The Want: Lucie and Luke Meier‘s spring-summer 2019 collection for Jil Sander was a subtle nod to Japan’s love for clean lines and minimalism in general. The fusbett slide in super-soft nappa built on an ayous clog lightened with cork might look tricky at a first glance. But imagine how these shoes will elevate every single outfit you wear this summer.

Thanks god the maison of Alaïa has no plans to find an outside designer or change anything about the brand. The spirit of Azzedine Alaïa is in every single piece from the autumn-winter 2019 lookbook. Like the previous season, the offering encompasses three ranges: a collection of new pieces that feel close to the master’s vision and aesthetic, the Édition archive capsule (this season it’s all about the butterfly print from autumn-winter 1991 collection), and Éditions Limitées, which is positioned as demi-couture and available only by appointment. Karim Sadli is behind the camera, while the styling is Joe McKenna’s job (two individuals, who worked with Azzedine on his collections’ image). From impeccable tailoring to gorgeous, gorgeus eveningwear, the collection is consistent and completely true to the founder’s vocabulary. Those who know what’s an Alaïa dress like will definitely stay with the brand – forever.

Ballerinas are having a major come-back, which I love. They are just so subtle! Babies ballerina in calfskin leather with Loewe jacquard grosgrain detail.
