It’s not too late to hop on the chunky shoe trend like K-pop idol Hyuna – Loewe’s new wedge loafer boot adds a masculine edge to any outfit

Like Gucci and Prada, Fendi used econyl nylon recycled from plastics for its new bag, while Celine’s Hedi Slimane drew on Los Angeles 80s and 90s streetwear

The fashion world is in full bloom in September as international fashion weeks return and stylistas show off head-turning streetwear. From trainers to handbags, here are some of our favourite staples to get ready for the upcoming fashion extravaganza.

Fendi

Fishing nets and Fendi? No, we’re not talking about hosiery, but the Italian house’s new Baguette messenger bag crafted from fibres regenerated from fishing nets, carpet flooring and other nylon consumer waste products.

Econyl nylon has previously been used by a few luxury brands in an effort towards sustainability, including the likes of Gucci and Prada. The innovative fibre is 100 per cent recycled from plastics that would have otherwise polluted Mother Earth. Importantly, the quality of the synthetic fibre doesn’t change; it can be recycled infinitely and will be exactly the same as any brand new nylon product.

Other than its new square shape, the Baguette’s stand-out feature is its lightness, from the use of padded nylon.

There are everyday black and blue versions, as well as one in the iconic Fendi yellow, which can be worn on the shoulder or cross-body. We love the monochromatic hardware too, which has been painted to match the rest of the bag, whatever colour you choose. Offered in large and medium sizes, the Baguette makes a handy and stylish travel companion.

Loewe

Didn’t get on the chunky boot trend last winter? If you’re looking to rock it like South Korean singer and rapper Hyuna, Loewe’s new wedge loafer boot might be a chance to get up to speed.
