FEEL FASHION HERE
Each passing season following New York Fashion Week precedes with the delightful ritual of fashion trade shows for orders in the new season. Spring and Summer 2025 haven’t failed so far to entice the senses of fashion infusion from GEN Z, millennial, and a taste of GEN ALPHA. Time warps and an exciting future have turned this DANIEL PLUS LAUREN founder into a huge lover of not only leggings and tights, but 90’s flare and wide leg bottoms. This edition of COTERIE NEW YORK and MAGIC NY Monday here in midtown Manhattan brings together LA from Favorite Daughter, Fair Liar Club/ FLC LA, and Hidden Los Angeles, glam from Gram Glam Boots, and young contemporary by BSL.
FAVORITE DAUGHTER
If you said out loud the above brand to people near and dear to you, a war would break out at home, but luckily this is a lifestyle brand out of Los Angeles, CA. Founded by Erin and Sara Foster, Favorite Daughter is filled with comfort pieces like pullovers, sweatpants, a hearty line of denim, and FD branded pieces you can’t miss. Trousers, blazers, and suiting all year round is loved by consumers, especially around the holidays which are fast approaching. Ivory is also a big driver for Favorite Daughter for your little girl’s big walk down the aisle. Perfumes are clean free of animals (and FD branded). Places to find Favorite Daughter are in Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus, Sac’s Fifth Avenue, and specialty stores.
FAIR LIAR CLUB / F.L.C. LA
Los Angeles, CA has become the focal point of seeking comfortable fashion in your life, giving a little ease to life here in New York City. A huge starter to your life of LA comfort is through Fair Liar Club solving 2 dilemmas where you can wear easy going pieces all the time, plus being part of the a team your squad proudly represents. FLC offers up polyester tops and bottoms for you to freely move around in and are quick drying. Sustainability also plays a key role in mini-hoodies made up of cornstarch blend, as well as pieces produced with sustainable cotton. Pleated tennis skirts also are number one with FLC thanks to “Challengers” starting Zendaya, complete with pockets and built in shorts so skirts can ride up without embarrassment. FLC LA is also out to keep your stretchy wide leg bottoms stain free with stain resistant material that just beads off water or coffee.
GRAM GLAM BOOTS
Entering into the sparkling sphere of fashion, DANIEL PLUS LAUREN and colleague, Patricia Ann Parenti found Gram Glam Boots. Just launching here in 2024, this glamorous dyed denim boot collection with more than 1,100 crystals is the spirit of the founder’s late grandmother. Skyler Porter, who’s the founder of Gram Glam Boots, pursues her passion with a boots celebrating a woman who danced and sung for the Copa Cabana. Feathers also play a huge role in this spirited celebration of showmanship who performed for the hottest club in the world. With its diamond like pattern out of crystals in multiple color options, you immediately feel the stage presence by the spirit of Skyler’s grandmother, as well as a roaring crowd seeing the stage of the Copa Cabana.
HIDDEN LOS ANGELES
Yes, DANIEL PLUS LAUREN did not go in exact order when planning out this piece, but lovingly was inspired by the collections here at the Javits Center. We now move onto MAGIC NY with a return of the LA vibe with a hearty look at denim by Hidden Jeans: Los Angeles. Nothing but denim in every variation such as skinny jeans, mom jeans, wide leg jeans, overalls, dresses, and skirts. Big this season with Hidden LA is the cheetah prints found on multiple pieces, giving an all out edge to this denim obsessed brand. DPL fell madly in love with not only shorts and dresses, but mainly the overalls where DPL got inspired by the bodysuit/ leotard you can wear with this free styling piece.
BSL
We have the power to see into the future, forecasting what young people will wear according to their mood. Landing on the young contemporary of MAGIC NY, there is BSL, a Turkish brand who makes stylish dresses, tops, bottoms, and cute blazers. When you look at the soft patterns of multicolor lines bold colors that make up this soft autumn fabric, you know right away this collection is high-end fashion. The key mission with BSL is producing a fun and exciting collection that’s comfortable on your skin, and is second skin.
CONCLUSION
An astonishing breakthrough for DANIEL PLUS LAUREN at COTERIE NEW YORK/ MAGIC NY was declaring their desire to lounge in a form-fitting top with wide-leg flare jeans. Dawning the love for GEN Z fashion has to be the biggest leap one could make if they’re an existing millennial or even GEN X who originated GEN Z. Hidden Los Angeles like many other LA brands are inspiring DPL to take on the idea of denim, embracing their forever love for skinny jeans with new love for wide leg or flare. But mainly, overall denim paired with turtleneck bodysuit was what stopped DPL in its tracks, dying to perfect themselves to wear this look properly. It’s not only diversity and inclusivity that land here at COTERIE/ MAGIC, but it’s full on high-end style at every comfort or true couture and contemporary level a woman knows she needs.
