Prada Shoes

Prada Shoes

Mario Prada and his brother Martino opened a leather goods shop called Fratelli Prada in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in 1913, selling imported English trunks and travel accessories to the city's elite. His granddaughter Miuccia Prada took over in 1978 and, working with Patrizio Bertelli, turned a nylon backpack into the idea that a utilitarian material could sit at the center of a luxury house.

Khaite Shoes, Bags and Accessories: Leather Pumps and Sandals

Khaite Shoes, Bags and Accessories: Leather Pumps and Sandals

Catherine Holstein launched Khaite in New York in 2016 with backing from Adam Pritzker's Assembled Brands, after a first eponymous label she started as a Parsons student closed in the 2008 financial crisis and a five-year run designing for Gap, Vera Wang and The Elder Statesman taught her the parts of the business she'd missed the first time. The label opened on denim and cashmere knitwear before adding runway shows in 2019 and an in-house bags and footwear line the same season, and Holstein still designs under a name modeled on the Greek word for long, flowing hair.

Norma Kamali Dresses

Norma Kamali Dresses

Norma Kamali has been dressing women out of her own instincts since 1967, long before anyone called it a personal brand. She turned a sleeping bag into a coat, a bikini into a cultural artifact, and a sweatshirt into eveningwear, then kept working past every trend cycle that tried to define her. Six decades later she still runs her own Manhattan store, which tells you everything about how little she has needed anyone else's approval.

House of Harlow 1960: Brand History and Signature Style

House of Harlow 1960: Brand History and Signature Style

Nicole Richie built House of Harlow out of a childhood spent playing dress-up in the wings of her father's tours, and it shows in how unapologetically costume-inspired the pieces still are. What started as a small jewelry line with a Beverly Hills jeweler in 2008 grew into a full lifestyle label named after her daughter, worn by everyone from Rihanna to Michelle Obama. It is one of the rare celebrity-founded brands that has stayed in the hands of the person who started it.

Isabel Marant Bags

Isabel Marant Bags

Isabel Marant started sewing at fifteen after asking her father for a machine, then trained at Studio Bercot and apprenticed under Michel Klein before launching her own label in 1994 out of a Paris squat courtyard runway show. Her first boutique opened in 1998 on rue de Charonne and remains the flagship today, the same neighborhood logic she's built her entire aesthetic around: Parisian, unbothered, dressed like you didn't try. She's the designer credited with putting the wedge into the sneaker around 2010, a shoe that a decade later is still copied more than it's matched.

Alex Perry Dresses

Alex Perry Dresses

Alex Perry launched his eponymous label from a Kensington studio in Sydney in 1992, beginning with gowns, corsets and sheaths. The house built its reputation on sculpted eveningwear, and its ready-to-wear line expanded globally in 2013. This edit stays close to that formal vocabulary, with draping, stretch jersey and sharply controlled silhouettes doing most of the talking.

Rebecca Vallance Dresses: Embellished Gowns and Softer Midis

Rebecca Vallance Dresses: Embellished Gowns and Softer Midis

Rebecca Vallance built its name on structured, embellished gowns before widening into softer prints and shorter shapes. The brand launched in London, showed first in Paris, and found an early home at Harvey Nichols, which explains why the formalwear still reads international rather than local. This edit separates the main event pieces from the after-hours, softened side of the label.

Proenza Schouler White Label: Jackets, Dresses and Knits for the Week

Proenza Schouler White Label: Jackets, Dresses and Knits for the Week

Proenza Schouler White Label turns the main line's sharp shapes into clothes meant for an actual week rather than a single dinner reservation. Jackets, dresses, and knits share a New York-inflected edge without asking for special occasions to justify them. This edit treats the label as a wardrobe to build from, not a single standout piece.

Eugenia Kim Hats and Scarves: Raffia, Straw and Crochet

Eugenia Kim Hats and Scarves: Raffia, Straw and Crochet

Eugenia Kim's hats and scarves bring sculptural brims, raffia, straw and crochet to warm weather dressing without tipping into costume. The label started in millinery, which is why the shaping and trims still read as considered rather than decorative filler. This edit separates the sunhat and visor shapes built for actual daylight from the scarves and bucket hats that finish a plainer outfit.

Haight Swimwear

Haight Swimwear

Haight swimwear pairs precise cuts and quiet color with beach-to-city layers, taking a restrained approach to resort dressing rather than the usual print-heavy shorthand. The label leans on proportion and how a piece sits on the body instead of asking color to do all the work. This edit separates the swim pieces from the knit layers that can carry a look past the beach.

Lisa Yang Knitwear

Lisa Yang Knitwear

Lisa Yang builds a whole wardrobe around the quiet authority of cashmere, where texture does the work that logos usually volunteer for. Founded in Stockholm in 2014 by Lisa Yang and Samuel Stenberg, the label connects Yang's Inner Mongolian heritage with a distinctly Scandinavian ease. The palette may be calm, but the proportions and knit techniques keep the clothes from becoming background noise.

Jennifer Fisher Jewelry: From a Gold Dog Tag to Earrings

Jennifer Fisher Jewelry: From a Gold Dog Tag to Earrings

Jennifer Fisher was a stylist who made her first piece, a gold dog tag for her son, Shane, because nothing on the market matched her own style, then turned it into a line in 2006 after Uma Thurman wore one on a magazine cover. Notes on the hoops, bangles and necklaces built for daily wear.

Rixo Dresses: Hand-Painted Prints From a London Flat

Rixo Dresses: Hand-Painted Prints From a London Flat

Rixo dresses are hand-painted print designs from a London label that Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey started in 2015. I look at the prints with a point and the one I would pick twice.

Red and Cobalt Outfits: Clothes and Accessories That Bridge Them

Red and Cobalt Outfits: Clothes and Accessories That Bridge Them

Red and cobalt together used to look like a mistake. Right now it is the sharpest colour pairing going. Here is each half, plus the accessories that bridge them.

Shoulder Bags For Fall

Shoulder Bags For Fall

The shoulder bag is back in the position it held before crossbody straps took over. Carried high and tucked under the arm, it changes posture as much as proportion. Three shapes to choose between.

Quietly Expensive Fall Pieces

Quietly Expensive Fall Pieces

Quietly expensive fall pieces come down to fabric weight, drape and finish rather than a logo. I look at wool and cashmere coats, leather trim and belted twill, and silk and satin pieces.

Drop Earrings And Hoops

Drop Earrings And Hoops

Drop earrings are the shape doing the most work this season, in three levels from statement to barely there. I sort the drops and hoops by how much movement you want, from rhinestone and pearl drops to plain hoops.

What Goes With Purple

What Goes With Purple

What goes with purple comes down to what you put next to it, and grays and greens do the job well. I start with the purple knitwear, tops, dresses and skirts, then pair them with the grays and greens.

Liquid Satin Dressing: Fluid Satin Skirts, Dresses and Tops

Liquid Satin Dressing: Fluid Satin Skirts, Dresses and Tops

Liquid satin dressing means the heavy, fluid kind of satin, which has moved out of eveningwear and into the middle of the week. I show it as skirts, dresses and tops.

Brandon Blackwood Built A Bag Brand On Pure Conviction

Brandon Blackwood Built A Bag Brand On Pure Conviction

Building an accessories label from nothing in the middle of a saturated market takes either capital or conviction. Brandon Blackwood did it with the second, going from a single style to a full range in under a decade. This edit runs through the bags carrying the house shapes.

Abadia Dresses

Abadia Dresses

Abadia brings Saudi craftsmanship into a modern evening wardrobe, with draping that feels architectural. Founded by Shahd Al-Shehail and her aunt Naeema the house draws on regional heritage while working in a distinctly contemporary register. The result is formalwear with a point of view, made for people who prefer a sculpted silhouette to a predictable party dress.

Carolina Bucci Jewelry: Florentine Gold Since 1885

Carolina Bucci Jewelry: Florentine Gold Since 1885

Carolina Bucci is the fourth generation of a Florentine family that has worked in gold since 1885, when her great-grandfather opened a workshop to repair pocket watches. This edit moves from the bracelets through necklaces to the smaller rings and earrings that finish the range.

Acne Studios Jeans

Acne Studios Jeans

Acne Studios brings Stockholm cool into a wardrobe of denim, oversized texture and slyly offbeat accessories. Founded in 1996 as part of a creative collective, the house grew from Jonny Johansson's red-stitched jeans into a full fashion practice. The clothes still reward a little friction, especially when clean Scandinavian lines meet an unexpected proportion or print.

AFLALO Dresses: Plissé Satin Maxis and Silk Midi Skirts

AFLALO Dresses: Plissé Satin Maxis and Silk Midi Skirts

AFLALO is a New York label built around liquid satin, sculpted volume and a distinctly evening-minded idea of modern luxury. Founded by Yael Aflalo, the designer behind Reformation, it treats the body and the way clothing changes movement as part of the design. The mood is polished but not precious, with enough drape to keep occasion dressing from feeling static.

AGMES Jewelry

AGMES Jewelry

AGMES makes New York jewelry with the clarity of small sculpture, using clean lines, recycled metals and forms that feel closer to architecture than ornament. Sisters Morgan and Jaclyn Solomon founded the label in 2016, drawing on modernist art, urban settings and the idea of the modern heirloom. The pieces are distinctive without asking for a maximalist outfit around them.

Cecilie Bahnsen Dresses

Cecilie Bahnsen Dresses

Cecilie Bahnsen trained under John Galliano and Erdem before returning to her native Copenhagen in 2015 to start her own label, and that mix of Paris drama and Scandinavian ease still runs through everything she makes. This edit moves from the volume-driven dresses through easier tops and jackets to the sculptural skirts that close the range.
