Let’s jump into it!
Just when we thought we had retired the 530s, Miu Miu drops Periwinkle Blue with Coco Gauff and we’re all sprinting back. The cult sneaker of the past year, reimagined, refreshed, and ready for another lap. Sizes keep popping up online but they do go quick.
I was lucky enough to attend the launch of Sofia Richie Grainge’s latest venture, SRG Atelier, and it’s every bit as refined as you’d imagine. Each piece exudes quiet luxury, but what impressed me most was the craftsmanship. The Carinnthia Cardigan is at the very top of my wishlist, the kind of piece you’ll wear all season and still reach for many years to come.
If there’s one thing I’ll always be drawn to for this time of the year, it’s shearling, and Alaïa gets it right every time. These double-faced merino ballet flats take everything I love about the texture and give it an unexpected edge. Bonus points that they also come in chocolate brown!
The shearling love affair continues, this time with Saint Laurent’s newest rendition of their cult-favorite Icare. The shearling blew up my DMs and it’s not hard to see why. It’s the ultimate cozy-meets-luxury travel bag, perfect for airport jaunts and winter escapes alike.
When Phoebe Philo dropped the Bombe sunglasses, it was only a matter of time before they disappeared. The queen of quiet power dressing has done it again, reviving that unmistakable Philo energy that we have all missed since her Céline days. Naturally, they’re already sold out (because anything Phoebe touches, is) but I am hearing word of a restock. If you find a pair, grab them whilst you can.
Loewe’s draped jackets have been everywhere this year (and for good reason) but lately this particular colorway has been at the top of my requests folder. Call me biased but you know I can’t resist a good baby blue!
So good that it gets a double mention in this month’s column! Another one of my favorite styles from Sofia Richie Grainge’s debut brand, these buttery soft sage green pants are the perfect suede pair to wear from day to night.
If you’re stuck on the perfect upcoming holiday gift idea, I’ve got you! No stranger to my Hot List is Real Fine Studio. The jewelry brand that has exploded in popularity over the past 12 months, and most recently, is now available to shop on Moda Operandi! My top pick? Their newest colorway in their iconic Heirloom Signet, Spice.
Jil Sander knew what they were doing when they were designing this style. Already displaying ‘last piece’ and ‘sold out’ across multiple sizes, this is the one to jump on now! Wear it with thigh-high boots for a sexy take on a classic midi skirt.
I haven’t personally seen a more perfect holiday shoe, until now! Introducing Jimmy Choose’s Lula satin sandal in a festive red, the style is decorated with bow accents and crystal-embellished straps. It’s a piece that’ll have you sorted for every holiday party this season. Consider yourself warned: they’re going to sell out quickly.
A style that was produced in multiple colorways (including in orange and black), this is the go-to clutch you will want to secure now for upcoming holiday events. I could go as far to say that this is the best evening clutch on the market at present. Saint Laurent was voted the #1 hottest brand for Q3 according to Lyst.
Bottega Veneta is certainly no stranger to my sourcing requests, with consistent demand weekly. This month, my focus has shifted to their classic Hop bag in pony. Already showing last one in stock, who will be the lucky person to secure it?
The Prada bag that I have personally been wearing nonstop. When I posted it on my Instagram Stories, responses all noted how chic it was. The shoulder strap is the perfect length, and I love the narrow belt that creates soft folds and tucks in the shape. Best of all, it fits a lot!
Celine Mini Dress
This has to be one of the most perfect holiday dresses that I have personally seen for the month ahead. Effortlessly chic and a staple designed to be worn endlessly for years to come.
With the ongoing success of their draped jacket (featured above), Loewe cleverly turned this design into a handbag. Aptly titled the Draped Tote, it’s available now in black and a dark chestnut. An excellent everyday piece if you ask me!
Dries Van Noten for the holiday season is, in my opinion, a must. Julian Klausner’s first fall collection is every bit of festive fun, and the pieces are definitely designed to be seen—especially at night. Their newest Humila skirt is equal parts chic and wearable, easily styled with the matching button-up for a sophisticated evening look.
The Andiamo clutch now available in shearling? Consider me (and many clients in my DMs!) sold. This clutch has trended heavily throughout 2025 and I do not see that slowing down as they continue to release new colors and textures. It does not get any better than this!
As you will hear me say often, I know a sold out style when I see one. Bottega Veneta’s newest shearling loafer is high up on my radar, having just launched and sizes already showing low in stock. A rarity with shearling loafers is that this pair are designed to be worn outside—a cozy indulgence you won’t regret.
Sound the alarms, your favorite (and sold out) shorts by Dôen are now available in black! Currently showing in a full size range, I personally see it styled with tights and various cashmere cardigans for the cooler months ahead. An easy add-to-cart moment.
Finishing with a fun new feminine style by Miu Miu, clients have been loving this style in my DMs and I can only see it growing in popularity over the months to come.
This time last week I was arriving back in Los Angeles from a speedy (and fun!) trip to New York. I headed over at the tail end of NYFW and was able to catch the Tory Burch show (SS26 can not come quick enough!) and attended the Vogue Business 100 Innovators list celebration. It has been a dream of mine, for as long as I can remember, to be named on the list so it was truly a moment I’ll never forget.
September’s Hot List:
I’m feeling really excited for this month’s column, as there are a number of seasonal trends that stand out. From funnel-neck jackets to leopard prints, a whole assortment of lace, and of course, lots and lots of suede. I’ve included below a number of pieces from all of these categories. Let’s jump into it.
I’ve got a close eye on Calvin Klein Collection and am excited for what is to come. It oozes every ounce of chic, especially their Parker wool jacket that is already showing sold out across various sizes. The structured silhouette is chef’s kiss.
The Row does it again, introducing another pair of unbelievably comfortable ballet flats, and this time in velvet! The taupe color gives a unique edge to the classic ballet flat style. These will most definitely be a sold out style.
Leopard, leopard, and even more leopard! We are going to be seeing a lot of it this fall, I am here and ready for it! Khaite’s Kye leopard clutch has a unique horizontal design, making it a distinctive piece to add into your wardrobe this season.
A Manolo Blahnik style that has been popping off in my DMs. We first received a request for them on the 17th of September, we then posted the image in our Finds series on Instagram, and the DMs went wild. A classic style that is both timeless and versatile.
The Gucci bag that has exploded in my DMs over the past two weeks. A popular runway style that had everyone buzzing, and that excitement has now translated through to its release. The pink and white have been the most popular and requested, with the green coming in as a close third.
There truly is nothing better than Alaïa and its footwear. This season, all eyes are on their irresistibly comfortable velvet thong sandals. Produced in two heel heights, I tried these on whilst in New York and did not want to take them off. If your size is showing available, now is the time to jump on them.
I’m sensing a very popular Celine ready-to-wear style here. Their newest sweater, produced in three shades, I’m trusting will be an instant hit—the brand’s RTW has that effect. My bet is on the baby pink.
I personally purchased this skirt whilst I was in New York and it is the perfect suede mini to snap up. I may go as far to say that if you’re looking to purchase one suede piece for your fall wardrobe, let it be this skirt. The styling opportunities are endless. PS: It runs true to size and sits perfectly on the hip.
A runway style that was recently spotted on Devon Lee Carlson, produced in the most beautiful silk satin pink. We are about to see lace everywhere for fall, and Gucci has come out strong with a number of styles that are selling out quickly. I’ll admit, I couldn’t resist snapping this one up for myself!
While funnel-neck jackets are trending (more on that below), as part of my research into these jackets, I discovered this new style by Jacquemus that caught my attention. The rounded neck line offers a unique touch, and let me warn you now, each size is showing as Last Piece.
Saint Laurent and lace go hand-in-hand. A top pick of the season is their long-sleeve top in noir, this is the style that you can buy now and will still be wearing many years to come.
Although the Rosa ballerina by Bottega Veneta is not new, their newest smooth leather styles are—previously, they came in the intrecciato weave only. My clients have been loving this almond-toe flat and the requests have been flowing in, most recently from a client based in New Zealand; I always love when styles pop off globally. Immensely comfortable and ever so chic, it’s an easy add-to-cart moment.
We all collectively need a go-to suede mule for fall, and from my research, this style by Jacquemus is not one to dwell on—we are going to see sold out sizes very soon. At a great price point for an everyday mule, and produced in the softest pale yellow, it’s an immediate (and very easy!) yes.
Gucci
floral lace tulle bodysuit
Not one but two Gucci lace pieces had to make it into this month’s column, sizes are selling extremely fast and I couldn’t not warn you all. The detachable elasticated belt may be my favorite finishing touch, the perfect amount of subtle Gucci branding.
A very fun shearling style for this season ahead, we first teased these on our Instagram in our Offered By series and they ranked in the top 3 most asked about styles. Butter yellow continues to maintain its popularity, that is not slowing down any time soon.
There seems to be skirt mania throughout this month’s column, but the data doesn’t lie—it’s what’s trending this month. If you’ve been on the hunt for the ideal leopard pencil skirt, your answer is here. It’s 100% silk and has an elastic waistband. I’m spotting ‘Only 1 left’ across all sizes—run!
Another Khaite must-have for the season ahead. Worn with or without the coordinating skirt, it’s designed for a relaxed fit that tapers at the hem and has wide sleeves, I’m expecting to see ‘sold out’ very soon. I particularly like the tan color way, it’s a gentle move away from the classic chocolate brown.
Spotted on both Morgan Stewart and Hailey Bieber within the past week, I’m prepared and ready for the requests to ramp up as sizes continue to sell out. For the fashion-forward buyer, this style features an ultra-pointy toe in a glossy patent leather.
New and certainly noteworthy, The Row’s Carla style is now here in velvet for fall. A classic style that is loved by many, the velvet brings us straight into fall and holiday—I don’t expect sizes to be around for long!
Magda Butrym
oversized leather bomber jacket
Finishing with the outerwear style of the moment, the funnel-neck jacket is here and it’s a must-have. It’s trending heavily at multiple designers, and you can’t go wrong with this new burgundy style from Magda Butrym. A delicious buttery leather designed for an oversized fit, it exudes confidence in every way.
