F-OBSESSIONS

WHAT THE FEMALE TEAM IS INTO NOW

Portrait of Tammy Strobel


1. Nylon and Chantilly lace dress, $7,190, Prada

“Trust Miuccia Prada’s response to the Frankensteinian state of the world to be so seductive – from the unexpected combination of skin-baring cuts and fabrics to the toy-like floral applique.”

NOELLE LOH, editor-in-chief 

My Reading Room

2. Metal and cabochon earring, Gucci

“As far as I’m concerned, these are the ultimate statement ear-rings (geddit?). Extra points for being clip-ons.”

ADELINE ENG, senior designer 

My Reading Room

3. Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello acetate sunglasses, $490, Saint Laurent

“These graphic-patterned New Wave-style sunnies are exactly what I need to get into the new season’s punk trend. Siouxsie Sioux would approve.”

HISYAM A RAHMAN, graphic designer 

My Reading Room

4. The Sponge nappa leather clutch, $11,830, Bottega Veneta

“It took one kilometre of nappa leather to create the loops on this shaggy clutch, which alone makes it top my list of weird and wonderful fashion curios this season.”

IMRAN JALAL, fashion editor

5. Sienne (1979), Herve Guibert, gelatin silver print, 6 1/2 x 10”

“As part of the Photoespana photography festival, Loewe is hosting an exhibition of the deeply intimate work of late French author and photographer Herve Guibert – known for spotlighting the devastating effects of Aids at a time when it was taboo – at its Gran Via store in Madrid. Don’t miss out – it runs till month’s end.”

KENG YANG SHUEN, fashion writer

6. Courbette silk pumps, $1,530, Roger Vivier

“Inspired by 18th-century court shoes and topped off with a ladylike bow, these shoes are made for the contemporary Marie Antoinette. Plus, they come in my favourite colour: pink.”
