But it perhaps falls short of fashion’s current favourite: a long-line and bias-striped shirt from Talia Byre’s autumn/winter 2024 collection. The ascendant designer debuted that piece with a chopped-up Houndstooth skirt, thick woollen tights and open-toed sandals – “gallerina peculiarities,” as Vogue described the look – in an off-schedule presentation to a tight-knit group of people back in February. It retails for £275 and proliferated on the front rows at the spring/summer 2025 edition of London Fashion Week.“Talia Byre made rugby shirts her signature long before they became an It-item among the street-style set,” says British Vogue’s senior shopping writer Alice Cary, who dressed almost exclusively in the designer’s work during the London shows. “Hers are super soft with extra shoulder seams, a rigid collar and pockets – and can be worn as a dress or as a top.” There are at least three other people on this magazine’s masthead who have purchased that same top, perhaps believing, as I overheard one establishment figure effusing at Erdem, that Byre might just be the next Phoebe Philo.</div></body>
