As fashion month kicks off, Vogue editors are sharing their insider tips, outfit inspiration, and must-have pieces for the new season. Chioma Nnadi, Vogue’s Head of Editorial Content, is no exception, offering a glimpse into her personal style and what excites her for autumn/winter 2024.
Chioma describes her style as cyclical, finding herself drawn back to classic elements she’s always loved, whether it’s bold colors or vintage workwear. But above all, she prioritizes a sense of humor in her outfits.
When it comes to getting dressed, Chioma emphasizes the importance of planning. She learned this valuable lesson from a fashion shaman who advised her to curate outfits beforehand, as having too many options can be overwhelming. This helps her avoid morning rush and ensures she feels confident and put-together.
Chioma’s most prized possession? A vintage Prada purple shearling coat from the autumn 2014 collection. If she could borrow anyone’s wardrobe, she’d choose a blend of Fela Kuti’s bold style and Mrs. Prada’s timeless elegance.
Martine Rose and Wales Bonner are among her current favorites, and she enjoys collecting their pieces for their enduring appeal. Recently, she invested in Molly Goddard knits, praising their quality and versatility, and snagged the Vivienne Westwood X Palace tartan flight jacket for a touch of rebellious cool.
While she admits to being too fickle to commit to a single outfit for life, Chioma reveals her current styling codes for autumn/winter 2024. She’s drawn to collections that elevate everyday items, like the Undercover autumn/winter 2024 show, which brought a touch of the extraordinary to the ordinary.
When it comes to London, Chioma has her go-to spots. Toklas restaurant, near the Vogue offices, is a favorite for its delicious menu. And for vintage fashion enthusiasts, One of a Kind Archive on Portobello Road is a must-visit, offering a treasure trove of unique and special pieces.
Chioma’s new-season wish list is a testament to her eclectic taste and timeless style, blending vintage finds, modern classics, and a touch of rebellious flair. Her insights and recommendations offer a perfect guide for navigating the exciting world of autumn/winter 2024 fashion.
