What do Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, a host of the globe’s leading influencers and every fashion girl under the sun all have in common? Some may literally have the world at their feet, but all of them are as keen on wearing the same shoes from the same designer as the next.

How so? Well, despite those celebrities and bloggers having endless options of what to wear—with designers willing to give, loan, and in some cases even pay them to wear pieces—and likely generous shopping budgets on top of that, these women share a proclivity for one shoe brand in particular. And if you haven’t guessed yet, the name in question is none other than the iconic Manolo Blahnik.

There are countless popular shoe designers and brands out there, and we cover them all the time. But this case is especially interesting because it’s not often that you have royals, mega-bloggers, models, world-renowned performers and more all wearing the same brand regularly (and on repeat) for at least a few decades in a row. In other words, the Manolo Blahnik wearer doesn’t fit in one style type, demographic, or box, but a deeper dive into some of the choices within the brand does help to paint a bigger picture of why it’s so popular across the board.

From classic pumps that are fit for a princess to on-trend PVC sandals that rival the trendiest of versions, it’s the comprehensive umbrella of styles (all of which are perfected to a T and made to the highest quality) that make it the It girl’s choice time and again. To get a better idea of what I mean, simply continue on.

Rihanna

Back in 2014, Rihanna stuck strictly to the iconic two-strap Chaos sandals but has since branched out to other styles such as the PVC Scolto (also a frequent choice of Kim Kardashian West) and even collaborated with the brand on her own collection.

Aimee Song

Ever since Aimee Song posted about receiving these as a gift from her boyfriend, we’ve spotted her wearing them countless times, proving they’re not just pretty to look at, but they’re also surprisingly versatile.

Victoria Beckham

We’ll let the fact that the designer of a world-renowned label (and original fashion girl) considers the BB style as her go-to speak for itself.

Shop her shoes:

Giorgia Tordini

The street style star turned designer (whom we just happened to recently feature in our Spring Issue) is a regular wearer of the brand, and true to her style, she tends to opt for classic pieces that still make a statement—a tactic that many other Italian girls also make. As seen above, her choice of an embellished slingback is right for today’s glitzy shoe penchant but will likely also never go out of style.

The Estro, one of the brand’s newer styles, has already gained the approval of Kim Kardashian West, her pal Chrissy Teigen along with Miranda Kerr. They’re perfect for wearing with a dress or jeans (and lengthening your legs in the meantime) or under trousers, as seen on Rosie.

As one of the more editorially inclined content creators in the Instagram fashion set, Evangelie, also known by her handle @styleheroine, unsurprisingly opts for one of the brand’s most trend-forward PVC styles.

Emily Ratajkowski 

Emily Ratajkowski, or as we like to call her, Emrata, demonstrates just why statement accessories are so necessary for girls who love wearing jeans.

Shop her shoes:

Meghan Markle

Much like VB, Meghan Markle is an avid proponent of the classic BB. Unlike Beckham, however, Markle has strictly opted for neutral shades thus far, likely due to the nature of her duties. Navy, nude and the above-pictured black are currently in her rotation.

What do Aimee Song, Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Victoria Beckham, and Rihanna all have in common? Well, quite a few things actually. They’re all some of the most talked about names in their respective spheres (influencer, royal, model, designer, singer—you know, the usual), and when it comes to fashion, they all have the world at their feet. It’s worth noting that I chose that expression because in the case of today’s story, it takes on meaning both figuratively and literally.

How so? Well, despite all having endless options of what to wear—with designers willing to give, loan, and in some cases even pay them to sport pieces—and likely generous shopping budgets on top of that, these women share a proclivity for one shoe brand in particular. And if you haven’t guessed yet, the brand in question is none other than the iconic Manolo Blahnik.

Now, you’re probably wondering what the big deal is. After all, there are countless popular shoe brands out there, and we cover and shop them all the time. And I get it, but to me, this case is especially interesting because it’s not often that you have a soon-to-be princess, mega-blogger, model, and world-renowned performer (and more) all wearing the same brand regularly, even if it is such a famous one. In other words, the Manolo Blahnik girl doesn’t fit in one style type, demographic, or box, but a deeper dive into some of the choices within the brand does help to paint a bigger picture of why it’s so popular across the board.

It seems that bag trends are changing entirely almost every season, if not every month. From micro and box bags, to top handle, or larger styles (such as the hobo or the leather backpack) there seems to be a new trend in the forever interchanging mix. So it's not at all surprising that something new (but also old) has caught our eye of late. We've spotted the drawstring silk pouch hanging daintily from the fingers of street style starlets everywhere. Since you may not remember holding one yourself since the days of high school formals or awkward school dances in the '80s and '90s, we're here to show that we have cold-hard proof you're going to want the new luxe versions.

The perfect size for only the essentials, the silk pouch is a no-fuss lesson in focusing on just the basics. And we're taking styling cues from Attico designers Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio since they have been frequently seen both holding the bags in their hands as if it was a clutch, or just casually letting them swing from the drawstring by the tips of their fingers. Simple, feminine, and delicate.

Keep scrolling to be inspired by the street style looks and to buy your own silk drawstring pouch. 

Style notes: We're not shying away from print on print. Break it up with a hefty dose of black. 

Style notes: Wear contrasting colours to make your silk pouch become a statement of its own.

It's not the first (or last) time we've talked about the Italian bombshell street style It girls and designers Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio. Their brand Attico brought about some trends that made us second-guess pieces that we may have never worn again and made us think about trends (like pyjama dressing) that we'd never thought we'd wear on the street. Attico, meaning penthouse in Italian, radiates subtle sexiness and bold character with its signature piece—the silk robe. It's time to meet the evolution of the utilitarian duster coat and say hello to the sleek satin robe.

With a plunging neckline, cinched waist, and thigh split, there's not much else needed to make this piece stand out from the crowd. Don't fret about having to wear this on its own though. From pairing with classic denim jeans to statement gold earrings, there's a high chance you already own the basics we'd style the robe with. Irrespective of price points, we like to invest in pieces that are versatile season to season, day to night, office to bar. With five looks below, don't blame us for wanting one of each. As the fashion duo says themselves, "Each piece will teach, too: how to make thrown together appear dressed up, dressed up feel everyday, and how to make every entrance feel like the entrance."

Keep scrolling to see how the Italians have styled the satin robe and to shop the look.

Style Notes: A short silk robe with detailing is all the more glamorous. Slicked-back hair and a pair of beautiful heels are an essential match.

Style Notes: Layer a embellished sheer top underneath the robe, keep the heels classic, and add statement jewellery. 

Style Notes: Go bold and opt for a statement print. Let the robe do all the talking and pair with basic heels and minimal jewellery. 

Style Notes: Pastel colours for spring work well with this trend. You can't go wrong offsetting the robe with a white tee and classic blue denim.

Style Notes: Taking note of Tordini's understated look of a delicate printed robe, paired with the classics; black bodysuit, black heeled sandals, and jeans.

To be honest, we’re pretty enamored with the pieces you'll spot in an Italian-girl wardrobe. Wearing everything from bold statement pieces to minimalistic silhouettes, Italian girls have a unique and captivating take on personal style. Really, it just seems like they’re throwing out the rule book and having fun.

While each girl has her own distinct style, we’ve noticed some key pieces that are essential to Italian-girl fashion. First, there are embellished heels. Patricia Manfield has proven that crystal-adorned versions are a must, even pairing hers with track pants for an elevated take on athleisure. Then there’s the robe: This editor will go so far as to suggest that Italian girls like Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio helped usher in the robe-coat trend, a style that became a signature of their luxe label, Attico.

Want to know the other key items Italian street style stars like Diletta Bonaiuti and Manfield are wearing on repeat? Keep scrolling to see just how stylish they are, and shop the eight pieces you need to make Italian-girl fashion your own.

1. Robe Coat

Italian girls have proven that the robe coat is a new wardrobe staple. The versatile piece can dress up even a simple T-shirt and jeans.

2. Animal Prints

Instead of a loud animal print, try something more minimal and graphic.

3. Bold Outerwear

When it comes to bold outerwear, go for maximalism. Try a blazer in a vibrant shade.

4. Bright Colors

Follow Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert’s lead and reach for brightly colored pieces. They’re even better when they’re worn together.

5. Embellished Heels

Take a style note from Patricia Manfield and pair embellished heels with track pants.

6. Flat-Top Sunglasses

Flat-top sunglasses make a cool, retro style statement but still feel completely modern.

7. Miniskirts

Offset a short miniskirt with a turtleneck sweater.

8. Statement Earrings

Wear a pair of statement earrings in a large hoop silhouette.

Ever since Demna Gvasalia sent Balenciaga S/S 17 down the runway, we've been buzzing about the unexpected fabric that featured throughout the whole collection: Spandex. 

While it immediately makes us think of bad '80s exercise tapes, the way Gvasalia integrated the unexpected fabric into the collection makes it feel fresh, new, and covetable.

Proof that we aren't the only ones that feel that way? One of the standout pieces from the collection—over-the-knee spandex boots, has been seen all over the street during the A/W 17 shows in Paris.

The boots are currently available for pre-order, and we think they'll become one of your best winter buys. Keep scrolling to see how they're being styled, then pre-order a pair for yourself.

Luckily for us, street style photographers love a stylish duo as much as we do, and there's one Italian pair in particular that they couldn't get enough of in 2016. Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio started off as consultants for brands, street style stars, and friends. (Fun facts: They're both quite statuesque and go practically everywhere together). After meeting a few years ago, the stylish Milanese pair decided to combine their classic (Tordini) and bold (Ambrosio) aesthetics in the form of their own vintage-inspired label named Attico (Italian for penthouse). Their first collection launched last February and was promptly snapped up by major e-tailers like Net-a-Porter, Matches Fashion, and Moda Operandi, and quickly sold out.

In an interview with Buro 24/7, the It girls cite vintage shops and flea markets (including furniture and interiors) as their biggest sources of inspiration for their seasonless collections, which explains the stunning embroidered and velvet robes and kimonos that have become their trademarks. 

Upon perusing Tordini and Ambrosio's directional outfits from the past year (below), it's clear to see their style is influencing what other fashion girls are wearing and brands are designing (robes, velvet, long dresses layered over jeans, dusters, satin kitten heels, statement sleeves, etc.). Much to our delight, the insiders are introducing denim and accessories with their S/S 17 collection, and we're already anticipating that the satin pouches, thick-buckled ankle bracelets, cropped flare jeans, and backless mules will garner long waiting lists.

SHOP ATTICO

Next up, check out three other new brands every fashion girl should know.

On a recent showroom appointment to see the new Net-a-Porter collections at Sydney PR agency, MCMPR, I witnessed the first collection in a long time that actually stopped me in my tracks. Enter: Attico. The new wave of fashion. Italian designers, Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio have combined their different aesthetics, and launched Attico in Feburary of this year.

The brand has already picked up an impressive rollcall of stockists—Opening Ceremony, Luisa Via Roma, Matches Fashion, Net-a-Porter, and now Stylebop, so no doubt, it’s about to blow up.

What is it about this label that made me stop? It’s unique. Each piece has its own decadence—embroidery, rich fabrics like velvet and satin, hidden splits that show a hint of skin, and slinky shapes that can be dressed up and down. I’m always on that eternal quest to achieve effortless style—and I think this collection is all of that wrapped up in one easy package.

A blush pink velvet dress, metallic wrap dress, and embellished cape all sound like pieces worthy of being seen on a runway, not on the street, but they're surprisingly wearable. The easy shapes and soft flowy fabric mean I can imagine wearing each piece in my everyday (which isn’t all that glam, FYI).

When I returned to my desk after that fateful showroom visit, I did some googling and discovered the brands co-founders Giorgia Toridini and Gilda Ambrosio are often snapped on the street in their own designs—and their effortless styling proves my point. The designers are leading the way for luxury and decadence every day of the week.

Keep scrolling to see the designers in the label, and shop my favourite pieces.
