“On Saturday night, Eckhaus Latta presented its AW22 collection in the halls of the Lower East Side’s old Essex Market. Familiar faces including Okay Kaya, Hari Nef and Paloma Elsesser stalked its former aisles, amidst abandoned stalls and old, empty refrigerators. Editors, buyers and critics sat tucked between wooden shelves, once replete with fresh produce (Sunkist oranges, 2 for $1; butternut squash, 99¢/lb.). It was the Brooklyn-based label’s first Manhattan-held show in ten seasons and the evening’s decampment, the choice of locale was anything but haphazard. The old Essex Market, an LES stalwart for over seven decades, closed its doors in early 2019; soon, its plain brick abode will be torn down, replaced with a block of condominiums. “We’ve been trying for a long time to secure this location. It’s very timely, very New York City,” says Mike, hours before curtain call. “It has that sense of history and time, something that’s constantly evolving and changing. That sense that nothing is permanent here.”
