That meant many big New York designers — including Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, and Thom Browne — did not have shows. But that allowed younger fashion darlings such as Peter Do, Telfar, and Eckhaus Latta to take center stage. .
Telfar returns, with clothes Telfar Photo: Cathy Horyn Last season, in lieu of a show, Telfar Clemens held a press conference to announce Telfar TV. The rambling, two-hour event felt more like performance art than a presser, so I was wary when Telfar planned to again do something around his TV channel. But he surprised everyone with a delightfully strange event that included plenty of new clothes and accessories as well as a glimpse into the manic energy of Telfar TV.

While his suiting was impeccably thoughtful and beautifully fluid, the bags stole the show. There were double-saddle bags joined at the back holster style and macro cross-body sling bags in luscious leather.

Instead of a traditional show, the brand showcased the premiere episode of The Collinas, which starred Tommy Dorfman as she headed to New York City for the opportunity of an internship at the label.
