Ilona Hamer and Peta Heinsen are sitting on the sun-soaked terrace of La Posta Vecchia in Rome. On a brief trip to Rome to celebrate the recent release of their summer collection, the sisters appear as though they came straight out of a shoot for Matteau. After all, the cult-favorite brand they co-founded in 2015 is designed for living in the moment. Across a spread of salad, lentils with roasted carrots, and cold drinks, the pair finish each other’s sentences to reflect on their paths.

Walking into the Odeon on a rainy Friday, Erin Walsh appears with a warm smile, great hair, and a large Louis Vuitton Neverfull PM tote filled with everything she needs for the day. Her look is effortless. It's no coincidence that she is the stylist behind some of the best-dressed women around the world—Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Jessica Parker.
