Spend enough time walking around the periphery of Central Park and you’ll begin to notice certain styles seemingly native to the area. There’s the woman in a full runway look popping into a deli to grab a carton of oat milk, the young professional who has forgone a briefcase for an overstuffed Zabar’s bag.

Ladies and gentlemen, Blair Waldorf and Holden Caulfield have gone cugine.
