New Balance’s Allerdales — the brand’s new hiking shoes — are way too chic to hike in. Sure, they were comfortable, but they also remind me of a loafer I would wear out. In any case, hike I did! New Balance recently took me and a group of other editors, creators, and journalists from all over the world to the English county of Cumbria, home to a special little town on the coast of the Irish Sea called Flimby, where the brand’s U.K. factory operates.

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Christina Fragkou During Fashion Week, street-style looks are often more interesting than what you’ll see on the runway.

My 25 favorite street-style looks from this season so far are below in no particular order.

Photo: Nan Goldin/Gucci Sabato De Sarno, Gucci’s creative director, frequently references the past: “I love the past,” De Sarno said recently to the Cut’s Cathy Horyn in his studio in Milan. So it made sense that when he debuted a new bag today, the Blondie, it pays homage to the Gucci of the ’70s.
