Vanissa Antonious Shares Everything She’s Loving Right Now
1. The Must-Have Item
The Row corduroy trousers are at the top of my wish list. They feel like the ultimate quiet-luxury pieces – relaxed yet incredibly precise. I love how they sit between ease and structure, which mirrors how I like to dress day to day. They’re the kind of piece that anchor a wardrobe and work across seasons.
2. The Outwear Piece
This Phoebe Philo coat feels timeless and architectural, something I would keep and return to for years rather than a single season. I’m drawn to its mohair texture – it adds softness and warmth while still maintaining structure and presence.
3. The Knitwear
I love the softness and subtle colour of the Phoebe Philo zip polo, but I’m equally drawn to the Loewe knit for its unexpected construction. It really depends on my mood – some days I want something calm and understated, other days something with a bit more playfulness and edge.
4. The Hero Dress
The Albus Lumen dress is understated but powerful, and I love that it doesn’t feel tied to a specific moment, season or trend.
5. The Everyday Piece
A white tee from Flore Flore. It sounds simple, but the right everyday base layer makes such a difference. When the fit and fabric are right, everything else you wear feels more considered.
6. The Bag
I’m loving the NEOUS Phoenix baguette. It’s compact yet practical. It’s refined without feeling precious, which is important to me in an everyday bag.
7. The Colour
I’m really loving red at the moment, introduced slowly through accessories. The Antares sandals are a great example – bold enough to make a statement, but still sophisticated and wearable.
8. The Boots
I’m wearing the NEOUS Buna boots, in brown suede, on repeat. They feel grounded, timeless and versatile. I love the subtle elevation, which works perfectly with wider leg trousers.
9. The Evening Shoe
I’m also loving the NEOUS Motha satin sandals in deep chocolate feel elegant without being overly formal, which is exactly how I like to approach eveningwear.
10. The Denim
Khaite jeans are also high on my wish list. Their fits strike the perfect balance between structure and ease, always feeling considered rather than trend-driven. The silhouettes simply work.
11. The Flat
Velvet ballet flats are still missing from my wardrobe, and the NEOUS Beid pair feels like the ideal introduction. Styled with tailoring in the evening, they strike that balance between understated elegance and a quiet sense of drama.
12. The Sunglasses
It’s got to be The Saint Laurent Jerry sunglasses. They feel classic but still strong, and I love the thinner frames, which make them feel more understated.
13. The Designer
Predictable, but Phoebe Philo. Her work feels like an investment in design, thought and longevity – pieces that remain relevant long after their season.
14. The Trend Piece
The Saint Laurent cotton jersey sweatshirts tap into a sense of eighties nostalgia that I’m naturally drawn to. They feel familiar yet modern.
15. The Jewellery
I’ve been dreaming about The Les Goudes earrings from Deve. The pop of colour feels unexpected but still entirely wearable. In terms of fine jewellery, the tuxedo ring from Ilaria Icardi has been on my mind. I’m always drawn to jewellery that can be worn daily, rather than saved for special occasions.
16. The Beauty Object
The Sophie Buhai shell compact mirror is one of those objects I’m patiently waiting to buy. I love pieces that feel tactile and calming, adding a sense of ritual to everyday moments.
17. The Skincare Buy
The Reome firming eye treatment is next on my list. I already rely on several of its products, and they bring a real sense of balance and strength to the skin.
18. The Wellness Escape
Aro Hā in New Zealand feels like the ultimate physical and mental reset. The landscape alone encourages stillness, reflection and a complete shift in pace.
19. The Art Piece
A Joseph Beuys piece from Monument Gallery has been on my radar for years. I’ve admired his work for a long time and am still searching for the right piece.
20. The Vintage Find
A Cartier Tank Louis remains a long-term wish. Understated, beautifully proportioned and eternally cool.
21. The Next Purchase
The Sophie Buhai Four Eyes votive. Small, atmospheric and quietly transformative – the kind of object that subtly shifts the feeling of a space.
22. The Neighbourhood
North London feels most like home to me. It’s creative but grounded, with space to think and breathe. I love the independent stores, the generosity of green space and the quieter rhythm of daily life – that sense of balance feels increasingly important.
23. The First Stop
Home. There’s nothing better than returning to your own rhythm and space, and taking a moment to reset before everything else begins.
24. The Hotel
The Twenty Two feels intimate and discreet, with beautifully considered interiors and a sense of calm that’s rare in the city.
25. The Coffee Spot
Jolene is always reliable. There are a few locations across London now, and it consistently delivers great coffee and pastries that feel indulgent without excess.
26. The Long Lunch
Rochelle Canteen is understated and thoughtful, with food that feels generous and unpretentious. It’s the kind of place made for long, leisurely dinners with great company.
27. The Dinner Reservation
Planque is where I book when I want something special. The food is always delicious and never predictable, and the atmosphere enhances the experience without distracting from it.
28. The Drinks Spot
Bar Termini is small, precise and perfectly executed. It’s all about detail, restraint and consistency.
29. The Shopping Area
Calm, curated and walkable, Marylebone is my go-to for shopping. It never feels overwhelming, which makes the experience genuinely enjoyable.
30. The Department Store
Liberty London is a must-visit every time. Even when I don’t buy anything, it’s endlessly inspiring and strikes the perfect balance between heritage and discovery.
31. The Culture Fix
Barbican, Tate Modern and smaller independent galleries in Mayfair are where I tend to spend time, wandering between spaces and discovering new artists along the way.
32. The Hidden Gem
Hampstead Heath Pergola and Hill Garden feels almost cinematic. It’s removed from the city – a place where time slows and conversations deepen.
33. The Indulgence
AIRE Ancient Baths London is where I go when I want to fully switch off. You lose all sense of time, and the experience feels deeply restorative.
