This edition of Savoir stars Anna Cleveland, the inimitable fashion persona known for her flamboyant yet free-spirited nature. Cleveland embodies the collection’s essence, making the opulent couture-like pieces look and feel fantastical yet grounded while sharing insights from a life working and walking in beauty.

Paying homage to the exuberance and splendour of 1950s couture, the collection infuses couture-like silhouettes with a modern attitude. Lustrous metallic brocades, organic mulberry silk, and RWS-certified wool adorn sculptural dresses, a two-piece set, a menswear-inspired suit, a bomber jacket, and an opera coat. The colours, textures, ornamentation, and patterns harmonise beautifully, presenting nocturnal and glamorous future vintage ensembles. Pearls and crystals embellish shoes and accessories like constellations in the night sky, adding sparkling details to the sartorial symphony. Each piece is an overture to the joy of dressing up, accessorising, and self-expression, injecting something new and unexpected into the fashion dialogue.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EARLIEST FASHION MEMORY.
I was walking my first runway show with my mother [Pat Cleveland] when I was about five. I remember wearing a T-shirt and looking up at all the girls and thinking, one day I’ll wear those beautiful clothes. At the end of the show, the designer came to me and gave me a stuffed frog. He said if you kiss the frog, your wish will come true, and you will dress up beautifully and meet your Prince Charming! Well, it all happened!

WHAT DOES FASHION MEAN TO YOU? YOU’VE MENTIONED THAT FASHION IS YOUR FAMILY.
My dad [Paul van Ravenstein] was a photographer working in New York in the ‘70s. His sister, my aunt Apollonia, was a model; my mom and aunt were best friends and worked together. But what I really mean is that I am one with everyone who is creative and seeks to uplift the world through beauty, making life more beautiful. We resonate on a frequency of pure passion and love—a true community of friendship and camaraderie.

IN WHAT WAY DOES FASHION EMPOWER YOU?
Fashion empowers me by affirming that I can be anyone I dream to be.

WHAT DO YOU DREAM OF CREATING?
I love fashion and film; I feel it’s the new form of editorial expression. I would love to explore that more. We can always expand in new ways. Like the Whitney Houston song says, “I am every woman. It’s all in me.”

DESCRIBE THE SAVOIR COLLECTION IN JUST THREE WORDS.
Chic, chic, chic!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE PIECES FROM THE COLLECTION, AND WHERE WOULD YOU WEAR THEM?
The golden two-piece matching set that I wore for the campaign. I love wearing a two-piece matching set when dressing for special occasions. I find it so chic.

SHARE A PRECIOUS PIECE OF STYLE ADVICE THAT YOU LIVE BY.
Always choose timeless pieces you can see yourself wearing down the line (not just for one occasion).
