071: new arrivals
icons, scandi beauty, and astrology readings
The snow is melting in New York, just in time for Fashion Week. We’ve graduated from scaling gray ice piles to expertly sidestepping slush lakes. Growth.
In brighter news, here’s what’s new this week.
Selima for Linda
This week, Selima for Linda launched a new silhouette, inspired by Linda Rodin herself, that walks the line between chic and statement. Each pair is made at Selima’s New York atelier. They invited me in Tuesday night. I tried them on. They’re very good.
The Rollneck™ Remix
J.Crew hands its 40-year-old icon to five American designers: BUCI NYC, Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta, Patrick Taylor, and Tanner Fletcher.
Maison Margiela / Folders
Maison Margiela unlocks the archive. Physical and digital materials released via the team’s Dropbox are now public for the first time. As the project evolves, additional files will drop, documenting the path from idea to exhibition in real time.
Repetto Silk Tennis
Soft, low-profile sneakers are having a moment, from Margiela to Prada. Repetto’s answer is the Silk Tennis, tied with double satin laces and poised somewhere between street shoe and studio slipper.
Ciao Lucia Spring Collection
Ciao Lucia’s spring collection has arrived. Sheer knits, silky matching sets, and sun-ready dresses made for wherever you’re escaping next.
Bob Beauté at Violet Grey
Now available exclusively at Violet Grey, Bob Beauté brings a distinctly Norwegian point of view to the vanity. Founded by Gine Margrethe, the line is tight, refined, and beautifully packaged.
