Marc Jacobs toasts to reopened Soho store with a major bash
To fête the reopening of his brand’s Soho flagship, Marc Jacobs wasn’t going to just put on any old store party. Rather, the designer did things properly, with an underground bash at The Mercer Hotel’s Sartiano’s and Submercer with an almost-festival worthy bill of performances from Debbie Harry and ShyGirl and DJ sets throughout the night by No Vacancy Inn, Pedro Cavalieri, Mona Matsuoka, and DJ Pelvis. ICYMI—and how could you, with the vibrant yellow Marc Jacobs monogram staring back at you—the nearby Prince Street store flung its doors open again on September 19. Seeing as he’s called the neighborhood his playground for two decades, Jacobs was fittingly trusted to ring in the new era at Submercer (the Mercer Hotel’s private lounge reimagined by Scott Sartiano and the BOND Hospitality team) too. Joining in the fun were Helena Christensen, Jenna Lyons, June Ambrose, Kelela, Lil Uzi Vert, Prabal Gurung, Tina Leung, Tommy Dorfman, CT Hedden, and Ubah Hassan, among many others.

Aritzia hosted its first Power Lunch, at Angie Mar’s Le B
If any brand knows the power of women coming together, it’s Aritzia. The proof is in the numbers: the company’s workforce is 85% women. CEO Jennifer Wong was in town from Canada to raise a glass to that, and then some, giving attendees at the brand’s inaugural Power Lunch a little insight into her staggering 36-year journey at the company; from an employee at the third-ever store to climbing the ladder all the way to the role of chief executive. The gathering took place at powerhouse Chef Angie Mar’s newly-opened eatery Le B—right next door to the former Beatrice Inn. Taking their seats among the plush navy velvet banquettes and marveling at the dining room’s Picasso, guests enjoyed the almost bygone concept of a leisurely lunch and traded career stories over a martini or Aperol Spritz or two (it’s happy hour somewhere, after all…). The event welcomed powerhouses including Rajni Jacques,, Kate Berry, Kerry Pieri, Sarah Slutsky, Jilly Hendrix, Estelle Bailey-Babenzien, Deja Foxx, and many more…..all wearing polished pieces by Aritzia, of course.
