The Holiday Fashion Pop-Ups In NYC Just Keep Getting Better
Between the Radio City Rockettes, the Rockefeller Christmas tree, and the Fifth Avenue window displays, New York is undeniably one of the most magical hotspots during the holidays. Whether you call NYC home, or you’re just visiting, you’re in luck, because the Big Apple is flooded with festive fêtes right now — especially on the fashion front. Flagship stores are always ripe for the shopping, but this giving season, some brands are feeling extra generous. From now until early 2025, labels like Nana Jacqueline, Coach, and Gymshark (to name a few) will host special pop-ups in honor of the holidays. So, if you’ll be in NYC soon, pack light, because you’ll need the extra room after visiting these seasonal soirées.
No matter who’s on your list this year, there’s a pop-up for every fashion enthusiast. Beloved by Ariana Grande, Jenna Ortega, Sydney Sweeney, and more it girls, L.A.-based label, Nana Jacqueline opened its debut holiday pop-up in Soho early in November. Not only can you shop the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 and Winter 2024 collections, but the pink-covered, vintage-inspired boutique will make for the perfect Instagram backdrop. “Meeting our NY customers offline has been inspiring,” co-founder and creative director, Jacqueline Zhang tells TZR. “Soho has the magic of bustling streets and we’ve loved seeing new faces light up as they browse and fall for our signature styles.”
Also in SoHo, just a few blocks away is the Holiday Hub from Pleasing, Harry Styles’ wellness brand. Open from now until Jan. 1, the Grammy winner’s devoted fanbase can get their hands on Styles-approved nail polish, fragrances, and most recently, his collaboration with JW Anderson. And once you’ve purchased a perfume for the new year, head to Coach House on Fifth Avenue. This two-day celebration features a free photo booth, a live jazz band in-store, and an engraving station to personalize your new Coach bag (perhaps Bella Hadid’s favorite Brooklyn Shoulder bag?).
To help you curate your itinerary, keep scrolling for the city’s best fashion-related pop-ups, and stay tuned to TZR for more in the coming weeks.
