Dishes after our own heart! The latest collection from Fishs Eddy (which popped up in our Manhattan Users Guide email) looks like it could have come from the Pattern Pulp design studio. In addition to the lovely orange appeal, 5% of proceeds go to the New York City Food Bank. Dig in and check it out.
Trina Turk‘s a trailblazer in the pattern department. Her prints are vibrant and feminine and cover everything from tunics and shoes to couches and handbags. Today’s sale on Gilt Groupe presents a grounded collection of psychedelic florals and candy colored herringbone.
Rarely do I get an email about a sale that’s worth trudging across town for- today was different. I woke up to a firestorm of replies from my girlfriends about a Fenton Fallon sample sale in Midtown. The brand’s statement pieces have been on my radar for years and should be on yours as well, as each design is unique, edgy and truly a breath of fresh air in an industry overrun by sameness and knockoffs. From collaborations with Barneys, Proenza Schouler, Thakoon and J.Crew, Dana Lorenz, the brain child behind the brand has outdone herself in both departments of quality and quantity.
With prices ranging from $5 to $100, it’s pretty obvious I went to town. If you’re near 36th and 8th today, pay the studio a visit- your wallet and your girlfriends (if you’re kind) will thank you.
