Celine Spring IRL

Spring collections are slowly coming into stores, so I popped into Celine and picked up a blue shirt and sandals with a walkable heel. They instantly transition my winter uniform into spring.

Celine FW26

Michael Rider hit the cover off the ball with his third Celine show. Loads of fabulous outerwear and boots — the FW26 collection brims with covetable items.

Want To Edit A Fashion Magazine? You’ll Need A Newsletter To Do That.

Long gone are the days when editing a fashion magazine was the sum of the job. We saw Anna in the office and in photos from shows and events—but a newsletter of her favorite products and vacation pics? Unthinkable. Today’s EICs share everything: outfits, styling tips, family holiday snaps, travel guides, beauty must-haves, even gym selfies. Personal life content is now required for the role.

Will You Wear Stirrup Pants?

Stirrup pants are on the FW26 runways, most notably in the Stella McCartney and Jil Sander collections, vintage Elin Kling, and I’m going to test drive the Leset pair that I saw on Puck below right. Anyone else game?

From The Runways

A few things that caught my eye: the blue shirt layered under a crewneck sweater at Prada, two incredible coats and must-have shoes in Pieter Mulier’s final Alaïa collection, and the Fendi Baguettes—all wishlist-worthy. And, yes, black is everywhere.

Helmut Lang Séance De Travail 1986-2005 MAK Vienna

Yesterday I was in Vienna to see Helmut Lang Séance De Travail at MAK (Museum of Applied Arts). The exhibition draws from the largest — and only official public — archive dedicated to Helmut Lang’s fashion legacy. A celebrated artist, Helmut presents his first comprehensive exhibition of fashion from 1986–2005 — a stunning retrospective of a defining era.

I cast Helmut’s shows from 2000-2005 — first in NYC, then Paris. When he decided to show back in Paris, I gave up LV with Marc to stay with Helmut. All the work that went into producing his shows is on display in the exhibition: walls filled with videos of collections and the backstage chaos, photographs from fittings, and a large-scale installation with the seating chart from the Spring 2004 show at the Tennis Club de Paris. So many people from the HL family and wonderful memories.

It was especially fun to spot a photograph of my desk, complete with my trusty Polaroid camera and the list of models we’d selected for the show — I promise the handcuffs were not used to keep the models from wandering off 😉

A great few hours in Vienna — gorgeous weather and a beautiful view of Paris from the return flight.

Bits & Bobs

March 1, and I have zero commitments this month—whoop whoop! I closed out February by helping host an event for Belle Burden, author of Strangers. Belle was interviewed by the writer Kate Betts, and it was one of the best author talks I’ve attended. We had a packed house, and it went off without a hitch—a serious win-win. Strangers is a must-read, and Belle could not have been lovelier or more generous with her time. Inspired by all the black leather on the NY runways, I wore this Proenza Schouler skirt to the talk. I am trying not to wear so much grey, and this was a nice alternative.

I was eagerly awaiting Maria Grazia Chiuri’s debut collection for Fendi. The blazer over a dress is my favorite look.

Grant Ginder’s So Old, So Young is excellent! I read it in two days.

I posted on the Augustinus Bader x Sofia Coppola Tinted Lip Balm when it first launched. It is great, and I’ve recently been wearing shade 3, a burnt plum—it’s more of a stain than a lipstick, which is ideal. I read about the La Pyae Apothecary fragrance Catch Me If I Fall on Puck and immediately ordered a full bottle—something I never do. It’s a tad more floral than I expected, but I love it nonetheless.

And it is spring with a capital S in Paris. I am on the hunt for a crossbody bag to wear under a jacket and the Hermès Sac Petite Course has my name on it.

To Hear, Read, & Watch

Depending on which storm model you believe, we’re either getting a ton of snow this weekend — or none at all. Already a bit housebound, I’ve been listening to the soundtrack to True Love and have just started Tangerinn. Author Emanuela Anechoum’s writing has been likened to Elena Ferrante and Sally Rooney — high praise. If we get no snow, I’m going to catch William Eggleston: The Last Dyes at David Zwirner before it comes down on March 7.

A Golden Fleece

This Fforme shearling tops my Fall 2026 wishlist. My Toteme cream shearling got so much wear during the frigid start of the year — perfect for those days when a parka just feels a bit ho-hum.

Bits & Bobs

Here are a few things on my radar: the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar France has a terrific accessories story, and I love the bags in the two images above. I took a page from a Disneyrollergirl post on doubling up — instead of hauling around an overstuffed tote, I’ve been carrying two bags together. Thanks, Navaz!

Lauren Groff’s new book of stories, Brawler, comes out February 24 — a belated Valentine’s Day gift to myself. One of my other favorite Valentine’s presents is paper geraniums from The Green Vase. They last forever and require no watering.

I’m on the hunt for slim, straight-leg jeans; Puck’s Lauren Sherman wrote about a few pairs I’m eager to try.

And Moses Martin is all grown up, with a band of his own. People I’ve Met has two songs out, and they’re worth a listen.
