Dree Hemingway for Sandro

>> Model Dree Hemingway has teamed up with French contemporary label Sandro to design a 10-piece capsule collection. "The inspiration was growing up in Idaho and men's rock climbing books from the '70s," Hemingway explains of the boho-tinged linen T-shirts, breezy frocks, print-accented skinny jeans, and silk maxi dresses that populate the collection. Click through for a peek at the entire capsule, which lands online and in Sandro stores — including the brand's recently opened two New York outposts — this March.

    • CFDA to Leave Garment District

    Designers Disappointed by CFDA's Impending Relocation

    >> The CFDA has decided to move from its current location in the Garment District to a new residence in downtown Manhattan, leaving some New York designers none too pleased. "We are extremely disappointed by the CFDA's decision to leave the Garment Center," said Nanette LePore, whose husband, Bob Savage, has been a staunch proponent of the Save the Garment Center campaign. "We only hope this does not signal the end of their previous support for New York City manufacturing and emerging American designers."

    For its part, the CFDA has stressed that the decision has nothing to do with a lack of support for the Garment District, a neighborhood the CFDA has always championed. "We are not abandoning anything," The CFDA's chief executive officer, Steven Kolb, told WWD. "We considered buildings in the Garment District significantly in our search. The criteria by which we were finding space was ultimately based not on neighborhood, but what the best space for a functioning office for the CFDA was." Kolb went on to say that the Council had outgrown its current space, adding "we are busting out of the seams."

    CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg echoed the sentiment: "We needed a very large space so we can have board meetings and clinics there. We found a great space with a great deal, and that's that. We looked for a long time." Von Furstenberg added that she will always think of the CFDA as "the soul of the Garment District."

    The CFDA has signed a 10-year lease at its new location at Bleecker Street and Broadway, with plans to move this Summer.
