Afternoon Delight

what can be better on a snowy afternoon during fashion week than hot tea, vanilla cupcakes, champagne and our latest girl crush Saloni Lodha?  It was the perfect gathering in the back of Gemma to view Saloni’s Fall collection along with her short film to go along.  A long list of ladies attended including:  Poppy Delevigne, Meredith Melling Bourke, Joanna Hillman, Zann Rassi and Caroline Issa.

We are beside ourselves to be adding Saloni to our list of designers on LN this fall!!  Her dresses are perfect for any soiree!

Hot Item! Rag & Bone’s Cravat Coat

In a season of khaki green army jackets, Rag & Bone’s regal Cravat Coat takes the military trend to a chic new level. We want to be in this camp…

Tough Nautical

The nautical look is having a major revival this spring.  Just about every fashion magazine has covered the trend in some way or another.  So as not to go “overboard” with the stripes and navy this season, try Lucky market editor, Jenny Kang’s spin on the trend - Tough Nautical. Blur the lines with sequin and leather for a fresh interpretation.

Shop our YACHT ROCK boutique for a curated selection of nautical pieces to anchor your look!

Bensoni Fall 10

Sigh…to inherit a wardrobe of impeccable clothes from a wealthy great aunt in Greenwich! That was the inspiration for Bensoni’s fall presentation, and Blair Waldorf might very well have been the bequeathed upon muse for this chic UES collection. Benjamin Channing Clyburn and Sonia Yoon took all of the classic elements of a socialite’s uniform - Chanel tweeds, rich brocades, luxe furs…and made them modern and slightly quirky. We wanted to play dress up in everything…and come fall you will too!

Gryphon Fall ‘10

Gryphon's Aimee Cho

Gryphon's Aimee Cho

Hints of military and grunge defined Gryphon’s Fall 10 collection. Designer Aimee Cho manages to interpret two rather hardcore, masculine themes into lovely and wearable clothes with a serious “it girl” factor. Pictured above in her sunlit drenched showroom adorned with curious objects and vintage finds, Cho is the line’s perfect muse.

NYFW: Maryam Nassir Zadeh

A trip to Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s LES store/showroom always heightens my fashion senses. The gallery like space features curious fixtures, uncommon objects and amazing fashion all artfully curated to work together and inspire you to experiment with your style. Downstairs is her gem box of a showroom where Maryam and her chic team represent some brilliant and hard to find labels, like Apiece Apart, which LN is thrilled to be stocking this spring.

I don’t want to give too much away as we haven’t even gotten our spring shipment from Apiece Apart (coming any day!!), but we were so blown away by fall. That’s sort of an understatement. We tried on the entire collection…oohed, aahhed and coohed over ourselves in the mirror…licked every piece…and contemplated theft.

I don’t want to get you all hot for fall 10 before we even get their rad spring collection, but just get excited for Apiece Apart. You’ll realize what your wardrobe was missing when you see their stuff!
