END. CURATES: NEW VINTAGE

Setting the scene for autumn, the latest END. Curates womenswear editorial offers a fresh perspective on contemporary style, blending a playful sensibility with a curated mix of key seasonal trends. It’s a celebration of individuality, layering, and the art of dressing with personality.

From essential outerwear, think canvas workwear jackets and supple leather bombers, to tactile knitwear and Mary Jane sneaker hybrids, the collection plays with texture and silhouette. Patterned and printed denim, relaxed shirting, and new season accessories that balance charm with practicality round out the edit.

Capturing a ‘New Vintage’ aesthetic, this curation fuses streetwear influences with both functional and ultra-feminine pieces. It’s a new way to wear your everyday favourites — distinctive, expressive, and entirely your own.

This look taps into streetwear and functional fashion with a nostalgic edge, while leaning into comfort. The plush Gramicci Hoodie and beanie set the tone with easy comfort, pairing effortlessly with Acne Studios’ jeans and signature printed denim. The Stockholm-based fashion house’s mastery of experimental denim returns this season with the loose-fit 1981 jeans, reimagined with a trompe-l’œil twist. Featuring playful prints of keychains, pearls, and lace, the design blurs the line between fashion and art with an optical illusion. Just above the waistband, ICECREAM — new to END. — makes an appearance, adding a fresh pop to the mix. Finishing things off is the Acne Studios bucket bag, crafted in soft suede that promises to develop a rich patina over time. With antique hardware and denim-inspired rivets, it’s a piece that speaks to storytelling through wear, vintage-tinged, yet undeniably modern.

As the seasons shift, workwear-inspired outerwear continues its reign, with barn jackets and utilitarian silhouettes remaining firmly in the fashion spotlight. Contemporary womenswear labels are reimagining heritage styles with modern finesse — DUNST’s iteration of the canvas work jacket introduces a refined contrast leather collar and understated embroidered branding, elevating it to capsule-worthy status. This rugged layer finds unexpected harmony when paired with softer, more playful elements: the voluminous Nike bubble skirt, candy-pink stripes, and Rixo’s leopard jumper. The result? A juxtaposition of toughness and femininity, punctuated by knee-high socks and the Nike AIR RIFT LTR sneaker — a nod to fashion’s ongoing interplay with function.

This season’s edit champions the art of dressing without boundaries, where genre-blending and vintage undertones take centre stage. While Y2K references continue to linger, the focus shifts toward thoughtful juxtapositions. Traditional tartan checks are reimagined through a modern lens in Our Legacy’s Rebel skirt, an A-line style crafted from Japanese fabric. It’s paired unexpectedly with Marine Serre’s moon-printed top, adorned with celestial motifs, perfect for print clashing and layering over a t-shirt. The look is anchored by leather accessories and HOKA footwear, offering a grounded contrast to the whimsical styling. It’s a celebration of individuality—where the unexpected becomes the most compelling, and personal style is defined by the art of mixing textures, prints and silhouettes.

This season, the leather jacket reclaims its place as a wardrobe cornerstone, with bomber silhouettes leading the charge. Ideal for transitional weather, the bomber’s enduring appeal lies in its versatility and timeless edge. Anine Bing’s iteration, with ribbed hems that sculpt the silhouette, layers effortlessly over hoodies and anchors autumn’s denim revival, where patterned, baggy styles take centre stage. Even utility-driven labels like Gramicci are embracing expressive denim, reworking their iconic Gramicci OG pants in a two-tone plaid while retaining the signature integrated belt. Statement denim continues to evolve, shifting from leopard prints to refined checks and pinstripes — each piece a canvas for personal style.

Footwear plays a key role in grounding these looks with a feminine twist. Whether it’s the soft pop of pink from New Balance 993 sneakers or the Cecile Bahnsen Bess mary-jane pump, where sneaker practicality meets couture-level floral detailing, the finishing touches bring balance and individuality.

Blending the utilitarian spirit of streetwear with the elegance of feminine tailoring, this season’s edit embraces contrast with confidence. Voluminous silhouettes and sneaker-led comfort meet refined details and nostalgic charm. Damson Madder reimagines its signature sweet ties in outerwear form, casting the classic bomber jacket in a playful, romantic light. Soft pink accents thread through the look, from the GANNI stripe shirt to MARGESHERWOOD’s rose-hued, vintage-inspired leather baguette bag, each piece adding a delicate touch to the grounded ease of streetwear.

Monochrome dressing takes a sophisticated turn this season, with elongated silhouettes and tonal layering creating a quietly powerful aesthetic. The Carhartt WIP Webster coat offers an alternative to the classic workwear jacket, in midweight cotton canvas with a corduroy collar, it’s designed for cooler temperatures while retaining utilitarian charm. Paired with Our Legacy’s minimalist mini dress and the adidas x Brain Dead Japan Hi sneakers, the look draws from a rich tapestry of influences. Finished with all-black accessories, this look speaks to a modern uniform, where function meets form, and every detail is deliberate.

Continuing the notion of ultra-feminine details meeting casual comfort, this look blends voluminous silhouettes with grounded elements like sneakers and warming technical fleece layers. The result is a versatile mix of softness and practicality, where midi-length skirts and sporty caps create unexpected pairings. Gramicci’s fleece complements Damson Madder’s whimsical charm and graphic t-shirt styled with retro-infused bowling bags. It’s a celebration of contrast — pairing utilitarian, outdoor-inspired pieces with styles that feel light, romantic, and expressive.

Continuing our exploration of experimental, expressive denim, The Lord of Darkness delivers with this Rick Owens DRKSHDW piece — featuring a bleached-effect wash, signature elongated proportions, and raw, frayed hems for an undone finish. We've styled it with standout autumn accessories: GANNI tights, a New Era beret and the latest twist on a classic, the UGG Bea Mary Jane. Same iconic plush sheepskin lining, but now updated with a chunky strap detail.

The final look of the END. Curates womenswear edit is defined by thoughtful accessories that bridge streetwear ease with nostalgia. Needles’ velour track pants — an elevated take on the brand’s iconic silhouette — are paired with a layered GANNI wool vest, creating a look that feels both vintage-inspired and street-savvy. Shrunken knitwear, stacked delicate chain necklaces, softly tinted sunglasses, and luxury leather accessories like the Acne Studios Camero leather bag bring cohesion to the look. It’s a celebration of contrasts, where playful retro meets modern edge.
