Cordova
Nozawa shearling ski suit
I was a luxury skiwear buyer in a former life, so I know an excellent ski suit when I see one. Bordeaux shearling, a proper waist and a flared leg. This is the one.

The October
List.
13 things I love right now.
Shearling, leopard calf hair, bordeaux, silver leather, unapologetic bows—and one crystal French bulldog.
By Malene Birger
Rowani leopard calf-hair jacket
The proportions are perfect: tiny body, oversized collar and those extraordinary curved sleeves. Leopard as a neutral, but with much better manners.

Magda Butrym
Shearling-trimmed wrap coat
Volume, silk lining and that dramatic shearling front. The coat has already made an entrance before you have.

Alaïa
Mini studded suede bag
Black suede covered in silver studs, but still unmistakably Alaïa. Tiny, serious, excellent.

Judith Leiber Couture
French Bulldog Louie clutch
A crystal French bulldog is not a need. Fortunately, that is not the point.

Jacquemus
Petit Vanity suede bag
Powder-pink croc-effect suede in a little vanity-case shape. Impractical in precisely the right way.

Balenciaga
Le City metallic shoulder bag
The familiar City codes, flattened into a silver evening bag with a chain strap. A very good remix.

Jimmy Choo
Faiz lace pumps
Deep-merlot lace, a sharp point and vintage-gold hardware. Slightly Victorian, completely after dark.

Alémais
Valentina bow-detail dress
Blush moiré and appliquéd bows, cut into a clean column. Sweetness with architecture.

Khaite
Keefe gold-plated earrings
A tiny sculptural slash of gold. The sort of earring that quietly fixes the whole outfit.
Shop ↗
Self-Portrait
Fringed knitted jacket
Red, mint, fringe and jewel buttons. It has the manners of a cardigan and the confidence of a jacket.
Shop ↗
Cartier Eyewear
Classic C oval sunglasses
Cool blue lenses, silver frames and just enough Cartier. Jewellery for the face, basically.

Pucci
Printed jersey minidress
End on colour. A tiny, body-skimming Pucci print that refuses to accept October as a beige month.
