EDITOR’S LETTER

“All women can do wonders when put to the test” — Wonder Woman Wonder Woman is the most popular female comic-book superhero of all time. Aside from Superman and Batman, no other comic-book character has lasted as long as she has. As the world’s first and foremost female superhero, Wonder Woman at once embodies the unrivaled force and supreme grace of a born warrior, and the genuine compassion and understanding of a true humanitarian. A symbol of equality, power, and truth, her natural confidence and unmistakable intelligence set her apart from other superheroes. Conceived by American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston, the story of Wonder Woman’s origin relates that she was sculpted from clay by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and given life by Aphrodite, along with superhuman powers as gifts from various Greek gods. Her Amazonian training helped her develop a wide range of skills in strategy, hunting, and combat, and she possesses an arsenal of advanced technology, including the Lasso of Truth (nobody can lie to Wonder Woman), a pair of indestructible bracelets (early Verdura?), and a golden tiara that also serves as a projectile weapon. My, these accessories would sure come in handy today! Generations of girls have carried their sandwiches to school in Wonder Woman lunchboxes (as did I), and in the era of #metoo, when the role of women has become especially crucial, Wonder Woman embodies female empowerment. As her original enactor, Lynda Carter, recently stated: “No one could take advantage of her.” In this issue, returning Q contributor Elizabeth Quinn Brown chronicles the life and career of “Living Legend” Lynda Carter—actress, singer, songwriter, model, and beauty-pageant titleholder, most widely known for her starring role in the 1970s hit television series Wonder Woman. As the story goes, Marston said, “What you need is a female superhero. She’ll be essentially a pacifist. She’ll fight for democracy, but she’ll be fighting for equal rights for women. And her super powers will be love and truth and beauty.” Lynda Carter delivered Marston’s character to a “T,” not only in her past portrayal as TV’s Wonder Woman in the 1970s, but throughout all facets of her remarkable life. Wonder Woman was the only television superhero to look spectacular in both spandex and street clothes. In its second and third seasons, Wonder Woman was set in “the modern age”—the late 1970s. U.S. Army nurse Diana Prince (Wonder Woman’s secret identity) epitomized disco-era style with her floppy hats, wide flares, oversized earrings, flowing sateen, and windshield-sized spectacles. Wonder Woman may have been the Princess of the Amazons, but Diana was the queen of fashion, and Lynda Carter rocked every look. This season, Q readers will be able to sport their best style with senior editor Ann Loynd Burton’s review of the Fall 2018 runway collections. From New York City to Milan, Burton covers everything from Gucci’s makeshift hospital stage to Carolina Herrera’s final show as creative director. For laid-back style, look no further than Scott Currie’s interview with Håndværk co-founder Esteban Saba as the two discuss Saba’s collection of high-quality, comfortable, luxurious everyday essentials. For all those making summer travel arrangements, deputy editor Daniel Cappello’s piece on “The Best of British Town & Counterclockwise from top right: Lusso by Fabio Angri Sunflower Ring; Country” reports on how travelers, thanks to the Four Seasons enjoying tea at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire; J.McLaughlin Kendra Hotel Hampshire, can journey back in time to a more demure way glazed bamboo clutch in Burnt; Lynda Carter on the set of Wonder of life, then ease themselves into the refinement of The City with Woman, 1976; Oscar Heyman gold, platinum, emerald, and diamond ring; a stay at The Connaught—a London icon. And while in London, a look from Carolina Herrera’s Fall 2018 runway show; Veuve Clicquot don’t miss the newly revamped Annabel’s (adopt a friend who’s Non-Vintage Rosé; Jane Birkin on the set of Sérieux Comme le Plaisir, a member)! Cappello reports on the day-to-night private club 1974; Tom Ford Sole di Positano, a delectable new scent from the Neroli offering members all the glitz of years past with glamorous new Portofino Collection; the ladies’ pink powder room at the new Annabel’s; touches for the 21st century. u Tory Burch Retro Cat-Eye Sunglasses in Tokyo tortoise/marigold.

When it comes to prints this summer, we agree that you should go bold—and the same holds true when it comes to your jewels. Interested in making a true statement? Look no further than Chopard’s Red Carpet Collection, which this season is offering a spectacular necklace in an array of subtly colored diamonds.

Erwin Blumenfeld was a successful fashion photographer who had an eye for the beautiful. This image of his also reveals his eye for the dramatic—from the model’s daring hair and makeup, to the jewelry that adorns her ears and hand. This summer, embrace a bit of the bold and find your flair with summery greens similar to those here. We love the antique French snake bracelet available at Linda Horn, and Maja DuBrul’s necklace of aquamarine and beryl. Verdura never disappoints if you’re looking to dazzle, and these Kaleidoscope rings are a veritable feast of color for the eyes.

Suitable Picks France Gall, born Isabelle Genevieve Marie Anne Gall in 1947, was a popular French yé yé singer and also a fashion inspiration of the 1960s. She was best known for her young, innocent “French schoolgirl look,” often sporting her blonde hair in a neat bob with colorful barrettes, a false beauty mark on her flawless face, and playful outfits (think nautical colors, pleated skirts, and feminine dresses). In this photo, Gall wears a yellow bikini on the French Riviera in August, 1966.

Elizabeth Taylor is the queen of style with the Gucci Bamboo bag slid over her arm as she chats backstage with Paul Newman on the set of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, based on the Pulitzer Prize– winning play by Tennessee Williams, in 1958. Offscreen, the iconic actress wore tailored classics—injected with personality— that still hold up today. This season’s selection of handbags echoes that aesthetic in easy shades of blue, gray, and taupe.

Smooth Sailings Sean Connery is known for playing many parts, but perhaps his most famous is that of James Bond, as the first actor to portray the title character in the film series adapted from Ian Fleming’s novels. Connery’s suave, debonair nature was an easy fit for the spy with the smoothest of moves. Whether chasing a villain on the high seas or chasing down a martini, Connery (as Bond) was the picture of cool. This summer, keep things cool yourself with the help of some of these handsome accessories and finishing touches.

Françoise Hardy was one of many international stars who appeared in Grand Prix, the 1966 American drama about motorsports that was directed by John Frankenheimer. The film included real-life racing footage and cameo appearances by several Formula One World Champion drivers. One of the 10 highest-grossing films of the year, Grand Prix won three Academy Awards for its technical achievements. We think Hardy’s styling was an award-worthy achievement all its own—and an inspiration for these noteworthy accessories. SPRING 2018/

In 2018, Lynda Carter—America’s “Wonder Woman”— received her “star” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Stylist Ann Caruso, who dressed the brunette icon for 2018’s Met Gala, shares with Q: “Lynda is a very special woman. I’ve never met anyone like her. She sees right through you with her ‘lasso of truth’ and heals you with her smile. She’s a real gem.” She continues, “It has been an honor and an absolute pleasure to work with her. She is an exemplary example of strength and beauty. Her timeless beauty speaks to generations and her character as a powerful woman, both on and off the screen, has influenced and inspired both men and women to feel like they can do anything. So many people were mesmerized by her bold and fearless character at a

time when there were very few women role models.” Lynda Jean Córdova Carter was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 24, 1951—the third child of Colby and Juanita Carter. (“Córdova” was from her mother, who was born in Chihuahua, Mexico.) She wanted to be a musician and, at 14, became a member of her first band, Just Us. Carter entered Arizona State University but was soon on the road with another band. She was The Garfin Gathering’s vocalist until an event in 1972 in what she considered “Timbuktu, Ohio.” Carter remembered, to the Youngstown Daily Vindicator (May 21, 1981): “I suddenly took a look at myself. I was in this room, with its faded green walls, and I thought to myself, ‘I don’t want to be doing this when I’m 40.’”

Carter returned to Phoenix, Arizona. In 1972, she was crowned Miss Phoenix and, then, Miss Arizona and Miss World USA. She welcomed these endorsements—but, with an amount of self-awareness. Carter shared to the New York Times (March 31, 2018), “You have to visualize the time. Women’s lib! Burn the bra! Gloria Steinem! And I had some guy telling me I needed a chaperone and had to go cut a ribbon somewhere. It wasn’t me.” She benefited from the attention these contests brought, and she soon rerouted to Los Angeles to become an actress. There, she auditioned as she connected with others in the business, including actor’s coach Charles Conrad (who also instructed Kim Basinger, Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Quaid, and Susan Sarandon) and Leslie Moonves (who is, now, CBS’s CEO). Carter debuted in Nakia (1974) and was then cast in other TV shows, including Starsky and Hutch (1976). But it was the Diana Prince/Wonder Woman character that would establish Carter as an actress—and as a female

as she continued with her TV career. Carter also returned to music—she recorded her first of her four albums, “Portrait,” in 1978. Carter married her second husband, Robert Altman, in 1984. She relocated to be with him in the Washington, D.C., area, where she would welcome her two children, James (who was born in 1988) and Jessica (who was born in 1990). Carter’s close friend, Blaine Trump, shares with Q: “For many years, Lynda, Robert, and I have traveled the world together. People know that she’s an accomplished actor and talented singer but what they may not know is she’s a wonderful wife and mother as well as a fun BFF! ‘Wonder Woman’ has a voice that continues to fight for making this planet a better place! She rocks!” And it’s true: Carter rocks. Since 2005, she has starred as Mama Morton in London’s West End’s Chicago and as well as in her cabaret show (“An Intimate Evening with Lynda Carter”) and in her concerts across the U.S.—which have included Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City and the

force. In 1975, Carter beat Joanna Cassidy (who would star in 1982’s Blade Runner and 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit) to be featured as the iconic heroine in the TV show Wonder Woman (1975–1979). The Diana Prince/Wonder Woman character had been introduced in 1941, when creator William Marston (a psychologist) recommended to DC Comics’ Max Gaines: “What you need is a female superhero. She’ll be essentially a pacifist. She’ll fight for democracy, but she’ll be fighting for equal rights for women. And her super powers will be love and truth and beauty.” And these ideas translated from the 1940s to the 1970s—when Carter would wear the star-spangled costume (as well as the accessories, which included the “bracelets of submission” and the “lasso of truth”) for three seasons. In 1977, Carter married her first husband, Ron Samuels—a decision that she has described, to Closer (April 12, 2018): “He was a lot older, and I was just stupid.” (The two were divorced in 1982.)

We’ve been trying to tell you for a long time and you haven’t listened. It took powerful women who are famous to yell ‘Fire’ in a crowded theater full of executives that there was one guy [Harvey Weinstein].

You don’t have to be to the manor born to enjoy the manorial life, thanks to a gorgeous retreat just an hour’s drive from London. Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, an impeccably restored historic Georgian manor house that seamlessly blends English country living with 21st-century comforts, is a true delight for both the historically minded and the outdoors-inclined. Anyone who, come Sunday night, is still suffering from Downton Abbey withdrawal might want to take note—or, perhaps even more period-appropriate, those Jane Austen enthusiasts who can’t get enough of any BBC production of Pride & Prejudice should certainly take heed. The Four Seasons Hampshire retreat is situated on 500 acres of extensive grounds with lawns, enclosed gardens, stables, and a canal (you should seriously consider lounging on the hotel’s 70-foot custom-designed canal boat, which offers room for a SPRING 2018/

reception of 20, or a more intimate gathering of eight around its center oval table). Even the fitness center, set in a 300-yearold stable block, offers a gym overlooking a Zen Garden. The 18th-century Georgian manor house, with period-style additional wings and a conservatory pool, has been meticulously restored and basks in its historical splendor, from the English furnishings in every room to the classical architectural details throughout. Here, you’re free to fulfill all fantasies of the quintessential country life, from tennis to golf, from clay pigeon and skeet shooting to croquet, from falconry to fishing, from horseback riding to canal boating. As summer draws near, so does the lure of a country picnic. We’re talking proper picnics in the countryside, with traditional wicker hampers stuffed with your favorite culinary delights, on vast lawns just a stone’s throw from historical landmarks such as Winchester Cathedral, Virginia Water, and Windsor Great Park. In fact, you don’t even have to leave the Four Seasons grounds themselves: the property’s Dogmersfield Park estate is not only an ideal setting to re-stage your own Déjeuner sur l’herbe, but also happens to be where King Henry VIII met his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Of course, nothing beats recovering from a day of horseback riding among wild deer, grouse, pheasants, foxes, and badgers like a trip to the spa. Melt away with a Hampshire Herbal ex-

The treatment is relaxing enough to send you straight to bed, yet invigorating enough to prepare you for dinner at Wild Carrot, the recently opened signature restaurant helmed by executive chef Dirk Gieselmann and restaurant chef Adam Fargin, who take inspiration from the land and its rich history to create both cocktail concoctions and a food menu that champion the best of locally and regionally sourced seasonal produce. Breaking the mold of the English country house hotel, Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire combines the intimacy and comfort of an out-of-town retreat with the rugged, outdoorsy spirit of English country life, creating a very special niche all its own, and one that prepares you for the journey back to city life. And, as far as the city goes, there is perhaps only one hotel

that can ease you back from this Arcadian indulgence—The Connaught, in Mayfair. As soon as you push past the hotel’s romantic revolving wooden door, you’re made to feel like that person London has always been famous for: a true gentleman. The Connaught is imbued with a cosmopolitan finish like few other hotels in the world: it’s not a glitzy, gilded, palatial entrance, but more of a gentleman’s or lady’s welcome home. Dark mahogany wood, sharply dressed staff, and an active yet hushed aura set the tone: this is where people in the know are staying, where business leaders are meeting, where fashion executives are making plans, where chic shoppers are dining, and where, if you’re lucky enough, you are spending a few nights. Like every member of the staff here, even the doormen make a difference. As Carl Holness, one of the hotel’s top-hatted greeters says, “I am the first thing people might see at The Connaught.” Courteous, elegant, and unobtrusive, Holness is as friendly and welcoming as any of the polished staff inside. If you’re coming from Hampshire, perhaps no room is more suitable than the lavish Piano Sutherland Suite, so named for the 1909 Steinway grand piano in the impressive living room (the suite is soundproofed, so you can even have a private concert during your stay). It might feel a bit excessive, but the butler service is truly here to help, and loves doing so. Don’t be surprised

if, within minutes of checking in, your bags are unpacked, your clothes are hung in the closet, and an outfit is picked out—and perfectly steamed—for afternoon tea downstairs. The neighborhood of Mayfair offers abundant dining options for seeing and being seen, not to mention private clubs galore (the newly reopened Annabel’s isn’t far away), but once you’ve checked in to the glamour of The Connaught, you don’t ever want to check out—or step out. From the warm, quiet, and intimate atmosphere of the Coburg Bar to the buzzy and alive Connaught Bar, there are few other spots in town quite like these. Or restaurants like the two-Michelin-starred Hélène Darroze at The Connaught or the hotel’s latest opening: Jean-Georges at The Connaught, by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Dessert at either restaurant is de rigueur, and so is an after-dinner drink, either back at the Connaught or Coburg bars, or—better yet—back in your suite, where you can slip into a warm marble bath, savor that digestif, and start planning your next trip back, for both London town and English country. u

From European aristocrats to Hollywood royalty, London’s forever It Club, Annabel’s, has hosted the boldest of bold-faced names over the years. Here, Princess Michael of Kent is seen seated

get any more British than that. And it doesn’t get more British than Annabel’s, the world-famous nightclub and English institution that each of the British monuments above has frequented. Allegedly, it’s the only nightclub Her Majesty has ever visited; then again, when the club in question bears an instantaneously recognizable single name—much like “Jackie” or “Diana”—you know it’s worthy of the royal presence. After more than 50 years at the heart of London’s nightlife, during which Hollywood stars and royalty alike have descended under the striped canopy on Berkeley Square, there’s a new Annabel’s on the block. The club—still members-only—has finally opened the doors to its much-anticipated new home, just two doors down from its original address. This new Annabel’s has been reimagined in an 18th-century Grade-One-listed Georgian townhouse at 46 Berkeley Square. Spanning 26,000 square feet, the new venue occupies considerably more space than the original club. And, for the first time, Annabel’s is not just the haunt of night owls: it’s been reinstated as an all-day and all-night experience, with new and additional floors for members to work, dine, and entertain guests.

This page: The nightclub corridor

Originally founded in 1963 by Mark Birley and named for his wife at the time, Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart, Annabel’s has built a global reputation over the past five decades as perhaps the most elegant and private club in the world. Over the years, it has hosted a Who’s Who of the global elite. Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Tina Turner, Jack Nicholson, Diana Ross, Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Lady Gaga have all been here, and surely the roster of bold-faced names will continue to roll right into the future, especially in this swank new rendition, which was overseen by current owner Richard Caring, the clothing tycoon and force behind the proliferation of The Ivy restaurants. Membership to Annabel’s remains by invitation only, and the waiting list is still open. Annabel’s at 46 Berkeley Square still offers the intimate nightclub environment members have always enjoyed, along with new spaces and services to cater to their needs. It houses four new restaurants, seven bars, two private dining rooms, and a cigar salon, spread across four spacious floors. Outside, on the terrace, an enchanting restaurant garden that seats up to 120 offers year-round dining. The nightclub is still below ground—it just wouldn’t feel the same having to ascend a set of stairs to enter in the wee hours—and pays homage to the decadence and excess of the original Annabel’s. Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (also responsible for The Ivy, Sexy Fish, and 34 Mayfair) has overseen the design of Annabel’s at 46 Berkeley Square, retaining the period features of the listed building. Inspired by the building’s garden and the greenery of Berkeley Square, the new Annabel’s was conceived with flora and fauna in mind, of course in an eclectic and playful manner. Each floor of the townhouse tells its own story based on various historically important gardens (picture green pleated-silk wall coverings in the reception area, for starters). At the heart of the building is the original cantilevered stone staircase, complete with a suspended Jules Verne–inspired hot air balloon with an accompanying sculpture of Pegasus, regally dressed in bespoke tassels and gold leaf. Brudnizki and his team have painstakingly restored other original features, including elaborate plaster ceilings and majestic fireplaces in the Rococo style. The new Annabel’s is geared toward a new generation of members: never mind if your blood isn’t true blue or of aristocratic stock. If you’re an influencer, either ancien or arriviste, you’re more than welcome here, and you probably shouldn’t miss your chance at snapping a pic of the pink onyx basins and handmade silk flowers lining the ceiling in the ladies’ powder room on the second floor. It’s about as swell as you can get, and it’s probably the most photographed bathroom of the moment on social media. Who needs the paparazzi when you have Instagram? This is the new Annabel’s, after all. u

Scott Currie Unearths Håndværk’s Luxurious, Everyday Essentials by

Scott currie

P h ot os c ou r te sy o f H å n dv ær k

I know you will find this hard to believe, but I have found the most comfortable T-shirt ever made: Håndværk, a luxury basics brand rooted in quality, authenticity, and mostly, comfort. I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Esteban Saba, co-founder of the brand (his wife Petra Brichnacova is the other co-founder!), at Pierre’s in Bridgehampton to learn a little bit more about his company and background. Scott to Esteban: Thanks for taking the time today! So beautiful out here—do you ever miss the city? Esteban to Scott: It’s a pleasure. You know, that’s a good question. I do miss the city on certain days, but being out here with Petra, my wife, has really changed my perspective on Manhattan living. At the stage we are at with our company, it would have been impossible to have grown so quickly in the city— here, we have so much more room, literally and figuratively, to put all of our efforts into Håndværk. S. I can tell, it’s truly an amazing brand. E. Clearly, you’re wearing one of our summer striped T-shirts! S. Ha, it is one of my favorites! Tell me, what do you love most about running your business from Southampton?

E. The quality of life out here is the biggest factor: the nature, the light and quietness, the air; I could go on and on, but it really is consistent with Håndværk’ slow living motto. Also, being out East allows us to stay true to our craft—we do not get caught up in the high-fashion scene, which is great because that’s really not the direction we’re taking our brand. S. That’s really amazing; what inspires you about being out East? E. It comes down to the feeling of being outside regardless of the season. Here, there is always some form of nature to appreciate. We also love the elevated/casual lifestyle that Southampton grants us, along with the time to enjoy our friends and each other’s company. SPRING 2018/

S. What are some of your favorite places in the Hamptons? E. For the best breakfast in town we love the Hampton Maid. We also really like swimming in the springs, along with their general store (it’s the least hyped part of the Hamptons) and then for art we really enjoy the Water Mill Center and the Parrish Art Museum. S. I have always really cherished the Water Mill Center, too. Do you have any favorite stores? E. Henry Lehr’s new store in Southampton is my favorite, and my wife, Petra, loves the succulents offered at Marders in Bridgehampton.

S. How would you describe the Håndværk customer? E. I would say ideally it is someone who is thoughtful when they buy a product; they choose quality over quantity. Our customers tend to be urban professionals who like to look their best regardless if they are in the boardroom or the cocktail lounge … also, they do not want to be defined by a logo. S. What are some of your favorite pieces? E. I love our Short Sleeve Knit Polo, and the new summer colors of our standard Pique Polo are truly gorgeous, too (think

Long story short, I worked on the corporate advisory side in mergers & acquisitions, IPOs, Capital Markets, etc., and spent most of my career at Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, and JPMorgan. Unlike most, I truly loved banking.

Mix Masters by

Although the industry is undergoing a period of transformation, fashion week marched on this February, as designers presented Fall 2018 collections with a rich blend of inspirations, eras, and aesthetics that embody the overarching trend in fashion today: anything goes. The same went for the venues, which spanned the tried-and-true Lincoln Center to a faux New York City apartment and a makeshift hospital room in Milan. Whatever streets you call your runway, this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentations suggest that the key to style is in the mix.

> Carolina Herrera If you’re going to make an exit, make one like Carolina Herrera, who announced just days prior to her Fall ’18 presentation that she would be passing the reigns to her creative director, Wes Gordon, to lead the brand moving forward. Herrera wore her stately uniform of black trousers and a white blouse, which was echoed in the first looks that strutted down the runway to the tune of Ella Fitzgerald’s “Night and Day.” The song’s refrain, “keeps repeating,” is perhaps a metaphor for the always evolving yet still unmoving cycle of fashion. The collection was an homage to Herrera’s legacy, a celebration of Hollywood glamour and classic staples updated with modern whimsy from bold colors to rich fabrics and playful materials in always-feminine silhouettes. The volume was high (literally), with gowns made from opulent feathers or layers of tulle and statement ’80s-era sleeves. The parade of elegance was incredibly refreshing in a climate where track suits outnumber pant suits and sneakers are preferred over stilettos, sending a message that the brand will continue to do what it does best moving forward: unapologetic glamour.

> Oscar de la Renta When your boss takes you on a field trip, you remember to take notes. Such was the case for Oscar de la Renta co-creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, who spent the day with their mentor at the Met Cloisters shortly before his passing. Kim told WWD that the outing was “one the most amazing memories we have of him.” That afternoon of Old Master artwork was the duo’s source of inspiration for their Fall ’18 collection, taking the form of embroidered silks, thick brocades, and delicate velvet ribbon ties, which all felt at home under the Cunard building’s high vaulted ceilings and ship-themed art in lower Manhattan. Tasked with appealing to the Millennial demographic as well as the line’s devout customer base, the looks weren’t all Old World. Cropped sweaters, playful tulle, and sequin-adorned gowns for evening walked the runway along with structured tapestries and modest shirt dresses. It’s not so much inconsistent messaging as a testament that the designers can execute both structured, sophisticated staples for the office and fitand-flare party dresses, as well as on-trend, slouchy knits and hits of sheer, sexy lace.

> Michael Kors Collection Designed to be an homage to New York and a “valentine to personal style,” Michael Kors Collection returned to Lincoln Center—once the epicenter of all things New York Fashion Week—for its fall presentation. The styling also celebrated the spirit of the city’s individualistic street style à la Carrie Bradshaw (the Sex and the City theme song even made a brief appearance). Slip dresses were paired with combat boots, Fair Isle piled on plaid, and stripes worn with leopard and florals all at once. It was a lot to take in, but if you deconstruct the quirky styling, individual pieces salute what Kors does best—menswear tailoring, chunky knits, streamlined cocktail dresses, and, of course, structured handbags. The collection also included the brand’s first collaboration with British illustrator David Downton. Bella Hadid strutted the capsule dress down the runway (for a star-studded crowd including Zendaya): a waist-cinching hourglass decorated with black-and-white women’s portraits. Overall, the brand presented pieces that actually seem ready to wear, and a whole lot of them. Tartan scarves, shirt dresses, T-shirts, capes, coats—you name it. Because if New York women love anything, it’s choice.

> Bottega Veneta While many New York–based designers are fleeing to Paris or London to show their collections, Bottega Veneta designer Tomas Maier decided to debut his fall collection in the Big Apple instead of Milan. Why so? The brand just opened a new flagship on Madison Avenue and wanted to capture the spirit of the New Yorker: independent, imaginative, free-spirited. A part-time resident, Maier wanted the venue to feel like a city apartment, so he chose the American Stock Exchange building and built a second-floor stage. Consequentially, viewing the show proved difficult, but the clothes spoke for themselves. Patchwork suedes, nubby shearling, vibrant zebra patterns, structured trenches, and loads of leather were words of the day, along with silk pajamas representative of “throwing a coat on top of your pajamas and walking out to get a coffee or take the dog to the park,” as Maier told WWD. Still, the brand’s Italian heritage was present in its woven leather bags for men and women, bold pattern choice, and warm color palette. Proving its stock in the city that never sleeps, we suspect Bottega Veneta is here to stay. > Gucci New York is always a sensation, but we had to cross the Atlantic to view the show that has been setting the bar in both theatrics and design. Alessandro Michele held his presentation far from city center at Gucci’s Milan headquarters, which were outfitted to look like a hospital, complete with operating tables, florescent lights, and that familiar intermittent beeping. Some models even held replicas of their own heads as accessories. Why the heavy-handed metaphor? “We are the Dr. Frankenstein of our lives,” Michele said. “There’s a clinical clarity about what I am doing. I wanted to represent the lab I have in my head. It’s physical work, like a surgeon’s.” It’s not as far-fetched as it seems, as Gucci has been operating on the sameness of fashion in recent years. Abandoning seriousness, the brand embraced individuality with lots of ornamentation, bright colors, and a mix of tailored and free-flowing silhouettes—from structured suits to silk shifts. For head-wear, Michele represented a mash of cultures with American sports beanies, Asian turbans, and Middle Eastern Hijabs, proving that fashion can get bigger as the world gets smaller. u

Other notables present that day included Penelope Cruz, Sienna Miller, Sam Rockwell, Freida Pinto, Laura Harrier, and Darren Criss, who enjoyed endless amounts of Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
