Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
A sensual mood was felt across the SS25 shows, with designers exploring the many facets of femininity in their designs, from soft and romantic to mysterious and seductive. Sitting at the latter end of the scale, Christopher Esber’s ‘Maico’ dress is cut from slinky stretch-jersey that skims your figure as it falls and has an open back framed by a clear quartz embellishment.
“Christopher Esber is my go-to for evening and event dressing. The elegant, flattering and timeless silhouettes of Esber’s designs always make me feel my very best,” says NET-A-PORTER’s content director, Alice Casely-Hayford. “For date night, I’ll be pairing the gorgeous ‘Maico’ dress with a chic ballet flat, like these from Le Monde Béryl, and finishing off with my favorite Saint Laurent bag, Lié Studio’s gold earrings and L’Atelier Nawbar’s complementary chunky 18-karat gold ring,” she adds. “I have several events around fashion week, so this dress will be getting another outing teamed with my favorite heels and an evening bag.”
For a low-key dinner or drinks, Proenza Schouler’s knitted ‘Leona’ top is an effortlessly elegant choice. It comes in a halterneck shape that’s easy to dress up or down, but looks especially chic styled with Stella McCartney’s crepe wide-leg pants – they’re made from lower-impact materials and are part of our NET SUSTAIN edit. Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Nuit’ sandals are crafted from glossy red leather and are just high enough to elevate your look without compromising on comfort.
Some say you’re never fully dressed without a spritz of perfume – the familiar olfactory notes of your signature scent can boost your mood and your confidence. If it’s time to replace an empty bottle, consider Loewe Perfume’s ‘Debod’ fragrance from the brand’s Un Paseo por Madrid collection, inspired by the Spanish capital’s vibrant culture and atmosphere. Blended with rose, saffron, amber and oud, it lingers on the skin all day long and smells irresistibly good.
