The September Fashion News That Has Our Attention
The month is off to a buzzy start.

In the fashion industry, September is something of a reset. No, there’s never really a dull month — but after a summer full of OOO days and some much-needed relaxation, we’re once again off to the races. Blame it on the start of fashion month and award show season, but September is always a whirlwind, and this year is proving no different. Case in point: The month’s fashion news is already taking over our social media feeds, spanning new product launches, brand collaborations, and star-studded fall campaigns.
Good news for your wardrobe (and not-so-good news for your wallet): September marks the month when fall runway collections finally hit stores. Perhaps the most talked-about release thus far is Givenchy’s cult-favorite Shark Pinch boot, which creative director Sarah Burton has reimagined in six new iterations. Speaking of accessories, Gap is all the rage right now, thanks to its new GapBag collection, designed by Reed Krakoff, the brand’s executive director of accessories. The line features five silhouettes, all inspired by Gap’s bestsellers over the years.
What else is happening in the fashion world this September? Scroll onward for this month’s need-to-know news — and, as always, keep checking back for more updates throughout the month.
The Beekman Celebrates 10 Years In Lower Manhattan
The Beekman has plenty to celebrate this summer. The Thompson hotel officially marks 10 years in Lower Manhattan, where it opened in the historic Temple Court building in August 2016 following an extensive renovation. To commemorate the milestone, The Beekman — a stylish, it-girl-favorite spot — is rolling out exclusive anniversary offerings and original content honoring the people who have been part of its story.
For instance, the hotel is offering the Jet Set to The Beekman, a $10,000 one-night package that includes an overnight stay in the West Turret, a private terrace cocktail reception for six with selections from the hotel’s original opening menu, and an intimate dinner for six by Tom Colicchio’s culinary team — plus, a BLADE helicopter flight to Pier 6 in Lower Manhattan, where a house car will transfer you to the hotel. The anniversary festivities continue at The Bar Room and Laissez Faire, which are currently serving a signature celebratory cocktail.
“This anniversary is a chance to recognize all that has shaped The Beekman and carry that unmistakable spirit forward,” Titus Negrescu, the general manager of The Beekman, said in a press release. To further commemorate the occasion, the hotel recently hosted a chic dinner during New York Fashion Week, drawing a fashion-forward crowd.

Gap Introduces The GapBag Collection
Gap continues to win over the fashion set — this time with a genius (err, jeanius?) bag line. On September 8, the retailer released its GapBag collection, designed by Gap Inc.’s Executive Director of Accessories Reed Krakoff.

Priced from $30 to $148, the collection features five styles — the Five-Pocket Tote, Hoodie Tote, Favorite Tote, Shoulder Bag, and Crescent Bag — along with a selection of charms.
To commemorate the new launch, Gap is kicking off NYFW with a four-day takeover at Rockefeller Center from September 10 to September 13.
