And this is why we go to trade fairs. Trawling the halls at one of Paris's biannual accessories shows, we stumbled on a Japanese womenswear brand which halted any further progress. Founded by Yuka & Yusuke Nakagawa in 2007, Nicholson and Nicholson is all about impeccable craft and simple beauty.

For their third collection with us, AW25 very much embraces the brand's feeling for deconstructed tailoring. In a muted palette of white, navy and subtle grey check, this is your capsule wardrobe for the season. Mix and match perfect tops and shirts with your favourite Hakama pants or Dolly skirts. My personal order ran to 5 pieces (and that required restraint).
