The Frankie Shop has become one of the most illustrious fashion brands of the decade. They amassed a cult following as a result of their luxe-casual loungewear at entry-level designer price points. Since its inception, Frankie Shop has released bitesize capsules adored by everyone from Paris to New York and beyond.
Former journalist Gaëlle Drevet founded Frankie Shop with a minimalist aesthetic at the forefront in 2014. With a specialism in tailoring, separates and core basics, each garment is designed with the minimalist sartorialist in mind. So far, the collections have been concise elevated edits, based on a paired-back androgynous aesthetic.
Every season, they debut a collection with a stand-out piece destined for the hall of fame. So far, their hero pieces consist of the renowned tailored trouser, with subtle upgrades each season. The same goes for their boxy blazers and the highly sought-after oversized quilted-shell jacket – a piece trending a year after its initial release.
This season’s Gelso collection is my favourite to date. It comprises tencel, rayon and wool, which are mindfully curated and suitable for the summer forecast. The mid-weight, free-flowing suits can be worn uniform or separately. Like most Frankie Shop pieces, the overarching theme of simplicity has inspired the unostentatious offerings. There’s a strong ‘80s influence entwined with the modern city girl aesthetic that’s become a distinguishable feature of the brand.
The prominence of colour in the SS22 forecast didn’t escape Frankie Shop’s grasp, as the current collection paved way for candied hues, in amongst the dulcet and ashy tones the brand is best known for.
