District L

The Raveonettes are a melodious nod towards the sepia-washed return of 1970s style. Reinvented with a more modern application of the synth, The Raveonettes provide a playlist that's perfect for the feathered, ankle-grazing and breezy looks of summer.

As relaxed as the leisure suit, yet as distinguishable as a floral print, The Raveonettes will bring their buoyant tunes to South Street Seaport - Pier 17 on Sunday, July 31.

10 Crosby, Derek Lam's recently-launched diffusion line, might be touted as the designer's response to society's increasing nonchalance and decreasing disposable income -- but in reality, this high-quality label will be just as rare to spot on any given R train.

10 Crosby, named after the company's headquarters, maintained Derek Lam's downtown flair by tapping into the prevailing athletic-inspired trend. Model, Hanne Gaby Odiele, turned the showroom into her own personal jungle gym, sporting color-blocked separates, tailored jumpers, and versatile canvas pieces.

When it comes to fashion's second annual "pre-game" party, we have no shortage of related conversation. Just 16 days away, here are a few stops we'll be adding to our itinerary:

Derek Lam: Model Maryna Linchuk will host Derek Lam's Fashion's Night Out party in Soho, complete with champagne and music by Woofgang. Document the night with Derek Lam's Fall 2010 photo booth backdrop - or just shop the night away.

Sir by Joanna Baum: Designer-assisted shopping, fee-free custom orders, and cocktails are enough to entice the District. To add to the fervor, West Village-born singer, Alexa Wilding, will be performing live in-store. Catch a piece of the action on September 10th at 129 Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn.

Nicole Miller: The celebrated dress designer will be co-hosting her FNO party on Greene Street with singer and model, Cassie. Designer appearances get us in the store, but it is her three-hour open bar that will get us to stay.

Last but not least, District L's favorite, Lois Eastlund, is now listed as an FNO participant. Seasonless-sensibility and downtown-cool will now be open later on September 10th for Fashion's Night Out.
