## NYFW spills off the runway
Conner Ives did sexy prep, Coach and Eckhaus Latta made the case for glitter, and Love Island's Trinity Tatum debuted in Aliyah-inspired Tommy Hilfiger.
## After-parties became the event
The parties now compete with the shows for attention. Anne Hathaway handed out fall nail inspiration just walking into the Bvlgari party on Thursday.

## A bar on the second floor
It all happened at Sloane's, a small cocktail bar tucked above Thompson Street inside The Manner, with drinks from Proximo Spirits.
## Dress code: after-dark romance
Guests read the brief loosely and well. Little black dresses with fringe, and the right amount of lingerie showing.

## A toast, then a set
Just before midnight Willa toasted, not to close the night but to open it. Del Water Gap played acoustic versions of Doll House, High Tops, and Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat.
## Tyde Levi closed it out
Willa joined him behind the DJ booth while his sister Sage took the front of the dance floor. Guests left into the next day of fashion week.

> Tyde, let's do this again soon?
## Key takeaway

The after-party is the main event now, and Cosmo built one around matching suits, a live set, and a guest list that felt like a friend group.
