Pierre-Louis Mascia will present his first-ever catwalk at Pitti 106

Celine’s latest fragrance is an ode to the 60s it-girl
Last month, Celine announced the introduction of a beauty line that debuted in the FW24 collection film La Collection de l’Arc de Triomphe – an alluring ode to 60s glamour – accompanying Hedi Slimane’s Haute Parfumerie arm of the house. Continuing the designer’s foray into the seminal decade, Slimane’s latest fragrance Zouzou takes its name and inspiration from the sylph-like heroines donning mini-skirts and pixie-cropped haircuts who defined the era.

 

Omega is a girl’s best friend
Omega has extended its Speedmaster 38mm collection with new models in both gold and steel, each with a sparkling bezel studded with 52 diamonds and a polished crown set with a diamond. To celebrate these new models, a brand new campaign featuring Omega ambassadors Han So-hee, Liu Shishi, and Kaia Gerber has dropped.

 

Ferragamo takes us to the beach with their pre-fall campaign
Ferragamo has dropped their pre-fall 2024 campaign, photographed by Harley Weir. “We wanted to play with the idea of fantasy and reality,” says Creative Director Maximilian Davis in a statement, “and Harley is someone who can express something that is both very real and very magical.” Against a backdrop of Italian sculptures rendered as sandcastles, the summer wardrobe reveals itself: pieces that can seamlessly adapt between long days and even longer evenings spent on the beach.

Optical illusion office prints and sleek metallic finishes converge across a diverse array of apparel, footwear, and accessories.

 

Jordss and Lady Banton front the latest Dr. Martens campaign
Dr. Martens has dropped a new campaign that is a vibrant fusion of cross-generational heritage, sound and culture, featuring visionary artist Jordss and the esteemed Lady Banton.

Loewe’s Challengers merch drop
Aside from the steamy love triangle, riveting tennis and stellar performances from Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, Luca Guadagnino’s latest blockbuster Challengers is also serving up a healthy dose of wardrobe envy.

A new beginning at Chloé
“As I begin my Chloé journey,” Chemena Kamali of Chloé says in a statement, “I have intuitively embraced the spirit and codes of the house’s history; I want to capture the soul of the Chloé woman that I feel and love.” Dubbed The Beginning Collection, this new campaign acts as a prologue to Kamali’s debut at Paris Fashion Week in February. In her own words, her tenure at Chloé will be a re-rooting, a new beginning. We are very excited!

Reebok and Botter look to football for inspiration
Reebok and Botter have teamed up for a collection that embodies the colours, energy and spirit of Caribbean Couture.

Late Checkout brings the Hotel to life in their latest campaign
Late Checkout has dropped its latest campaign set in a conceptual and ever-changing hotel. Each look encompasses its own character, be they employees or guests,  who bring with them different styles and attitudes. These characters tell extravagant stories of glamour and decadence: chance encounters in hotel lobbies, a lazy Bellboy bending the rules, and an esoteric Rockstar who destroys more than he creates. The Painter, who lends his name to the collection, was meant to only stay for a couple of days but he’s been holed up in room 202 for as long as anyone remembers…
