Blumarine cuts this mini dress from scalloped stretch lace and embroiders it with trailing foliage, paisleys and small flowers picked out in beads. A high ruffled collar closes at the back with a zip and hook, the long sleeves stay sheer, and a detachable slip dress sits beneath. At the cuffs and hem, the lace ends in scalloped eyelash edges.

Enny Monaco's Klos dress holds a fitted, princess-seamed bodice through the waist before releasing into a full, flared skirt that falls to midi length. Three-quarter sleeves and a plain round neckline keep the shape quiet, cut in a soft crepe with just enough stretch to move easily through the day.

Raquel Diniz cuts the Elena top in crepe cady, a dense acetate crepe with a faint rib and a dry hand. Strapless, it curves over the bust and narrows to the waist, its panels marked by rows of fine topstitching in the manner of a corset. Over high-waisted pants it makes a clean evening line.

The Vivian is a knitted long-sleeve T-shirt and the first layer Lisa Yang builds everything else on, worked in a fine single rib of cashmere blended with cotton for lightness. It fits close to the hip, with full-length sleeves and a straight hem. Black is the one to buy first and stop thinking about.

It fits close to the hip, with full-length sleeves and a straight hem. Deep walnut is the darkest of the three, near enough to black to layer under anything.

A jersey-inspired staple, the Vivian top is crafted in fine single rib knit cashmere blended with cotton for a light and lofty feel. The fitted silhouette features a round neck, full-length sleeves, a straight hem and a subtle all-over rib.

It fits close to the hip, with full-length sleeves and a straight hem. Soft sky is the outlier of the run, a clear pale blue against all that neutral.

Christian Louboutin's Ira sits on a 55mm heel that flares toward the ground, with a flash of red on its inner curve. The ankle boot is cut in suede calf leather in a deep chocolate brown, with a side zip, an angled seam across the ankle and a softly squared toe. The proportions are compact: a short shaft, a low flare, one dark colour.

Signature Alaïa ballet flats inspired by classical Japanese shoes. Buckle strap on top. Rubber sole. Perforated suede goatskin leather with the signature ‘Vienne’ motif. Made in Italy.

Aquazzura's Saint Honoré boot rises in espresso suede, cut close through the leg and finished with a concealed back zip. A block heel set at 50mm keeps the line grounded, and the suede's dense, matte nap holds the espresso tone evenly across the shaft. The pointed toe carries the silhouette to a clean, tailored end.

Aquazzura’s Saint Honoré rises to the knee here, made in Italy from velvety black suede and shaped to a rounded toe. A back zip runs the length of the shaft and a mid block heel keeps the boot steady through a long day.

Pleats worked into the body of a knitted T-shirt, structuring what would otherwise be a plain layer. The knit is open and breathable, cut close enough to read as tailoring under a jacket. Moon is the warm off-white Lanvin runs through the whole of this group.

Knitted for structure rather than softness, the Aleya is dense enough in Lisa Yang's double-face cashmere to wear as a jacket. A neat collar sits above a two-way zip, with welt pockets and ribbed trims holding the hip-length shape. Dark fern is a green pulled almost to brown.
