Loafers Are The Shoe Doing The Most Work In Your Closet
A polished flat can shift a whole outfit without asking for much.
The Fall Jewelry Box
Heavy gold, odd pearls and stones the color of turning leaves.
The Tote That Works All Fall
An autumn tote only works when it fits the coat you actually reach for, which makes proportion and strap placement more important than a novelty detail. The shift toward roomier, softer carryalls follows the same move toward heavier fall layers. This edit sorts the totes, coats, and boots that are meant to be worn together.
A Fall Trend Report You Can Keep
Fall is the one season where the trends and the classics tend to agree with each other. This year they agree on suede, a soft loafer, braided leather at the waist, pearls, and a few notes of burgundy to keep all the brown interesting. Here is a trend report built from pieces you can wear this October and still reach for three autumns from now.
Saint Laurent Eyewear
Saint Laurent was founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, and eyewear has been part of the house since the designer's own nearsighted, glasses-first look. This edit sorts the current sunglasses and optical range by shape, from squared acetate to rounder, softer frames.
David Yurman
David Yurman started in 1980 as a Tribeca studio project between a sculptor and a painter, and the twisted Cable design they hand made a few years later became the house's whole vocabulary. Notes on how that one motif carries across bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces, and why one piece usually says more than four.
Marina B
Marina Bulgari left her family's jewelry house in 1976 and founded Marina B in Geneva in 1977, building the brand around spring-mounted settings, unthreaded beads and her own Chestnut stone cut. Notes on how those three ideas show up in the rings, bracelets and necklaces here.
Cartier Eyewear
Cartier's panther first appeared in its jewelry in 1914 and became the house's signature under creative director Jeanne Toussaint, and that same motif now runs through its Panthere sunglasses. This edit sets those sculptural sunglasses against the quieter Premiere optical frames the house has made since 1983.
Carolina Bucci
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.
Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen
Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen began in 1963 in a small Hellerup workshop, after founder Ole Lynggaard spent years traveling abroad, which left him fascinated with elephants, a motif still running through the house. This edit tracks how the same nature-led forms, from snake coils to acorns, shift across earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets.
Anderson's
Anderson's has made belts by hand in one factory in Parma, Italy since 1966, when leather worker Carlo Valenti named the company after Savile Row tailor Anderson and Sheppard. Notes on how texture and finish, more than width or buckle, separate one Anderson's belt from the next.
Keeper Vintage
Keeper Vintage runs a watch boutique in West Hollywood built around matching older timepieces with new owners rather than moving stock like a typical shop. This edit covers four vintage watches, three Rolex models and a Piaget, each carrying the proportions of its era.
FoundRae
Beth Bugdaycay started FoundRae in New York in 2015, after two decades running Rebecca Taylor, and named it partly for her grandmother Rae. Notes on the necklaces, rings and bracelets she calls modern heirlooms, built around symbols in 18-karat gold rather than plain sparkle.
Janessa Leone
Janessa Leone bought a vintage men's dress hat in Paris, later found the original milliner's surname stitched inside was also Leone, and turned that discovery into her own Los Angeles hat line in 2013. Notes on which hat shapes hold up to daily wear and where the bags and belts fit into that idea.
Alighieri
Rosh Mahtani started Alighieri in London in 2014, naming it for Dante and setting out to carve one piece of jewelry for each canto of the Divine Comedy. This edit moves through the necklaces and newer hoop earrings to see how consistently that literary starting point comes through in the metal.
Bao Bao Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake made the first version of this bag in 2000, naming it Bilbao as a tribute to Frank Gehry's museum, before it became its own label, Bao Bao Issey Miyake, in 2010. This edit gathers that same folded, triangle-paneled construction across totes, crossbody bags and shoulder bags.
Jennifer Fisher
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.
Dragon Diffusion
Dragon Diffusion was started in 1985 by New Zealander Craig Wright, who built the label on basketry techniques borrowed from the South Pacific, Japan and Europe and turned them into woven leather rather than logos. The totes and shoulder bags here make up the everyday range, and the weave itself is the reason to look.
Jacques Marie Mage
Jacques Marie Mage launched in Los Angeles in 2015, when designer Jerome Mage decided eyewear had gotten too safe and started carving thick, sculptural acetate into shapes most brands would call too much. Notes on the frames, from the Chelsea to the Roxy, that carry that stubbornness in every line.
Christen
Nina Christen spent years shaping shoes behind the scenes at Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Celine and The Row before launching her own label, Christen, in 2024. This edit moves through her sandals, boots and pumps to show one designer's eye for sharp, sculptural shape across three very different registers.
Nike
Nike started in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, a running shoe import business built on a handshake between a track coach and his former runner, and that testing habit still shapes the shoes. I picked sneakers from archival shapes to Jordan silhouettes, plus a smaller run of training layers built for actual movement.
Marla Aaron
Marla Aaron left a 25-year advertising career at 40 to recast a climbing carabiner into precious metal, launching her New York lock jewelry line in 2012. Notes on the necklaces, pendants and bracelets built around that working lock, and how to wear a mechanism instead of just a motif.
Legres
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.
Garrard
Garrard dates itself to 1735 in London and spent more than 160 years as Crown Jeweller, looking after the British Crown Jewels. Notes on the house behind these colored-stone earrings, necklaces and rings, and how to wear that much history lightly.
