What We're Packing For New York

New York Fashion Week this year is home to brands like Simkhai, Coach, 7ForAllMankind, Khaite, Toteme and more. If we were spending a week in the city that never sleeps, this is what we'd do, where we'd go, and most importantly what we'd wear.

TORI DELAHOYDE, WOMENSWEAR BUYER, ON NEW YORK FASHION WEEK...

"New York Fashion Week always brings a distinct energy, with established names along with emerging brands setting the tone for the season ahead. Khaite is always a stand out for me, Catherine Holstein has built such a recognizable vision of modern New York Style, and I am always excited to see how she evolves the collection each season."

What To Wear For...

Coffee On The Upper East Side

Start your journey on the Upper East Side in style with Polo Ralph Lauren and Coach. We're reaching for Polo Ralph Lauren's barrel leg jeans and fringed leather jacket, and finishing the look with the Coach Drifter Shoulder Bag. We recommend stopping by Ralph’s Coffee, iconic coffee house created by - you guessed it - Ralph Lauren, and treating yourself to a takeaway treat. Better yet, their Madison Avenue location is just a few blocks away from the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art, otherwise known as The Met, so grab your coffee to go; it’s time to sit on the famous steps and watch the world go by.

A Stroll Through Central Park

Take a meandering stroll through Central Park, for the true New Yorker experience. From Strawberry Fields, the 2.5 acre living memorial to John Lennon, to Bethseda Fountain and Belvedere Castle, Central Park stretches from 59th Street at its most southerly point to 110th Street at its most northerly. We’re heading straight to The Mall & Literary Walk, outfitted in quintessential New York brands like The Frankie Shop, Michael Kors and Coach. To complete your look, we recommend this fringed coat from none other than Simkhai, so you can look like you walked off the runway and into the park.

Shopping In SoHo

No New York trip is complete without a shopping spree, and if there’s one area we can recommend for shopping it’s SoHo. Home to the heart of New York Fashion Week, here you’ll find boutiques from the most desirable brands. From Anine Bing to Prada, Acne to Céline, SoHo is home to some of fashion’s very best. In fact, you will find both Khaite and Toteme’s flagship stores on Mercer Street in SoHo, making it the most iconic shopping destination in the city. We'll be wearing Khaite's trending Arizona Ankle Boots and carrying our Toteme Mercer tote wherever we go. Tip: can’t make it to NYC? Don’t worry, you will also find Khaite, Toteme and more in our Grafton Street store at The Designer Rooms, with selected accessories and footwear online.

A Bite In Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a global capital for art, music, food and more, with landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park and the historic Coney Island boardwalk. But if we're honest, it’s the food we’re here for. L’Industrie in Williamsburg is famous for their burrata pizza slice, an elevated take on the classic $2 slice of yesteryear, while in Dumbo you can browse some of the city’s most iconic restaurants at the Time Out Market. Here you'll find Ess-a-Bagel, a Manhattan staple since 1976, or try Pastrami Factory’s take on the quintessential NY deli sandwich. We’re keeping it casual yet comfortable for our trip to Brooklyn, with a bomber jacket and t-shirt from Anine Bing, paired with classic 7ForAllMankind jeans.

An Evening In The West Village

Trendy and classy, historic yet modern, the West Village is home to many iconic bars, clubs, restaurants and backdrops. Here, not only will you find Carrie Bradshaw’s brownstone apartment from Sex & The City and Monica and Rachel’s apartment from FRIENDS, but you’ll also find Bookmarc, an LGBT-friendly book shop created by Marc Jacobs, and iconic foodie hotspots like Dante. An evening out in the West Village requires an outfit that is equally as timeless yet trendy. We’re loving these 7ForAllMankind studded jeans, a classic leather jacket from Anine Bing and heels from Stuart Weitzman.
