Trend report: my AW19 wish list

Jil Sander Aw19

While the fashion industry is becoming less seasonal by the day, instead opting for more frequent ‘drops’, in my mind, September is still officially New Season month. I still look forward to the September issue of Vogue (yes, I’m the one keeping print afloat) (Just – R.I.P Marie Claire) and I’m relieved to see proper clothes in the shops instead of endless tees and shorts. Hey, I’m a knitwear girl! Here’s my pick of the autumn trends and best buys I’m eyeing for the forseeable…

DIOR GORPCORE While Dior menswear is getting most of my love at the moment, I’m here for the Dior plaid cagoule (more…)

Wardrobe NYC – the denim edit

From the vaults: Levi’s Engineered Jeans (they’re back!)

Levi's Engineered Jeans SS19

Levi’s has done it again with its new Levi’s Engineered Jeans collection. (OK, not that new, if you remember them from the first time round in 1999.) 20 years ago, Levi’s brought out a unique darted and twisted seamed jean that was a radical departure from its classic Americana silhouettes.

This spring, Levi’s has revived the cuts with a special edition reissue for men and women. (more…)
