A big part of my job as a fashion editor is to attend runway shows and market appointments to see what's coming up in the latest collections, stay current on the trends, interview leading industry experts, and know about the biggest drops in the fashion space before they are even released. I also oversee luxury content at Who What Wear, which means that I keep an especially close eye on the latest arrivals in the designer space. Often, I spot them on the runway or in a showroom and keep an eye out for them when they arrive in stores months later.
With that in mind, I'm making some predictions about the next key designer pieces to own. From the just-dropped buzzy items poised to be It accessories to smart, investment-worthy buys that have the makings of heirloom purchases, these are the best designer fashion finds to have on your radar.
The Cartier Baignoire Watch has been one of the buzziest timepieces in recent memory. Now, get ready for the just-dropped monochrome style to take over.
The Saint Laurent Y Tote is the new piece to know.
The Frame x Ritz Paris collaboration is too good.
High Sport's kick flare pants continue to be a cult buy, especially in colorful shades.
Chanel Moccasins, $1225
It's clear that these Chanel Moccasins are the shoes of the season.
A very good gift idea, in my opinion.
A beautiful piece from the Le Damier de Louis Vuitton jewelry collection that launched this fall.
Hats continue to be the key accessory to buy.
Powder pink is the color set to take over in 2025, and Khaite was one of the first designers to put in on the map.
The pearl pieces in the Tiffany Titan collection by Pharrell Williams are stunning.
The fashion insider–loved Le Teckel bag was just released in an east-west clutch version.
These Hermès sneakers are *it.*
The By Malene Birger coat I'm starting to see everywhere.
This Khaite pochette comes in 15 colors, but I'm partial to this orchid-pink suede version.
Polo Ralph Lauren's cable-knit sweater one of the key layering pieces of the season.
Classic trousers with a twist.
I'd recommend adding these to your cart before they sell out.
The Balenciaga Rodeo bag is major.
Just wow.
A new color just dropped.
You'll want to snap up current-season Carven before Louise Trotter heads to Bottega Veneta.
The Row's Park tote was just released in a new shade called Sandpit, which everyone is snagging.
Dreaming about these Gucci boots.
The Margaux now comes in clutch form.
