We have a new set of looks that we spotted on fashion month’s best-dressed celebs and insiders. Everyone brought their best to the street style scene and front rows, in the most fashionable and trendiest clothes.

Miu Miu ballet shoes

The satin ballet flats by Miu Miu are easily the most popular designer piece of the season. They were immediately snapped up instantly by insiders and editors. These flats helped to launch the balletcore trend, which gained a lot of attention this year. But you can rest assured that they’re a good investment because we are seeing ballet shoes remain one of the most popular footwear trends for the spring/summer 2023 collections.

Valentino Toile Iconographe

The new Toile Iconographe printed pieces by Valentino are huge. The new Valentino Unboxing show released a pattern inspired by the 1970s with an interlocking monogram «V». It covers everything, from belts and hats to the head-toe looks spotted on Zendaya and Nicola Peltz. Although all the pieces are beautiful, I am focusing my attention on the printed tights. I know they will be a popular item on the holiday party circuit.

Khaite Dallas boots

Although Khaite’s Western-inspired Dallas boot isn’t new, they are making a comeback as classic designer shoes. They’re a modern version of cowboy boots and feature a tapered toe, topstitching detail, curved heels, and a variety of materials, from shiny leather to soft suede. These are the perfect pair of ankle boots for pairing with jeans.

Tiffany & Co lock bracelet

The lock motif is an iconic symbol of Tiffany and Co’s history, with iconic pieces like the key ring and padlock bracelet. The house’s new Lock bracelets were unveiled earlier this year in one of the most talked about jewelry launches. It functions as a padlock, but it can be set in different combinations of fine metals or hand-set diamonds. The modern bangle has been worn by stars such as Sofia Richie and Hailey Bieber.

Nensi Dresses by Nensi Dojaka

Vogue’s spring/summer 2023 runway collection was revealed and Nensi Didjaka topped the list. It’s not surprising that these pieces, which are on the rise, are so in high demand. What is the key item you should buy? The signature dresses are made with floss straps, sheer panels and cutouts.

  • Nensi Dojaka Drape Halter Minidress

Chanel Premiere watch

As luxury investment pieces, timepieces are becoming more popular. Chanel’s Premiere Edition Originale Watch is a reissue of a 1987 design. This reimagined version features an octagonal face with leather-and-chain bracelet, which makes it feel like a combination of a bracelet or a timepiece.

Polo Ralph Lauren ID bag

Many of my friends have asked me for recommendations on totes-bags in recent months. Maybe it’s because so many people are returning to work, but I recommend the Polo Ralph Lauren ID bag. The tote bag is a cool and classic alternative to the traditional hobo bag. It can be carried to work or worn casually on weekends.

Magda Byrym flower pieces

Rosettes are one micro-trend that our editors cannot stop talking about since the spring/summer 2023 runway collection. Magda Butrym is a brand that creates beautiful floral pieces that blend beauty and elegance. The rosette trend is set to dominate in 2023 and the designs are in high demand.

  • Magda Butrym Ruched Silk-Blend Crope Halterneck Mini Dress

Celine Matelasse bag

Celine bags are a go-to style for fashion lovers who want timeless, cool and low-key bags. Matelasse is a new padded-leather shoulderbag with a chain strap. The brand name is also printed on the side in graphic golden lettering.

  • Celine Matelasse Bag

Cartier tank watch

While many of the cult pieces I have discussed are new this year, or season, I want to highlight one classic piece that has seen a surge in popularity: Cartier Tank watches. These timeless investment pieces have been around for more than 100 years and are now a top-selling item among fashion buyers. These iconic watches are highly sought after because of the rising interest in luxury pieces that will hold their value.

  • Cartier Tank Americaine Automatic 22.6mm Medium Stainless Steel and Alligator Watch

Bottega Veneta drop earrings

Bottega Veneta’s Creative Director Matthieu Blazy has brought new ideas to the brand. The brand’s new direction means there are many cool cult items to keep in mind, but the Drop Earrings are the most popular. These are selling quickly so be sure to add your name to the restocking list if you’re not able to get them immediately.

Alaia Le Coeur bag

We’ve seen «pretty» emerge as one the most popular trends this year. This includes anything with bows, pastels and sweet details such as florets. Is there a micro-trend in this category? Hearts. We’re seeing this shape everywhere, but Alaia’s Le Coeur bag is the best buy of the season. It is the one that every fashionista is currently wearing.
