Prince of softness
The material of the moment is suede
Softness is only one of its marvellous features: suede also enhances colour, responds beautifully to tailoring, is lightweight, and full of movement. That is why it is the perfect material for everything — shoes, bags, skirts, trousers. A suede skirt is a must-have for spring: the midi version crafted from ultra-soft lambskin by Bottega Veneta, or the super-light beige mini skirt by Ralph Lauren. Those who prefer trousers are simply spoilt for choice: the ultra-fitted model, like a second skin, by Stouls comes in a wide range of colours; the sporty, straight-leg version by Brunello Cucinelli; or Gabriela Hearst’s design with clear references to the seventies. And we cannot forget a true classic: the leather bomber jacket, delightfully reinterpreted in a feminine twist by Loewe.
