While the design process for Pre-Fall precedes a brand’s larger Fall collection, it is often revealed after the brand’s runway collection. Such is the case for Chloé this year, who unveiled its Pre-Fall 2024 collection earlier this week, the very first one designed by Chemena Kamali, the Maison’s new Creative Director. By now, we have a pretty good idea of the direction Kamali will take after…

Since his appointment, Gucci’s Creative Director Sabato De Sarno has done an incredible job at fusing Gucci’s core DNA with a contemporary appeal. Today’s Gucci is fresh but in a way that feels wearable and not over the top. It has an unmistakable air of chicness, one that makes all of us want to be a Gucci girl (or guy). This summer, De Sarno puts his own spin on Gucci summer…

In today’s installment of Closet Confessionals, we meet a collector from London who has been collecting bags for just a few years. In that time, CC 226 has curated a lovely collection of pieces spanning brands like Chanel and Celine. CC 226 has loved bags for a long time, long before they even understood what the luxury world was really like! In fact, it was a family friend’s Birkin Bag that…

I attempted to start this write-up with a statement about how the Saint Laurent Niki is one of the brand’s newer additions until I realized that it’s not 2020 anymore, and the bag is no longer in its infancy. Launched in 2018, the Niki Bag immediately made waves when it launched for the Spring 2018 season in an ad campaign fronted by the legendary Kate Moss. Whether or not Kate’s appearance…

Many a time have I looked at those one-off $27,000 Valentino beaded jeans made to resemble denim – or a rather bewildering rendition of a Viktor & Rolf gown seemingly knocked sideways off the wearer’s silhouette – and wondered who is actually buying, let alone wearing, haute couture these days? Beyoncé, of course, is an obvious exception – her Renaissance Tour ensemble would hardly be…

March Madness took over our conversation in a different manner than usual this year: everyone was talking about the women’s brackets. Now, I must lead by saying we are not a basketball family. We are a sports family, but Vlad and my inability to jump high, move quickly, or shoot a basketball really impacted our following of the sport. However, I follow sports and am well-versed in the leadup…

Earlier this year I was scrolling through Instagram reels. It was way past my bedtime and I was delirious. Somewhere between a reel giving a play by play of a day in the life of a spoiled Frenchie, a GRWM and a what I eat in a day was a video of a creator chronicling the story of how she got a Birkin in Paris with no purchase history. In my overtired state of delirium, I thought I was…

One week ago today, I was living a fantasy life. The kind of life that feels like it is only meant for others and the life made of meticulously crafted threads of fashion lovers’ childhood dreams. Only, it was my reality. Christian Dior invited Vlad and me to its Fall 2024 show at the Brooklyn Museum on April 15th, and we also had the opportunity to see the bags before they hit the runway.

Last week, Louis Vuitton debuted its Pre-Fall 2024 collection in Shanghai. The runway was full of both Louis Vuitton classics and fun, unique pieces with an eclectic flair. While heritage remains at the forefront of Nicolas Ghesquière’s design process, the collection also sees a contemporary edge. Chinese youth culture was also a point of inspiration for Ghesquière this season…
