EDITOR'S LETTER

CONTRIBUTORS

Super charged • The future of fashion is more promising than ever, led by a fresh force of changemakers. Fronting the cover, First Nations models Em Stenberg, Tatyana Perry and Latahlia Hickling embody this shift.

Long game • Fashion that can be depended on to outlast a trend cycle is the right investment this season. Elevated silhouettes, grounded go-tos and pieces alive with energy are what to focus on.

In the heights • Could there be a better unboxing than one involving Saint Laurent’s knee-high camel boots in second-skin leather? With a knife-point toe, they’re the apex of elegance, with a sharp edge.
