Is NYFW getting a new central location?
All eyes on the Starrett-Lehigh Building in West Chelsea, which is reportedly the new home to New York Fashion Week: The Shows. According to industry insiders, IMG will no longer use Spring Studios as its official hub. While IMG, owner of the twice-annual franchise, has not yet confirmed the news, the switch is rumored to have been in the works for a while, with sources speculating that consistently broken air conditioning at the Varick Street building last season was a major cause of concern. It’s expected that the change of venue will come into effect for the February run of shows, which kick off from 2/9-2/14 in the city. The expansive Starrett-Lehigh building on West 26th Street is no stranger to show-goers, having hosted numerous runway shows from brands including Altuzarra, Tibi, Christian Cowan, and many more in seasons past.

Sienna Miller is Vogue’s Winter issue cover star
While she’s been in the public eye for half of her life, there’s still global fascination with actress Sienna Miller. Particularly now that Miller is expecting her second child, with boyfriend Oli Green. The British thesp stars alongside Green and her daughter Marlowe in an Annie Leibovitz-lensed editorial for the magazine, styled by Tabitha Simmons. To go along with the Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino-filled spread, she opens up to writer Chloe Schama about life now that she’s relocated back to London, her pregnancy, how she met Green, and what’s next. “I’d love to get to a point where I didn’t feel the need to make a joke of my being older and having a baby,” she says candidly, “to show I’m in on the joke.” Many friends of the stylish actress contribute to the profile, including her close pal Emily Blunt, who shares how Green is the perfect match for Miller. “I see so much of her in him…in that free-spirited, curious, guileless thing that he has. He’s the kind of guy you could just bring anywhere, and everyone would love him.” Blunt tenderly adds that Miller has wanted another child for years. “She just needed the right person, and I really see that in him.” To read more, including insight into what happens when Miller and Blunt hit the town together, find the full feature here.

The Frankie Shop heads to London
The Frankie Shop is on the move. The phenomenally popular Lower East Side-based brand, which also has outposts in Manhattan’s Soho and Paris, is set to open a UK location in the coming months. A London boutique is on the horizon, coming in spring 2024 according to founder journalist-turned-entrepreneur Gaelle Drevet (who was also behind Pixie Market). While the brand can be found on the likes of Moda Operandi and Net-a-Porter, it’s another milestone as it continues to expand its offering into menswear and additional categories like homeware objects (see: a recent collaboration with artist Thomas Lélu). In the meantime, The Frankie Shop can be found across the pond at a new pop-up at Selfridges, which launched this week. Watch this space!
