Designer Barbara Baldieri-March breaks it down to the can’t-leave-home-without-them basics.

“I only pack things that fit into my carry-on,” explains Barbara Baldieri-March, alluding to the inspiration behind her brand-new clothing line, Stelle. The collection, which features mainly black-and-white wear-everywhere staples (basic trenches [$850, pictured below], fitted pants, simple dresses), makes getting dressed for flights pretty easy—useful, since Baldieri-March owns residences in Manhattan, Malibu, California and St. Barts.

“I always keep a Rhodia sketch pad close by for inspiration.”
