The September Fashion News That Has Our Attention

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.

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.
