The Rothy’s woman is “kinetic, energetic, moving around,” the brand’s creative director Erin Lowenberg said as she padded around the brand’s soon-to-open New York City retail location, in between lauding its new handbags.
It’s the footwear brand’s first foray into the category, with five silhouettes including a convertible handbag, crossbody, clutch, tote and range of catchall bags, all in the notable “poppy” colorways that define the brand.
“We’re not trying to chase high fashion because we believe that our products are modern classics. What we want to do is chase the technology and inspiration behind them and remake them and rethink them for her and her life,” said Lowenberg.
That means being on the customer’s shoulder as well as her feet as Lowenberg enthused, which was the plan all along. Also in the plan is a nimble approach to brick-and-mortar, which already includes Boston; Washington, D.C.; San Francisco — and now New York City.
For the handbags, the 100 percent recycled polyester blended knit is made by combing nearby coastlines for ocean-bound plastics to be used in tandem with the brand’s signature thread spun from single-use plastic water bottles.

North West is following in her famous father’s footsteps.
The six-year-old took the runway at Kanye West’s surprise Yeezy Season 8 runway show on Monday during Paris Fashion Week, performing as models made their walks.
North West rapped against an auto-tuned beat, repeating lines like “yeah, cool, cute,” and “What are those?” as well as a few “woahs” as the fashion crowd cheered her on.
She was later joined by her dad, who smiled proudly at her as she continued performing. While this is her debut performance, she has routinely joined her dad at his regular Sunday Service gatherings, with videos of her dancing and singing going viral.

Stanley McChrystal, a retired four-star general in the U.S. Army, rightfully had a lot to say about leadership, during the “Alchemy of Leadership” talk Saturday morning at Carnegie Hall. As the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, his insights were intercontinental. “There aren’t a series of qualities that you can have to be a perfect leader. It’s much more reacting to the moment, reacting to the requirements of the situation,” he explained at the History Talks event.
Other heavy-hitters like former FCC chairman Michael Powell, former U.S. National Security Adviser and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, West Point professor Elizabeth Samet and Tulane University professor Walter Isaacson also spelled out firsthand accounts of leadership. As the former commander of U.S. and International Security Assistance Forces Afghanistan and the former commander of the premier military counter-terrorism force, Joint Special Operations Command, McChrystal detailed various pinnacle career points including overseeing a 46-nation coalition and 1,700 non-government organizations and “trying to get somewhat unclear set of mission done.” Along with intelligence, state diplomacy and other key pieces, he emphasized the need to get different tribes to work together.
