Autumn in Palmer Alley at CityCenterDC.
Despite a year of uncertainty, one constant will remain this month and throughout the holidays: CityCenterDC will be decked out, with Palmer Alley and The Plaza set to dazzle visitors. Another constant: beautiful buys from the likes of Bvlgari, Brunello Cucinelli and Salvatore Ferragamo, among others. Here are our favorite boutiques and gifts of the season. 10th & H Street NW, citycenterdc.com
1. Gucci
Originally designed in 1961, the Jackie 1961 bag is emblematic of the brand’s trendsetting era—and is now available in this year’s fall-winter collection in three sizes. For lovers of the brand, the handbag is popular for its curved half-moon shape and gold hardware. gucci.com
2. Salvatore Ferragamo
American psychologist Carl Jung’s essay on female archetypes is the inspiration behind Creative Director Paul Andrew’s autumn-winter collection. Exploring contemporary female identity, the collection offers softer expressions in pieces like high-waisted trousers and butter-soft leather capes. ferragamo.com
3. Hermès
When the industry’s finest watched models strut down the runway, a palette of primary colors was an obvious trend. Edgier cuts and styles were also emphasized in quilted leather overall dresses and asymmetrical collared jackets. hermes.com
4. Louis Vuitton
Beyond the iconic monogrammed bags and accessories, fashionistas can look forward to flared tulle skirts paired with tighter-fitting pieces and pinstriped trousers with colorful bomber jackets. us.louisvuitton.com
5. Burberry
Shop the autumn-winter 2020 collection, where a slogan-print satin plissé polo shirt is sure to be a staple hit. Finish the look with the brand’s nylon and glossy patent leather Arthur sneakers and the Grain de Poudre wool trousers. us.burberry.com
6. Tiffany & Co.
When Tiffany unveiled its T1 collection in May, it immediately became popular among A-list celebs like actress Charlize Theron. Designed by Chief Artistic Officer Reed Krakoff, the line reinvents the original Tiffany T collection with sleek, narrow diamond hinge bangles and rings with clean lines and honeycomb-patterned, handset diamonds. tiffany.com
7. Brunello Cucinelli
Baggy trousers, waistcoats and embellished bomber jackets are at the center of new arrivals for women, while cashmere sweaters, jacket-style cardigans and deconstructed blazers epitomize the men’s Brunello wardrobe. brunellocucinelli.com
8. Bvlgari
Feel like royalty at this high-end jeweler with its newest Barocko High Jewelry collection. Inspired by the Baroque period, a necklace with pearls nestled among amethysts and rubellites brings gorgeous pink hues to any gown. The line also features an array of stunning pieces with diamonds, pink sapphires, Paraiba tourmalines and other precious stones. bulgari.com
9. Moncler
The 1 Moncler JW Anderson collection launched last month—and it’s certainly one for the books, thanks to playful puffer jackets in yellow and tan hues, patterned vests, spiked scarves and Looney Tunes-esque sweaters. moncler.com
