Golden Goose Outlet parks are filled

Now in Phase 4, apartment dwellers have returned to their nightly neighborhood strolls, and Golden Goose Outlet parks are filled with socially distanced picnics. The bustle of the city has far from returned to its usual deafening hum of honking, beeping, huffing, and puffing, but there is a liveliness in the air. It feels the way I imagine Florence might have felt during the ’60s-only with face masks and smartphones.

For the rest of us, the first drop from the collab is the wear-everywhere Sand Dune sandal, which is a warm-weather update on the hardwearing resilience of Mellon’s classic Easy Rider boot. If you’re the type of person who can’t wait to step out in heels again, the rugged but architectural Sun Valley heel will be available on June 15. And the mid-calf length, pull-on, lug-sole Escape boot drops on June 27.

This year, Vogue editors are eyeing a mixture of items that certainly embody the spirit of the warm weather, like picnic-worthy crop tops and all-white linen dresses.

Bach Mai has electric blue hair and Vietnamese immigrants for parents. He is not a couturier of the old school, but he doesn’t lack for atelier experience. A graduate of Parsons, he was assisting in the first studio at Oscar de la Renta during the fall 2013 season that John Galliano created a capsule collection for the New York designer. Not long after, with a master’s degree from Paris’s Institut Franais de la Mode, Mai went to work for Galliano as he established himself at Maison Margiela.
