Magasin’s pop-up newsletter-within-a-newsletter, where we go on the ground to suss out hot shopping gossip from scenes of interest: New York Fashion Week, Day 5.
Itinerary
12:30p Presley Oldham presentation — I am very charmed by the Hudson-based jewelry designer and his collection that’s heavy on freshwater pearls, coral, and colorful, vintage stones. The pieces are even more delightful layered up than they are on their own; I gravitated toward bracelets made of striped glass beads that resemble Danish hard candies. - AV
1p COS show — despite events (!), we still got a collection that, in classic COS form, was made available to buy immediately. Wool coats at generous ankle lengths, leather-ribbon separates, and my favorite, a pair of so-shiny-you-could-see-your-reflection-in-them silver trousers (that are already selling out). - LR
2p Sandy Liang show — plenty of the requisite pretty, pretty princess fare is on offer again this season, but with a sporty, utilitarian twist. My favorite series of looks included roomy track jackets styled with tulle skirts, belted with a signature Sandy oversized bow. - AV
3p Magda Butrym show — the brand’s first NY show; admittedly took the Saint Laurent on the mood board very literally, but still look after look of “I would wear that”—if at times “am I tall enough for that?” I can see myself adding more Magda to my closet this year. - LR
4p The Society Archive Collection show — Marcus Allen’s collection of vintage Abercrombie and Banana Republic put the Bruce Weber back into 2020s men’s fashion. Now, he’s taking his affection for surf codes, beefy guys, men in sarongs, and dorm-room boxers into a line he’s designing and producing himself. Instant downtown fixture. - LR
6p Miss Claire Sullivan at Dover Street Market — the designer has a booming custom business (every pop girl from Addison Rae to Rosalía has her on speed dial), but this week marks her first foray into ready-to-wear products. A tight collection of pieces, including a bolero jacket and a tulle-sleeved t-shirt, is now available at DSM and on her website for aspiring inhabitants of the Miss Claire universe, all sub-$1K. - AV

After the Conner Ives show, I changed from my first look into a second look at Emily Dawn Long’s Chinatown apartment, a couple blocks from her screening venue. The next morning, Emily sends me a pic of her wearing the Claudia Twisk shirt I had tied around my waist. (My reply: “Shes new, european. shirts but also like cool dresses. you would like.”) A little while later, she sends me a screenshot of her order confirmation for the same shirt. A little later still, when I saw her at The Society Archive show, she tells me she’s just convinced Molly and Reese Blutstein and Literary Sport’s Jackie McKeown to order it, too. It’s a good shirt!
I sat next to Throwing Fits’ Lawrence Schlossman and NYT Styles’ Jacob Gallagher at a show, and they clued me into Vivet, a menswear universe episode I’d missed entirely: Streamer Kai Cenat launched a brand with a runway show at Cipriani that both of my seatmates separately described as “like Yeezy, but not as bad as I thought it would be.” There is some debate as to weather a fur coat was made of real dog hair. PETA got the wrong address…
My two cuties of the day, both spotted at Magda Butrym: model Alexandra Ágoston wearing a Magda leather jacket I wouldn’t have bought for myself until I saw it in person, plus (also Magda) capris and delicate little heels. And, New York Magazine’s Joanna Nikas in full Aflalo—a sweeping scarf top-dress and crinkly capris (that I own and am inspired to style exactly this way).
The lace heels that went down the runway at Area (I didn’t attend, but saw on social) are from Evelina Kryvopust of Twins Design Studio’s graduate collection; she just released some pairs on her website today after an influx of demand. They are killer.
