How does a city inspire us? For some, it might be about its architecture; for others, about the people they meet on the streets; and for someone else, about comfort and the things that fit the rhythm of everyday life. The Reserved autumn collection becomes a space where these different perspectives come to life. Meet four women from four European cities: Warsaw, Milan, Düsseldorf and Bucharest, the protagonists of the “Four Cities, Four Ways, Four Styles” story.

Each of the protagonists chose from the new Reserved collection the pieces that best reflect her style and personality. Their choices are different, just like the cities they live in. The result is a personal perspective on the autumn wardrobe, from bold leather silhouettes, tailoring-inspired cuts and denim, to feminine details, prints and soft textures specific to the season.

The city is an important element of the story, but it doesn’t define the protagonists’ style. Each of them offers her own interpretation, choosing what makes her feel good and what fits most naturally with her lifestyle. Their stories show that inspiration can come from the most diverse places, but ultimately, it’s the personal way we look at fashion that determines how we wear it.

Julia Iancu, Bucharest

Julia Iancu chose pieces from the Reserved collection that blend simplicity with feminine details and surprising combinations. Her autumn selection includes wool, lace and jacquard, alongside practical pieces, easy to integrate into everyday life.

“My style reflects Bucharest’s creative energy, where different sources of inspiration and influences blend naturally,” says Julia. “I like my outfits to be relaxed and feminine, but at the same time, I like to play with unexpected details, which give them a more personal character.”

Among her outfits are a red blazer-jacket, accessorized with a brooch, wide black trousers and a suede bag, creating a powerful yet relaxed look; a pleated midi skirt with a check print, worn with a delicate V-neck sweater and a matching scarf; as well as a leather-textured jacket, combined with beige barrel-leg trousers and a white shirt, completed by a carefully chosen hairstyle. The looks also include more feminine silhouettes: a cream mini dress, worn with nude-toned shoes, as well as classic blue denim, paired with a cream shirt with lace details, red-toed ballet flats and a suede bag.

If you’re visiting Bucharest and looking for style inspiration, Julia recommends stopping for a coffee:

“I’d say, first of all, at the specialty coffee shops in Bucharest,” says Julia when asked where the most stylish people can be found. “I’m also a big coffee lover myself, so these are my favorite places to spend time. This is where you can meet the most interesting and well-dressed people.”

Erika Boldrin, Milan

The Italian perspective on the autumn collection is represented by Erika Boldrin, who opts for leather, fur, animal prints, jacquard, lace and corset-inspired silhouettes, building a spectacular, sensual approach to the autumn wardrobe. Her style captures very well the character of Milan, combining nonchalance with elegance and bold elements with attention to detail.

“I love combining deep blue with military green. I created an outfit for Reserved starting from this combination, and I fell in love with it,” says Erika about her favorite color combinations. “Another favorite combination is camel beige with black. It’s a timeless pairing that can still have personality, especially when you add an interesting texture or a statement accessory.”

Travel and observing people’s style in different corners of the world also play an important role in how Erika relates to fashion. During her most recent trip through Canada, she found a cowboy-style belt, which she wants to work into her outfits this winter. In Milan, she looks for inspiration mostly in Brera, one of the city’s most atmospheric and stylish neighborhoods, where she particularly appreciates the discreet elegance of its older residents.

If you want to look like a woman from Milan, here’s how Erika describes their style:

“Definitely, a leather blazer worn over a lace top, straight-cut jeans and suede ankle boots, with classic Milanese architecture in the background. This combination of nonchalance and elegance feels very ‘Milanese’ to me a bit edgy, a bit romantic, but always carefully put together.”

Linda Schulz, Düsseldorf

“For me, Düsseldorf has a very elegant, business-oriented energy, which naturally influences my style,” says Linda. “I like minimalism, well-made cuts and quality essential pieces, but I always add something that gives the outfit a more personal character.”

Linda approaches the autumn wardrobe from the perspective of practical solutions, without giving up distinctive accents. Her choices include denim, suits, prints, belts and fur collars. Her style reflects well the character of Düsseldorf: it’s minimalist and sophisticated, but also keeps a playful note and never seems too studied.

One of the key elements of her wardrobe is the oversized blazer a timeless piece, easy to combine with different items. These are exactly the kinds of pieces that best reflect Linda’s approach to fashion: classic cuts, neutral colors and one stronger detail, which gives the whole look personality.

“I look for inspiration when I walk around the city and watch people. Düsseldorf is very diverse: from elegant, impeccable outfits to more experimental combinations and this diversity is actually what inspires me the most,” says Linda.

Her selection highlights the more functional side of the autumn collection pieces that can easily be worked into an everyday wardrobe, while still keeping their character thanks to distinctive details and shapes.

Sylwia Butor, Warsaw

“My style: simple, classic. The city definitely influences the way I dress. At the same time, I try to integrate my own style, drawing inspiration from what I see on the streets,” says Sylwia Butor, representing Warsaw.

Her autumn selection is built on strong silhouettes and eclectic combinations. Leather, wool, denim and well-defined cuts meet here. A sporty jacket worn with a leather pencil skirt, a total leather look a jacket with accentuated shoulders and barrel-leg trousers, a snake-print trench coat or an outfit inspired by an artistic muse, made up of a black wool turtleneck sweater, tall boots and a wide, brown, natural suede midi skirt, completed by cat-eye sunglasses all reflect her passion for strong pieces that remain, at the same time, very practical.

Sylwia shows that the season of jackets and coats doesn’t limit personal expression at Reserved there are numerous statement options that draw attention: a leather-look trench coat, a suede bomber jacket with oversized gold buttons, a Napoleon-style blazer, a faux fur jacket or a light blue wool blazer, which can also be worn as a jacket.

“Minimalism, architecture, people. I find inspiration in them when I least expect it, which might be exactly why I love this city so much,” says Sylwia when describing Warsaw’s influence on her style.

Her choices create a wardrobe where femininity meets stronger silhouettes, and elegant pieces can be combined with sportier, more relaxed styles.

Although each protagonist approaches autumn fashion from a different perspective, they all have one thing in common awareness of their own style and the freedom to choose what truly suits them. Their choices present different ways of building a wardrobe and show that inspiration has no single source, no single definition, and that every woman can create her own story starting from the new pieces in the Reserved autumn collection.
