I'm a Luxury Fashion Director—These Are the Only Designer Buys That Matter for Summer

I know it's hard to believe based on how it looks outside right now, but a glimpse at the calendar confirms summer is not far off. In fact, in about two months, our social media feeds will be filled with stylish getaways of all sorts, from the manicured beaches of the Hamptons to the charming cobblestone streets in Europe. Naturally, we'll be keeping you up-to-date on where the style is set is jetting off to, but in the meantime, we thought we'd make a few predictions as to what the fashion set will be adding to their carts.
Each season, we predict which luxury items will come to define the next few months—the pieces we'll be seeing all over our social media feeds and on the street. Usually, our predictions are right, but sometimes, we need to tap the experts for their insider POV. Enter Hannah Lewis, fashion director at the beloved luxury sourcing platform Threads Styling. Threads works with customers all over the world to source the most-wanted designer buys on the market—from the perpetually-sold-out Alaïa fishnet flats to those impossible-to-track-down runway pieces—so Lewis knows about what will be hot before anyone else does.
We caught up with her to chat about all things summer 2024 fashion. Lewis shared her list of the designer buys she's focused all of her attention on, from the Miu Miu polo shirt that we can already see becoming an Instagram hit to the Mary Jane flats from Chanel's spring runway that our editors have been zooming in on for months now. Take notes—these 19 items will be everywhere in a matter of months.

"Mary Janes have made a serious return, and these are *the* shoes of the summer and a total sellout. DM us @threadsstyling on Instagram to source and shop them."
"Spinelli is one of my all-time favorite fine jewelry brands and a great stacking piece to own as part of your jewelry collection. Each one is completely customizable, and you can build your own if you wish. This is something our clients love, as it means theirs is a one-off."
