Laurenelle’s collection was the morning highlight, bringing a fresh perspective to the scene with designs that felt both accessible and aspirational. The intimate setting allowed for up-close interactions with the pieces, making it easy to appreciate the craftsmanship and detail behind each garment. The soft natural light flooding through the loft’s large windows only added to the ambiance, making it feel like an exclusive yet intimate fashion gathering.

Whitney Brielle, Fashion Editor of GL Mag and CEO of PLZ ADD SALT, added to the event’s allure. Her tableside talk on brand building and fashion scaling felt more like a friendly conversation than a formal presentation, which suited the laid-back atmosphere perfectly. Guests were encouraged to ask questions, making it a collaborative and engaging experience. The morning wrapped up with a live piano performance that set the mood for more champagne and casual consultations with industry experts from Maxx MGMT.

Overall, the event felt like the perfect balance of luxury and relaxation—exactly what you’d want from a NYFW morning in SoHo. Laurenelle’s collection, in particular, was a breath of fresh air, and the whole experience was an excellent reminder of why we love New York Fashion Week.
