Randall Bachner and Marrakshi Life: Cotton Dresses from Marrakech

Randall Bachner and Marrakshi Life: Cotton Dresses from Marrakech

Marrakshi Life started in 2013 when photographer Randall Bachner and Nicholas Minucciani moved from New York to Marrakech to work with local weavers on traditional flatbed looms. This edit sorts the maxi dresses built for a trip from the shirts and trousers likely to keep earning a spot at home.

Marta Ferri Dresses: Printed Maxis and Midis From Upholstery Fabric

Marta Ferri Dresses: Printed Maxis and Midis From Upholstery Fabric

Marta Ferri dresses began in 2011, when she built her first collection entirely from upholstery fabric. I look at the printed maxi and midi dresses and how to treat the print like a color.

Erin Conry Webb and Nour Hammour: Paris Leather Jackets Since 2013

Erin Conry Webb and Nour Hammour: Paris Leather Jackets Since 2013

Erin Conry Webb co-founded Nour Hammour in Paris in 2013 with Nour Hammour, after the two met as students. I go through the leather jackets, shearling coats and calf hair pieces the label makes.

Legres Boots: London Label Made in Italy by Anonymous Founders

Legres Boots: London Label Made in Italy by Anonymous Founders

Legres launched in London in 2019 from three co-founders who chose to stay anonymous, letting the boots, made in Italy over a year of development, do the talking instead. This edit lines up the current range of Chelsea boots, ankle boots and loafers so the differences in shape and material are easy to compare.

Mary Katrantzou Dresses: The Queen of Print's Florals

Mary Katrantzou Dresses: The Queen of Print's Florals

Mary Katrantzou dresses are built on print, from the 2008 graduate collection of trompe l'oeil jewelry prints that made her the Queen of Print. I went through her floral maxi, midi and mini dresses.

Ole Lynggaard Earrings: 18-Karat Gold Pieces Shaped by Nature

Ole Lynggaard Earrings: 18-Karat Gold Pieces Shaped by Nature

Ole Lynggaard earrings come in 18-karat gold, from Snakes with turquoise to Boho with quartz and tourmaline. The Copenhagen house began in a small Hellerup workshop in 1963, and I look at how nature shapes each piece.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh Shoes

Maryam Nassir Zadeh Shoes

Maryam Nassir Zadeh opened her Lower East Side store in 2008 and launched her in-house clothing and shoe collection in 2012. Her background in textiles and styling shows up in pieces that make a complete look without looking overworked. The line’s downtown ease is less about minimalism than knowing exactly where to stop.

McQueen Tailoring: The London House Founded in 1992

McQueen Tailoring: The London House Founded in 1992

McQueen was founded in London in 1992 by Lee Alexander McQueen, who trained on Savile Row before building a house known for exacting tailoring and theatrical shows. Sarah Burton led the house from 2010 to 2023, and this edit narrows a large assortment down to the shapes worth building an outfit around.

MFPEN

MFPEN

Copenhagen label mfpen was founded by Sigurd Bank in the mid-2010s. Bank began working with deadstock fabrics because they were available, then turned that practical choice into a broader design language of relaxed tailoring and classic menswear references. The clothes feel considered without sounding like they are asking for attention.

MM6 Maison Margiela

MM6 Maison Margiela

MM6 Maison Margiela began in 1997 as Line 6, a more accessible offshoot of the house Martin Margiela and Jenny Meirens founded in Paris in 1988. This edit tracks how that numbered line bends ordinary wardrobe pieces, a trench, a knit, a boot, just enough to make you look twice.

Moncler Genius Collaborations: Guest Designers in the Puffer Archive

Moncler Genius Collaborations: Guest Designers in the Puffer Archive

Moncler Genius collaborations put guest designers inside the brand's own puffer archive, a project launched in 2018. I look at pieces like the Edward Enninful vest and trench, and why I judge the jacket first.

LPA Revolve Picks For Going Out

LPA Revolve Picks For Going Out

Going-out clothes came back the moment the internet decided the quiet luxury phase was over. Anyone typing LPA Revolve into a search bar is reading that shift correctly, because the label builds almost exclusively for evenings that will be photographed. This edit takes the dresses first, then the separates that do the same job in two pieces.

The Marc Jacobs Tote Bag Pink Edit

The Marc Jacobs Tote Bag Pink Edit

The Marc Jacobs tote pink options are Ribbon Pink, Hot Pink and Petal Pink, with the name embossed rather than printed. I go through the small and medium sizes, then the shoulder bags and crossbodies.

The Ganni Trench Coat Edit

The Ganni Trench Coat Edit

The trench survived a hundred years by refusing to change and is now changing quickly. The Ganni trench coat is the clearest example, taking a military pattern and treating it as a colour and material exercise instead of a heritage one. This edit runs the trenches first and then the rest of the label's outerwear.

Gucci Ophidia: The Mini Bag and Every Small Shape to Carry

Gucci Ophidia: The Mini Bag and Every Small Shape to Carry

The Gucci Ophidia line starts with the mini bag, built from GG canvas, leather trim and the web stripe. I go through the camera bag, the pochette and the small crossbodies, then pick the Ophidia I would buy first.

The Prada Vest, Styled

The Prada Vest, Styled

The vest went from technical layer to the most photographed item in a wardrobe in about three years. A Prada vest sits at the centre of that, because the house has been making both the nylon and the knitted version since long before either was fashionable. This edit takes the sleeveless pieces first and then the cardigans that layer with them.

Alexander McQueen Sneakers

Alexander McQueen Sneakers

The chunky sneaker had a very loud decade and is now being quietly reassessed. Alexander McQueen sneakers are the most recognisable object from that period, built on an oversized rubber sole and a plain leather upper. This edit takes the oversized models first and then the lower profile ones.

The Celine T Shirt

The Celine T Shirt

The plain t-shirt is the hardest thing in fashion to charge for and the easiest to get wrong. The Celine t shirt is the current reference point, because Hedi Slimane rebuilt the house around a very specific narrow, high-armhole cut. This edit takes the tees first and then the knits that follow the same logic.

Olympia Le-Tan

Olympia Le-Tan

Olympia Le-Tan turns the clutch into a small, hand-held argument for taking culture out at night. Founded in 2009 by Gregory Bernard and Olympia Le-Tan, the label is known for hand-embroidered designs that borrow from books, art, and cinema. These are not quiet accessories, and that is precisely why they work.

Liberowe Jackets: Narrow-Collared Tailoring Started in London

Liberowe Jackets: Narrow-Collared Tailoring Started in London

Talia Loubaton started Liberowe in London after a trip to India left her fixated on the narrow-collared tailoring she saw there, and she built the label's first jacket, the Raja, from that memory. The jackets set the tone, and the dresses, tops and trousers keep the same structure in softer fabrics.

LIBEROWE: Menswear Tailoring in Silk, Velvet and Chiffon

LIBEROWE: Menswear Tailoring in Silk, Velvet and Chiffon

LIBEROWE turns the language of menswear into something more fluid, pairing disciplined tailoring with the sensuous ease of silk, velvet and chiffon. Founded by Paris-raised, London-trained designer Talia Loubaton, the label began with a jacket inspired by her travels in India and a small rail of bespoke orders. The result is clothing with a strong point of view, where a sharp shoulder or narrow collar does more work than a loud logo ever could.

Built Like Architecture

The Deme By Gabriella Dress Is Built For Being Looked At

The Deme By Gabriella Dress Is Built For Being Looked At

A deme by gabriella dress comes out of Gabriella Demetriades' Mumbai label, which has spent the last few years building a genuinely distinct occasion wardrobe. The cuts are sharp, the drape is heavy, and almost nothing in the line is shy. This is what the current run looks like.

Lido Swimwear: Daria Stankiewicz's Venice Label for Bikinis

Lido Swimwear: Daria Stankiewicz's Venice Label for Bikinis

Lido makes swimwear that treats the beach as a place for design, not just exposure. Founded by Daria Stankiewicz in Venice, the independent label takes its name from the lagoon island and produces its pieces in Northern Italy with Italian artisans. The shapes are clean, the color is deliberate, and the clothes look as good moving through a city as they do near the water.

OSSOU Denim: Structured Jeans and Soft Tailoring

OSSOU Denim: Structured Jeans and Soft Tailoring

OSSOU denim is built around structure: jeans first, then soft tailoring and useful layers. I go through the jeans, the quiet outer layers, and the shirting and knits.

Liffner Handbags: Scandinavian Clutches, Totes and Shoulder Bags

Liffner Handbags: Scandinavian Clutches, Totes and Shoulder Bags

Liffner builds handbags around the Scandinavian idea that restraint can still have a pulse. Founded in Stockholm in 2012 by Paulina Liffner von Sydow, the brand pairs expressive minimalism with Italian craftsmanship and small-batch production. Croc effects, calf hair, raffia and tassels add a little mischief to shapes that remain remarkably composed.

Our Legacy: The Stockholm Label That Began With Graphic Tees

Our Legacy: The Stockholm Label That Began With Graphic Tees

Our Legacy is a Stockholm label founded in 2005 by childhood friends Jockum Hallin and Cristopher Nying. It began with graphic T-shirts on a family vinyl printer, and I go through the shirts, bottoms, layers and shoes worth owning.

LOBMEYR

LOBMEYR

LOBMEYR treats glassware as part of the architecture of a table, where a tumbler or pitcher can carry as much presence as a vase. Founded in Vienna by Josef Lobmeyr in 1823, the family house has moved from Biedermeier glass and imperial commissions into collaborations with modern designers. The current selection keeps that long view intact, pairing hand-finished crystal with shapes that feel surprisingly current.
