LATE LEATHERS

This black lambskin coat in a patchwork design is rather atypical for Hugo Boss. The coat made out of 100% lambskin gets the different structures through different treatments of the material. In order not to overload the piece, it is a clean design without any frills and details. The coat is closed with two push buttons but looks particularly good when worn open, so the unlined inside is visible, on which the finely treated soft lambskin can be seen.

The “1969” chainmail shoulder bag is an iconic piece by this brand known for its futuristic design. Plastic, metal, brass and other things have been used to create memorable and exciting moments in fashion history. Finding a model made of leather and brass plates is rare, especially when it comes with a box. It is a perfect way to dip into the brand without donning a full-on armor of a dress. Increasingly seen on Influencers and across social media, the brand is starting to experience the comeback in fashion it deserves, instead of just being remembered for perfumes.

A vintage leather jacket is the perfect companion for cool days or even the first days of winter if paired with the right sweater. A tailored waist can be achieved with an integrated belt. When the jacket is worn oversized, the puffy shoulders dramatically contrast with the narrow waist for an extravagant 80s look. The four zipped pockets, on the other hand, give it an indie sleaze vibe and make the design a little cooler.

This bag model is called the peekaboo, has been introduced in 2009 and by now is one of the classic bags by Fendi. One of the style’s best-known features is the division in two parts that form one bag when closed. In the micro size, one side is closed with a push button while the other side features a twist closure. As a very small bag it will not fit any phones made past the flip-phone era but comfortably carry all other needed essentials. The top handle can be opened, so the mini bag cannot only be worn on its own but also attached to a bigger bag as an accessory. This multi-talent will stay around longer than your Christmas tree, due to its classic shape and color.

The Indy, coming with a structured handle is very Gucci. The regal handle it is covered in soft leather, instead of being made of the signature Gucci Bamboo. Some sources state, the shape has been inspired by a steering wheel, but not of back than current supercars, but antique ones. Looking at the luxurious feel and meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship this could very well be true. To be sure, one could ask Frida Giannini who the creative director at the time, responsible for the famous piece. 

Getting ready for a trip to an exotic location? An exotic-looking bag is a perfect companion, updating the Indy to a more current look.

The Lanvin boots are carefully created with a mix of color and leather. Featuring a thick block heel, the most in the now heel shape provides them with a more current look. The Knee-High boots, seen on every runway, are very attention-grabbing. Gold details on redirect the attention to the boot, which is definitely made for walking. The contrasting burgundy and oxblood on the other hand tone down the boot and give it a day time appropriate feel.
