MEATPACKING DISTRICT—In the fourth and least predictable pop-up shop story of the day, Chanel has appeared inside Jeffrey! Refinery reports (via WWD) that the space is modeled after St. Tropez's Café Sénéquier, the home of Chanel's most recent cruise show. What that means: 1000 square feet of beachy furniture all in bright red. [Refinery29]

BUSHWICK—God bless those fearless ladies at the Cut for covering the nutria fashion show live. Otherwise, we'd never get the chance to read quotes like this one, from a designer working with the rat-like swamp creature's greasy, horrifying fur: "Usually when you're making art, you're not completely disgusted by your materials, so I really liked that. I was like, Oh gross! Gotta keep going. Oh no, this is horrible! Gotta keep going." [The Cut; Previously]
