It's a collection that will carry you effortlessly from summer into autumn season with its misty mornings and soulful evenings. So, to get us all in the right frame of mind, here are some of our signature pieces from two of our favourite brands - Aspesi and Piazza Sempione. Their classic Italian tailoring, sophisticated fabrics and innate sense of style will get you back to work with a little va-va-voom. 

Aspesi's shirt dress is a must have, if you want to start and end the day looking effortlessly chic. Pair with a small Altea neckerchief or one of Tess van Ghert's dark bauble bracelets.

In some parts of the city, you sometimes feel like you need to dress for battle. Slip on Piazza Sempione's sleek, front-slit skirt and you'll be ready for anything.

Thank goodness for the lunch hour when you can sit back with a glass of something seriously delicious. Match that Amarone with Piazza's oyster blouse with pearl buttons.

Even in the most straight-laced offices its sometimes nice to sneak a bit of print in. Aspesi keeps it nice and classic with this eye-catching purple and yellow blouse. 

All work and no play is far too dull to contemplate. And grown-up prints are in for AW18, like Aspesi's tailored silk dress which will go nicely with that after-work Manhattan.

Something for the weekend

And, to get you in the mood for those autumn weekends, we're pleased to introduce you to Angelo Marani. His beautifully cut jeans come in spoiling velvet and the softest washed cotton with a hint of elastane for a perfect form-fitting look. Pair with one of Herno's mid-weight capes in fuschia or forest green.
