Last week, we returned to Santa Fe after spending a week dashing through Paris for Fashion Week. While we have been to France and Italy already this year to begin buying for next season, this latest trip encompassed the bulk of our buy for Fall/Winter 2025. Among the stand-outs on our travels were bright red florals and soft pinks at Christian Peau, a veritable cashmere rainbow at the Avant Toi showroom, a quilted tree wrapped in Rianna + Nina’s intricate patterns, and a selection of impeccable Sicilian shirting from Asciari.
The knitwear coming for fall is equally promising, with lots of layers from Album di Famiglia, Boboutic, Lauren Manoogian, Nanna Pause and Isabel Benenato. Julian Klausner’s first full collection for Dries Van Noten delivered a mix of patterns and prints in bold colors—both a tribute to the past and a nod towards the future. At Biek Verstappen, Alabama Chanin and Horisaki Design & Handel the focus was on the handmade and hand finished.
Looking forward to sharing these special collections with you come fall.
Wishing you peace and beauty,
Shobhan
