Spring/Summer 2022: Accessories Report
The Spring/Summer 2022 collection drew inspiration from Claire McCardell, the American designer whose revolutionary designs of the 1940s fundamentally altered how women dress. While there’s a gentle push-and-pull between the retro and the modern throughout the collection, you sense it most in the accessories that finish the look.
Cat Scan
Slip behind a pair of Tory’s cat-eye sunglasses and you might feel like Audrey Hepburn circa 1953. While this style gives a clear nod to the 1950s originals, our subtly angular take ensures all eyes are fixed firmly on the present.
Sterling Quality
Spring’s sculptural jewelry adds a subtle layer of refinement that at first glance is easy to miss. Zoom in on the artisanal plaques threaded with hand-stitched leather logo details that feature on bags, pendants and mules, however, and the level of detail comes into view. Double-band arm cuffs, curvilinear earrings and chokers crafted from sterling silver glisten against the exposed metal hardware details throughout the collection. The overarching mood is utilitarian but delivered with a refined femininity.
In the Shade
Never did an accessory garner more joy than with our latest release: the Lampshade hat. An inverse of our 1950s-inspired Lampshade bag, rendered in T Monogram raffia, it’s set to raise a smile whenever it’s worn.
Spring/Summer 2022: Backstage Beauty “Easy sophistication” is how hairstylist Guido Paulo described the inspiration behind the glistening wet-look styles he and his team created for Spring/Summer 2022. Falling in line with Claire McCardell’s guiding principles of comfort, ease and practicality, the team deftly created a straight-from-the-shower look, where models’ hair was slicked back at the sides and then left hanging loose, using Bumble & Bumble’s Multitalented Sculpting Medium Gel . The overall effect was modern, elegant and a subtle counterpoint to the vivacious color and print combinations peppered throughout the collection. 
COMMUNITY CULTIVATION: SNOW PEAK'S NEXT GENERATION Born on the unforgiving terrain of Japan’s Mount Tanigawa, Snow Peak was founded by Yukio Yamai, a Japanese mountaineer and outdoors devotee from Tsubame-Sanjo. Unsatisfied by the equipment he was using at the time, Yamai set out to change his fortunes by creating innovative mountaineering gear that would stand the test of time - sparking the flame that would go onto create a bedrock that is now known as Snow Peak.
