Amber Valletta fronts Simkhai’s Pre-Fall 2023 campaign
Can you say dream team? Endearing supermodel and sustainably-minded tastemaker Amber Valletta is starring front and center in the new Simkhai Pre-Fall campaign, shot by Drew Vickers and styled by Camilla Nickerson. In the sophomore campaign since the brand re-envisioned its creative approach, Valletta embodies the Simkhai woman in a barely-there beauty look and seasonless staples from the brand, such as structured suiting, form-fitting knitwear, and timeless tailoring. Oh, and that gold Bridget shell clutch that continuously does the rounds on TikTok’s best dressed wedding guests. It being Simkhai, who we’ve come to depend on for effortlessly elegant occasionwear too, the Pre-Fall 2023 collection presents a crystal fringe white maxi dress and a two piece black beaded ensemble, as well as an oversized blazer dress cinched with a crystal carabiner trim that will see you through dress code after dress code, year after year. Peep the campaign below:

John Slattery and his wife Talia Balsam were joined by chic East Enders for a private and intimate screening of Maggie Moore(s), a real-life inspired tale directed by the actor which sees his one-time Mad Men co-star Jon Hamm as a small town detective investigating the murders of two women with the same name. For the oceanfront outdoor screening which was hosted at a beautiful private home and supported by Brunello Cucinelli and Air Mail, guests gathered to kick of the evening with cocktails in the sand and a buffet feast from caterer-to-the-stars Mary Giuliani. (Popcorn? So passé.)

Ralph Lauren set to return to NYFW
ICYMI: The titan of American design is readying to make his NYFW comeback. Ralph Lauren will show on the calendar this September, marking the first time the brand has joined the schedule since September 2019. The show is slated to take place on the evening of Friday, September 8, but an exact venue is not yet known.

Sara and Erin Foster team up with Saint Jane
Pucker up! Sara and Erin Foster of Favorite Daughter have made their first foray into beauty, with a collaboration with clean skincare brand Saint Jane. Their new Luxury Lip Oil duo is aptly named Calm & Chaos (does anything sum up a sisterly dynamic better?!) and features two natural, hydrating lip oils with nourishing ingredients like Vitamin C, chamomile, and aloe. Calm, Erin’s favorite, is a sheer, subtle nude which works alone as an all-day or overnight option, as well as over all your go-to lippies for a plump but never-sticky finish, while Sara’s favorite, Chaos, is a deeper tone that amps up your makeup look from day to evening in one quick application.
