Hey, Upper East Siders: Rebecca Hessel Cohen dropped Marie Antoinette into the Gossip Girl cinematic universe for LoveShackFancy’s fall 2026 collection, staged at Cooper Hewitt—a Gilded Age mansion on Blair Waldorf’s home turf. An explosion of lace, bows, and sparkles ensued. “She’s a little Blair Waldorf meets Marie Antoinette—if she had an iPhone,” said Hessel Cohen. Vintage always serves as a jumping-off point for Hessel Cohen, who trawls the Paris markets for inspiration. Here, Edwardian-inspired silhouettes lived alongside a dusty pink John Galliano-era Dior bar jacket. “I collect all the Galliano,” she said. There were also more modern touches. Right on time with the recent (albeit short-lived) 2016 cultural obsession, one model wore a brown taffeta high-low skirt with white lace tights and a white lace tank top embellished with rhinestone-encrusted bow brooches.
