SMYTHE loves patterns for pre-fall
Power suiting is back, but then again, you already knew that. It’s been back for a few seasons now, and no one does blazers quite like the Canadian brand SMYTHE. And for its Pre-Fall 2022 collection — available in stores and online at the end of the month— it’s all about patterns. Think stripes and plaid options, in addition to a few fun florals.
Coco Capitan brings joy to her Charles & Keith capsule collection
What is fashion for if not to spark joy? London-based photographer and artist Coco Capitán gets this and has channelled that uplifting message into her collaboration with Singapore-based footwear and accessory brand Charles & Keith. “I wanted to create a message of optimism,” Capiàn says in a press release. “This is why I chose to talk about a wildflower growing in concrete. It seems incredible to me that nature still manages to grow in big cities, despite how difficult we make it for them. For me, this is an observation that carries hope within it.” We dare you not to smile while looking at these whimsical loafers.

Y2K comes to Call It Spring
Who says you have to retire your summer wardrobe when September hits? Not Call it Spring! For its Fall 2022 collection, the sustainable and vegan footwear brand has released a variety of Y2K and ’90s-inspired styles such as chunky sandals (yes, sandals in the fall!), loafers and boots. Butterfly clips and lip gloss are not included, although we highly recommend both.
