Hyper color
Rainbow bright is the new winter white … if Virgil Abloh has anything to say about it. The trailblazing designer’s new Technicolor camo collection is available at Louis Vuitton’s Soho pop-up, which Abloh splashed in the same eye-catching pattern. Dubbed Louis Vuitton 2054 (a nod to both the brand’s 1854 launch as well as its future), the waterproof, 14-piece line includes Monogram 3-D backpacks, carryalls that unfold into sleeping bags, iridescent chain-link necklaces and a T-shirt that collapses into its own front pocket. The colorful capsule solidifies Abloh’s vision as the gift that keeps on giving.
Brand new bag
Dudes, sack your old backpacks: MZ Wallace has launched a line of mens bags. Dubbed The Bleecker Collection, the six lightweight, water- and stain-resistant styles (a duffel bag, commuter briefcase and Dopp kit) come in black-and-blue camo, and are designed to handle everything from morning commutes to trips upstate. “The goal with the collection is to address as many of his needs as possible with a considered selection of sensibly edited pieces,” says Lucy Wallace Eustice, MZ Wallace’s co-founder. How handy.
Bode’s boÎte
Cult-favorite designer Emily Adams Bode’s new LES shop was inspired by a vintage American modernist hotel lobby. The coffee-stained space, at 58 Hester St., was designed in collaboration with Green River Project. It features a reclaimed, hand-painted, 1890s clay fountain, mahogany furniture (including a rail-car sofa with horse-blanket upholstery) and knickknacks from the designer’s personal archive. Runway looks, one-of-a-kind garments and a line of patchwork pillows are all on display.
