Valentino’s ACT edition now open at Bergdorf’s
Bergdorf Goodman’s temporary installation of Valentino’s ACT Collection has just commenced its two-week run. An extension of the house’s ongoing commitment to reviving the theater industry following the pandemic, the collection was inspired by theater fashion and the entertainment industry as a whole—as proven by the burgundy curtains and black-and-white lightboxes complementing the garb. The partnership is also a sweet nod to the long-lasting relationship between the department store and the Italian label. “We strengthened our commitment to each other recently with two new shops for both women’s ready-to-wear and handbags in exceptional real estate. We’re also celebrating one of the most seminal and pivotal shows of the fall season, Pierpaolo’s sexy chic ACT Collection, which finally inspired us to dress again, and begin to embrace a wardrobe beyond just comfort,” said Linda Fargo, Bergdorf’s senior vice president of the fashion office and store presentation. Find the collection on display on the second floor of the retailer’s womenswear department, as well as online.

Peloton releases activewear line
Since its inception in 2014, Peloton has enjoyed numerous partnerships with athletic brands, but today, after three years of design conceptualization, wear-testing, and apparel merchandising hires, the exercise company has finally launched a label of its own.

Each piece boasts breathable, no-pill, moisture-wicking, cool-finish touches. Top favorites include sport bras, bike shorts, sweatshirts, quilted jackets, leggings, and more, all offered in bright hues and with sporty-yet-refined detailing. According to Peloton, the label will produce eight drops each year, with surprise colors and logo treatments each time. Items retail from $15 to $118, and will be available for purchase in stores and online.
