What do you get when a home-grown fashion institution and up-and-coming photographer join forces? A fresh take on fan-favourite trends, from floral motifs to delicate pastels. After clinching first place in the inaugural run of the Vogue Talent Prize in partnership with Charles & Keith, Singaporean imagemaker Jiajia Tan captures the resplendence of the brand’s spring 2022 collection.
Inspired by the concept of hope and new beginnings, Charles & Keith’s latest line-up boasts a medley of playful bags and footwear that take cues from the noughties. While the bold Joss flatform sandals and bloom-emblazoned top handle bag are made for maximalists, the understated Koa is a choice fit as an everyday bag. Other eye-catching pieces include the Alex tie-around sandals, Coda top handle hobo bag and more. So, how are you making your statement of joy today? Take your pick by shopping the brand’s spring 2022 offerings below.
