Inside fashion's new wave of quiet, intelligent luxury
For decades, the luxury fashion world has been shaped by a storied few — Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior — names so embedded in the public imagination that their mere mention evoked a sense of prestige and permanence. But as the rhythm of fashion accelerates and consumer priorities shift, a quiet but unmistakable changing of the guard is underway. Today, a new wave of brands — Loewe, Miu Miu, Alaïa, The Row, Khaite, Jacquemus, Magda Butrym, Savette, and Polène — is redefining what luxury looks and feels like. The Rise of Intelligent Luxury What sets this new wave of brands apart is not innovation for its own sake, but a deeper sense of purpose in design and a more nuanced approach to style. They prioritise craftsmanship over clout and individual expression over loud branding. Today's luxury consumers — especially millennials and Gen Z — are less interested in flashy logos and more drawn to pieces that feel personal and curated. Take Loewe. Under Jonathan Anderson, the Spanish house has become a cerebral and tactile force in fashion. The Puzzle and Squeeze bags are sculptural expressions of modern design, blending utility with artistry. Loewe's runway shows are immersive, fusing art, performance, and narrative. Anderson isn't just keeping up with trends — he's setting them. Miu Miu, once seen as Prada's younger sibling, has staged a bold comeback. Its micro minis, ballet flats, and gender-fluid silhouettes strike a balance between editorial flair and everyday wearability. Miu Miu resonates because it captures the cultural moment with precision, never resorting to clichés. Alaïa, under Pieter Mulier, continues Azzedine Alaïa's legacy of empowering women through refined minimalism. Structured bodices, sweeping coats, and sculptural heels showcase how restraint can be revolutionary. In a world of oversized streetwear, Alaïa's sharp tailoring feels bold and necessary. Made in America — And Making Waves Abroad In the US, the luxury movement has found two distinct voices in The Row and Khaite. The Row, created by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, was initially met with polite curiosity — celebrity-turned-designer efforts rarely inspire lasting confidence. But over the years, the Olsen twins have done what few could: build a brand that's whispered about in reverent tones in fashion circles worldwide. The Row has become a standard-bearer for 'quiet luxury' long before it was a hashtag. The fabrics are obsessive in their quality, the silhouettes monastic in their restraint, the tailoring almost devotional. There are no logos, no gimmicks — just pure, uncompromising refinement. It's the clothing of women who have nothing to prove and everything to protect. Among its most iconic offerings is the Margaux bag — a soft, structured tote that has become a global status symbol not because it shouts luxury, but because it exudes it. With its refined silhouette, supple leather, and barely-there branding, the Margaux has quietly become the handbag of those in the know. It's carried not for attention, but for intention — and that is The Row's entire philosophy in a single accessory. Khaite, led by Catherine Holstein, brings a sharper edge to the dressing room. Its denim, knits, and outerwear feel architectural yet wearable — luxurious, but never loud. These are clothes for women who value purpose and poise. Jacquemus adds a playful spirit to this movement. Simon Porte Jacquemus stages dreamy shows in lavender fields and coastal backdrops. But beyond the visuals lies a designer with a serious, distinctive vision. His tailoring is sharp, his silhouettes original. It's a brand full of warmth, charm, and clarity. Accessories Speak Louder Than Words While ready-to-wear commands attention, this revolution is perhaps most visible in accessories. Polène, a Paris-based brand, has carved a niche with minimalist and sculptural handbags like the Numéro Un and Numéro Neuf. Made in Spain with care and precision, they offer timeless appeal for the modern woman. In New York, Savette is gaining ground. Founded by Amy Zurek, a former Vogue and The Row alum, the brand combines vintage elegance with contemporary restraint. With structured leathers and geometric closures, Savette's bags are made to last — both in terms of quality and style. Magda Butrym, though under-the-radar, deserves mention. Her collections marry '80s glamour with modern romance — lace, appliqués, and bold cuts that channel quiet strength. Rooted in Eastern European aesthetics, her designs feel both personal and powerful. A Shift in Taste and Influence What drives this change isn't just new names, but a new mindset. Influence flows laterally now — from stylists, editors, boutique curators, and informed consumers. People crave stories, not just status. They want depth, not dazzle. The fast pace of trends has left many yearning for something more lasting. These new luxury brands meet that need with intention and care. They're not just selling products — they're offering perspectives. Even the shopping experience is shifting. Boutiques now feel more like galleries or salons. Loewe's Madrid flagship resembles an art museum. Jacquemus's pop-ups offer sensory delight. The Row presents a quiet, considered moment. The old icons — Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton — aren't going anywhere. But rising alongside them is a different kind of luxury: intelligent, introspective, and intensely personal. One that doesn't demand your attention, but earns it through substance. In a world that often feels chaotic and loud, this new wave of fashion is a gentle, deliberate rebellion. A reminder that real luxury was never about being seen — it was about being known.

Meals for Maycember
Hi, friends! Margaux filling in for Emily today. Tickled to be here. If you're a parent, you might be in the thick of Maycember, that end-of-spring flurry of activities that requires SEAL-Team-Six-level logistics and planning: school concerts, graduations, sports tournaments, dance recitals, field trips, themed dress-up days, classroom parties, teacher conferences, summer child-care planning. (What am I forgetting? Definitely something I'll remember at 3 a.m.) I personally love the hustle and bustle of the almost-summer season, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the idea of cooking dinner every night on top of it all is little overwhelming. My first tip is this: Don't. Schedule one or two (or three!) days for takeout, or something incredibly simple like store-bought frozen dumplings or burritos with a pile of cut up fruit and vegetables. For the rest, choose the most low-effort recipes in all the land, like those below. Many of them can be made in 30 minutes or less, are wonderful warm or at room temperature and can be tucked into a Thermos and eaten on the way to your kid's 87th activity. Ali Slagle's all-in-one dinner comes together in 20 minutes, thanks to clever use of the broiler. Serve with rice or tuck everything into a pita. Make-ahead tip: Toss everything together on the sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap and slide into the fridge until you're ready to cook. Make the two-ingredient sauce in a resealable container. (No need to refrigerate if it's just for the day.) View this recipe. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Claudia Winkleman uses chunky shoes and oversized bags to 'feel powerful'
Claudia Winkleman uses chunky shoes and oversized bags to help her "feel powerful". 'The Traitors' presenter has revealed she uses large accessories help her feel "a bit more in charge" in her daily life - admitting they give her little "boosts of power" that make her feel more confident. In a column for The Times newspaper, she wrote: "Sometimes (not often) I like to feel just a little bit powerful. I'm not a total turd, so please don't roll your eyes ... "What I'm talking about is tiny, incremental, life-affirming boosts of power. When we need to feel strong, a touch 'warrior' and a bit more in charge ... " Claudia went on to reveal that although she does like a stiletto heel, she's happier in a chunky shoe, adding: "If it's a stable and forceful look we're after, then we're going to need some heft in our heel." She listed Saint Laurent's Bianca platform shoes - which retail for £815 - as a favourite along with the Hoof boots by Alexander McQueen, which cost just under £2,000. Claudia also likes to keep her bags oversized, adding: "It goes without saying that your bag has to be big and confident. "It's saying: 'I've got stuff in here that might save the world/I've been to an extraordinary conference/Does your kid need stickers, an organic olive or pastel hair chalk?' "We need to feel pretty Mary Poppins if we are going to have swagger. What's in here? Oh, just a few Booker prizewinning novels, a live otter and a lampshade." Claudia's favourites are The Row's Margaux - which sells for around £5,000 - and Chloe's Camera Bag. She added of her jewellery choices: "Jewellery-wise, your look has to be equally forthright. It must be heavy (if it weighs less than a meerkat, it's a no from me). "And it always, always has to be gold. Think the A-Team's BA Baracus rather than dainty, and preferably without diamonds (diamonds are suddenly naff — sorry about that)." Claudia confessed her favourite Burberry necklace "weighs more than my kitchen" but insisted a chunky gold piece looks great with a white shirt or a black top with a round neck.
