CITY TRIP

To avoid a fashion faux pax many rely on black, white and beige when getting dressed. Sporting vibrant colors, like this bright magenta, seem too scary. But there is a very easy solution, to not look like a cartoon character: go for a classic cut. This YSL Rive Gauche statement coat does this expertly. The clean lines balance out the bright colors and create a coat, that can accompany you for many seasons to come, without looking dated. 

Like many of the most artistic fashion designers, Alaia preferred working with his hands, creating shapes directly on the body. His creativity has always been more important to him than financial success. That means fashion shows only took place, when Alaia felt like he had something new to show. So investing in a luxuriously heavy knit dress from the brand is almost like buying a piece of art. This one is featuring minuscule laser-cut details, one of the brand’s signifiers. The big box pleats create a flattering shape, an interesting structure, and creates an almost sculptural three-dimensional form. 

Couture, Glamour, and French femininity are at the core of the brand Nina Ricci. These classic hoop earrings are quiescently that. A very clean, mid-sized silver hoop is never really out of fashion. The little rhinestones placed on the front add just the right amount of glamour, to the otherwise very classic earring. An accessory made for decades to come. 

The Spanish fashion brand Loewe created this asymmetrically cut, oversized shirt. A longer front in soft pink is paired with a white, slightly cropped back. The white sleeves again are set against rose-colored cuffs. These are buttoned like a male tuxedo shirt, to create an unexpected accent. The staple shirt is boasting of details, is a staple garment, fitting for seasons to come.
