Every Buzzy New Designer Piece to Have on Your Radar
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 newest 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 the next 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 best new bag to arrive in 2024, in this editor's opinion.
The latest Adidas x Wales Bonner sneakers are in, but they won't be for long.
Classic slingbacks just got a directional twist from Saint Laurent.
The Schiaparelli heels recently spotted on Kendall Jenner at the Academy Museum Gala.
The pearl pieces in the Tiffany Titan collection by Pharrell Williams are stunning.
The Bottega Veneta Andiamo is now available in a smooth leather version.
It's getting hard to keep up with all of the new colorways in The Row's '90s bag, but they just keep getting better and better.
