Monday morning, back at it again. Here’s what to watch for today.
• Location, location, location. Carolina Herrera broke away from the official NYFW venues a few seasons back for one of her own: the Frick Collection, one of the most beautiful museums in New York. One to look out for there: Raffaele Ilardo, her newly appointed designer.
• A triple play. Jeremy Scott makes the hectic rounds in Los Angeles (where he lives), Milan (where he shows his collection for Moschino) and New York (where he shows his namesake collection, as he will today). He’s wringing as much out of his time in NewYork as possible: He’ll follow the show with an after-party at Flash Factory, then an appearance, to meet fans and sign his Rizzoli monograph, at Bloomingdale’s the next day.
• A man and his best friend. Thom Browne shows his women’s collection this afternoon. The designer, in his customary shorts suit, will be present, but the real V.I.P. is shorter, hairier and quickly gaining a following: His wire-haired dachshund, Hector. Just in time for fashion week, Hector — whose star has been on the rise since Mr. Browne created a handbag in his likeness — has just joined Instagram.
• A girl and her man. Rag & Bone is the latest label to combine its women’s and men’s collections into one fashion show. Its coed spring show arrives this evening.
• Grace: The Book (again). The first collection of Grace Coddington’s work at Vogue, published by Phaidon in 2002, quickly sold out its run and became an impossible-to-get, spare-no-expense collector’s item. It was reissued last year, for those without an unstinting coffee-table-book budget, and is now joined by a second: “Grace: The American Vogue Years.” Calvin Klein, for whom Ms. Coddington briefly worked in design, is having a party in her honor.
• A night at the movies. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Kenzo love a film. Last year, they tapped the “Tangerine” director Sean Baker to shoot a short in Slab City, Calif., and they’ll follow it up this season with a movie by Carrie Brownstein: label pal, rock star, memoirist, “Portlandia” resident and now, director. It screens at the Metrograph with cocktails tonight.
And in case you missed it:
• Is hashtag fashion on the rise?
• The reimagined Band (of Outsiders) plays on.
• Tommy Hilfiger brought the circus to town.
• What draws the stars — Christina Hendricks, Pamela Anderson, Neve Campbell and Kelly Osbourne — to Christian Siriano’s shows? “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again,” Ms. Hendricks said. “Christian loves a ruffle, and so do I.”
