We know you have your fall wardrobe on the brain—despite how hot it is right now. Perhaps fashion’s salient season has its roots in back-to-school and the new threads we showed up in! This issue is full of the best looks of the entire season. Our cover features Tom and Linda Platt’s top that leads a polished wardrobe including a split-sleeve top, skirt, and pants. Tracy Reese’s new dress gives the look of a two-piece without the fuss. Gorgeous styles from Bellville Sassoon and Badgley Mischka are form-fitting, hot-hued designs with splendid details. You’ll fall for Anne Klein’s new jacket and pants, try them in a faux leather or denim. Marcy Tilton, Sandra Betzina, and Kathryn Brenne have six patterns that play up their creative versatility. Men we hear you and deliver with a great trio of shirts in slim, tailored, and standard fits, all in one pattern. Little darlings, also bitten by the fashion bug, in cool coats for back-to-school, decidedly where the love affair with fashion began.
