There's something to be said about second acts. For us mere mortals, it is the precipice of a new beginning. The same can be said for the things we hold dear. In the constellation of fashion, this theory manifests in the encore lives of collected pieces: a coat that lights up your eyes the moment you see it, an item from a designer's history-defining line up, or better yet, an object so novel it reminds you that fashion is never that serious.
Solidifying this sentiment is the sweeping resurgence of the 'closet clear-out', a circular exercise in which fashion insiders open up their wardrobes (and hearts) in the vested interest that their most loved pieces will find a new home. And while platforms such as Vestiaire Collective and eBay have long been the go-to options, this setting is a different one: intimate and knowing, it is a transition of taste, a silent nod that an item you love will elicit an energised spark in someone else.

ALL AFLUTTER
Of the many Chanel symbols and icons, the feather is perhaps the most cherished by connoisseurs in the know. It comes from a lesser known part of Gabrielle Chanel's history. Before venturing into fashion and haute couture, Chanel actually established herself in Paris, in a boutique at 21 rue Cambon, as a milliner. Her first creation that was presented to the press in 1910 was a feathered hat. The latest Plume de Chanel collection of high jewellery pays tribute to the feather in all its lightness and supple movement. Six sets of romantic, evanescent jewels introduce a new, naturalistic silhouette, decorated with diamonds and an array of dazzling pink gemstones such as sapphires, tourmalines and diamonds.
