wooden platters are in
How would you like your coffee? How about on a wooden platter? The Row, the America luxury fashion house by Ashley Olsen and Mary Kate showed its SS17 collection but not before guests were treated to branded monochromatic coffee cups on a wooden platter. Accoutrements like milk were on the side, also on a wooden platter. The Olsen designers were also seen drinking their own branded liquid. The presentation was full of ruffles, pleats and lots of white beige and black and more black. That’s also an option for coffee too. Rolling with it.
Taking it’s own slogan to heart ‘Dare Greatly,’ Cadillac House is covering crucial tenets of culture with a special kickoff during NYFW that includes fashion, film and coffee.

on the street
It’s where style is and from where fashion can be born. There’s a long standing section of the New York Times, the city where Fashion Month kicks off biannually dedicated to the street. So, Rachel Comey’s take to the pavement of Soho outside of the Crosby Street Hotel was culturally exciting. She featured models doing everyday lifestyle things, with destinations, events and purpose while outfitted in her collection. And yes, those destination could also include the café of the Crosby Hotel which serves coffee. Touché.

Let there be light and big windows. Italians remind the culture how coffee can be done. At Café Altro Paradiso you can have a coffee and a grappa they say and one might have as ‘Lela Rose showed her collection here where wraps and full bodied skirts reigned. We’ll clap to that since, have a coffee and dressing well to go along with is more than a runway its ready- to-life.
