In the News: Tribeca Moms as Fashion Icons
••• As first gleaned here, “The upscale building 460 Washington, which is still under construction, will offer 22 units of low-income housing in its 107-apartment, 10-story building. Applications for the affordable units, which are being advertised with the address 456 Washington Street, will begin in the fall.” How those 22 units get allocated is fascinating. —DNAinfo

A passer-by walking up Greenwich avenue in mid-morning on any workday can see them strolling about in their $400 leggings, technical cashmere tops and latest Y3 sneakers.

If someone sees a ‘Tribeca mom’ strolling along Greenwich Avenue – that passerby is in the Village – not Tribeca. Greenwich STREET is Tribeca.
I think the author is a bit of a hater… She talks about how athleisure is about expressing what you’re doing through what you are wearing and then she talks about the universal appeal of the clothing, but then makes it as though the “Tribeca Mom” is some rare breed for doing the same thing at a higher price point…
Maybe she didn’t get free samples of Y-3 sneakers and techno cashmere and she’s stinging? BTW – can you get leggings for $400? I had no idea…
Ha. I am a “Tribeca Mom” but no way I can afford $400 leggings. I am just your average coupon clipping, penny pinching mom that lives and works in Tribeca.
