Night Out with Erin Fetherston for Juicy Couture (Updated!)

A few months ago some of you may have heard the announcement that Juicy Couture hired Erin Fetherston to guest design a collection as well as act as a creative consultant for the brand. She’s currently hard at work on her limited edition collection (including her version of the classic Juicy tracksuit!), and the pieces are slated to launch for holiday. To get us excited about the collaboration Juicy and Erin hosted an intimate dinner at Meet in Soho (complete with Champagne Taittinger Prestige Rosé :-)) followed by some late-night shopping in the Juicy Couture West Village store in NYC (we were actually given a Sony Bloggie to document the happenings!).

I own at least a dozen Juicy sweatpants – all of which I bought freshman year of college from Shopbop. I don’t wear them out in public anymore (I really don’t need a cherry and the word Juicy on my bum at this age!), but I wear them to sleep almost every night. When it comes to loose-fitting, comfy sweatpants, Juicy still makes the most flattering ones. Little did I know they make a whole lot more!

I spoke with Erin Fetherston about what attracted her to the brand and she said she’s always been a fan and thinks her aesthetic meshes well with Juicy’s. She also told me she was most excited to re-work their tracksuit (which is celebrating its 10th anniversary soon!). Fetherston is incredibly sweet, super soft-spoken, model tall, and has the most gorgeous porcelain complexion. Sadly we didn’t get to preview any of her pieces at the event, but she said to expect a mix of dressed-up feminine and more casual pieces. Jump for more on what I discovered in the Juicy Couture boutique and some fun event images!

While Juicy Couture window displays always catch my eye, Tuesday was the first time I actually went inside one of the boutiques. The brand was insanely generous (I’m still in disbelieve actually!), and let us pick any two items from the store we wanted. I was immediately drawn to their Bird section, which I later found out was their slightly higher priced point line. I snapped-up the Bird by Juicy Couture Zoe Striped Cotton Blazer pictured above, which will be great for an upcoming trip I have planned to San Fran, but the item that realllly caught my eye was the Bird by Juicy Couture Leighton Textured Velvet Coat. It looks so-so on the rack, but fabulous on. Very Donna Karan-esque with angular sleeves (seriously try it on, because the photo/mannequin don’t do the cut/texture justice). Unfortunately along with these leather leggings (another editor favorite – they’re seriously like butter), the jacket was one of only two items we weren’t allowed to pick because the store was running low on sizes…so hurry up and try it on if you’re interested!

The other piece I picked up was the cropped Perforated Leather Jacket (not Bird). It’s super fitted and very sexy. So excited to wear it!!

Erin is in the blue in the middle – how perfect are her bangs!!? She is wearing a super hot Juicy Couture romper.

Macarons from Macaron cafe – I literally ate all six yesterday after dinner (I knew I shouldn’t have taken a pack home!). If you like macarons def check-out the cafe. A cute location just opened near my apartment at 625 Madison:) The pack had chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, champagne, coffee, and strawberry – at least that’s what I think from eating ’em all! Champagne and chocolate are the best!


Bloggie and beautifully printed menu!

Lastly, Amanda Garland from Juicy Couture just posted a fab recap and more photos:-)
