Investment bonds Last week, Sylvia Fendi herself graced our shores to celebrate the opening of her brand’s new boutique in Westfield Sydney City Centre’s luxury precinct. While her statement accessories tend to steal the limelight (much like the furry Fendirumi characters who flew in with her for the Sydney party), we’ve got hearts in eyes for this season’s ready-to-wear, created by long-term womenswear designer and family friend, Karl Lagerfeld. This A-line satin skirt with skewed hemline? Wearable investment art.

practical and pretty Have you heard of Tech Knit? It’s one of Nike’s signature fabrications, ideal for hoodies and pants given its super soft and stretchy, but still on the thicker side. Each year, the brand releases a hero product made from the luxe material. Say hello to 2017’s collectible: a cropped grey hoodie zip-up, which looks just as at home with jeans and heels, or under a leather jacket, as it does workout leggings. If embellished’s more your bag, you’ll love this sequinned grey knit offering from French Connection. Why not swing between both?
