combo); and the latest Dragon Diffusion drop at ssense, featuring a new burgundy colorway of the small Santa Croce tote.
What’s on sale
Attersee is currently hosting a private sale—something that only happens once a year, if we’re lucky. There’s a reason the brand has limited access to those signed up for their email list; the sale is expansive, ranging from pieces like the washed silk nylon drift shirt to the structured wool-silk Albers dress both 30% off. Any discount is a rarity from Attersee, so we welcome this 30% off as a late summer treat.
There’s currently 20% off Jude’s SS26 collection with ‘SUMMER20’ at checkout, just in time for the annual August-OOO exodus that raptures all creative-adjacent industries. We recommend targeting staple sandals and mules, like the Yaga flat in black suede and the paw mule in truly any color, but the red patent is that classic hot block heel.
There’s a lot of stuff in the Lauren Manoogian sale worth shopping, and a solid chunk of it is 50% off. More cold-weather-ready pieces see greater discounts, like the Suri brushed woven alpaca trouser and soft Alpaca-cashmere blend hoody and matching pants (essentially, an entire outfit for the original retail cost of just one piece). However, there’s still a bit of everything in the 30% range, like the linen planes tank and net wrap halter.
Hill House’s stockroom sale just deepened in the best way: in addition to some pieces marked up to 75% off, there’s an extra 30% off applied to your whole cart with ‘STOCKROOM’ at checkout. Some pricing perspective: the Lila nap dress marked down to $99 from an original $228 gets down to a calm $69 with the compounded discount. A great incentive from HH to get multiple colors of, say, the Matilda dress.
There’s also: an expansive edit of beloved summer styles from LoQ on sale up to 60% off, in the case of the Elisa sandal in taupe; and an additional 10% off at the Le Monde Beryl seasonal sale, featuring everything from the already 50% off Babouche kitten heel to multiple variations of the Stella slipper, discount dependent on color and fabric.
Men’s sales
It’s time for Colbo’s end-of-season sale, featuring what feels like the full color spectrum of brown-y neutral linens. While technically unisex, there are a lot of men-driven products nicely discounted, like the light pants in mahogany down to $207 from $345, and the metrics shirt in ivory down to $219 from $365.
Aimé Leon Dore also currently has an end-of-season sale running, with, like, hella T-shirts. Micrologo tees go for nearly 50% off down to $43 from $85, whereas season specials like the Yankees tank and Regatta tee are both 40% off.
