Future classics: Inside Luxury's October issue fashion shoot

Putting the spotlight on the next wave of collectors’ pieces in jewellery, accessories and fragrance

In this month's Luxury shoot, we sought to future-proof wardrobes with timeless pieces that will age gracefully in a palette that will never date.

Neutral tones such as tan and black will fit with any mood, while pops of colour will serve for years. Invest in daytime jewellery in precious yellow and rose gold, and the eternal glitter of diamonds.

We decided to showcase these timeless classics against a backdrop of simple essential items mirroring the understated value of these showpiece products.

The shoot was the brainchild of Luxury's deputy editor and fashion director, Sarah Maisey, who enlisted the photography skills of Vaughan Treyvellan at MMG.

Highlights include a Louis Vuitton black cushioned GO-14 bag complete with silver metalwork spelling out the brand's initials, paired with a selection of Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets in yellow and rose gold with diamonds.

Another shot features a brown leather Hermes Maxi Kelly bag paired with Tom Ford sunglasses, a Fendi watch and a Begum Khan bracelet.

Take inspiration from these timeless classics for a long-lasting wardrobe.

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
