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 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.
