FALL FASHION LOOKBOOK: WHAT’S IN STORE

BY INGRID SCHMIDT

Eight influential fashion brands highlight the season’s must-have looks and pieces.

 

Autumn is all about a mix of tradition with comfort and joy. Fresh spins on forever pieces inspire dressing up and going out. The season signals a welcome return to the stability of sharp tailoring, albeit worn with a relaxed attitude. Suiting is reinvented in a variety of forms: A double-breasted jacket and trousers, a tuxedo dress, a three-piece short suit, a boxy blazer with a denim mini skirt–even a logo-patterned track suit or a denim jacket with matching wide-leg jeans.  The secret is in the styling. Slip in a spangled Fair Isle crewneck, a bejeweled button-down, a houndstooth  corset or a skinny leather tie and channel some fall fun.

8 KEY BRANDS SHOWCASE FALL’S TOP FASHION TRENDS

GUCCI

Creative director Alessandro Michele’s “Exquisite Gucci” collection focuses on impeccably tailored suiting in vibrant,’70s-inspired plaid or quiet gray GG-logo patterns. Emphasis on the double-breasted jacket. Skinny leather neckties, imaginative takes on traditional shirting (here, with fanciful crystal-and-pearl detailing), and standout handbags complete the look.

FENDI

Women’s artistic director Kim Jones presents cropped, mock neck jackets with high-waist trousers that channel legs for days. Creative director of menswear and accessories Silvia Venturini Fendi offers relaxed-yet-polished silhouettes, bold graphic patterns, and a new go-to running shoe for the guys, as well as riffs on the iconic Baguette and a soft trunk logo bag.

Level 1, Jewel Court

THOM BROWNE

Continually redefining tradition, Browne serves up his latest iterations of skirting for all in tonal patterned black or white. The layered maxi skirt-dress pops against a crisp white button-down and bow tie, platform spectators, and a boxy camel blazer with contrast piping; his elegant evening uniform is topped off with a playful cloche pom-pom hat and easygoing desert boots.

714.410.8485
Level 2, Saks Fifth Avenue wing

SAINT LAURENT

A sleek double-breasted black tux with strappy, raspberry-colored sandals is all she needs for evening, thanks to creative director Anthony Vaccarello. Sharp double-breasted suiting for him, with polished gold buttons and cropped trousers, is perfectly disheveled by design with rolled cuffs and an undone necktie. The finishing touch: horsebit-strap penny loafers.

Level 2, Between Jewel and Carousel Courts

DIOR

New takes on the skirt (here, long and pleated in a statement print, paired with a flawless black turtleneck) are a focal point of women’s artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s “The Next Era” collection. Men’s tailored khaki jackets by creative director Kim Jones dress up with a paillette-coated Fair Isle sweater or dress down with ripstop bermuda shorts and tech sandals.

714.557.9600
Level 2, Between Jewel and Carousel Courts

DOLCE&GABBANA

The style messaging of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s collection is fit for the metaverse. Inflated shoulders and high-gloss fabrics for women took the form of a minidress with a matching logo bag and sculptural heels. For guys, the designers looked to Machine Gun Kelly as muse. Logo print track suits are reimagined by multidisciplinary artist Rocco Pezzella.

714.668.9142
Level 2, Saks Fifth Avenue wing

VERSACE

Leave it to Donatella Versace to add va-va-voom to suiting: a houndtooth corset layered under a boxy plaid jacket, teamed with a barely-there denim miniskirt. Her “Versace 2.0” men’s collection also caters to “the new generation,” featuring fresh takes on the signature Barocco and La Greca monogram patterns in punchy colors and a new high-waisted, wide-leg pant.

714.380.3237
Level 2, Between Jewel and Carousel Courts

BALENCIAGA

Creative director Demna Gvasalia (now known as Demna) channels the ’90s this season with “The Lost Tape” collection. Loose-fitting, flared”raver jeans” with a low rise reveal logo underwear and are worn with neon crop tops. Denim jackets take on slouchy oversize proportions, while some pieces are deconstructed with frayed edges to suggest grittier times.

“AND JUST LIKE THAT” FASHION UP CLOSE

SHOP THE LOOK: Style Highlights from the HBO Max Series

Photo: HBO Max

Fans of “Sex and the City” style (including us) rejoiced when the show was rebooted as “And Just Like That” on HBO Max. And with good reason.

The hit series is a colorful fashion candy store, whether it’s Carrie’s perpetually chic ensembles, Charlotte’s classically feminine or preppy Upper East Side outfits or Miranda’s increasingly bohemian wardrobe. The looks of the new characters – Lisa (artsy power mom), Seema (svelte power-dressing)  and Nya (boho and bold) – add such a head-turning variety to the nonstop parade of eclectic eyecatchers, we admit to having pressed rewind many times for a closer look.

The redux wouldn’t be complete, of course, without cameos from Carrie’s famous shoe collection – including the return of her beloved royal blue Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps, a star in their own right. Big slipped the jewel-buckled shoe onto Carrie’s right foot – the pump a stand-in for a diamond engagement ring – right after he proposed in the first “Sex and the City” film, ensconcing the satin Manolos in film fashion history.

Carrie decides to wear them again in the lead up to one of the most pivotal moments of “And Just Like That.”

KIM JONES USHERS IN A NEW ERA AT FENDI

BY MICHELLE DALTON TYREE

View the Fall/Winter Collection at the Boutique

 

It’s unabashedly a woman’s world at Fendi. And Kim Jones, the house’s new artistic designer is delighted to live in it, revel in it and design for it. So much so, in fact, that the wardrobes of the five Fendi sisters served as inspiration for the foundation of the collection.

“The Fendi family are women of intellect who work hard — and that’s what I wanted to celebrate,” said Jones. “A powerful dynasty.”

“

The Fendi family are women of intellect who work hard — and that’s what I wanted to celebrate. A powerful dynasty.

”

KIM JONES, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF FENDI

HIS DEBUT COLLECTION

Jones, a beloved menswear designer already fully ensconced in the LVMH family and its exacting DNA, brings his sharp tailoring skills and Savile Row savoir-faire to this celebration of Italian elegance and reverence of female strength.

And he smartly channels that strength in his debut collection into one serious power wardrobe, available at the South Coast Plaza Fendi boutique. Commanding attention in this fall line-up are luxe knits imagined in everything from cropped sweaters and pencil skirts to sharply tailored trench coats in gabardine and leather, a cropped shearling bomber in rich cocoa, double cashmere and camel outerwear trimmed with mink tricot.

Is the collection hyper luxe? Without a doubt. His signature tailoring doesn’t disappoint. But Jones has also infused his debut lineup with rich textures and a fluidity and ease that speaks to the unusual times we find ourselves in, and the renewed focus on effortless wearability. Think — a power wardrobe for pandemic times: Oversize shirt dresses with exaggerated cuffs, satin pajama pants with matching cropped tops (who will notice on Zoom?) and languid, draped dresses.

“I’m taking the amazing, strong women who I both know and work with, and listening to their needs,” Jones said. “There’s a usefulness to the collection, explored in a chic, timeless way.”

KARL LAGERFELD LEGACY

Never fear, Fendi Fans: Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy is, of course, still firmly rooted in the house and in this new collection as well — from Karligraphy monogram bags to Fendi First shoes and clutches.

FENDI FIRST BAG

Covetable handbags and accessories are still front and center under the direction of Silvia Venturini Fendi. This season the spotlight shines brightly on the debut of the Fendi First bag, with a tilted, oversized monogram “F” built into the frame of a clutch and designed as an homage to the brand’s playful irreverence. Take your pick of shearling, leather and exotics in sizes ranging from roomy enough to fit a tablet to a micro pouch that will induce major envy.

HAND IN HAND PROJECT

And this season, the Fendi Hand in Hand project — which enlists craftspeople from each of Italy’s 20 regions to reimagine the iconic Baguette bag — translates Campania’s artisanal excellence into a limited-edition series inspired by intricate wood inlays found in 6th century Benedictine monasteries. The result is a stunning, veneered structured Baguette with a baroque floral motif that looks equally beautiful displayed as an objet d’art or carried in hand. But we’d, of course, vote for the latter.
