This is the week for out-of-the-box pop-ups. We’re familiar with the good-for-business “capsule collection” and the fashion-as-art installation, but Odin is promoting a project called “A Milliner’s Story: Albertus Swanepoel” as a “capsule installation.” Mr. Swanepoel enlisted fashion friends to create mannequins for his limited-edition creations. Those include an oversize bowler in vintage blue and white houndstooth that sits on a Duckie Brown form covered in googly eyes. At 199 Lafayette Street.
The evocatively named urban beach shop Warm will play host to a boutique from, well, the beach: Evoke, which hails from the surf town of Sayulita on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Through Aug. 6, stop in for south-of-the-border wares like cotton voile dresses and hand-glazed pottery without leaving NoLIta. At 181 Mott Street.
Sales and Events
On Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. Clare Vivier will have a trunk show at the Standard with free monogramming on accessories like a tan leather clutch with red, white and blue stripes At 442 West 13th Street.
On Thursday and Friday, Tia Cibani will have a sale at her studio with all items — think striped peach pencil skirt with side flounce — 80 percent off. At 3 Ninth Avenue, second floor.
The Brooklyn-based vintage e-commerce site will have monthly sales at its new Greenpoint office. From Thursday to Saturday, look for bargain-basement-priced finds like a MaxMara mini or a Giambattista Valli tie-waist dress , up to 80 percent off. At 37 Greenpoint Avenue, third floor.
Hitting the Racks
There’s actually another Target collaboration before 3.1 Phillip Lim drops in September: Orla Kiely for Belkin is a range of cheery protective gear for iPhones and iPads, like a pink floral phone case . At 517 East 117th Street.
Rising Sun & Co., the Los Angeles workshop that makes premium denim on machines from the early 1900s, has done a 15-piece run of a jacket in a vintage indigo-dyed fabric for the Williamsburg men’s wear emporium H. W. Carter & Sons. At 127 North Sixth Street, Brooklyn.
And at Bergdorf Goodman, the first pre-fall collection from the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nominee Misha Nonoo is in store. It includes beautifully tailored pieces like a flared dress in crepe with silk organza sleeves .
