Perhaps it is warm wood in white interiors and gilded chandeliers, or the tan leather of a convertible with the top down on a breezy afternoon; a sun-dappled corner of a favourite café or the warm woven wicker of a basket bag set off by the billowy white ruffles of a silk dress.
WE FIRST INTRODUCED wicker & rattan to The Shop over three years ago, by way of a simple seagrass market tote, long before wicker became the most coveted material for just about anything. Since then, we've added so many more different styles and shapes -- circular, basket, Birkin and market, and our current favourite, the Windsor Bamboo Top Handle Wicker Handbag.
IN 2009 VIRGIL ABLOH was an intern at Fendi with Kanye West. Before that, he was a DJ at a wine bar the midwest. Yesterday, the 38-year-old father of two made history with his debut menswear collection in Paris as the first African-American in the role of creative head at Louis Vuitton, prompting InStyle to dub him "the Meghan Markle of Fashion". The Ghanaian-American engineer/architect/DJ/designer/Ikea collaborator (who prefers not to be labelled) has been the artistic director of the French fashion house's men's wear collection since March 2018.
