“I’m kind of fixated on that skant at Bottega,” says the store’s senior vice president and women’s fashion and store presentation director, referring to the hybrid skirt-pant style. “It’s a classic, but it’s been twisted out. I always need a little bit of something that feels like a fantasy.” Speaking of fantasies, she can’t get enough of the avant-garde creations of Sacai and Junya Watanabe. And one staple piece is always in her arsenal: “I’ve got a black turtleneck under my leopard suit today.”

“Bohemian style isn’t going anywhere and it’s just picking up momentum,” Moda’s chief merchandising and marketing officer says. “So I’m excited to embrace a bit more of my bohemian side, with Chloé being the anchor designer in that.” She’s also a fan of Proenza Schouler’s nautical stripes and Victoria Beckham’s puff-sleeved bomber jacket.

“I basically want to dress like Patrick Bateman,” jokes the site’s chief buying officer, who’s drawn to the oversized coats and suiting we saw on the runway. And she is zeroing in on bubble skirts, which she sees as the evolution of summer’s microshorts craze.
