The transparent first looks pay homage to fresh-faced optimism: vulnerability, hope, and limitless first layers in both dress and mindset.

Just as the city shapes its inhabitants, so too does our collection evolve. From custom signature ‘NY’ initials and apple-heart pendants to modernist assemblage of hoop earrings, hand sculpted by Ariana Boussard-Reifel, the diverse and multifaceted nature of New York becomes a transformative force, infusing individuals with a vibrancy that inspires them to experiment and express themselves in novel ways using clothes as a vehicle for joy.

Gradually, their own New York identity crystallizes, and they find a unique uniform derived from lived and shared experiences that not only suits them but is etched with the inimitable signatures of this city allowing us all to cement our footing and eventually call New York home.

Our ID family of bags evolves into new iterations of our classic, ageless silhouettes.

Overlooking the Manhattan Bridge and historic Bowery in Chinatown, the Spring/Summer 2024 set pulls inspiration from the city and the community we celebrate. Models entered and exited scaffolding draped in voile, stepping into light inspired by an afternoon walk in Columbus Park.

An original score composed by long-time collaborator Sebastien Perrin took attendees through a cinematic journey of hope and perseverance, punctuated with field recordings of New York City's everyday life.
