Increasingly, taste is keen on providing a moment as well as a fashion show. At New York make week, Coach was no different. The venue for the Tuesday afternoon 1941 usher, a warehouse space on the Hudson, was transformed into a movie set: glittery sand underfoot and overlooked by a huge dinosaur made of rusty salvaged metal. Absent, there was a shopping trolley, and a burnt-out car. Think the world of Mad Max Savagery Road, but with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg and Lakeith Stanfield and work models as its inhabitants.

Created in 1941, and originally selling men’s leather goods, Coach’s lookouts stood for affordable luxury in mid-century America. Many of the myriad popular styles were designed by Bonnie Cashin, who persuaded at the company for 12 years from 1962. The clasp she old has been championed by Vevers, a nice touch tying birthright and modern together.
