Diane Kordas
Diane Kordas fell for the jewelers of Athens during summers in Greece and launched her line in 2000 with the evil eye. Notes on the designer behind these gold pendants and symbols, and why one piece worn often beats a box full of them.
Jennifer Meyer
Jennifer Meyer learned to make enamel jewelry at six with her grandmother Edith, then started her own line in Los Angeles in 2005. Notes on the jeweler behind these small gold symbols, and how to choose the one you will wear every day.
Gucci Eyewear
Gucci started as a leather goods shop in Florence in 1921, and its sunglasses still speak the language of that workshop: Horsebit hardware, bamboo and the interlocking G. Notes on the house behind the frames, and which pairs wear best every day.
DIOR Eyewear
Dior's sunglasses carry a little of 30 Avenue Montaigne, from the cane-chair Cannage pattern to the CD initials. Notes on the couture house behind these sunglasses, and how to pick the pair that suits your face rather than the campaign.
Johnstons of Elgin
Johnstons of Elgin has been turning raw fiber into cloth on the banks of the River Lossie since 1797, and you can feel it in the smallest things it makes. A note on the Scottish mill behind these scarves, hats, socks and gloves, and why I would start with a scarf.
DeMellier London Names Its Bags After Places You Want To Be
DeMellier names each bag after a city, and the naming is not decorative since every city corresponds to a specific silhouette the brand keeps year after year. That consistency means you can shop the range by shape rather than by season. This edit moves from the structured New York and Hudson pieces to the softer Siena and Stockholm shapes.
Dinosaur Designs
Dinosaur Designs turns resin into sculptural jewelry and home objects, letting bold color and rounded, tactile forms carry the whole idea. That material logic sets it apart from the polished metal and neutral ceramics that dominate most collections around it. This edit focuses on the pieces where that idea reads clearest, from earrings that interrupt a plain outfit to vessels built to be seen.
Valesque
Valesque builds its bags around slim handles and concealed hardware instead of visible branding, applying that same restraint across satin, velvet and nylon. The Berlin label, founded in 2023 by Valeska Dütsch and Sophie Berianidze, sizes the same idea up from compact evening shapes to roomier totes. This edit separates the smaller, evening-focused pieces from the looser, more practical ones.
YSL Earrings Put The Monogram At Ear Level
Saint Laurent varies one graphic, the Cassandre monogram, across studs, hoops, drops, and threaders rather than inventing a new mark for each piece. Scale and movement, not the logo itself, are the real styling decisions here. This edit follows that single shape from the smallest stud to the most dramatic tassel.
The Earring Does The Work
One strong earring can do more work than a whole jewelry box. This edit pairs eight statement earrings against the button-down shirts and gold necklaces that actually share the frame with them. The point is not more jewelry, it is picking the one piece that changes the outfit's balance.
Sculptural Silver Jewelry for Fall
Sculptural silver earrings, cuffs, bracelets, necklaces and rings, from Sophie Buhai and Khaite to Jenny Bird under $150, with notes on wearing silver with fall colors.
Alaia Bag: The Shapes That Are Genuinely Wearable
Alaia's bag shapes keep reappearing in different materials, from mesh to raffia to smooth leather, which makes the house's point of view easy to spot across an outfit. The Le Teckel and Le Click shapes anchor the range, offering a base silhouette that gets reworked season after season. This edit looks at which of those shapes are actually easy to live with day to day, not just striking on a shelf.
Alexis Bittar: Lucite, Gold And What Lasts
Alexis Bittar built a whole language out of Lucite and gold, treating a ring or a cuff like a sculpture you happen to wear. This guide weighs the sculptural resin pieces against the finer gold studs and chains for comfort, daily wear, and which ones actually earn a permanent spot in a jewelry box. The angle is longevity over novelty, since a bold piece only matters if you keep reaching for it.
Eugenia Kim
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.
Missoni Home
Missoni Home takes the family's zigzag knitwear pattern and applies it to towels, robes, cushions and throws. It shows up now because pattern has moved from clothing into the rest of the house, and a strong textile reads as personality rather than decoration. This edit separates the bathroom pieces from the pieces built for a living room.
Bloumme
Bloumme keeps its summer edit narrow, built almost entirely around two recycled thong sandals rather than a sprawling assortment. The Pilar sits flat and barely there, while the Arc adds a wedge that changes the line of a simple dress. Color is what actually varies here, so the point of this edit is picking the shade that matches the clothes already in a suitcase rather than choosing between wildly different shapes.
The Case for Buying One Good Bag a Year
Buying one good bag a year is a hedge against the endless scroll of new releases, treating a bag as something to wear in rather than replace every season. It works because a bag earns its keep through repetition, the same handle on errands and at work until it becomes part of how you dress. This edit runs from everyday totes to distinctive designer shapes, organized around the job each one actually does.
How to Wear Velvet This Fall
Velvet isn't only for the holidays. Velvet dresses and skirts, blazers and pants, and velvet shoes and bags, with ideas for wearing it on a regular weekday.
The Case for Buying One Good Bag a Year
Buying one considered bag a year beats replacing one every time a feed trend shifts. The habit works because a bag earns its keep through repetition, the same handle showing up on errands, at work, and on weekends until it becomes part of how you dress. This edit gathers everyday totes, evening clutches, and a few distinctive designer shapes so the choice can be about which job your current lineup still fails to do.
How to Wear Snake Print This Fall
Snake print is the animal print that behaves like a neutral. Python boots and pumps, snake-effect bags, belts and a few printed shirts, with notes on keeping it grown-up.
Knit Skirts for Winter
Knit skirts in grey, cream, camel and black, the sweaters and cardigans to wear on top, and the boots and ballet flats that suit them.
Navy and Black Together
Navy on top, black below: the knits, shirts and jackets, the black trousers and skirts, and the bags and shoes that make the old rule look outdated.
French Autumn, Rohmer Style
Camel knits, pleated skirts and a good loafer: the French autumn wardrobe, the way Éric Rohmer's films dress it. Here is how I would put it together for October, without a beret in sight.
Teal and Chocolate Brown Outfits
Deep teal and chocolate brown is the pairing I can't stop saving. Teal and turquoise pieces, chocolate knits and suede, and turquoise jewelry to tie it together.
