Sitting next to Vogue and Vanity Fair contributor Rachel Marlowe at the dinner last night felt a bit like landing in the best possible seat for fashion-media water cooler talk. Between courses, I interrogated her for Condé Nast intel—Chloe Malle, Anna Wintour, the Oscar party—and was rewarded with an off-the-record download that made me wish dinners lasted two hours longer. But while those stories stay in the vault, I am here today to share other news. First up: ’s new spring collection, which somehow still gives me the same feeling it did when I first started wearing her dresses almost a decade ago—easy but glamorous without trying too hard. I actually met Natalie through my sister; they each had kids the same age, and then years ago on vacation in Mexico, Gwyneth Paltrow stopped me to ask where my dress was from. I told her about Natalie, and not long after the dresses showed up on and promptly sold out. One of those moments you can’t plan but feel oddly proud of in a low-key way, mostly because good things find their audience when they deserve to. And here we are again with this , and I’m just as enamored. See the and (!), below. Also very much into the right now, the colored knits (, please!), and . And ’s limited-edition jeans just launched, created with denim wizard Benjamin Tally Smith (who also consults and designs jeans for Khaite, Ulla Johnson, Re/Done, etc and known for seriously flattering denim), might be some of the best fits on the market at the moment. I am jumping on the , below, with the fringe-y hem. And finally, ’s newest collection, designed by Clare Waight Keller, the British designer known for her beautifully tailored, modern work at Chloé and Givenchy. The ($69), last pic, in spot-on shades are clean, chic, and destined to disappear from shelves pretty much immediately.
