More Fall Favorites

“There is a really ragged zip-up hoodie that my mom used to wear when she worked in her garden that I stole from her when I moved to New York. I always pull it out in the fall. It’s completely falling apart, but I can’t let it go. I like pieces that have a history.”
—Julian Louie, fashion designer (julianlouie.com)

My favorite piece from my fall wardrobe would have to be my vintage lambswool “swacket.” It’s a thick, Irish ivory-hued knit sweater with a sturdy zipper, pockets and a big hood. It’s the perfect solution for when it’s too warm for a winter jacket but too cold for a light fall jacket.”
—Nina Werman, 32, co-owner of Valley (valleynyc.com)

“I love a black Rick Owens wrappy sweater that I have had for six or seven years. I reinvent it every fall by wearing it with different things.”
—Nicole Miller, fashion designer (nicolemiller.com)

“I always look forward to wearing a fall coat. I usually like a longer coat with a belted waist because it’s always flattering. But if there’s anything that’s truly perennial in my wardrobe, it has to be my Rachel Nasvik “Tabitha” bag. I’ve tried to replace it, I’ve even burned it by accident, but there is just nothing better. It fits folders, gym clothes and anything else I might need.”
—Lara Fieldbinder, owner of Dear Fieldbinder (dearfieldbinder.com)

“A few years ago I found a gorgeous black patchwork mink coat at a flea market. It is the essence of elegance, luxury and comfort.”
—Anna Sui, fashion designer (annasui.com)

“My mom gave me a Loro Piana cashmere cardigan many years ago. At first I thought it was so conservative that I would never wear it. On the contrary, I wear it with everything. I dress it up, I dress it down, I wear it out, I wear it at home—and sometimes I even wear it to bed.”
—Araks Yeramyan Andrews, fashion designer (araks.com)

“The piece I most look forward to every fall is a vintage trench that I got in Japan forever ago. It is one of the oldest pieces of clothing that I own, but it always looks great. I’ve patched it up a billion ways over the years, but I never grow tired of it.”
—Jason Wu, fashion designer (jasonwustudio.com)

“It’s so hard to choose just one favorite fall item, but I would say it is chunky costume jewelry that you can wear with worn-in sweaters. I also love wearing opaque tights with motorcycle ankle booties.”
—Carla Knapp, designer for Mischen (mischenclothing.com)

“I’m looking forward to wearing some new (old) shredded Levi’s with vintage fur jackets. I finally found a vintage mink jacket that’s very Margot Tenenbaum that I’m going to try to work into my outfits!”
—Chris Benz, fashion designer (chris-benz.com)
