1. Alaia Le Teckle Bag
Sometimes the simplest things in life are the most impactful, which is particularly evident in the newest addition of Alaia’s bag collection. Showcased against the picturesque backdrop of the Paris Seine bridge during the Spring/Summer 2024 show, ‘Le Teckel’ bag has swiftly secured a coveted spot on everyone’s wish list. Undoubtedly, it stands as our favourite accessory of the moment, encapsulating the trend towards refined fashion and establishing the style narrative for 2024.The uniquely elongated and boxy rectangular shape features sleek and extra-lengthy shoulder straps. Minimalist, modern and cool, just as every Alaia piece. It’s after the French meaning for ‘Dachsund’, a playful reference to the tiny yet elongated beloved dog breed. Creative Director, Pieter Mulier expresses his love for extremes, aiming to create pieces that are feminine yet different for chic bourgeois women, which has materialised into this unique must-have accessory. Crafted from textured-leather in a variety of neutral colours, including striking red, this handbag also comes in a studded version for those seeking to add extra character to their ensemble. The practical design makes it an ideal companion for both daytime and evening affairs. Most importantly, it boasts plenty of space to fit your essentials. For the ultimate Alaia look, wear yours positioned high and upright. Model Natasha Poly opted to carry hers as a clutch on the runway, elegantly twisting and wrapping the straps.

2. Prada Satin Mules
Some of the best heels trending for the spring/summer 2024 season are barely heels at all! We’ve seen a strong return of the Kittne heel across numerous collections – Miu Miu, Valentino, Gucci, Dior and more! Yet Prada takes the lead with their latest kitten mule, consistently influencing significant shoe trends that will shape the future. I have been dreaming of these Satin mules since they graced the runway last September at Milan Fashion Week. They are a sophisticated alternative to the Kitten heel that has been trending. In an elegant satin, they feature a square-off toe and a rectangular patent heel – in fact, the iconic geometric form of the Prada triangle logo served as the muse for the heel design. These shoes will elevate your look with a distinctive and modern flair, and there is no denying that they will become the standout ‘it’ shoe this season. In vibrant pops of colour, defined by modern lines and architectural volumes, this is my absolute favourite shoe for Spring.
3. Khaite Refined Leather Jacket
The fashion world welcomes back the beloved styles of the 90s, resurging some of those classic closet staples with a refined and sleek aesthetic. What better embodiment of the decade than the leather jacket? Think back to the iconic matching Gucci ensembles of the Beckhams or the ever-stylish coordination from Kate and Johnny. However, this season, designers are infusing a more sophisticated touch into the trend, opting for discreet chic in their leather interpretations. A particular favourite is from Khaite, whose array of leather outerwear pieces evoke “an escape into the New York night”. Choose from the style that suits you best, whether it be a biker, blazer, buttoned-down, Khaite has the perfect options for you. Personally, I gravitate towards the Jacobson blazer – a sleek, strong-shouldered jacket in textured lambskin with elongated peak lapels and oversized flap pockets. The padded shoulders give the longline shape nice structure. It’s tailored to leather and I love it with a chunky oversized sweater underneath and straight leg jeans. It will elevate any look you choose to team it with.

4. Barrel Jeans
Trending for some time now and coined as the official denim shape for 2024 is the Barrel Jean. Serving as a contemporary update to baggy jeans, this voluminous shape has stirred the industry with its unique design, embracing the hips in a pronounced, curved fashion. Welcomed by numerous style icons, it effortlessly exudes a laid-back coolness reminiscent of baggier fits around the thighs while gracefully tapering off towards the ankles. If you’re seeking a stylish way to diversify in your denim collection, we’ve curated the best barrel jeans for you to explore. Personally, I love the more extreme kind by Alaia, available in a variety of denim washes. I wear mine with a simple white tee or lightweight knit with a heel to balance the proportions. For a more budget-friendly option with a more subdued volume, consider variations by Citizens of Humanity, Frame, and Lemaire.

5. Jacquemus Pablo Top & Dress
We are seeing Sheer-Draped as a key trend across numerous collections with delicate, diaphanous looks appearing to be spun around the body, capturing a feeling of lightness and grace. Jacquemus’ portrayed this so perfectly in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection titled “Les Sculptures”. The spotlight was on the Pablo dress during the show, as well as on Kylie Jenner who graced the front row in the vibrant red silhouette. Draping was a focal point across a variety of pieces, such as the Pablo, crafted from crepe to elegantly wrap the shoulders for rounded effect and evoke traces of old Hollywood glamour. Jacquemus is recognized for skillfully integrating both traditional and unconventional materials, blending natural fibers with cutting-edge textiles. This fusion not only gives rise to captivating textures but also speaks to the brand’s dedication to eco-friendly and innovative design. Exemplifying this contemporary vision of quiet luxury, the Pabo top and dress showcase unconventional tailoring, transforming them into elevated and distinctive pieces.We absolutely love the Pablo, as it’s timelessly elegant, lightweight, comfortable and would look incredible simply paired with denim or leather bottoms.
