Expert styling

“Patterned or statement coats are a great piece to add to your winter closet. I’d recommend a coat with beautiful structure to give an elegant feel – Dries Van Noten and Gucci deliver some perfect examples. And to complete evening looks, jewelry is such an important detail – most of my clients don’t feel fully dressed without their most special jewels. I love earrings and necklaces with colorful gemstones in the winter, especially for a party. And when it comes to styling your accessories for festive events, it’s easy to reach for black, but it’s fun and exciting to switch things up and try a pop of color with your shoes and bags. Mixing jewel tones with a black or darker-toned dress looks very elegant.”

Party dresses

“Valentino has the ultimate party dresses for the season – the brand’s selection of gowns is absolutely showstopping. And I particularly love the matching suit from the Pink PP Collection – it’s a fabulous alternative to the usual party dress. I also have my eye on Oscar de la Renta’s mini dresses, which are ideal for festive nights out with friends or colleagues thanks to their gorgeous jewel tones – the perfect palette for colder months. For New Year’s Eve parties, Balmain is a great option. This is the time to reach for sequins and extra embellishment and Balmain does this exceptionally well, with added structure to create an overall powerful look.”

Evening bags

“Jimmy Choo is perfect for party season and there is a stunning selection of metallic bags available onsite that will enliven understated outfits. Mini bags are also very on-trend for FW22. They fit your essentials – keys, cards, lipstick – and can be a bit more playful, as they won’t overpower an outfit. But if you want a party bag that is going to turn heads, Judith Leiber Couture is your go-to; the label creates statement pieces that will become collector’s items. Finally, Valentino Garavani’s evening-bag selection is beautiful. The crystal-embellished pieces are easy to dress up or down, depending on the event, and the added sparkle is ideal for those extra-festive parties or New Year’s Eve.”
