Another Tomorrow Debuts the Foundation Wardrobe
Who: Another Tomorrow
What: The Foundation: A System For Living in Alignment
Where: Online at anothertomorrow.co
Why: For those looking to recalibrate their wardrobes and do so sustainably, look no further. Another Tomorrow is the premier brand crafting classics without compromising on ecological responsibility. It’s so confident in its processes, in fact, that each product comes with a unique QR code that catalogues the item’s entire provenance, from conception to purchase. The Foundation is a 34-piece capsule containing everything you need, from the perfect white button-down to the ultimate high-rise denim pictured here, made in a specific Italian mill using organic cotton. There’s nothing here to feel guilty about here—other than being ridiculously chic, that is.

What: Capsule collection
Where: Online at lacoste.com and bandier.com, and in-store at Lacoste and Bandier
Why: The tennis craze isn’t going anywhere, and is reaching its peak with the arrival of the last Grand Slam of the year in New York, the US Open. For their first-ever collab, Lacoste and Bandier created a French-American collection chock-full of sporty pieces, like this bra and leggings set, plus tennis attire and athleisure for on and off the court.

Where: Online at thenorthface.com and cdgcdgcdg.com, and in-store at Dover Street Market and select CDG and The North Face locations
Why: If you’re trying to achieve the true New Yorker uniform this fall (all black), look no further. Comme des Garçons joined forces with The North Face for an athleisure-heavy collection, including this fleece with a hidden message in the lining. Run, don’t walk before this collab certainly sells out.

Tumi Introduces New Georgica Collection With Reneé Rapp
Who: Tumi
What: Georgica bag collection
Where: Online at tumi.com
Why: In case you didn’t get your chic Hamptons getaway this summer, there’s still hope for fall. Tumi’s new Georgica collection brings East Hampton’s Georgica Beach to life with an autumnal touch. In the brand’s campaign featuring Reneé Rapp, soft totes, backpacks, and crossbodies are introduced in juxtaposition to Tumi’s typically super-structured aesthetic. The minimalist, sophisticated styles are crafted in natural grain pebbled or smooth leather and are available in black and taupe colorways. Choose your fighter.

Agua by Agua Bendita Taps Colombian Artist Xandra Uribe for Bean-Inspired Collection
Who: Agua by Agua Bendita
What: Collaboration with Xandra Uribe
Where: Online at aguabyaguabendita.com
Why: The humble bean gets a high-fashion treatment by none other than Colombian resortwear mainstay Agua by Agua Bendita and Colombian artist Xandra Uribe. Uribe’s more natural and unexpected takes on nature and Colombian heritage contrast perfectly with Agua’s flowy and feminine dresses, which feature a black bean print. There are even bean necklaces, so you can carry the magical fruit with you at all times.
Who: SIR.
What: Limited-edition occasion capsule collection
Where: Online at us.sirthelabel.com
Why: Is your social calendar suddenly jam-packed with end-of-summer soirées? SIR. has your back with a limited-edition “occasion” capsule of dresses fit for—you guessed it—any occasion. The brainchild of co-founder and creative director Sophie Coote and her bridesmaids, the collection is comprised of seven styles in bright colors, each one named after the bride’s ladies in waiting.

Madewell Partners With Molly Dickson on Denim Capsule
Who: Madewell and Molly Dickson
What: Limited-edition denim capsule collection
Where: Online at madewell.com
Why: Madewell has tapped none other than stylist Molly Dickson to create a limited-edition capsule collection of 12 denim pieces that range from a bralette to a micro miniskirt and overalls. Taking sartorial inspiration from Dickson’s family and star clients (like Camila Mendes, who fronts the campaign), the collab is sure to become the star of your summer, fall, winter, and spring wardrobe, because denim is year-round.
Who: Loewe
What: New store
Where: 20 Main Street, East Hampton, NY
Why: Like the rest of the fashion crowd, Loewe is putting down roots out east—specifically on Main Street in East Hampton. The Spanish house’s new 3,000-square-foot retail space features signature codes, along with eco-friendly store displays made using recyclable blocks. Expect the latest collections, bags, and even some special objects, like a pair of pots by Japanese straw artist and Loewe Craft Prize 2018 finalist ARKO.

Mother Launches Vintage-Inspired Fall Capsule Collection
Who: Mother
What: “Lost & Found” collection
Where: Online at motherdenim.com
Why: Fall is just around the corner—and Mother is ushering in the new season with a vintage-tinged 11-piece capsule collection, “Lost & Found,” which references throwback styles from the ’70s and ’80s. (Think: trucker hats, two-tone tops, and dark-wash denim.) We love the retro stripes on this fitted crewneck tee in particular.
