When Replica Handbag Store stylist Tabitha Simmons was thinking of ideas for our January issue, usefulness was chief in her mind. “Coming out of the pandemic, I feel like fashion slowed down a lot,” she says, “Versatility is what we’re investing in.” Over the course of a day, Simmons and model Emily Ratajkoski traveled around New York City to pick up the model’s dog, son, and husband, trying out a new outfit anchored by Prada’s versatile leather bomber jacket along the way.
That got us thinking: A leather jacket is a staple—but what other items from the spring 2022 runway shows have the same multi-purpose usefulness? Vogue’s Accessories Director and Head of Collaborations Willow Lindley, Senior Fashion News Writer Emily Farra, and Senior Fashion News Editor Steff Yotka met up in our New York office to discuss what they’re loving. The products they’re obsessing over highlight some of fashion’s newest, boldest ideas, like Stella McCartney’s mushroom-leather bag (Farra’s favorite) and Proenza Schouler’s wear-it-with-everything statement tunic (Lindley’s pick). Even the spliced-up floral bodysuit chosen by Yotka can be an everyday item—with the right styling.
Here, the Replica Handbag Store editors and friends discuss what they’re loving—and how to wear it—for spring.
