Gigi Hadid’s Knitwear Label Just Dropped A Soon-To-Be Sold-Out Collection

And just like that, summer is coming to an end. While the August heat brings more laidback soirées spent in proper air conditioning, the dog days of summer simply don’t apply to the style industry. Even though the next round of A-list affairs won’t pick up speed until September (mark your calendar for the Emmy Awards and Fashion Week), the last month of the season does supply an assortment of noteworthy fashion news. Between new and exciting storefronts, launches, and collaborations, these updates are guaranteed to alleviate the burgeoning post-summer blues.

If you’re looking to stock your closet before fall, you’re in luck because a few major stores will open in August. For starters, Givenchy opened a permanent flagship store on Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive that’s already drawn in quite a crowd. Around the same time, Axel Arigato announced the launch of its first-ever shop, as well. The Sweden-based label will make its American debut in Manhattan in mid-September. What’s more, Parisian street style label, ba&sh completed its summer-long pop-up streak in the Hamptons with a bang. Toward the end of the month, it offered a limited run of statement-making hats from emerging NYC brand, Cafe Society.

But wait — there’s more. This month, various celebrity-filled campaigns dropped left and right. Bright and early on August 1, the month started off strong thanks to Cardi B’s photoshoot with Marc Jacobs. With the atelier’s Lil Link purse in hand, the mom-to-be tapped into the designer-approved zebra print renaissance in a patterned mini dress. WNBA breakout athlete, Angel Reese also made headlines this month. She collaborated with Reebok on a collection of clothes and footwear — in the corresponding ad, Reese shimmered in a metallic silver workout set that’s practically made for pilates princesses. And then there’s Chloë Bailey, who posed as the campaign star of the Lizzo-led shapewear brand, Yitty.

Givenchy Opens Permanent Flagship Store On Rodeo Drive

Believe it or not, Givenchy only has nine stores in the U.S. In August, the atelier reached double digits with a location on Rodeo Drive. The home of Givenchy’s first-ever flagship on the West Coast consists of a nearly 8,000-square-foot structure designed by renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. “For Givenchy’s first permanent store in L.A., it was important to select a space that would resonate with our brand,” Valerie Leon, president of the Americas at Givenchy shared in a release. “Given Hubert de Givenchy’s love of art and architecture, the Frank Lloyd Wright building felt like the right choice, and the opportunity to bring Givenchy to life there was inspiring,” she added.

Inside the all-white geometric building, which opened in 1954, customers are able to shop Givenchy’s entire Pre-Fall 2024 collection, as well as a few selected pieces from the label’s Fall/Winter 2024 line. Expect structured suits in a variety of neutrals, summer-to-fall transitional wear, and autumnal maxi dresses on the racks and shelves.

In a second set-up, the multi-hyphenate swapped her body-hugging mini dress for another Marc Jacobs moment: an autumnal fur coat also in zebra print. Regardless of how eye-catching her textured topper was, the focus of the ‘fit was Marc Jacobs’ fiery red Tote Bag, which is shockingly still available to shop.
