Go Fish
One of our favorite multi-label boutiques, Rockstar, has expanded its portfolio of stylish goods to include Saint James, the 160-year-old French nautical clothing label that pioneered the Fisherman Sweater (knitted jumpers with cable patterns). Perfect for wintry holidays are their signature Breton sweaters in perfectly aligned nautical stripes, as well as quality wool and cotton pieces that won’t shrink in the wash ($79 upwards).
Brit Pop
For Spring/Summer, Raoul has taken influence from the works of various English artists, spotlighting constructivist Ben Nicholson in particular for its latest womenswear collection, featuring clean, curvilinear lines, minimalist construction, and abstract prints. Our favorite looks are the flirty bell-shaped Primrose skirt paired with Willow tee, the Elisa tunic with cut-out sleeves and skirt hem, and the breezy Sienna slip dress in wavy prints. $110 upwards.
