Shohei Ohtani & Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Best Friends Tee

You may be surprised to hear (or maybe not) that Clarks shoes aren’t just popular amongst the residents of Europe.

And to express the shoes celebrated status on the island – where for decades they have been coined as “champion shoes” – DJ and designer Al Fingers have released a book, entitled Clarks in Jamaica. Available now in all good bookshops, this previously unseen style reference tells the story of the shoes and their presence in Jamaica – from the arrival in the West Indies one hundred years ago, to their transformation as the ‘rude boy’ shoe of choice during the 1960s. Featuring a host of brilliant photographs, interviews and never-before-seen archival material, Clarks in Jamaica will fit perfectly into any book collection.

Comfort is more than a trend—it’s a state of mind. Shohei Ohtani & Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Best Friends Tee For many of us, the relaxed vibes we get from wearing our favourite loungewear is something we’d very much like to carry into other aspects of our wardrobes, and spring/summer’s exploration of drapery is the key. “It’s no wonder that draped, ruched and artfully pleated fabrics continue to dominate the fashion arena,” says Almassi. “They are the true definition of comfortable, flattering clothes because they flex and change to suit the wearer, working around the curves of a body or adding shape where it might be desired. Not only that, but there’s always something reminiscent of romantic times of yore; Grecian goddesses, beautifully carved marble statues and swathes of Victorian taffeta come to mind, and I can’t help but fall in love with the charm of it all.” Fashion likes to work in extremes. Typically, you have the overtly oversized and the impossibly teeny tiny, and everything in between is something of a footnote. For the past few seasons, including spring/summer 2024, the former has reigned in terms of bags. “Whilst there will always be a place for the fantastical on the runway, there’s been a recent emphasis on wearability in fashion. From loose, wide-leg trousers to the rise of the flat shoe, combining style and function has become the order of the day for many of our favourite designers,” notes Alexander. “For the new season, designers demonstrated that wearability has diffused to accessories, too. Bottega Veneta plumped up its iconic intrecciato weave to a new, dominating shape, whilst Max Mara took practicality to heart with multi-storage solutions on its arm candy. It’s time to rejoice, over-packers, as both Tibi and The Row declared that even the humble clutch can be supersized.”. “In 2024, the anti-gym bag—oversized totes, weekenders, and mesh shopping bags—will be our new, versatile companions,” confirms Page. “Keep an eye out for Bottega Veneta’s luxurious basket bag—a true gem.” To further this point, Lyst also reports that searches for tote bags increased by 230% in the four weeks following Fashion Month.
