We are celebrating Birkenstock’s birthday, still love everything with animal print and adorn ourselves with the most colorful jewelry – here are our fashion trends of the month.

Smooth Moves
The leather look always works. This season, however, we’re opting for soft material instead of rough leather. Midi skirts, pants, blazers and co. are smoother than ever. We prefer to dress from head to toe in a soft look.
Collaboration
Leo
What do an outerwear brand and a label popular with Gen Z have in common? Not much, you might think. Wrong, because the collaboration between Barbour and Ganni has resulted in probably the coolest jacket. This one checks all the boxes: stylish, with a trendy animal print pattern, wearable from fall to winter to spring. We’ll grab one before they’re all gone.
It-Piece
Blood Red Bag
Whether weekender, mini clutch or everything in between: Bags shine in the most beautiful dark red this fall and winter, like this model from Ferragamo. If you are completely addicted to the color, you can dress in it right away – and shoes also look great in burgundy red.

Evolution
The iconic kicks have been around for 250 years. That’s enough time to have gone through several transformations. Anyone who still thinks Birkenstock shoes are synonymous with dusty hippie slippers or boring health shoes has some catching up to do. Subcultures have always made the iconic shoes their own. Today, however, they have long since arrived in the mainstream. With collaborations such as with the Berlin label 032c, covered in glitter and on the feet of stars such as Gigi Hadid and Miley Cyrus, the slippers have increased their coolness factor – without losing their identity. This is celebrated in “The Book of Birkenstock” on almost 700 pages. Over 1,000 images illustrate the history of the brand – from traditional shoemaking to unseen glimpses into the archives, everything is included. A must for the coffee table of all Birkenstock superfans.

Color me up
Anyone who hasn’t binge-watched the third season of “Emily in Paris” is lying. Or simply doesn’t like shallow, fashion-conscious entertainment. Particularly attentive eyes may have noticed the gaudy pieces of jewelry from NeverNoT, which made several appearances in the spotlight. Emily herself, among others, adorned herself with the colorful creations. Kylie and Kendall Jenner are also avowed fans. It goes without saying that we are now completely smitten with the statement pieces.
Unfuck the World
Regeneration
Restore 8,000 hectares of land with one dress? It’s possible. The winter dress from ba&sh consists of 55% regenerative wool and 45% organic cotton fibers. And thus contributes to the financing of these 8,000 hectares of agricultural land. NATIVATM regenerative wool has strict requirements: They include the introduction of perennial grasses on natural pastureland, the reintroduction of native tree species and the restoration of the local ecosystem through streams, natural riverbanks and watering holes. To work in harmony with the sheep shearing cycle, ba&sh had to turn everything on its head, from logistics to collaboration with supply chain partners. But the effort is worth it when the result is a garment that is as sustainable as it is beautiful.
