Where: The High Line’s Chelsea Market Passage

Theme: Modern Prep

What that meant: A melding of traditional prep themes (think khaki, seersucker, polo shirts and varsity jackets) with hallmarks of the adventure-seeking set that included nautical stripes, camouflage colorways, canteens slung about the neck and desert boots on the feet.
