Bloomie’s Loves UAE

It’s no secret that Calvin Klein designer Raf Simons has a soft spot for Andy Warhol, first referencing the artist in his SS18 collection. And in an unprecedented move, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts will give the house access to a sizeable back catalogue of Warhol’s work.

 

Accessory Update

Statement earrings are still the easiest way to make a daytime impact and Leigh Miller’s molten creations are topping fashion-forward wish lists right now. After a decade in New York spent designing ready-to-wear pieces for powerhouses including Calvin Klein and J.Crew, Miller made the transition to LA and into jewellery, using lost-wax casting and hand-hammering techniques.

 

Alpine Chic

Net-a-Porter believes you should be putting as much attention into getting dressed for the mountains as you do for city life, and their Ski Shop ensures you hit the slopes in style whether you’re there for the activity or the après. Hero brands include Fendi and Perfect Moment, teamed with retro favourite Moon Boots for head-to-toe vintage cool.

 

Name to Know

If you haven’t heard of Broochini yet, the short story is chic swimwear and après surf. The minimal silhouettes are the kind of swimwear you spot on the beach and wish you were wearing, but what sets this label apart are that the pieces are handmade in Bali, where an ‘antioxidant dew’ is added, infusing the fabrics with nourishing vitamin E and healing aloe vera.

 

Branded Baskets

This season’s must-have accessory sees two of the biggest trends right now, bohemia and logomania, combine in the form of the branded basket bag. From Loewe to Miu Miu, your favourite big brands are championing this ’90s spin on the quintessential vacation holdall. But while raffia might be synonymous with jet-set style, these aren’t just meant for the beach.

 

Magic Wands

Pushed for time? These pocket-sized skin perfecters are the answer. Their formulas include skincare-worthy ingredients, so flawless coverage also equals healthy skin. Combining coverage, hydration and radiance enhancing pigments, give your complexion an instant uplift with one swipe.
