Sunglasses Under $500: Frames Sorted By Shape
Sunglasses under $500 are a very good place to be opinionated because the frame, not the logo, determines whether they earn daily wear. I start with the shape that balances the face, then look at the bridge, the arm width and the visual weight of the lens. Square and rectangular

Secondhand Gucci Marmont, Ophidia And Soho Bags

The hardest jacket to own is the one for the weeks when a coat is too much and a sweater is not enough.
Sanderlak Jeans and Outerwear
Sanderlak is the second act of one of the most missed labels of the last decade.
FRANÇOISE: Johanna Senyk's Paris Label of Deadstock Silk
Francoise is Johanna Senyk's most personal project after years spent working for other people's houses. The self-taught Paris designer, previously behind the cult label Wanda Nylon, has collaborated with Alexander McQueen, JW Anderson and The Row and dressed Beyonce, Rihanna and Taylor Swift. Her own label is made in Paris from couture deadstock and vintage fabric, which means most of what you see here effectively cannot be reordered. It's a personal favorite and items you pass down as heirlooms
DARKPARK: Inna Gerchikov's Wide-Leg Pants and Cashmere Tops
Darkpark exists because Inna Gerchikov could not find a pair of jeans she wanted to wear. She spent fifteen years importing Californian denim into Italy, then founded the label in Milan in 2021 with Maurizio Purificato, the Antonia co-founder behind Khrisjoy. It is luxury denim made in the Veneto and worked to precision
Slip Dresses
The slip dress has survived every attempt to retire it. It arrived from lingerie in the nineties, got written off as a costume, and came back as the default answer to almost every dress code that is not explicitly formal.
La Veste
The brand began with two friends walking to a show during Paris Fashion Week deciding, more or less on the spot, to start a brand. Stylist Blanca Miro and designer Maria de la Orden founded it in 2018 and named it after the French word for blazer, because at first that was all they intended to make. It is now the most recognisable of the new Spanish labels and still runs on the same instinct.
Meridian Swimwear Swimwear
Sisters Jordan LaGuardia and Terese Ostendorf LaGuardia launched Meridian Swimwear out of Brooklyn in 2022, bringing backgrounds in art direction and luxury womenswear design, including Terese's work at the label LESET, to a category they felt was missing their own point of view. The brand describes its look as relaxed minimalism crossed with retro nostalgia, filtered through the New York City sensibility where both sisters started their fashion careers.
Studio Amelia Shoes
Emily Amelia Inglis founded Studio Amelia in Sydney in 2019 after struggling to find a flat sandal that was neither too relaxed nor too dressy, and deciding to design her own. The debut collection launched with just four sandal styles in four colorways, and was an instant hit
Déhanche
Erin Webb, a California native who had already spent fourteen years in Paris and co-founded the outerwear label Nour Hammour, launched Déhanche in March 2022 with four belt styles. The name is French for the asymmetrical hip tilt seen in ancient Greek statues, and Webb designs each buckle like a piece of jewelry, cast-moulded rather than stamped, made in Italy to a specification she spent a year perfecting.
Jade Ruzzo Jewelry
Jade Ruzzo launched her eponymous fine jewelry line in New York in 2022, after a decade working at Conde Nast titles and as a personal stylist. The specific thing that drives the collection is family: pieces are named for and inspired by her late father Vic, a drummer, and her daughter Gloria, born in 2019, with the Percussion collection built directly around his cymbals and drum motifs.
