Welcome to the Hot List! A monthly column from fashion sourcer extraordinaire Gab Waller. As a professional personal shopper to some of the best-dressed girls—she gets about 100 requests a day to track down hard-to-find wares!—Waller spends her days sourcing the most in-demand fashion and accessories. Each month, and exclusively for Vogue, she’ll deliver a cheat sheet of all the pieces she recommends you scoop up before it’s too late and the most dreaded three words in online shopping (“out of stock”) appear. “This is a world in which I live and breathe,” Waller says. “I get to be a ‘fashion detective’ day in and day out, and I have eyes and ears all over the globe.” Let the fashion snooping begin!
I’m putting the finishing touches on this month's column from one of my favorite LA matcha spots, La La Land. As I look around, including on myself, I see a whole lot of color. It signals one clear sign: summer is coming, and the real summer fun is about to begin.
April’s Hot List:
This month is filled with many summer pieces (color, prints, color, and back to prints again), that I always recommend securing early before they sell out when the full season hits. I’ve also included a couple of layering pieces, since while it may be very warm here in LA, that is not the case everywhere. There’s also new shoe style from Phoebe Philo that has started to pop off, a handful of Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza pieces to note (always bestsellers), and one men’s Celine style that my female clients are strongly gravitating towards.
Let’s dive right in.
Burberry x Hunza G Bikini
A collab worthy of kicking off this month’s Hot List: Hunza G is no stranger to making an appearance in my list, so I was ecstatic to see that they have teamed up on a very strong swim collab with Burberry. My favorite part of all is that their pieces are one size. I’m ready to debut these in Europe this summer!
Acne Studios Twill Jacket
A proving popular style from Acne Studios right now. It has been some time since I have featured an Acne Studios piece in my Hot List, so I am very excited that this cropped trench coat has made it in. It’s not hard to see why it’s in demand: the fit is incredibly versatile, moves easily in-between seasons, and comes at a really reasonable price point.
Loewe Top
The cutest, most fun summer look from Loewe that also comes with a matching skirt! (If you’re not already sensing a theme, it’s all about fun and color!) Summer truly can’t come quick enough.
Chloé Lingerie Mini Dress
I’m ready for the Chloé summer to begin! There are so many amazing pieces to mention, but I will admit I audibly gasped when I saw this dress. The color is worth mentioning, but the overall style and fit makes this the dress you want to slip on throughout these warmer months ahead.
Saint Laurent Slingback Pumps
Saint Laurent’s newest shoe style has caused quite the frenzy in my DMs. Set to be a very popular style for the months ahead, it plays on Saint Laurent’s now iconic extended toe in a beautiful dark grey hue. Best of all, it was also produced in two other colors: cuba gold and pecan brown.
Miu Miu Plume Leather Sneakers
There’s a new Miu Miu leather sneaker style that has entered the chat. I love this deep brown, officially referred to as ‘Caffe’ and there is one lucky last size ready to be scooped up now.
Celine Polo Shirt
Coming through as one of my most requested and bestselling Celine ready to wear pieces this month is this color-blocked polo shirt, most infamously spotted on Jacob Elordi. It is men’s, so I would recommend sizing down one full size for women.
The Attico Cutout Swimsuit
One thing The Attico knows to do very well is give us exactly what we want to be wearing all summer season long. I’m anticipating this will be a sold out style, with it already showing low stock across all sizes.
Phoebe Philo Buckle Sandals
Introducing the latest Phoebe Philo shoe style that has taken my DMs by storm. The first request came in for them last week, followed by another a day later. We found them, posted them, and like magic, they completely popped off. Phoebe Philo does it again!
The Attico Romper
When I thought it couldn’t get any better, they drop a romper style in the exact same print. With animal prints of all kinds continuing to trend heavily, this is an enticing style to jump on now.
Miu Miu Leather Sandals
A Miu Miu shoe style that has been selling very well over the past couple of weeks, and from clients that have purchased them, I’m told they are very comfortable—a double win! The mix of suede and leather, slingback buckle strap, and round toe is a recipe for a very, very good summer shoe.
Pucci Jersey Romper
Sound the alarms, Pucci summer is about to begin! Introducing their newest print, in a romper style that is as flattering as it is chic. Run to grab your size, it won’t be around for long.
Miu Miu Raffia Handbag
Miu Miu is consistently one of my top requested and bestselling brands in the summer, without fail, year after year. It is handbag styles, such as this new embroidered crochet style, that make that happen. I can vouch that these will sell out.
The Row Leather Sandals
To match almost too perfectly with your new Miu Miu tote (above) are these white leather sandals from The Row. They are currently on my one-to-watch radar: sizes are selling fast, and as it goes with all things The Row, sold out is the norm.
Aquazzura Leather-Trimmed Sandals
A very fun Aquazzura style that is sure to be a hit this summer season. I’m envisioning the endless fun and colorful looks that these heels can be styled with. It’s the summer of color, we’re bound to see a lot of it!
Loewe Fussbett Sandals
It wouldn’t be a Hot List without Loewe, and I have my eyes set on these new leather (colorful!) sandals as a popular style for the season ahead. Their Paula’s Ibiza collections are a hit every single year, and I expect to these shoes to go fast. I’d recommend jumping on your size now.
Alaïa Midi Dress
I received my first sourcing request for this style this week, and I definitely expect more requests to come. Pink is certainly not going anywhere any time soon, and with it already showing ‘sold out’ across various sizes, it’s one to jump on now.
Miu Miu Top-Handle Bag
Introducing what may be considered the cutest bag to date that Miu Miu has produced. Crafted from mesh, it is finished with embroidered florals and features smooth leather trims. This is one that I personally couldn’t resist adding to my own cart.
Magda Butrym Bustier Dress
The ‘ultimate little black dress’ award has to go to Magda Butrym for this one. The perfect mini length, the fitted bodice, and the halterneck neckline—tick, tick, tick. I anticipate this style selling out.
Loewe Raffia Hat
One final Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza piece had to make onto this month’s list, as it truly is too good. If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect, wide brim raffia sun hat style for the summer season ahead, this one right here is your answer.

Loewe Amazona Large Bag
Loewe’s highly anticipated Amazona bag is here. Taking the lead as the most popular option (so far) is the large size in blue (called Royal Azur). One of the best features of this bag is that it has three carry options: short handle, removable shoulder strap, and crossbody.
Miu Miu Leather Sandals
Jumping in early to place these on my “one to watch” radar, this is a runway style that I’m thrilled to see has gone into production. The metal details offer a fun twist on a classic leather strap heel.
Valentino Suede Pumps
The Valentino heel that has well and truly popped off over the past month. First spotted on Hailey Bieber and as it goes, once she is spotted wearing a key item, an immediate explosion of demand always follows. From there, demand skyrocketed when a reel posted by Elle Ferguson amassed over 15M views (and counting!). Many screenshots from that reel were sent to me, with clients very eager to get their hands on their size.
Miu Miu Midi Dress
A new ready-to-wear style from Miu Miu that is sure to be a bestseller. The perfect slip featuring a front embroidered logo patch, front slit, and a lace bust. An important note—it’s semi-sheer.
Toteme Satin Shirt
The Chanel shirts are by far one of the most requested ready-to-wear styles from the new collection. To get the look, look no further than this beautiful new season Toteme style. Crafted from satin, this style is a slightly oversized fit. Low sizes are already showing!
Chloé Floral Swim Skort
Chloé does it again with the sweetest floral bikini set I have seen in some time. I did not know I needed a swim skort until now, and going by the “low sizes,” I’m not alone. Linking the bottoms here, and I’ll include the matching bodysuit below (as it isn’t complete without being a full look!).
Chloé Bodysuit
The matching bodysuit linked for you. Having tried and purchased this myself, I would recommend going your true size in this style. Summer can’t come quick enough!
Phoebe Philo Club Slipper
A “proving popular” style from Phoebe Philo at present. Introducing the club slipper, I have sourced several sizes over the past few weeks and I expect requests to continue. These are the perfect everyday shoe style, and if you are a lucky size 36, run now to secure yours!
Chloé Jelly Mules
The cutest jelly shoes I may have ever seen. If you are wishing to add a little more whimsy into your life (as I am!), these are the shoes for you. They couldn’t be more perfect for summer, and I’m expecting to see a lot of this style worn throughout Europe in the warmer months ahead. Now is the time to jump on your size, they won’t be around for much longer.
Saint Laurent Woven Wood Shoulder Bag
Say hello to Saint Laurent’s newest shoulder bag that is getting scooped up very quickly. The brand’s wooden beaded bags were a favorite last summer, and I’m expecting that to continue with this style. If it is a ‘love at first sight’ moment, I would strongly recommend securing one now.
Celine Biki Sandal
An all new summer sandal from Celine has landed, and I’m anticipating we will be seeing a lot of them in these months ahead. Produced in black, red, and white, now is the time to jump on these before they spike in demand.
Chloé Estra Braided Leather Slingback
Another style from Chloé making its way into this month’s Hot List, the braided leather slingback is as chic as it is comfortable. Currently on my ‘one to watch’ radar—I give it a week max before it moves into my ‘proving popular’ list.
Gucci Horsebit Embellished Swimsuit
A swimsuit by Gucci that has ‘sold out’ written all over it. The color, the ‘90s cut, and the classic horsebit detailing is the perfect combination for a must-have piece. Already showing sold out in a couple of sizes, this is not one to hesitate on.
Miu Miu Thong Sandals
Another sandal that I am expecting to see consistently in months ahead. Miu Miu has dropped the easiest to wear (and pack!) thong sandal for the summer season. I love that they’ve been produced in fun colors (yellow and red), in addition to neutrals like white and dark brown.
Julietta Mavis Necklace
A new brand discovery that I am very excited about. They have so many incredible pieces, I’m drooling as I scroll through the options. To keep it aligned with this month’s column, there was one particular necklace from Chanel that this style made me think of. There was a certain planet necklace that was highly requested in my DMs, this Mavis necklace is a very similar colorway. I expect we’re going to be hearing a lot more about this brand this year.
Chloé High Rise Slim Jeans
An immediate need. The fit, the color, the subtle PVC patch. It’s all too good and is an easy add-to-cart moment. Best of all, they also come in the most luscious turquoise color.
Loewe Anagram Embroidered Cotton Shirt
It’s all about the subtle embroidery right now. I love Loewe’s take on this, with their classic shirt featuring their signature Anagram embroidery. Every bit timeless, and a true cost-per-wear-guaranteed piece.
Pucci Printed Halterneck Midi Dress
Pucci’s summer collections are starting to roll in. We teased this new print on our stories a few weeks back, and this halterneck midi dress was a consistent favorite.
SRG Silk Midi Dress
SRG’s newest collection has dropped, and the multiple soft pink color options that are available prove that this color is very much here to stay. My pick from the season is the newest silk midi dress in blush and white. I’ll personally be styling mine with a classic thong sandal for spring and summer.

Dior Bow Heeled Sandals
An immediate favorite that was clear from the moment I posted them on our stories. Jonathan Anderson can truly do no wrong, and these shoes are one very clear example of that. Produced in an array of colors and multiple heel heights, I can vouch the pink has been the bestseller.
Dior Médaillon Belt
A statement belt has quickly become a key 2026 accessory. We saw it first with Celine (which continues to be a bestseller), now again with Dior’s newest statement belt. Karla Welch was one of the first to post wearing it, and that memorable photo came in hot into the DMs.
Fendi Arco Sandals
I’ve found that the first and last collection of a creative director have the most “future collectible” potential—these heeled sandals are from Silvia’s last collection for Fendi. They were an instant hit on the runway, and produced in three different colorways.
Fendi Baguette Bag With Needlepoint Embroidery Kit
A piece that was highly coveted a few years ago is now back, and available for pre-order today. It is always a strong sign when a brand reproduces an old bestseller, I’m thrilled they did it with this very special Baguette needlepoint embroidery kit. Get crafty!
Alaïa Tiger-Print Pumps
I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I’m sad to hear Pieter Mulier is departing from Alaïa, I’m going to miss his collections for the brand dearly. Until then, you can expect quite a few pieces to continue to be featured. With tiger-print trending heavily, these shoes are an immediate yes.
Bottega Veneta Baby Veneta Bag
I’m on the edge of my seat with anticipation for Louise Trotter’s debut collection. Thankfully for us all, one of her first spring/summer 2026 styles has dropped, and it is the Veneta bag in an all new baby size. Produced in five different colorways, this size and style is immediately being placed on my ‘one to watch radar’.
Gucci Strapless Sequined Mini Dress
The new Gucci era has begun, and this dress has every element of a sold-out style. I couldn’t be more excited for all that is to come from Demna. If you spot your size, definitely jump on this one now.
Gucci Vittoria Sandals
Produced in white, black, and red, I can see these being an upcoming summer staple. Easy to style, designed to be worn from day to night. Sizes are already selling quickly.
Celine East West Triomphe Frame Bag
Naturally, you can expect quite a few Celine pieces in this month’s column—Michael Rider’s designs continue to generate very strong interest and demand. The brand’s most requested handbag style as of now is the East West Triomphe Frame, particularly in the Deep Ivory.
Celine Crewneck Sweater
Celine sweaters are known to trend quickly and strongly, with a few key styles each season often leading the way. At present, it is this crewneck sweater in mouline alpaca and wool, which I will say, I’m surprised to see has two very lucky sizes left!
Celine Cage Sandals
Coming in as one of my most requested Celine shoe styles at present: the Cage sandals. The gold is leading the way, but I wanted to link the white for this month’s column. Extremely versatile and designed to be worn easily from day to night, they are the easiest wardrobe addition this season.
Saint Laurent Jacket
I couldn’t let this column go live without a special mention to the most requested and bestselling jacket style of the moment. This is the must-have item of the moment, recently spotted on Rihanna and many style influencers alike.
Balenciaga Cutout Midi Dress
It has been some time since a ready-to-wear Balenciaga piece has made its way into our DMs, but this new cutout style finally made that happen. Already showing sold out in a number of sizes, this is definitely one to scoop up now.
Loro Piana Eva Hat
A proving popular style from Loro Piana, I recently posted this on my personal and business Instagram stories, and the replies came flowing in asking more about it. With leopard print—and pillbox hat shapes—continuing to trend heavily, this couldn’t be a more perfect interpretation of both.
Etro Braided Belt
Another belt style that has been proving popular in the DMs is this braided Etro leather belt. Having sourced and secured one only this week, I spot a lucky size 65cm available now!
Prada Mules
A fun take on a classic mule, this suede and jute mule combo is destined to sell out. Already showing low sizes in stock, I give it less than a week for all sizes to be wiped out.
Miu Miu Mule Pumps
Miu Miu does it again with the perfect mesh mule pump that we are going to be seeing strongly throughout the month ahead (and beyond). Produced in both black and brown, if your size is available now, I wouldn’t hesitate in snapping it up now.
Miu Miu Braided Belt
If your size is unavailable in the Etro belt above, I have the next best option for you that will not be around for long (consider this a pre-warning). Miu Miu’s newest braided leather belt is an excellent everyday styling tool. One of my favorite ‘cost-per-wear’ investment pieces!
Saint Laurent Scalloped Shorts
The Saint Laurent shorts that are very similar to the pair worn by Charli xcx at the runway show. They certainly won’t be around for long. I personally loved how she styled hers with the windbreaker for the runway show (see last month’s column). This is a guaranteed sold-out style.
Carelli Bambi Jacket
I couldn’t possibly submit this month’s column without a notable mention to the coat that has truly taken social media by storm. Spotted on a multitude of style influencers, most recently Paige Lorenze, to say this coat has popped off is an understatement. Crafted from ultra-soft faux fur, it’s available now for pre-order.

We may be past the Happy New Year wishes, but I couldn’t begin this month’s column without wishing you all a very happy and warm welcome to 2026! I’m so excited for this year’s fashion, noting with my team that we have a strong year ahead with many incredible collections coming our way. Michael Rider at Celine and Jonathan Anderson at Dior are two that I’m tremendously excited about, and I’m seeing that echoed throughout my DMs—I included a couple of pieces that I’m receiving the most amount of sourcing requests for at present.
In addition to these highly requested pieces, I’ve also included a certain lace shoe style that popped off this past week (and as I write this, is still showing availability), a windbreaker that is quickly becoming a must-have for the resort season, and a textured leather jacket that is the ultimate topper for these remaining cooler months, including the transitional period.
Without further ado, let’s dive into it.
Jimmy Choo Lace Pumps
The Jimmy Choo heel that popped off immediately on social media, including in my very own DMs. “The most perfect heels I have ever seen” is one message that came through, and I truly couldn’t agree more. Best news for all, they were also produced in black.
Polo Ralph Lauren Knit Ottoman Blazer
A Polo Ralph Lauren style that is generating buzz in my requests at present. Undeniably chic and you will be delighted to hear that I have found two lucky sizes on sale. Jump on them now before they are gone for good.
Celine Maison Belt
It’s the year of Michael Rider and Celine, are you all as excited as I am? The sourcing requests have been constant, from their handbags to their footwear, I am seeing them increase by the week. One style reigns above all at present and it is their newest runway belt. An incredible everyday accessory piece.
Saint Laurent Lace Romper
Saint Laurent, lace, and a bodysuit = everything and more! Spotted on various celebrities at the spring/summer 2026 fashion show, including Hailey Bieber (in yellow), this was an immediate hit. I can absolutely vouch that this will sell out and is not one to skip out on.
Saint Laurent Stand-Collar Jacket
Requests have been ramping up for Saint Laurent’s cotton jackets, featured heavily in the spring show. An easy-to-style piece that can be dressed up or down.
Saint Laurent Cassandre Windbreaker
There is one jacket that is dominating in my sourcing requests at present, and it is the Saint Laurent Cassandre cropped windbreaker. Produced in both orange and red, it is not common for two colors to maintain equal demand, but that is what I’m experiencing with this style. An easy layering piece for the month ahead.
Saint Laurent Sao Ballerinas
Saint Laurent has entered the conversation of must-have ballet flat styles. Usually its their heels that are most coveted, but when I see ‘low stock’ and ‘sold out’ across almost all sizes, I know we are onto something. As an extra add-on, I hear they are very comfortable!
Loewe Toggle Sandals
Introducing Loewe’s Toggle style that is (already!) showing sold out across multiple sizes. Produced in a number of colors (including in black) and also in a flat version, I personally love this style. Effortlessly cool, very Loewe!
Small Dior Bow Bag
Would you believe this is the very first Dior piece I have ever featured in my column? The longest time coming, but an extremely exciting moment. I’ve included a couple of pieces that I have received the most amount of requests and sales for, starting with this stunning bow bag. It was a true ‘love at first sight’ moment.
Dior Clover Bag Charm
Another piece that has been generating demand in my DMs is their clover bag charm. The green has taken the lead as the best seller (currently sold out, my DMs are open for that one!), but the pink is equally as coveted. An excellent first piece to add to your Jonathan Anderson for Dior collection.
Dior Or Baby Bow Mules
The baby bow mule, produced in multiple colorways, was an immediate hit when I first posted a round-up of Dior images on our Instagram. The green has been a bestseller, followed very closely by the beige.
Alaïa Metallic Ballet Flats
A style that caught my eye immediately, metallic is always in high demand and if you mix that with Alaïa, you have a guaranteed sold out style. I’m spotting ‘one left’ in a couple of lucky sizes now.
Christopher Esber Reyer Tie Top
Christopher Esber is no stranger in my DMs. When I saw the first sourcing request come through for this set this month, I knew immediately that it was one to watch. I’ll admit, I had to secure it for myself and am counting down for the right moment to bring it out. I’m linking both the top and pants below for the full set.
Christopher Esber Reyer Tailored Pants
The pants to complete this perfect Christopher Esber set.
Chloé Cropped Belted Jacket
It is safe to say Chloé’s newest cropped belted jacket is a dream. First spotted on Bella Hadid in a street style moment, requests immediately started to flow in. At the time, it was available for pre-order only, so I am now beyond thrilled to share that it is available for an immediate add-to-cart moment. I anticipate a sold out style.
Magda Butrym Studded Wedge Mules
Magda Butrym can truly do no wrong in my book. This month, their newest studded leather wedge mules have made the list. Produced in both black and snake print, I do predict that the black will be ever so slightly the more popular choice.
Gucci Embroidered Lace-Trimmed Tank
We are seeing gentle logo embroidery across multiple brands at present, and I can’t get enough of it! Chanel may have kicked off the trend (dreaming of the moment those shirts drop!), but I personally love how other designers are introducing it in their own way. This delicately chic new style by Gucci being one to do it right.
Gucci Rectangular Frame Sunglasses
Multiple requests for this style have been received over the past couple of weeks, I’m thrilled to see that they are now available online and ready to be snapped up right away.
Alaïa D’Orsay Animal-Print Pumps
Animal print is going nowhere anytime soon, and if you have been looking for the right shoe style to introduce it into your wardrobe with, look no further than Alaïa’s newest pump.
Miu Miu Mary Jane Loafers
It wouldn’t be a full Hot List without Miu Miu. This month, their latest leather loafer style has caught my eye and is on my ‘one to watch’ radar. A unique twist on a classic Mary Jane style, and undeniably Miu Miu. Style with or without socks for the ultimate Miu Miu look.
