Coach's Summer Bash on the High Line

My former employer Coach definitely knows how to party.  They threw a fantastic summer bash at one of my favorite places in NYC, the High Line park.  The best of New York designers, entertainers, artists of all mediums came out to dance to throwback tunes of De La Sol.

Fans Kate Mara and Chloe Moretz carried some of Coach's new Rhyder messenger bags and fringe cross-body bag while they chatted with friend Keri Russell.  New creative director Stuart Vevers mingled with many of the longtime supporters of the brand.

It was a great partnership to support non-profit group Friends of the High Line who were behind the building of Manhattan's coolest public park... The new Coach headquarters are close neighbors. In a company of jaded fashion industry vets, I have never seen a crew so excited about moving thei offices.

Chloe Sevigny wore the red and black houndstooth silk dress for the upcoming fall season that I loved when working on it in development a few months ago.  That collection changed up my idea of what Coach sportswear could be.  It was a modern twist on classic patterns and shapes.  Actually, that sentence pretty  much sums up all the cool things they are doing across the entire company.

Shout-out to the ladies in technical design!
