T

here’s something

about

September that has always felt like the true beginning of the year.

January may come with resolutions, but September comes with reinvention. The air changes, the light shifts, and suddenly getting dressed

feels interesting again. After months of linen, bare shoulders, sandals, and the beautiful simplicity of summer, September invites us back into our closets with a little more intention.

For me, this is when fashion becomes fun again.

September sits in that perfect in-between. It’s not quite time for heavy coats and winter boots, but summer dressing no longer feels completely right. A silk dress suddenly wants a blazer thrown over it. Sandals make room for a beautiful loafer or a pointed-toe pump. Denim returns. Leather returns. And the pieces we’ve almost forgotten

about begin making

their way back into

rotation.

Perhaps that’s why

September has always

carried such

importance in fashion.

It marks the beginning

of the fall season, the

arrival of the

September issues,

Fashion Month, and a

collective shift toward

what comes next. But

beyond the runways, I

think there’s

something more

personal happening.

It’s a chance to edit.
