British designer Spencer Hart has long had a lasting affair with music, so it only seems right that this art form be the inspiration for his Spring/Summer show. Peanuts Snoopy I Dissent T-shirt Surrounded by the industrial pastings of the Old Selfridges Hotel, Mr Hart delivered a range of sartorially powered looks paying homage to the Latin/Jazz fusion scene in London. With a colour pallet of soft greys and blacks, the emphasis was placed very heavily on the fabric, cut and texture of the garments. Using a lightweight open weave fabric the house displayed a range of single and double breasted suiting – combined with a menswear staple…the white shirt. These sat very closely to lightweight cashmeres and smooth silks creating an exuberance of luxury. This minimalistic offering harnessed the brands power to excel in the most simple of ways. Shirts where given cutaway collars, and blazers had the addition contrasting patches. Within the formalities of the show lay surprise inclusions of Spencer Hart’s loungewear – modeled by famous clients alike – these features were bold but not arrogant; merely demonstrating the wealth of talent designer Nick Hart has at his disposal.

Prada opened its F/W 19 runway show with the Monolith Boots. Peanuts Snoopy I Dissent T-shirt Complete with an exaggerated chunky lug sole, mini zippered compartments for—dare we say it—storage, and the overall combat-boot vibe we all know and love, it was clear these boots were destined for fame the moment they stomped onto the runway. This shoe was not only present throughout the rest of the collection, but sister styles also debuted and later went on to evolve into several other versions including the oxford and rain-boot pairs (see shopping section below). Not that we don’t love the other iterations of this major sole moment from Prada, but the knee-high Monolith pair was really something else, and the fashion girls of the world clearly agreed. “The shape of the sole is so peculiar, and the tiny pockets create a totally new version of combat boots,” said one of our readers. Peculiar in a good way, of course, is typically what ends up encouraging the rise of any particular product, as it ignites curiosity and excitement in not only the wearer but the onlooker as well. This shoe is, according to celebrity stylist Law Roach, “so tough but so chic.” Thanks to the street style set, we’ve seen It girls and celebrities style the statement shoes in every which way, featuring, as Roach would say, looks that are tough but chic. This included easy dress-and-boot combos, styling the cool-girl shoes with jeans and a blazer, and much more. If the street style images above prove anything, it’s that 2019 was the year a new Prada icon was born.
