This week’s fashion drops: pitstop denim, saucy accessories, and mermaid bling

Must read

A denim collection worth making a pitstop for, saucy accessories, and really, really, “ugly” shoes. Here are the fashion drops you can cop today, 5 July 2024.

The sneakerheads practically invented it, magazines can’t do without them, and if you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering what’s good with our version of a drops guide. Well, what you see is what you can—all of these fashion drops have landed this week in-store and online.

Bimba y Lola Autumn Winter 2024
Have you ever woken up with a desire to dress like an invisible, immortal angel that comforts the distressed in Berlin? If you did, you’d recognise the motifs from the Bimba y Lola Autumn Winter 2024 inspired by the 1987 film ‘Wings of Desire’. If you woke up on the other side of the bed and are in the mood for statement pieces — big bags with a capital B, ’80s baby doll party dresses, saucy patent leather thigh-highs, and merchandise-looking hoodies — then you’re in luck. The collection is a godsend as it stocks these exact pieces.

Shop the collection online or in-store.

Ferragamo East-West Briefcase
The capacious real estate of this bag — 39 centimetres in length and 28 in height – was made for people who conduct real business but if you’re the kind of dude with more superficial requirements for an everyday tote then let this one be the holy grail. It’s clean and minimalist for the more visually driven, develops a beautiful patina for those who brew kombucha and don’t wash their raw denim and comes with a subtle logo on the front for an equally subtle flex.

Levi’s® x McLaren Racing Collection
Formula #1 to revving up for the racewear trend that comes and goes in circles? Make a pit stop to cop the Levi’s® x McLaren Racing collection where pieces like the Racing Jacket and Heritage 501 are emblazoned with the latter’s vintage-inspired motifs and patches. You can even go all out to embrace life on the grid by purchasing a Racing Suit or add a little dash of sportiness with a Racing Bandana. Or, choose to wear them come F1 season and let them take the wheel for your outfits.

Heinz x Kate Spade Collaboration
While most of the fashion industry is playing ketchup today by initiating brand collaborations, Kate Spade has already learnt the secret sauce from years of doing so with the likes of Disney and Jet Blue. You can also always count on the New York brand to never dilute the flavour of these collaborations like their current one with Heinz with its 3-dimensional packet crossbody bags, pendants, and phone cases.

Skechers Foamies® Surge Sandals
How does a pair of “ugly” shoes become desirable to the hypebeasts and…the rest of humanity? Perhaps, they need to be so “ugly” that the former can’t resist them or so comfortable that the latter never wants to take them off. Skechers has the one-size-fits-all solution with the Foamies® Surge Sandals that have balls-to-the-wall colourways and an insole that feels like you’re walking on clouds. Or, stepping on the public perception of what constitutes good taste (but just to note, they also made it to this fashion drops story because of their flexible traction outsole).

Swarovski’s Fall Winter 2024 collection
Are you ready to know what the people know? That Swarovski’s Fall Winter 2024 collection is inspired by the sea? Even if you’re not a Disney Princess girl, there’s still something practical about the pieces from this collection—it’s never too early to start planning your holiday outfits (snowflake-inspired pieces will eventually drop later in the year) because once you do in November, so will everybody else.
