Amur

Sustainability is at the core of New York’s Amur, whose name

is an acronym for A Mindful Use of Resources. Founded by

Ronny Kobo and Cynthia Rowley alum Sofi a Shannon, the

label uses organic and reclaimed fi bres in pieces designed

to withstand the test of time. Bold colours and feminine

lines defi ne the collections’ silhouettes, with fall/winter

2019 taking inspiration from faded wallpaper prints and

characters from classic novels—such as Miss Havisham in

Great Expectations—with evening gowns in asymmetrical

shapes, and day dresses with raw hems and bright patterns

that exude vintage charm.

The LABEL

The LOOK

There’snosuchthing as too

manyprintsasfaras the

creative mind behind this

winning outfi t is concerned.

Channel your inner bohemian

princess by pairing a tartan

dress with a striped shawl,

then throw on a macramé

strap by Christian Dior for

good measure. Be sure to

mix in a futuristic pair of

sunglasses to modernise the

look, lest you be mistaken for

a time-traveller visiting from

the ’60s.

Chasing

Rainbows

Salvatore Ferragamo debuts 42 Degrees,

an eco-friendly capsule collection of

trainers and bags. Each piece is crafted

in Italy, with backpacks made from

plastic bottles transformed without

chemical processing, and all adorned

with the house’s iconic rainbow ribbon

and Gancini metal fi ttings.
