THE GAME CHANGER: THE WHITE STILETTO

It was once consigned to the fashion graveyard – an ’80s relic as outmoded as poodle perms and micro-minis. But now the white pump is having a triumphant renaissance as SS13’s unlikely style hero. With a sleek single sole, sharp toe and reed-thin heel, it will add punch to pantsuits and a futuristic edge to strong graphic looks. One tip: don’t go dancing around your handbag.

THE OFF-DUTY UPDATE: THE STATEMENT BOMBER

The bomber jacket has graduated from high-school jock uniform to an essential spring wardrobe update. In metallic silver or contrasting colors, it’s the perfect partner for this season’s ladylike pencil skirts.

THE GO-TO DESIGNER: JIL SANDER

WHO?

The mistress of minimalism – all eyes were on Jil Sander’s return to her label after eight years.

WHY NOW?

A new designer at the helm is always exciting, even if it’s an old new designer. Sander didn’t disappoint with her complex simplicity, offering fresh, modern and intellectual pieces.

THE DESIGNER’S TAKE?

“Understatement is the order of the day,” says Sander of her return. The message, like the collection, is simple: Jil is back.
