Whenever I want to get a pulse on what's next in the designer shopping space, I turn to celebrity product sourcer Gab Waller. She is known throughout the fashion industry as one of the leading experts who can hunt down practically any impossible-to-find designer piece. As a billboard in L.A. read for gabwaller.com advertising her team’s services, “Sold out? Just ask Gab.” Because of her reputation in fashion, Waller is constantly flooded with requests about new-season pieces as well as preorders for recently released collections.
Curious to find out which items Waller is betting on to be big from the F/W 24 collections, I asked her to pinpoint exactly which pieces are investment-worthy for next season. Ahead, Waller weighs in on the six designer shopping finds to add yourself to the preorder list for. If you don’t want to wait until fall to add them to your closet, there are some current-season options to add to your cart.

"Following the overall trend of lingerie dressing, Saint Laurent led the charge with a sleek and seductive offering. I'm suggesting investing in the trend via one of this season's sheer skirts." — Gab Waller
