Thom Browne is kicking off NYFW on a personal note this season—literally. Before the Week began, the designer took to the CFDA’s Instagram to share an encouraging letter for the city’s fashion design community. “We must remind the world why they should pay attention to these stories…however we decide to communicate them…but the most important thing is to communicate them in our own ways…and nobody else’s,” Browne wrote. The CFDA chairman closed with further elaborations on the importance of designers marching to the beat of their own drum, valuing their ideas, and embrace originality. Cheers to that!

It’s a Stella-bration! Stella McCartney toasted her latest Adidas collaboration with a massive party at her slick Soho store. Co-hosted with it-girl Alex Consani—who also fronts the collab’s campaign—the event was one of the night’s most memorable ahead of Fashion Week. Guests were greeted with vegan burgers and fries (plus plenty of cocktails!) to stay sustained throughout the night. Naturally, the guest list was equally full of it-girls and guys, including Gabbriette, Lila Moss, Leni Klum, Garrett Neff, Christian Bendek, Jake Fleming, Monet Nejon, Tefi Pessoa, Dev Apollon, Dominic Augustin, Sam Hartman, Alfonso Fernandez Navas, Emma Mannswirth, EJ Briones, Jemima Kirke, Elana Fishman, and more.

Held in the soaring lobby of the Hall Des Lumières, Natalie De-Banco’s latest line was packed with sexy sheer minidresses, crystal-coated power suits, and sultry shorts suits in hues of red, pink, and lavender. In fact, her newest designs were inspired by the confidence of everyone’s favorite publicist: Sex and the City‘s Samantha Jones. Guests included Coco Rocha, Hilaria Baldwin, Brooke Frischer, Bella Gerard, Emily DiDonato, Serena Pitt, Chantal Monaghan, Nana Agyemang, Emira D’Spain, Giza Timonier, Katya Tastolva, Danielle Carolan, Francesca Noel, Karen Blanchard, and more.

“She’s not scared to attract attention and be in the center of it—she’s powerful and confident,” De-Banco exclusively told The Daily Front Row of this season’s muse. “She’s going to work, she can go to an event, she can go to a dog park in feathers. She’s in New York!”
