Cinq à Sept expands with new boutique at Newport Beach
New York-based women's ready-to-wear brand Cinq à Sept has announced the opening of a new boutique in Newport Beach, at the Fashion Island Mall. Designed to embody a Parisian apartment, the 1,200-square-foot boutique blends warm neutrals with refined textures, including Venetian plaster walls, brass accents, wood finishes, custom furnishings and an artistic porcelain chandelier. It opens with the brand's Summer 2025 collection, featuring an array of dresses, separates, suiting and footwear embodying the brand's signature femininity. The boutique marks the brand's third standalone retail location and its first in California, following its 2023 flagship debut in SoHo and a Miami opening in late 2024. "California has always felt like home to us, given it's where our company was founded,' said Jane Siskin, founder and CEO of Cinq à Sept. 'Opening our first California store at Fashion Island Mall is a natural evolution—one that deepens the meaningful connections we've built over the years. We're excited to join the vibrant Newport Beach community and create a space where our customers can experience the world of Cinq à Sept.' Founded in 2016, Cinq à Sept has built a loyal following with its modern classics designed to carry a woman from day to night. Most recently, in the fall of 2024, the brand expanded into footwear. Also on the horizon is a handbag collaboration with Scottish accessories brand Strathberry, set to launch in Fall 2025. Looking ahead, the brand plans to roll-out several more brick-and-mortar locations in key markets.

Denim: How To Make Spring's Hottest Trend Office-Appropriate
Rihanna, April 21, 2025 at Giorgio Baldi 'Double denim is back—and chicer than ever,' Harper's Bazaar recently declared. Rihanna proved the point last week, stepping out in head-to-toe denim: dark jeans, a denim jacket and a matching Dior handbag. Her look signaled what fashion insiders already know—denim is no longer just for weekends. That shift comes at a pivotal time. With companies like JPMorgan Chase and Amazon enforcing full-time office returns, and others like Meta and Salesforce adopting hybrid models, professionals are once again dressing for the office. For many, that means moving beyond the sweats and leggings of remote work—and rethinking their work wardrobe. The good news is that denim—once dismissed as too casual for many office settings—is getting a workplace-friendly upgrade. "People always think of jeans as casual,' celebrity stylist Dani Michelle shared, 'but you can really dress them up.' And fortunately for us, the Spring/Summer 2025 runway collections offered a clear roadmap for doing just that. Designers like Cinq à Sept, Kobi Halperin and L'Agence showcased denim dresses, matching pants suits and deconstructed denim separates that seamlessly blend trend and professionalism. Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 looks from l-R: Cinq à Sept, Kobi Halperin, L'Agence To embrace denim in the office, think beyond the basics. Here are a few options if your office dress code leans business casual or creative: Retailers across all price points are embracing the 'denim-in-the-workplace' trend, offering office-appropriate pieces for every budget. For instance, Prada's classic denim shirtdress ($1,850) offers an investment option, while American Eagle Outfitters offers a version for under $30. For a great denim blazer, choices range from Alice + Olivia's Lana jacket ($595) to Amazon's popular $46 alternative. Denim footwear is also trending: L'Agence's Gilliane denim pumps ($325) or Zara's denim ballet flats (under $50) both offer stylish options. If your office policy permits jeans, there are ways to ensure your denim choices align with your office culture. Consider the following: From L:R; Daisy Edgar-Jones, Katie Holmes, Zoe Saldaña, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid As more professionals return to office life, dressing for work is once again part of the daily routine. Fortunately, the evolution of denim means that comfort and professionalism no longer have to be at odds—and that denim can absolutely be part of a sophisticated work wardrobe.
