The Curator Edit: Wardrobe Esssentials From Arket Denim to No. 6 Clogs
The best wardrobe essentials aren’t dictated by trends; they’re shaped by people with an exceptional eye. To uncover the pieces truly worth investing in, we turned to three women with distinct perspectives on style: Brooke Savona, a Prada alum and founder of Flora Vintage; artist Daria Bambalina, who creates sculptural candles through her brand Taith; and Pelin Cinar, founder of handcrafted jewelry brand Milk & Rose. The result is a thoughtful collection of timeless staples backed by years of experience in fashion, art, and design.
Phoebe Philo
$750
“Sunglasses are essential for me — they instantly frame the face and define the attitude of a look. I love Phoebe Philo’s designs for their intellectual minimalism and sculptural clarity.”
Milk & Rose
$380
“I love our geo hoops for their convertible design. You can wear them fully assembled as a dramatic, double-link statement, or simply detach the bottom link for a sleek, minimalist single hoop that’s great for everyday.”
Arket
$119-$129
“I love Arket jeans for their clean cuts and reliable fit — they balance my more elevated pieces and make everything feel grounded.”
Levi’s
$$
“Vintage Levi’s 501s are a timeless staple in my wardrobe. The fit is so flattering, and they truly get better with age.”
Oxford Shirts
$$
“I love the effortless yet pulled-together look of an oversized Oxford shirt. I gravitate towards vintage styles for their fabric quality and tailoring.”
Church’s
$995
“Whether it’s Belgian Shoes loafers or Church’s tasseled loafers, I need classic loafers in my life.”
Carhartt WIP
$148
“I own 5 pairs of Carhartt WIP white pants. They are extremely comfortable and pair well with just about any top. Needless to say, these are a staple in my daily uniform.”
No. 6
$330
“No. 6 clogs are an everyday ‘slip-on-and-go’ shoe for me. Every pair is handmade and extremely comfortable.”
Acne Studios
$850
“I recently bought a sage green dress from Acne Studios. The fabric finish and construction are impeccable, it flows beautifully and I love the understated lace detail.”
