Pilates Girl Essentials

Pilates Girl Essentials

Pilates girl essentials are the leggings, sports bras and layers that work on the reformer and out of the studio. I picked pieces from P.E Nation and Sporty & Rich, plus a sports jacket from Rodd & Gunn.

Ulla Johnson Dresses

Ulla Johnson Dresses

Ulla Johnson grew up in Manhattan as the daughter of two archaeologists and launched her eponymous label in New York at the end of the 1990s, right after studying psychology and women's studies rather than fashion at the University of Michigan. Barneys New York bought her collection in 2000, and the label has since built its identity on natural fibers and craft techniques developed with artisan communities in countries including Peru, India and Kenya.

Valentino Garavani Shoes and Bags

Valentino Garavani Shoes and Bags

Valentino Garavani opened his own atelier on Rome's Via Condotti in 1959 and formally established the house in 1960 with Giancarlo Giammetti, an architecture student he met that year who became the business partner running the commercial side. The 1962 haute couture debut at Palazzo Pitti in Florence made the house's name almost overnight, and its saturated signature red, nicknamed Rosso Valentino, has stayed a house code ever since.

Michael Kors Collection Dresses and Knitwear

Michael Kors Collection Dresses and Knitwear

Michael Kors launched his own label in New York in 1981, after Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director spotted his talent while he worked at a boutique on West 57th Street and encouraged him to bring her a collection. The Collection line has stayed closest to that original premise ever since: glamorous, easy American sportswear built for how a woman actually moves through her day, not a costume.

Piecework Puzzles: The Best Ones to Start With

Piecework Puzzles: The Best Ones to Start With

Piecework is the Los Angeles puzzle company that gives jigsaws an art-forward, slightly mischievous point of view. I like it because it treats a puzzle as a slow, social excuse to sit down, and this edit is where I would start.

Chloé Shoes and Bags

Chloé Shoes and Bags

Gaby Aghion started Chloé in Paris in 1952, naming the house after a friend because a woman of her social standing was not supposed to have a job. The label made its name by treating luxury as something you could wear off the rack rather than have fitted at a couture house, and it kept proving that with the designers who passed through, from Karl Lagerfeld to Stella McCartney to Phoebe Philo.

The Park Dresses

The Park Dresses

Sarah Bonello, who spent years working in lifestyle PR, launched The Park in 2024 out of Los Angeles and New York with a simple premise: make getting dressed easier for busy women. The label built its name on classic basics and activewear designed to be building blocks for an existing wardrobe rather than one-off statement pieces, with an emphasis on circular, waste-minimizing production.

STAUD Dresses and Bags

STAUD Dresses and Bags

Sarah Staudinger, previously the fashion director at Reformation, launched Staud in Los Angeles in 2015 with business partner George Augusto, naming it after her own childhood nickname. The brand started as a made-to-order customization concept before pivoting to ready-to-wear once customers made clear they wanted the bags and dresses as designed, a shift that produced breakout accessories like the Bissett and Moreau bucket bags.

Sydney Evan Jewelry

Sydney Evan Jewelry

Rosanne Karmes founded Sydney Evan in Los Angeles in 2001, naming it after her two children, Sydney and Evan, and her late father, Sy, after years working in fine jewelry manufacturing and running her own accessories showroom. She launched with a single pavé-diamond horseshoe necklace and diamond-set charm bracelets, a hard sell to retailers at first until Serena Williams wore a Sydney Evan moon pendant in InStyle and Neiman Marcus picked up the line in 2006.

Bottega Veneta Shoes and Bags

Bottega Veneta Shoes and Bags

Bottega Veneta was started in 1966 in Vicenza by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro, two leathermakers who decided the House would never need a logo. The specific thing they built instead was intrecciato, the woven leather technique introduced in 1975 that turned a manufacturing workaround into the label's entire visual language.

Citizens of Humanity Jeans

Citizens of Humanity Jeans

Jerome Dahan and Michael Glasser started Citizens of Humanity in Los Angeles in 2003, right after a lawsuit win over their previous denim venture handed them the capital to do it again on their own terms. The label built its name on fit and finish rather than logos, running its own laser and ozone finishing lines so a single wash comes out consistent across thousands of pairs.

Norma Kamali Dresses

Norma Kamali Dresses

Norma Kamali has been dressing women out of her own instincts since 1967, long before anyone called it a personal brand. She turned a sleeping bag into a coat, a bikini into a cultural artifact, and a sweatshirt into eveningwear, then kept working past every trend cycle that tried to define her. Six decades later she still runs her own Manhattan store, which tells you everything about how little she has needed anyone else's approval.

Golden Goose Shoes

Golden Goose Shoes

Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo started Golden Goose in a garage in Marghera, near Venice, in 2000, when they were both in their early twenties. The brand's entire identity rests on a single idea introduced in 2007, the Super-Star sneaker, hand-distressed until it looks like it has already lived a life before you bought it.

PHILIP B. Haircare: Our Edit of What's Worth It

PHILIP B. Haircare: Our Edit of What's Worth It

PHILIP B. haircare here spans eight pieces, from a scalp kit to a shine conditioner. I picked the Peppermint Avocado Scalp Invigorating Kit, Forever Shine Conditioner and Scalp Booster, among others.

Isabel Marant Bags

Isabel Marant Bags

Isabel Marant started sewing at fifteen after asking her father for a machine, then trained at Studio Bercot and apprenticed under Michel Klein before launching her own label in 1994 out of a Paris squat courtyard runway show. Her first boutique opened in 1998 on rue de Charonne and remains the flagship today, the same neighborhood logic she's built her entire aesthetic around: Parisian, unbothered, dressed like you didn't try. She's the designer credited with putting the wedge into the sneaker around 2010, a shoe that a decade later is still copied more than it's matched.

FRAME Jeans and Knitwear

FRAME Jeans and Knitwear

Two Swedish former magazine colleagues, Erik Torstensson and Jens Grede, launched FRAME out of Los Angeles in 2012 with a single pair of jeans. Neither had designed clothing before, so they built the brand the way marketers build a brand, obsessing over one perfect mid-blue skinny jean before anything else existed.

Moritz Glik Jewelry

Moritz Glik Jewelry

Moritz Glik founded his eponymous jewelry line in New York in 2003, after leaving a shoe company he ran in his native Belo Horizonte, Brazil and teaching himself jewelry-making once he arrived in the city in 1991. His signature invention, the Kaleidoscope Shaker, encases loose, uncut gemstones inside capsules of white sapphire crystal and gold so the stones move freely

Haight Swimwear

Haight Swimwear

Haight swimwear pairs precise cuts and quiet color with beach-to-city layers, taking a restrained approach to resort dressing rather than the usual print-heavy shorthand. The label leans on proportion and how a piece sits on the body instead of asking color to do all the work. This edit separates the swim pieces from the knit layers that can carry a look past the beach.

Lisa Marie Fernandez Swimwear

Lisa Marie Fernandez Swimwear

Lisa Marie Fernandez builds a small wardrobe around structured swimwear, cover-ups, and destination separates meant to move from the beach to a real dinner. The label is having a moment now because more people want resort clothing that keeps working after the trip instead of clothes for one photograph. This edit looks at which pieces earn a place in the suitcase and which are better left for a single occasion.

Etro Dresses and Bags

Etro Dresses and Bags

Gimmo Etro started this Milan house in 1968 as a textile company, not a clothing label, built on a private collection of antique paisley shawls he and his wife Roberta had spent years assembling. The paisley did not become the brand's signature until 1981, after a trip to India, and it took until the early 1990s for Etro to sell a full ready-to-wear wardrobe at all.

Party Season Starts Earlier Every Year

Party Season Starts Earlier Every Year

The party calendar has crept steadily forward until it now overlaps with the season before it. Dressing for it has become a months-long problem rather than a December one. That changes what is worth owning.

Abadia Dresses

Abadia Dresses

Abadia brings Saudi craftsmanship into a modern evening wardrobe, with draping that feels architectural. Founded by Shahd Al-Shehail and her aunt Naeema the house draws on regional heritage while working in a distinctly contemporary register. The result is formalwear with a point of view, made for people who prefer a sculpted silhouette to a predictable party dress.

Gabriela Hearst Shoes and Bags

Gabriela Hearst Shoes and Bags

Gabriela Hearst grew up on her family's ranch in Paysandu, Uruguay, and after more than a decade working in New York design, launched her eponymous label for fall 2015 built explicitly around sustainability and a long-term view of clothing. The house has stayed close to that premise, from a partnership with the Uruguayan knitting cooperative Manos del Uruguay to a 2017 runway show run on roughly 30 percent deadstock fabric, while Hearst herself went on to lead Chloe from 2020 to 2023 as its first Latin American creative director.

AGMES Jewelry

AGMES Jewelry

AGMES makes New York jewelry with the clarity of small sculpture, using clean lines, recycled metals and forms that feel closer to architecture than ornament. Sisters Morgan and Jaclyn Solomon founded the label in 2016, drawing on modernist art, urban settings and the idea of the modern heirloom. The pieces are distinctive without asking for a maximalist outfit around them.

Ferragamo Shoes and Bags

Ferragamo Shoes and Bags

Salvatore Ferragamo trained shoemakers in Hollywood before returning home to incorporate his company in Florence in 1927, chasing better artisans than he could find in America. He spent the following decades engineering the shoe as much as designing it, patenting the cork wedge and steel shank and improvising with raffia and nylon during wartime material shortages.

Papier Planners: The Best Buys Worth Knowing

Papier Planners: The Best Buys Worth Knowing

Papier is the London paper brand Taymoor Atighetchi started in 2015 for notebooks, planners and cards you actually want to open. I like it because every cover looks chosen, and this edit sorts the shelf by habit.

Alessandra Rich Dresses

Alessandra Rich Dresses

Alessandra Rich makes occasionwear with a taste for florals, bows, ruffles and the kind of silhouette that refuses to be mistaken for a basic. Founded in 2010 by the Italian-born, London-based designer, the house grew from a self-taught beginning into a distinct language of glamorous, slightly subversive femininity. The collection is for dressing up with intention, not apologising for being noticed.
