Fashion Forward

We've given our thoughts on the Fall 2025 collections shown in New York, London, Milan and Paris throughout fashion month. Now it's time to ask the real authorities in retail, those who determine what ultimately makes it into stores six months from now: buyers.

With all this talk of a slowdown in the luxury market, you can bet that designers made sure to flex their commercial muscles when finalizing the Fall 2025 collections they showed over the last several weeks. You can also bet that luxury womenswear buyers will be as discerning as ever in planning their assortments for the upcoming seasons.

Below, buyers from influential retailers including Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, Ssense and Essx share the looks that caught their eyes and pieces they're most excited to stock come fall. Based on their picks, it's going to be a big season for Chloé, Khaite, Jil Sander and — as always — Miu Miu. Plus, fur might be just as ubiquitous in retail as it's been on the runways.

Calvin Klein Collection: "Veronica Leoni's first collection for Calvin Klein Collection was respectful towards the brand's legacy, nodding to the archives whilst still feeling of the moment given the slimmer silhouettes, which have been dominating this season. We loved the '90s take on tailoring, particularly this grey collarless jacket-and-pencil-skirt duo."

Abra: "We saw a lot of faux fur coats and shearling this season, and Abra really nailed it with this fierce double-layered coat."

Ann Demeulemeester: "Stefano Gallici has truly found his groove at Ann Demeulemeester, delivering strong styling that blends romanticism with a rock edge. I love the poplin collars paired with distressed denim."

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
