FEELING GOOD

FROM SCULPTURAL SANDALS IN HIGH-GLOSS PATENT TO CHIC EVERYDAY CARRIERS GIVEN A BOHO-ROCK MAKEOVER WITH MONOGRAM-STUDDED SUEDE, SAINT LAURENT’S SPRING/SUMMER 2020 ACCESSORIES OFFER A DIFFERENT KIND OF SENSUAL PLEASURE. TOGETHER WITH THE FRENCH MAISON, FEMALE ZOOMS IN ON THEIR “LIGHT TOUCH”.

The new Seau bucket bag sports an equally new, haute hippy-esque finish: cinnamon-hued suede covered in mini monogram studs. (Opposite) How to make the brand’s strappy, Cassandre logo-adorned Cassandra stiletto sandals even sexier? Remake them all over in high-gloss patent leather. All accessories, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent

A timeless shoulder bag with its neat trim lines and graphic, vintage-toned clasp, Saint Laurent’s Carre Satchel now comes in patent leather (top) and embossed leather in more unexpected colours such as this deep sea green. (Opposite) The new Kate Supple 99 shoulder bag is economical in size (fits all the essentials) and big on personality with its monogrammed suede finish.

YOU KNOW THE ADAGE “THE SUN IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE”? GOING BY FENDI’S COLLECTION DUBBED “SOLAR FLAIR”, IT’S TRUE. PUTTING A GIRLY SPIN ON ITALIAN SUMMER DRESSING WITHOUT DIALLING DOWN ON PRAGMATISM, CREATIVE DIRECTOR SILVIA VENTURINI FENDI DREAMS UP ONE OF THE SEASON’S MOST VIBRANT COLLECTIONS. ESSENTIALS LIKE TRENCH COATS AND PAPERBAG-WAISTED SHORTS COME IN LIGHTWEIGHT WASHED COTTON THEN PAIRED WITH MORE FUSS-FREE SEPARATES IN FUN OVERSIZED GINGHAM, GLAZED FLORALS OR A BLANKET-LIKE QUILTED FINISH. DRESSES ARE BREEZY IN STYLE AND FEEL – FROM SENSUOUS SUEDE WRAP DRESSES TO SEQUINNED ORGANZA TUNICS – WHILE BAGS SUCH AS THE PEEKABOO ARE REMADE IN RAFFIA AND LATTICEWORK LEATHER, ONLY ADDING TO THE ROMANCE. “I ALWAYS START WITH REALITY, WHICH IS WHY I WANTED TO START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE AN EMOTION: THAT ON A SUNNY DAY WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE FREE AND READY TO GO OUT AND MEET PEOPLE; WHEN YOU ARE MORE OPTIMISTIC TOWARDS LIFE,” SAYS FENDI. IF THAT’S REALITY, COUNT US IN.
