LINCS by David Chu


Like we said, we decided to start NY Fashion Week a littttttle before the actual start date. We just could not wait til Thursday! Last night we attended our first Fashion Week Presentation for a new menswear line, LINCS by David Chu. Note: If you're a male reading this, PLEASE dress this way! And if you're a female, want to join forces and harass Mr. Chu until he creates a women's line?!


David Chu, best known as the founder of Nautica, presented his LINCS by David Chu Fall/Winter Collection at the Adventures in Downtown Country Club Event. The event embodied All-American style with a bucolic twist. Held at The Townhouse in the Gramercy Park neighborhood, the ambiance of countryside refinement was brought to fruition with backgammon, synthetic grass, sweet tea, and mini-hamburgers. Models were clad in safety orange down puffer vests with fur collars, stretch cord trousers, and argyle crewnecks with deliberate bed-head and contemplative stares. The event, fondly coined, "the return of the chunky sweaters," made me yearn for crisp autumn days--and a wish for David Chu to develop a women's line! Or at the very least can we bypass this snow storm we're having today!?

Let the Games Begin!


I really do feel like all of the games are beginning. With the Super Bowl just this past Sunday, the opening ceremonies for the Olympics coming on Friday, and Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week officially starting on Thursday, can we all agree that this is probably the best week all winter? I mean, there's pretty much something for everyone! And we can just ignore the fact that we're likely getting a blizzard tomorrow (EWW).

Anyyyyywayyyyy, we decided to start Fashion Week a little early (but who isn't?). Last night we attended the Models Hotel Official Launch Party & Fashion Delivers Charity Event at the new west-side hot spot Juliet. Hosted and attended by a plethora of fashion big-wigs, fashion models, fashionistas, and of course socialites (and even Olympic Silver Medalist Fencer Jason Rogers...coincidence that the Olympics are coming up? I think not.), it was a night of networking, complimentary Vita Coco Coconut Water (which I just discovered...YUM!), and of course the debauchery of a top-shelf open bar! I must say, a perfect way to kick off Fashion Week!


What we wore: Millau Handkerchief Sweater, Millau Bandage Skirt, Jeffrey Campbell Studded Booties, Scarf (Unknown, purchased at a boutique in Paris). Gryphon Embellished Tee, worn under Alcot Oversized Sweater, Jeffrey Campbell Poland Boot, Rings by YSL & Unknown (purchased at LF Store)
