6397 Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear

Stella Ishii uses a paper calendar to keep track of the date. Each morning she rips off the day’s page, puts it aside, and goes about her day. Nothing particularly extraordinary, except that she keeps every single page, and has done for years. This same diaristic approach is one that her and her 6397 co-conspirators, which include head designer Lizzie Owens and, starting this season, career merchant and longtime Barney’s doyenne Judy Collinson, have made their signature. “We’ve been, for a few seasons now, expanding the community of 6397,” said Owens, “this has meant we’ve been asking bigger questions about ourselves, and Judy herself had a lot of questions, which has been clarifying and helped us distill it back to what it’s been.” What Owens meant by that is that this 6397 is the evolved, best, and truest version of the label. Said Ishii: “we all feel really good about this one.”
