Suzie Kondi, Ba&sh Release Summer Fashion Collaboration
Ba&Sh and Suzie Kondi have teamed up to debut a limited-edition collaboration of fun-loving, summer-ready fashions.
'We've got a very similar spirit,' said Kondi, the Australian-born, New York-based designer of the partnership, who worked in collaboration with Ba&sh founders Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief to bring together the accessible luxury brand's Parisian elan with her Australian spirit. They were inspired by the '60s French riviera and with the 'flavor of the Hamptons,' she said, which both evoke ease and the joy of summer.

The 27-piece collection plays into this mindset with adorable beach-to-street matching sets such as a cherry red boucle halter top and midi skirt or skin-baring layers in terry — a signature of Kondi's label. It also plays into nostalgia with nautical-striped layers and 'The Hamptons' slogan sweatshirts and vintage-inspired T-shirts.
'There's always a little bit of a nod to France and Paris, but certainly with a more bohemian edge,' Kondi added of their adorable cotton crochet twinsets and fitted bloomers, available in navy and ivory, and macramé leather tote. The collaborative collection, priced $160 to $455, is available on both brand's e-commerce, in select global retail stores and with select Ba&sh retail partners, including Bloomingdale's.
To celebrate the collaboration throughout the summer, Suzie Kondi and Ba&sh are providing a four-week dedicated 'jitney' bus to transport guests between each brands' downtown New York store to their Hamptons locations.
'Whenever I think of the Hamptons, I think of the jitney — everybody takes it, and I've always wanted to do this,' Kondi said of the activation. 'It really marries our city store and our Hampton store and it gives Ba&sh this introduction to our client that's really established out there.'
The bus, wrapped in the collaboration's campaign imagery photographed by Cass Bird, will be free and open to the public every day from Friday to July 20, with tickets available to reserve on Eventbrite.Best of WWD

As Sean Combs Took a Victory Lap, He Planned Sex Nights, Prosecutors Say
It was September 2023, and Sean Combs was on top of the world. On the 12th day of that month, he accepted the global icon award at the MTV Video Music Awards, which recognized Mr. Combs's decades of success as a trailblazing record producer and media mogul. Three days later, he released 'The Love Album: Off the Grid,' his first solo studio LP in 17 years, and Mayor Eric Adams of New York gave him the key to the city, recognizing Mr. Combs as 'the embodiment of the New York City attitude.' That month, Mr. Combs was also busy planning sexual encounters involving his girlfriend 'Jane' and hired male escorts, at hotels in New York and Miami Beach, Fla. These encounters, which the government has described as elaborate, drug-fueled sex marathons with hired men that Mr. Combs coerced two women to participate in, are central to the government's case, which charges Mr. Combs with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The arrangements for those encounters — flight plans, hotel reservations, negotiations over escort rates and a web of payments — were laid out in detail at Mr. Combs's trial on Monday. Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor in the case, asked a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations to walk jurors through the planning of the events by reading from text messages, American Express bills and other records as the 34th and final witness for the government before it rests its case. Mr. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied the accusations against him. His lawyers have argued consistently throughout the seven-week trial that Mr. Combs's sexual arrangements were all consensual, and that no criminal conspiracy exists. Want all of The Times?

Gabrielle Chanel's Idyllic Villa on the French Riviera Has Been Restored to Exactly the Way She Left It. Vogue Took A Look Inside
Dusk is settling over Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, and little puffs of red dust are flying into the jasmine-scented air as acclaimed dancers Boris Charmatz and Johanna Lenke move fluidly around the clay tennis court at La Pausa, the idyllic villa Gabrielle Chanel had designed according to her exacting specifications in 1929. It's hard to know what her paramour the Duke of Westminster would have made of the cinematic—and supremely physical—duet that unfolded in front of a crowd of artists, curators, collectors, and patrons on Friday evening, but he doubtless observed some more traditional athletic confrontations during his summers spent with Chanel on the French Riviera. The grand hall at La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel's clifftop retreat overlooking the Bay of Monaco. Courtesy of Chanel The designer made her clifftop retreat La Pausa (meaning 'the pause'), a haven for artists and intellectuals in the 1930s and '40s, inviting the likes of Jean Cocteau, Pierre Reverdy and Luchino Visconti to while away summer evenings among the ancient olive trees and beds of fragrant lavender sloping gently towards the Bay of Monaco. 'After dinner,' reads a Vogue report of a night at La Pausa in the late 1930s, 'the rugs are suddenly rolled up… Salvador Dalí amuses himself with a large borrowed black hat, mimicking a character from the Inquisition. The Duchess of Gramont, draped in brocade, jingles her Indian jewels, while painter Christian Bérard sports an Easter egg on top of his head, and Coco ties wide whimsical ribbons in her hair.'
