A big part of my job as a fashion editor is to attend runway shows and market appointments to see what is coming up in the latest collections, staying current on the newest trends, interviewing leading industry experts, and knowing about the biggest drops in the fashion space before they are even released. I also oversee luxury content at Who What Wear, which means that I keep an especially close eye on the latest arrivals in the designer space. Often, spotting them on the runway or showroom and keeping a close eye for them to be released in stores months later.
With that in mind, I’m making some predictions about the next key designer pieces to own. From the just-dropped buzzy items poised to be the next It accessories to smart investment-worthy buys that have the makings of heirloom purchases, these are the best designer fashion shopping finds to have on your radar.
