H&M unveiled their brand new Soho store renovation last night, using the expansive space (10,000 square foot!) to host models, tastemakers, and more ahead of NYFW. Actress Hunter Schafer was joined by models of the moment Alex Consani, Amelia Gray Hamlin, and Iris Law, who gave us a taste of the H&M Studio Spring Summer ’24 collection—we’ll take Schafer’s slinky scarlet gown, please!—which was also on display on the rails ahead of its launch date of February 29. Attendees gathered for photo ops, enjoyed music by two of fashion’s fave DJs, Amrit and Mia Moretti, and had a gander at the state-of-the-art smart mirrors and pickup lockers. In addition to the slick modern features, the store houses a secondhand shop-in-shop featuring curated preloved pieces from the brand. Also in attendance were Diane Kruger, Justine Skye, Isaac Hindin-Miller, Aaron Rose Philip, Aweng Ade-Chuol, Quannah ChasingHorse, CT Hedden, Alioune Badara Fall, Alyssa Coscarelli, Casimere Jollette, Drew Jessup, Yvesmark Chery, Karen Blanchard, and many more.

Veronica Beard celebrates launch of handbags
Have you heard? Veronica Beard has added handbags to the brand’s popular assortment. To share a glimpse at the new arm candy, co-designers Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard got a chic crew together for a luncheon in Beverly Hills. The guestlist included entertainment and fashion notables, including Julianne Hough, Poppy Delevingne, Rachel Zoe, Mandy Moore, Kathy Hilton, Brianne Howey, Jasmine Tookes, Roselyn Sanchez, Elaine Welteroth, and Morgan Stewart, who gathered at the Chateau Marmont. (The venue was a sweet choice, being the location that the designers held their first-ever fashion show a decade ago!). Over gin gimlets, guests also perused a fun Goody Bag Bar station, where they could pick items loved by the design duo to fill their own Veronica Bag totes with. Think: beauty musts, notebooks and pens, accessories, and more.
