ICYMI: Dior’s new store, Rihanna for LV and a J.W. Anderson pigeon
Time flies, so to keep you in the loop, we’ve rounded up all the important snippets of fashion news from the past seven days into one neat feature. This week includes Louis Vuitton at Sotheby’s and Alexander McQueen candles.
Carrie Bradshaw has a J.W. Anderson Pigeon Clutch
First introduced as part of the Men’s FW 2022 & Women’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection presentation in January 2022, the Pigeon Clutch from J.W. Anderson has become an icon in itself, exemplifying the designer’s playful approach to fashion. So, it’s only natural that Carrie Bradshaw herself would own one.
Making a cameo in this week’s episode of And Just Like That, we saw Carrie proudly clutching her pigeon as she dashed around New York, being chic in a way that only she can.
The Pigeon Clutch is available now at jwanderson.com.
Boiler Room X Umbro
The sportswear brand has teamed up with London club dons Boiler Room to make the ultimate club-ready kit. Hitting that sweet spot between football and club culture, the seven piece collection includes a pinstripe tracksuit and footy jersey decorated with an x-ray design. The collection has been documented by British photographer Ewen Spencer, known for his in-action shots of UK club culture.
The collection is out now.
