The First Hermes Silk Scarf That You Can Throw in the Wash and Dryer.
The First Hermes Silk Scarf That You Can Throw in the Wash and Dryer.
Dry cleaning your Hermes 100 per cent silk scarf is officially over. The French luxury house has made that step obsolete with its Carre Wash scarves that are already pre-washed for a “relaxed, velvety and mattified touch, with a slightly faded and perfectly broken-in vintage look”. The only thing you have to remember: Put the washer and dryer on the delicate and low-speed cycles. From $600. – RT
"Patent leather booties, $1,630. Leather booties with bow, $2,160. Patent leather booties, $2,160."
Now that everyone is on to fuglies, what’s an It girl to do? Well, she moves on to something that’s not fugly. Miu Miu has answered the call with three ’60s-inspired Space Odyssey-meets-gogo booties – all with lookat-me colour, style and talking points.
Your New Bag Is A Pouch
It shouldn’t be a surprise, what with fashion referencing anything and everything that can be elevated – like the humble cloth pouch. Anthony Vaccarello’s take: recreate it in lambskin, add a cool brand (Saint Laurent Paris) and give it a name ( Teddy Pochon).
The Reissues
Both are from the 2000s. Both had a huge following. Now, they’ve been resurrected because their fan base didn’t die; it just got bigger.
S/S ’12 was a good year for Miuccia Prada: She was the first to introduce It shoes when shoes were still, well, just footwear. The Flame (inspired by ’50s cars, with cartoonish flames on its heel), was an instant hit, and is still highly sought after by collectors. Revived this season, the new Flames come in vibrant neons (seen here) or neutrals (black with orange trim, white with orange trim, and white with green trim). They’re no longer stiletto heels, but are now wedges, at $1,940 a pair.
Introduced in S/S ’00 by John Galliano, it was a most-wanted Carrie Bradshaw bestie in Sex and the City . After five years, it disappeared – but it’s back. Maybe Dior’s current creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, noticed “vintage” Saddles getting snapped up online. They’re in three styles for F/W ’18: calfskin, oblique canvas, or embroidered with beads, patchwork or fringes. Sizes: mini or regular. From $3,300 for a mini oblique canvas to $8,500 for the patchwork. Separate crossbody canvas straps are available.
