Shop the sales for outgoing summer collections and incoming fall ones.
Labor Day Weekend Sales
We can’t get far in Style + Shopping without mentioning Labor Day Sales: Just head to your nearest outlet mall. Take the Galleria for example, which has extra discounts on sale items at Kate Spade, Melly, Nic + Zoe, and J.McLaughlin; up to 30% off at the North Face; and more. At Ridgedale you’ll find sales at classic places like Macy’s—25-60% off end-of-summer essentials and 30-60% off women’s shoes—as well as good deals like Pac Sun’s up to 40% discount sale storewide.

A Conversation with the Most Influential Man in Fashion
OK, the title is a little grandiose, but I can see where they’re coming from. Fashion@Brown presents a live-streamed conversation with André Leon Talley. As the event description says, Talley was “for decades the right hand of Anna Wintour, protege of Andy Warhol, fashion advisor to Michelle Obama, confidant of Karl Lagerfeld, and friend to the world’s most renowned designers.” (If you want a sneak peek of his background, check out his memoir about working as the creative director at Vogue, The Chiffon Trenches.) While the talk will surely cover his background, how he found his path to success, and the people that changed him, he’ll also be talking about racism and privilege in the industry. September 13 at 2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. local time) @ Zoom, eventbrite.com.
