Style Advisor: Cult Autumn Essentials 10. October 2019 The word ‘cult’ gets bandied around a lot these days, to the point where it seems to have lost all meaning. Having said that, we’re backing these pieces by Fendi, Gucci, Thom Browne and Valentino. All have the attributions of a cult item – an A-list following, hypebeast approval and a niche design DNA. From turtlenecks to trainers, these are autumn’s most relevant pieces. Join the queue. THE FENDI TURTLENECK Turtlenecks are by definition sophisticated. Throw Fendi’s FF logo into the mix with a flash of neon green, and you’ve got an unstoppable force of grown-up style for now. The F-word, as we like to call it, is one of Rome’s most fashionable exports and its unique combination of directional style and Italian elegance makes it a must for autumn. Previous Next THE GUCCI CARDIGAN Any one of the pieces shown here cold pass for a cult item, thanks to Gucci’s unrivalled position at the apex of fashion. For now, we’re singling out this gold-woven GG cardigan. A fashion throwback that’s not dissimilar to something your grandad might wear – were it not for the iconic Gucci details and high-fashion finish. Unless you have a very stylish granddad, of course. Previous Next THE THOM BROWNE STRIPE At once classic and modern, Thom Browne’s signature stripe is recognised by style hounds across the globe. The American designer’s tailored sophistication comes with a side of schooldays-inspired fantasy that marks it out as unique. Liven up your day-to-day staples with the iconic striped chinos and knitwear. Previous Next THE VALENTINO JACKET Forever tapping into the zeitgeist, Valentino’s long-line hooded jacket is part everyday anorak, part Matrix clone. Both norm-core nostalgic and innovatively futuristic, wear with the label’s nylon track pants and UFO printed hoodie for a double dose of retro space-age style.
