*The* Celebrity Luxury Fashion Sourcer Told Us What to Buy for Summer
Whether you're in the market to buy or not, I think we can all agree it's fun to know what luxury pieces are new, trending, or gaining traction in the celebrity world. That's why—in addition to following It girls like Hailey Bieber, sites likeBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and stylists such as Sofia Richie's own Liat Baruch—I follow @gabwallerdotcom. Founded by Gab Waller, the global fashion-sourcing powerhouse is a favorite among shoppers, influencers, and celebs for getting your hands on those items that everyone seems to want but no stores seem to have in stock. "Sold out? Just ask Gab" is their motto, and ask I did!
Instead of asking for something that's already blown up, I asked Waller to share what items she thinks will be the next It pieces for summer. Not surprisingly, she delivered. From the $65 Éterne tank Bieber is wearing above to The Row sandals and everything in between, just keep scrolling to read about and shop her picks.
"I'm calling it now: These will be the sunglasses of the spring/summer season. The woman of the moment, Mrs. Sofia Richie Grainge, was spotted wearing them recently in beige, and immediately, I received an influx of requests. My suggestion? The white ones are the way to go. The outfit inspiration is endless."
"Stuck on where to find the best basics? Éterne is your answer. You can mix and match their pieces and build an entire summer collection from it. Not to mention, their quality is unbeatable."
"Nothing says summer has arrived like a beautiful white maxi dress. This LPA style was an immediate favorite."
"From day to night and everywhere in between, I know these The Row leather sandals will be an instant hit for your summer wardrobe."
"There's only one word for this coming summer: raffia, raffia, and even more raffia! It is, in my opinion, the number one trend of the season, and we will be seeing it everywhere. One of my top picks is this Loewe shoulder bag—the perfect size for on the go."
"Red is the color of the season, [as] seen across all the runways, and will continue to trend throughout the year ahead. This swim piece from Jade Swim can be worn both as a swim piece or bodysuit—we love a two-for-one!"
"You can't have a summer collection without a Jacquemus piece. They go hand in hand together, and I love this miniskirt with its striking red denim and ruffles with frayed edges."
"Run, don't walk, for these. The Adidas Gazelle sneaker will continue to be the sneaker of the season. This all-new aqua-blue-and-purple colorway screams, 'Summer is right around the corner!'"
"When I think of summer, my mind immediately goes to Cult Gaia. I envision myself in the South of France wearing one of their latest summer dresses, and I might just need to book that flight right about now. Bronzed skin, this color dress, a beautiful strap heel… Say no more!"
"We all need a terry tote bag for our upcoming pool or beachside days, and this new-season ACNE Studios style is a great easy-to-use style, especially in this purple colorway."
"Pink continues to be one of my most requested colorways, from phone cases to handbags and everything in between, so when I saw the Arizona in pink, I knew it would be an immediate hit!"
"My requests for any and all Celine sunglasses styles continue to rise season after season, and I particularly love this angular style shape for a unique touch to their classic style."
"Magda Butrym can do no wrong—in every category and especially in swimwear. I know everyone will be wearing this brand all summer long. It's one to jump on before we see those two dreaded words: sold out."
"With the rise of 'quiet luxury' at an all-time high, I can see these The Row sandals being very popular for the season ahead. Chic, classic, and, most importantly, comfortable—the three perfect Cs."
"Relaxed, easy to style, comfortable, and undone—the four descriptive words when I think of these Raey shorts. I can only imagine the endless variations in which these can be styled."
"Just when I thought the raffia of the season couldn't get any better, these Isabel Marant raffia sandals entered the chat. A must-have."
"Australian favorite Christopher Esber continues to push the boundaries on his designs collection after collection. Although this is referred to as a bikini top, I'm certainly planning on wearing it out afterward too. A top that can double as a bikini and evening top is a double yes for me."
"Jade Swim entering the clothing space is the summer wish we've been looking for. This beautifully rich-colored blue midi dress is a summer staple."
"They often sell out as quickly as I blink, so I would definitely run, not walk, to snap these up. Often referred to as the comfiest sandals, they 100% get my tick of approval."
"The cargo trend is not going anywhere anytime soon and is definitely here to stay. Styled with a relaxed tank top (incoming great suggestion below!), this look will easily take you from day to night."
"Gucci's logo hats continue to be a number one requested style for me each summer season, and I can see that occurring again with this all-new beautiful white crochet style."
"Semi-sheer, colorful, and that iconic Missoni zigzag print equals an immediate yes!"
"All eyes are on Alaïa right now, with my current sourcing request list growing by the day, especially for their footwear. For the perfect go-to white summer sneaker, you can't go wrong with the Alaïa x Superga collaboration style."
"Loro Piana will be the brand to watch for the season ahead (and beyond!). With a number of their styles becoming an immediate sold-out item, I recommend that we all jump on them quickly. This crochet tank top is a summer essential."
"The Row has produced beach leather flip-flops? Consider me sold! Also available in white, these will be an immediate hit for your upcoming summer vacation—wherever that may be."

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
