A standing ovation for dark red and powder blue.
The colorway is (still) on the minds and in the hearts of fashion, design, and everywhere else.
Hi! I just hit 1,500 subscribers and if you’re reading this, thanks so much for being here. :,) I’d love to hear from you in the comments about what you want to see from me in the future.
In April I curated a letter entirely through the lens of what I proclaimed the hottest colorway: dark red and powder blue. Since then it’s become clear that this colorway is indeed very hot. It’s shown up everywhere, from friends' dinner parties to Emma Chamberlin’s wardrobe, and also in my DMs. I don’t know how it’s already been two months since we first spoke about THE colorway, but it’s come to my attention that we should talk about it even more– and that I can’t argue with. So I present an updated round-up of dark red & powder blue that’s been on our minds, out in the world, and in our hearts:
A now-long gone Live Auctioneers listing sent by my friend and former boss, Jenny.
Napkins at a dinner hosted by my very talented friends of s.lab in Miami.
A MAGNIBERG moment in the bathroom at Beverly’s.

who authors the fabulous ‘Sarah’s Retail Diary’ after spending 2+ decades in retail, incl. as a buyer at William’s Sonoma and Bloomingdales. Highly recommend her letter!
This Marimekko ad I got like 12 times this week. They are having a 50% off sale btw if that’s your thing.
On my friend Arjan’s story at Anonymous Copenhagen during last week’s 3DD.
Emma Chamberlin celebrating her namesake coffee brand’s Target launch. Looking stun.
This now sold-out SUNNEI handbag. Slightly off on the blue, but still.
Did you catch this HAY x Asics collab that launched last week? Tbh, I thought there was was a dark red and blue colorway upon first glance– HAY has been sporting the pairing for some time. But I’ve literally just realized it’s brown and blue. Oh well, I still think this collab is fun!
Alright that’s all I have for you, what did I miss?
Forever underrated!!!
been using this combo lately and feeling validated and on trend! ha
