The Rundown

  • Fresh Receipts — new foundation and new fashion

  • Field Notes — Channel Checking Nordstrom in L.A. plus a few vintage spots

  • Nike Gets a Bid — Brands showing up to rush week

  • In My Feed — random bits I’m loving this week

In this send: More Channel Checks from L.A. plus the brands showing up for RushTok Plus: Suprême Skin Bio-Complex, longer t-shirt sleeves, Comme Si, the Judd, The Grove, Dammit Janet, Paloma Wool, fidget toys, charm-y sandals, Dries Van Noten, work weeks, Ven.Space, YKK zippers and let’s just get into it.

Fresh Receipts

  • Westman Atelier is launching their first liquid foundation — Suprême Skin Bio-Complex in 30 shades. It will retail at Westman Atelier’s website and launching on Sephora too. $69 and this prices it inline with Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation and above m.ph by Mary Phillips Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation also 1 oz but $49. Victoria Beckham’s Foundation Drops retail for $110 for the same size foundation. Westman Atelier’s Foundation Stick is $68,

  • Leset’s August collection has launched with chartreuse as the bright new shade and a gorgeous chore coat in cashmere. It’s luxe! My favorite fit for a t-shirt, the Margo, now comes in Rosso, a tomato-y red. Leset takes their color stories very seriously. I am into the longer sleeves on the Ari, Lauren t-shirt mid-sleeve, and Pointelle t-shirt mid-sleeve. Great for transitional weather and a t-shirt with a fitted sleeve looks fresh and gives the option of more coverage.

  • Comme Si’s new Drawstring Linen Bermuda is classic, easy, and simple. Comes in black and cream. The longer length shorts have been a style hero this summer but surprisingly it is the short shorts that are taking the top of the trend lists.

  • Jamie Haller released a new boot, the Judd. Inspired by country music with a city feel. The boot comes in a beautiful deep olive and a light tan suede.

Thanks for reading Private Label. Send this to someone who loves to shop or retail.

Field Notes

If you are in East Hampton this week go check out Resee at 94 Newtown Lane. They have a fantastic vintage edit online.

More Channel Checks from L.A.

This past weekend I shared the teen scene from The Grove in L.A. I should mention we did skip Brandy Melville because we didn’t have enough time to squeeze everything in. I had a lot of thoughts at the Nordstrom at The Grove so I saved it for today.

Behind the paywall I’m sharing my thoughts on the SPACE: Emerging & Advanced Designer Brands at Nordstrom from Channel Checks at Nordstrom. A few vintage spots we visited too around L.A.

And Nike is showing up on RushTok and how they matched with sororities.
