CREAM IS THE NEW BLACK

This lightweight shirt is by Italian masters of quality. The long-sleeved top is made off a soft rib fabric in a creamy oatmeal shade. Being high-necked and slightly stretchable it can be worn both oversized and tailored - versatile and flattering for every possible wearer. A classic basic that can be kept for many years.

One of the most contradictory iconographies in the fashion world is probably the Burberry check. It's conveyed every image - from the outdated look of upper-class Britain, to something that's been a symbol of counterfeits, only to emerge from every change stronger than before. Here it is used as a pattern on a blouse, most likely created in the early 2000s. An indication of the design date is not the fully buttoned-down front but the classic collared shirt being paired with three-quarter-length sleeves.

Best known for long camel-colored coats the brand also offers the ready-to-wear to match. The Italian fashion house is making a point of creating classics, with a focus on consumers, who invest in classic garments. The pieces provide a clean canvas, to portray your own personality. Like Italian cuisine, it is simple, has the best ingredients, and is deliciously good. 

This cashmere sweater is light as a feather and comes in a warm caramel color. In a time of cut-outs in winter, this keyhole neckline could be a first toe in the water, without contributing to the landfills of fast fashion overproduction.

A Persian lamb jacket is giving a 70s vibe, with its straight lines and oversized collar. Here the chocolate brown lambswool is a classic coloring, which can easily be kept for many more seasons. Closed with hook closures the coat is keeping the upper body firmly warm, while two pockets are added for more practicality.  

Copper, mock-exotic skin and a pointy toe – these Alaia heels defiantly have a lot going on. But the statement portion of the shoes is balanced by the clean lines and classic design why a surprisingly versatile pair of pumps is created. 

The mix of hobo and satchel style is allowing a bigger-sized bag to remain structured, yet soft and laid back. As one of the OG IT-bags, on the verge of becoming vintage, it has been on the scene since 2005, introduced by Silvia Venturini Fendi herself. The classic model naturally is covered in the distinctive Zucca print. The brown crocodile leather paired with the heavy fabric of the bag is unmistakably Fendi and the essence of what made this particular bag and IT-piece and collectible.
