September doesn’t just mark the beginning of fall and football season — in the fashion world, it’s arguably the most exhilarating four weeks out of the whole year (perhaps tied with February, that is). This is largely due to fashion month, which kicks off in New York City this Thursday. There are also star-studded award shows on the calendar, including the MTV Video Music Awards — did you check out the best looks from Sunday night’s red carpet? — and the Emmys. And on top of all of that, the September fashion news, which runs the gamut from collaborations to campaigns, never fails to bring more excitement to the industry.
For starters, New York-based namesake designer Nili Lotan debuted a handbag collection, featuring 16 styles, many of which were named after iconic rock n’ roll singers. The brand celebrated its newest category with a bash in the Big Apple on September 4, featuring a performance by The Kills and a special appearance from Maggie Rogers. Another label making major moves this month? EB Denim. The Los Angeles-based company opened its first-ever flagship in the city, which will double as an event studio and retail store. Scroll ahead to stay up-to-date on September’s fashion news. You know this drill: Check back on this post throughout the month to read up on the latest happenings.

Nili Lotan Launches Handbags
Designer Nili Lotan, who launched her namesake label in 2003, made her first foray into handbags this month, launching 16 styles crafted in Italy and Spain from premium leather. “This handbag collection is a natural evolution of my line that draws on the same intuition and sources of inspiration, and ultimately offers essential accessories to serve a woman’s complete lifestyle needs — be it for travel, work, evening or the weekend,” the designer said in a statement. A longtime fan of rock n’ roll, Lotan named some of the silhouettes, which range from boxy leather totes to slouchy suede carryalls, after her favorite singers, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Françoise Hardy.

Meanwhile, there’s an upstairs loft for EB Denim’s design studio.
“It’s really a big opportunity for us to connect with our customer on a deeper level and really understand from them what works and what doesn’t,” founder Elena Bonvicini said in a press release, sharing her excitement around the brand’s latest venture. “To just truly create the best possible product and have those daily interactions — that’s something we’ve been missing because everything has been so virtual.”
