@louisvuitton has snared acclaimed leather goods designer Johnny Coca, WWD has learned. He starts June 2 as women’s fashion leather goods director, a new post working as part of the team lead by Nicolas Ghesquière, Vuitton’s artistic director of women’s collections since 2013. It is understood Coca’s prime focus will be on high-end bags and show pieces. The hire further reinforces the upscaling drive spearheaded by Vuitton chairman and chief executive officer Michael Burke — and adds to a steady addition of top creative and management talent at the fast-growing brand, considered the largest in the luxury sector by revenues.

What will Hamptons partying look like for summer 2020?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Jayma Cardoso the founder of the Surf Lodge, the Montauk hotel, restaurant and music venue that has captured the hearts (and summer weekend late nights) of New York’s most prolific partiers, has found herself mulling what summer 2020 might look like for her business in the face of COVID-19, unsure of digitizing her signature summer concerts but eager to keep things going.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Kicking off Memorial Day weekend, the Surf Lodge is partnering with Governors Ball and Bumble to launch a live digital Sunday sunset concert series, “The Sun Still Sets,” in place of the usual dusk outdoor concert series the Montauk hot spot has become known for. This Sunday’s show will feature Snoop Dogg, Rüfüs Du Sol, Sofi Tukker and Bob Moses.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The musical acts that will be participating throughout the summer are a mix of some of those booked to play this year’s Governors Ball, some Surf Lodge favorites and some new faces.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Report: @leighen ⁣ ⁣ —⁣ #wwdeye⁣ #summer2020⁣ #mdw⁣ #montauk

Harris Reed debuted a graduation collection in lockdown that spread a message of inclusivity.⁣ ⁣ Reed started by thinking beyond the traditional fashion model — and delving further into the message of gender-fluidity and freedom of expression in this season of lockdown, with all graduation showcases having been cancelled in the U.K.⁣ Reed drew inspiration from colorful characters throughout history with a flair for rule breaking, from the rock band New York Dolls, to the British dancer Lindsey Kemp, and Henry Paget, the 5th Marquess of Anglesey, who was known for divorcing his wife and turning the family chapel into a theater to perform plays by Oscar Wilde in gender-bending costumes.⁣ ⁣ The result is a joyful concoction of larger-than-life silhouettes, abstract patterns, historical references — and plenty of flares: A tulle skirt with a giant, hot pink overlay is worn over a tailored suit; a crinoline is placed over dramatic floral high-waisted trousers and pussy-bow shirts one could imagine Harry Styles wearing; while a flared suit features graphic patterns and jazzy metallic patterns. ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: @natalietheodosi
