Fashionably early: Slay the season

Part 5 of the Fashionably Early Series

Fashionably Early: Slay The Season brought together New York City’s fashion, tech, and creative communities for a warm, intentional close to 2025. Hosted by 99 YARDS, Friends and the City, Fashion Forward, Outtie, Victoire Focx, and Beacon Quarterly, the December edition of our signature coffee meetup celebrated the energy, style, and innovation that defined the year.

Set against a cozy morning backdrop, the gathering created space for meaningful conversations, genuine connections, and forward-looking ideas. Founders, designers, technologists, and creatives came together over coffee to reflect on the year’s wins, exchange insights, and look ahead to what’s next in 2026.
