Big news from Orchard Street: Ilana Kohn is going out of business. Known for colorful linen and graphic prints (Kohn was an illustrator for The New Yorker, after all), the label became a favorite of New Yorkers who also love Rachel Comey and Mara Hoffman. There was a time when you couldn’t go a few blocks in Brooklyn without seeing an Ilana Kohn jumpsuit — an “ultimate status symbol in Greenpoint,” wrote the Cut back in 2019. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the whole site is on sale for up to 80 percent off right now. Essentially, everything’s selling at sample-sale prices. Much of what’s in stock is going fast, and I rounded up what was still stocked in most sizes. You know what to do. (Seriously, go shop before the resellers do.)
A shirtdress to seem put together (especially when you’re not).
Wear it in the fall with a sweater, and wear it in the spring as is.
A little linen dress for the time in between the AC getting turned off and the heat getting turned on at the office.
This dress is made from deadstock denim of seasons past — so it’s doing good while looking good.
Fortunately, the “picnic plaid” doesn’t read too Little Home on the Prairie.
You can throw this over a bikini when another vacation comes around.
These are made from a cotton milled in Portugal that won’t wrinkle easily.
