Start afresh
The Jewelled Satchel and Curve pre-fall 2022 collection by Alexander McQueen goes green — sage green, that is. While nature has always been an inspiration, this sentiment resonates even more as we enter a new phase in life. Just like the properties of sage, the muted olive with warm silvery undertones is a colour that speaks of re-emergence, alluding to a calming effect with its gentleness. Inviting a renewed energy, these accessories are perfect to enrich the softness and refreshment of the daily look.

Regal and refined
For its spring/summer 2023 pre-collection, Burberry celebrates the brand’s house code of duality — a juxtaposition of regality and refined utility, a modern twist on classic British femininity and functionality. This is seen in colourful workwear-inspired jackets and chain motifs on flowing silk shirts, English-fit suits and sporty coordinated styles. The iconic Burberry outerwear such as duffle coats and car coats come with stripes, pleated details and the Equestrian Knight Design. These are all paired with tactile pieces such as leather ties, biker trousers and padded jackets.
Art to go
The iconic Furla 1927 logo with the metal arch closure inspired by the Fondazione Furla architecture shines once again in the new collection. The logo is found on the unique clear-cut designs from crossbody bags coloured by leather patchwork stripes, to a new, sophisticated work bag. The Furla 1927 soft mini crossbody shines in a new rubber version with a scoubidou handle, or in a polyhedral marbled effect.

Start running
You can start running at any age; all you need is approval from a doctor and a good pair of running shoes — perhaps, a pair created by a French duo who initially designed footwear to satisfy their love for running on treacherous mountain terrains. Hoka is one of the fastest-growing performance footwear and apparel brands that designs footwear with enhanced cushioning and support. Each shoe is designed to be 50% thicker than the average running shoe, with marshmallow-soft and lightweight cushioned foam that offers shock absorption in every step.
Off-court style
Known for her sense of style, tennis star Naomi Osaka presents Levi’s x Naomi Osaka denim collection for spring/summer 2022. The collection includes five new denim pieces, each of which was based on original sketches by Naomi and made from 100% organically grown cotton. The designs feature a cascading Mermaid Skirt featuring contrasting denim and a ruffled, high-low hemline that makes for a short skirt on one side and a maxi skirt on the other. There’s also the Denim Halter Top, a streamlined light-wash denim halter, perfect for playing off the volume of the Mermaid Skirt, or the oversized Artist Coat — a mid-length, wide-sleeved, drop-shoulder coat featuring big patch pockets (with a Red Tab and arcuate stitching, of course) and contrasting mid and light-wash denim.
