The Hot List: 20 Must-Have Pieces, According to Instagram’s Favorite Fashion Sourcer

Reported by Vogue.

There are personal shoppers, and then there is Gab Waller — the fashion sourcer fielding roughly 100 requests a day from some of the best-dressed women on the planet. Each month, she surfaces the pieces generating the most heat before "out of stock" makes the decision for you. According to Vogue, where Waller publishes her monthly edit exclusively, this season's demand is unified by a single throughline: color. Business, she notes, has never been better — and she's channeling that momentum into the first-ever book on fashion sourcing, currently in progress.

The footwear situation alone could justify a separate piece. Alaïa's Jewel Sandals are moving fast, with clients requesting both colorways simultaneously. The Khaite Liria ankle-strap heel in animal print is already hitting low stock across sizes. Maison Margiela's confetti Tabi ballerinas — available in white and PVC — saw requests flood in the moment they dropped, which Waller calls an unprecedented level of immediate demand for the brand. If you want in on the Manolo Blahnik Paterno sandal, the full size run won't last; Waller just ordered her own pair. And the Christopher Esber Palma, a leather thong with a raffia footbed, is her early call for the breakout sandal of the summer — she's predicting a repeat of last year's sold-out Jo jelly moment.

The Bags, the Swim, the Everything Else

Handbag-wise, The Row Idaho — now with longer shoulder straps — spiked in Waller's DMs practically overnight; she bought one herself and calls it the best everyday bag in the lineup. The Row Estelle Two Tote remains the most-requested summer carry, with the smaller size already gone. On the swim front, Saint Laurent's gold-hardware cutout one-piece is, per Waller, a guaranteed sellout — the brand consistently ranks in her top five most requested. The Burberry x Hunza G bikini collab is another standout: one-size, immediately wearable, and the kind of partnership that generates its own momentum.

For ready-to-wear, Miu Miu dominates the conversation — the eyelet lace mini skirt in lightweight linen, a stretch jersey top, an eyelet poplin cami, and a new cowboy hat with a leather hatband all made the cut this month. The Christopher Esber Ripple mini dress in vivid aquatic blue is Waller's pick for a travel piece that earns its bag space. Dôen's Toussine top is her easiest add-to-cart of the season. And the By Magda Butrym floral-appliqué camisole quietly accumulated multiple client requests — the kind of slow burn that ends in a sellout.

Consider this your standing alert: when a fashion detective with global eyes and ears flags something, the window to act is shorter than you think.
