Shop 5 Kips Bay Trends I Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2027

This year’s Kips Bay was ‘New York’ to its bones. Across all six floors, the rooms captured the grit and glamour of both its prime Greenwich Village setting – a storied 1839 Georgian townhouse overlooking Washington Square Park – and the infectious energy of the city more broadly.

Maybe it was the addition of new art curator Gay Gassmann, whose curation of all-American works traded the whimsical, if somewhat unrealistic, staircases of years past for more convincing, artwork-lined transitional spaces. Or perhaps it was the fact that some familiar Show House names made way for new talents who mined the city itself for material, with references spanning New York’s louchely idealized Studio 54 past to the brickish reds of the house itself.
