The Designer Drop

Saint Laurent

SAINT LAURENT

Logo-Embroidered Cotton-Fleece Sweatshirt

Whilst it is most definitely not sweatshirt weather, designer collectables wait for no one. This Saint Laurent piece riffs on the embroidered logo sweatshirts Yves Saint Laurent produced throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, updating the house's signature branding with the more recent "Saint Laurent Paris" logo introduced by former Creative Director Hedi Slimane. It may be quite an investment, but if there was ever a sweatshirt capable of making even the most casual of days feel decidedly fashionable, this is it.

Spotlight On

Sarongs

My holiday wardrobe isn't complete without a wide selection of sarongs. I usually head to the beach wearing a kaftan or beach dress, but I always take a sarong in my bag for when I want to head to the bar or go for a stroll without covering up completely. Five years ago, it was virtually impossible to find sarongs anywhere other than on holiday, but that has changed. From Toteme to Pucci, investing in statement sarongs that will continue to bring joy year after year is one of my favourite pre-holiday purchases.
