4 new luxury collections to watch out for this fall, from Prada, Fendi, Hermès and JW Anderson

Some of fashion’s most iconic brands are unveiling exciting new launches to watch this autumn, from a unique collection of lifestyle pieces by Jonathan Anderson’s JW Anderson, to the practical yet elegant Explore handbag by Prada. Fendi honours its heritage with the playful BFF Charms, celebrating its 100th anniversary. Meanwhile, Hermès adds vibrant high-heeled sandals, along with cosy flats and boots adorned with diamantes to its autumn line-up.

Designer Jonathan Anderson, who recently joined Dior as creative director, is revamping his own label, JW Anderson. An avid collector and lover of art, he enlisted some of his closest friends – from director Luca Guadagnino to actor Joe Alwyn – to showcase the range, which also features lifestyle items such as lamps, chairs and ceramics.

If you’re looking for a practical and timeless bag this season, Prada has you covered. As its name suggests, the Prada Explore is a utilitarian take on the handbag – the Milan-based brand once again striking the ideal balance between form and function. Versatile and a joy to carry, the bag is suited to both urban settings and the great outdoors. With roomy side pockets and useful compartments, the Explore comes in the brand’s signature Re-nylon, as well as suede and nappa leather.
