This week’s fashion drops: frankenstein sneakers, love letters, and prep perfection

A heart-stopping womenswear collection, sneakers silhouetted for all situations, and a preppy bag that whispers “first class this summer”. Here are the fashion drops you can cop today, 12 July 2024.

The sneakerheads practically invented it, magazines can’t do without them, and if you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering what’s good with our version of a drops guide. Well, what you see is what you can get—all these fashion drops have landed this week in-store and online.

Berluti Skyrunning Sneakers
For the dudes convinced that a pair of sneakers with a one-silhouette-fits-all-situations style exists out there, the fashion drops this week include the Berluti Skyrunning Sneakers that marry the easy casualness of running shoes (mesh and Vibram outsoles), the formality of boots (peep the patina-rich matte leather) and the ruggedness of hiking boots with their laces.

Carrera | DUCATI Collection
Formula 1 fans will recognise the DUCATI Panigale V4 detailing on the temples of these sunglasses but it’s the fact that they come pimped out with polished rubber end tips for no-slip stability and fail-safe comfort that brings them up to speed for modern living.

Dior Dioramour Collection
Wear your heart on your sleeve or if not, anywhere else on your body—the exact message is “Je vous Adore” which translates to “I Love You” of which appears on Dior’s instantly recognisable silhouettes. If you prefer a subtler statement, the phrase comes emblazoned too on minis like accessories, bags, and small leather goods which can be worn or gifted as little love letters.

Longchamp Le Roseau
It’s been shrunken down to a mini, morphed into a hobo, and reinvented as a phone case—Longchamp’s Le Roseau for the season proves that it’s hip to be square, especially when such an elegant bag is rendered in a palette of timeless neutrals like light green, celadon, and orange.

Mugler x Gentle Monster
The question regarding this collab isn’t about how it makes perfect aesthetical sense with one pioneering the boom of far-out-looking designer sunglasses and the other doing so with nonconformist takes on outfitting the body. It’s about how it took them so long to do so.

PUMA x Carrots Collaboration
Even if you’re unaware of Los Angeles streetwear brand Carrots By Anwar Carrots, it’s hard to deny that they’ve freshened up PUMA’s streetwear classics like cardigans, workwear pants, and graphic t-shirts. The freshest picks of the collection, however, are the Suede XL and 180 sneakers that come with a fresh coat of neon paint and hidden details that demand a double take.

Tory Burch T Monogram Crescent Bag
Tory Burch seems to be going through a style renaissance (two words: toe-piercing mules) but for those of us who still prefer its preppy staples, their Crescent Bag now comes woven in raffia and printed with the T Monogram that makes it whisper “first class this summer”.
