Hill House Home is making a new venture into retail.
The five-year-old brand best known for its hugely popular Nap Dress styles is opening its first holiday pop-up shop on Thursday, which will be open through Jan. 15 and will be located at 112 Mercer Street in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. This is the brand’s second foray into retail after running out of a 500-square-foot location on Bleecker Street until January 2020.
“When we closed that store, we were hoping and planning to move into a new store,” said Nell Diamond, founder and chief executive officer of Hill House Home. “We opened that store when we were in our very early stages. We only had bedding and bath products, so since then we’ve become a brand with lots of other items, including obviously our Nap Dress. I think we were really excited to get back in person and that’s the part of the business that I’ve been really craving.”
The new location takes design elements from the previous store, such as incorporating Hill House Home’s signature powder blue color and its well-known botanical and trellis patterns. Diamond described the store as “classic British interiors with a modern twist.”

“Stranger Things” is giving fans a new immersive experience.
The hit Netflix TV show is opening pop-up shops in New York City and Los Angeles on Nov. 6 — which is also “Stranger Things” Day — in its first retail venture. Fans will be able to experience the show’s “Upside Down” world with exclusive merchandise and interactive photo moments.
“We are always looking for new and innovative ways to let ‘Stranger Things’ fans see themselves more in the show they love,” said Greg Lombardo, head of experiences at Netflix, in a statement. “This first ‘Stranger Things’ store sends them right into the heart of Hawkins, in a truly immersive retail experience, totally stoked with ’80s vibes and the chance to take home a piece of their favorite show with unique merchandise that isn’t available anywhere else. But be warned, you never know when things will turn upside down.”

Have you noticed that more women are wearing berets, and brightly colored clothing?
Fashion executive Mindy Lin Prugnaud certainly has, and she draws a straight line to “Emily in Paris,” the hit Netflix series that spawned dozens of websites that meticulously document every outfit and accessory worn by the main characters.
Now Netflix and ViacomCBS are further fanning interest in the hit show by opening an online store to sell merchandise from a clutch of top luxury houses featured on the show. It is slated to go live just as season two starts streaming on Dec. 22, allowing viewers to buy the checkered jacket from Chanel-owned Barrie worn by the main character, portrayed by Lily Collins, or the tasseled Roberto Coin earrings worn by her vivacious sidekick Mindy, played by Ashley Park.

Lady Gaga is on not one, but two Vogue covers this year.
Ahead of the release of her highly anticipated “House of Gucci” later this month, the singer covered Vogue Italia’s November issue and British Vogue’s December issue.
For British Vogue, Lady Gaga wore a custom look by Schiaparelli, which according to the publication took creative director Daniel Roseberry six weeks to make and took inspiration from a 1930s perfume bottle. The look featured silk taffeta sleeves that framed the black matte wool crepe dress in a cloud of gold lamé. To finish off the ensemble, Lady Gaga wore jewelry by Tiffany & Co. and Boucheron.
The singer’s cover for Vogue Italia featured an up-close shot of her face as she wears a pink cocoon cape by Valentino, which exuded an essence of a classic fashion magazine from the 1960s à la Twiggy, with a simple makeup look.

Kate Middleton brought her signature style to the COP26 Summit.
The Duchess of Cambridge attended the United Nation’s Climate Change Conference in Glasgow alongside husband Prince William on Monday wearing a dress from London-based fashion brand Eponine’s spring 2020 collection.
Middleton’s dress was a wool crepe maxidress in a cobalt blue with three-quarter sleeves and black button accents. The dress — a new one for Middleton, who is known for recycling her outfits — falls in line with the duchess’ style of wearing colorful coat dresses at her royal engagements.
The duchess paired the look with her Poppy Code Breakers Brooch, which is said to be a tribute to her grandmother, Valerie Glassborow, who served in World War II as a code breaker at Bletchley Park, the primary center for Allied code breaking during the war.

This year’s celebrity Halloween costumes showcased a number of pop culture references.
Hailey Bieber lived out her pop idol dreams by dressing up as not one, but four different versions of Britney Spears, while Saweetie paid tribute to her favorite Catwoman (Halle Berry). Heidi Klum remained loyal to her love for Halloween by creating a grotesque short film about zombies.
The “Squid Game” references were plenty, with Blackpink’s Lisa dressing up as the giant robotic doll from the popular Korean drama. Harry Styles celebrated the holiday the best way he knew how: by throwing a concert in New York City called “Harryween.” The Grammy-winning singer stepped onto the stage as Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz,” complete with sequined red pumps.
Ariana Grande, known for her elaborate costumes in the past, traded in her signature bunny ears and high ponytail to emulate the classic “Creature From the Black Lagoon,” even going as far as creating movie posters with her husband Dalton Gomez as a “handsome scuba man.”
John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, their children Luna and Miles, and Teigen’s mother, Vilailuck Teigen, trick or treated as The Addams Family, while Kendall Jenner channeled her inner alien as she dressed as the iconic martian girl from
