The Armani Fall/Winter 2020 Collection is a plethora of luxurious winterwear from cashmere to velvets, in earthy colors and the myriad shades of sunsets. The collection comprises of mostly black pieces of clothing, some porting wool pinstripe patterns and a few nylon pieces here and there.

Maison Alaïa
Maison Alaïa's Pre-fall 2020 collection boasts a cohesive floral theme, although the patterns vary in guises. Expressionistic flower prints, an ode the 1990s in gravelly projections, and delicate, flowy chiffon dresses in desert hues, that change colors depending on the viewing angle comprise the clothing. Some dresses sport an indicate palette of perforated embroideries that further bouquet floral and graphic transparencies on dresses and accessories. Featured above is the pleated silk chiffon dress with an open back and a plunging elegant-looking neckline. Dyed in an ombré effect rainbow dégradém with an exquisite empire waist, it enhances the layered volume of the flared skirt.
Donna Karan New York
Speaking of clothing that would never go out of style, an honorary mention should be the classic leather jackets. They have been around for over a century and have also stood as an emblem for all things "cool". The leather jacket is more of an investment than a one-time buy because let's face it, donning the outerwear is never considered "so last season". It has been endorsed by some of the coolest people and has also had its groundbreaking pop culture moments. So it is worth considering adding this ephemeral trend to your closet staples. You can easily pull out a leather jacket and make a fashion statement without trying too hard. As part of its sleek summer style, DKNY is reinventing the classic leather jacket into a sleeves optional vest. Featured above is the Faux leather moto vest that can ramp up your OOTD, with the attitude to serve. The streamlined silhouette combines with its rocker sensibility is a perfect eye-catching ensemble to achieve that effortless baddie vibe.
Tom Ford
Marilyn Monroe, the stunning, iconic actress whose fashion has been admired by many once said, "Give a woman the right shoes, and she will conquer the world." They may pretty much be at the foresight of fashion designer Tom Ford, whose eponymous label makes some of the most stylish shoes for women. Monroe also said, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." While diamonds are often way too far off in our price range to be covetable, shoes aren't. When it comes to high-heels, however, we have a special place in our hearts, and the right pair of heels can boost one's confidence and transform any look. Featured above is the lacquered patent padlock pump, a pair of heels that can be easily deemed the top favorite in celebrity circles. Everyone from Beyonce to Jennifer Lopez has been rocking various styles of this timeless shoe. Cut in a smooth, sleek and slender style with a glossy finish, the shoes come with a pointed toe and a 10.5cm heel. It also sports an ankle strap with the padlock that sets the style apart.
Fenty Skin

Twelve-step skincare? Count us in. Fenty Skin is complementary to Riri's massive make-up empire, Fenty Beauty, one of the first inclusive brands in the beauty industry. The singer-actor has always shared her love for and the importance of good skincare, and her self-owned beauty brand just goes to show how passionate she about helping others achieve their beauty goals. A cleanser is the most important part of any skin routine, and deep cleaning cleanser is even better to assure that your skin is clean of any dirt and impurities that cause problems.
