Heatwave mid September - NYFW Day 1
incl. cuff rundown in Agmes studio; Heirlome is coming to London; Norma Kamali and favourite lunch spot in nyc
ON AGENDA
Norma Kamali
WHAT I’M WEARING
Thursday was particularly warm and luckily, I brought something I can use as a light summer layer - Maison Magdalena Brisa scarf. Which also proved to be a conversation opener, because I was mentioning Magdalenas name more times than my own.
Maison Magdalena scarf; Almada label Romy top; Phoebe Philo classic jeans; Toteme heeled sandals (similar here); Khaite sunglasses.
LUNCH SPOT
Via Carota - Three past trips to New York and I haven’t failed to visit them once. Always ask for daily specials specials, they often have grilled sardines - chefs kiss.
TAKE AWAYS
Heirlome SS26
Famous for their support and collaborations with artisans in Mexico and Latin America, this time Heirlome collaborated with Bernardina Rivera Baltazar and her daughter Roselia Felipe Rivera. Using the hand-drawn patterns, mother and daughter duo use on traditional Mexican clay jugs, Heirlome presented the patterns in print, embroidery and crochet form throughout the collection. Modern silhouettes combined with precisely crafted Folk art felt like a natural match, but new at the same time. I kept coming back to the tailored black coat with fountain brooch and the crochet dress.
After I finished asking the founder Stephanie Suberville one too many questions about the collection itself, I leaned into important one, so when is Heirlome coming to London. And guess what it is happening, approximately in November, in Harvey Nichols.
Agmes - Ilona collection
She did it again! Agmes latest Ilona collection - inspired by nature and fluidity of water made it impossible for me to leave. I found myself wanting to try on every piece of jewellery they’ve had on display and the studio turned out to be a candy shop for my wrists. With fall just around the corner, I’m favouriting chunkier pieces of jewellery, cuffs and statement necklaces to polish the outfits. My favourites in no particular order.
Norma Kamali SS26
From her latest works with the icon Lady Gaga, Norma Kamali is bringing more of it to us next spring. I predict sold outs for this caftan inspired embroidery black dress and the draped skirt.
