Givenchy by Sarah Burton, McQueen, and Balenciaga all dropped new ones.
This week brings a slew like Givenchy by Sarah Burton’s latest, starring the likes of Annie Leibowitz, Kaia Gerber, and more. Equally star-heavy is Balenciaga’s “Heart and Body” which features the likes of Harris Dickinson, Winona Ryder, Hudson Williams, and more. Church’s gets into the game, continuing their relationship with actor Theo James while Ferrari goes back to their roots, staging a series of images that any F1 fan would love. As for McQueen? Well, they’re going scorched earth — literally, the ads feel like an eerie, surreal, and apocalyptic scene straight out of a movie.
Givenchy by Sarah Burton Brings Back Her Cast of Characters For Spring
It’s very on brand for Sarah Burton to work with strong female figures to embody her collections for Givenchy. Continuing on the theme of a cast of characters, she worked with photographer Collier Schorr to capture Annie Leibowitz alongside Kaia Gerber, Liu Wen, Selena Forest and Isabelle Albuquerque. The images capture the women’s laughter, their visible enjoyment of the clothes and the dynamic of being in front and behind the camera.
McQueen Goes Scorched Earth
Seán McGirr loves a horror story. Whether it’s diving into the legend of the banshee or most recently, for McQueen spring 2026, taking inspiration from The Wicker Man, a tale about a religious policement searching for a missing child in a remote Celtic pagan vilage. That haunting backdrop serves as the perfect setting for the accompanying ad campaign. Photographed and directed by Harley Weir, the images capture musicians Caroline Polachek, Celeste and Amy Taylor alongside models Alex Consani and Sora Choi. Set within a scorched earth looking world, it’s an exploration of the tension between nature and urban landscapes, mirroring the collection’s contrasts.
Pierpaolo’s New Balenciaga Campaign Has Already Gone Viral
With a cast that includes newly minted brand ambassadors Harris Dickinson and Winona Ryder alongside longtime ambassador Roh Yoonseo plus a slew of new “Friends of the House” including Hudson Williams, Mona Tougaard, Havana Rose Liu, and more, Pierpaolo Piccioli really knows how to make an impactful Balenciaga campaign. Called “Heart and Body”, the David Sims shot images reflect a new community for the brand, one focused on individuals and characters with a shared sense of respect, sensitivity, strength and freedom. Clad in a mix of Piccioli’s three collections under the brand: summer 26 and fall 26, it’s no surprise that between the cast and clothes, the images spread on wildfire on social media. It’ll be interesting to see who among these faces will show up front row at Balenciaga’s co-ed show come March 7th.
Gucci’s New Bag is the Perfect Mashup
Handbag lovers are well familiar with Gucci’s lineup from classics like the Jackie, Bamboo, and Marmont, among others. The newest to join the bunch? Meet the Borsetto, a new style whose name blends borsa (Italian for bag) and morsetto (Italian for horsebit), serving as a nod to their classic horsebit motif. First seen in the late 1940s and long associated with Gucci’s equestrian heritage, the emblem adds a subtle vintage note to the bag’s contemporary silhouette. With its elongated handle and detachable strap, the roomy design comes in dark brown suede, soft black leather and sand, or dark brown GG Monogram canvas. Designed for everyday life, shop it here.
Loro Piana Finds The Light
When you think of Loro Piana, the first thing that comes to mind is their soft cashmere. That’s a testament to their ability to craft fabrics that feel like the ultimate luxury experience. The newest innovation to join the mix? Royal Lightness, a new textile focused on lightness courtesy of its unique texture. Created over two years at the house’s facilities in Roccapietra and Quarona, the material includes both a yarn, blending merino wool with fine silk, and a double-sided fabric that melds silk and cashmere. Finished through specialized brushing and traditional hand-sewn stitching, it’s airy, decadent, and exactly what you want on your skin come spring.
Church’s Theo James Love Affair Continues
Last fall we saw a fictional day in the life of Theo James courtesy of Church’s, as James is a brand ambassador for the classic English footwear label. Now, they’re giving us a second glimpse, courtesy of their spring 2026 campaign. Called what else but “A Day in the Life Part II”, the Phil Poynter shot images is set at an English country estate, following James through a series of moments that nod to British eccentricity. Across the day, he wears key styles from the new Shanghai Essence family, including updated monk straps and loafers, as well as designs from the formal Crown Collection. The collection will be available online and in stores this month.
Versace Says Pivooooot!
Despite the obvious Ross from Friends joke, Versace’s new Pivot bag has a very different backstory. First introduced at the brand’s spring 2026 runway presentation, it’s a reinterpretation of the classic bucket silhouette. With a new Medusa emblem set within a leather oval macaron, the design references the iconic motif found at Via Gesù 12, the brand’s original Milan home. Created for versatility, the Pivot features a convertible handle that transitions from shoulder bag to handheld. Available in two sizes and a range of colored leather and suede finishes, the bag is now available in boutiques and online.
The Unexpected Jimmy Choo Collaboration From Paris Fashion Week Has Dropped
Of all the brands Jimmy Choo would collaborate with, the avant-garde Noir Kei Ninomiya would probably not make the list of suspects. And yet, the two did come together, debuting a series of accessories during the Japanese label’s spring 2026 runway. How do you take two different aesthetics and make it feel genuine to both parties? Well, you lean into what each does best. For the former it’s leather craftsmanship while the latter is all about letting your imagination fly.

A Tome For Book Lovers
Roger Vivier: Heritage and Imagination, a new monograph published by Rizzoli, is not a mere retrospective or chronological retelling of Roger Vivier’s life. Instead, the monograph is a manifestation of the cultural impact of one of the most important design figures of the 20th century, and in turn how this cultural landscape inspired the designer. Curated by Elizabeth Semmelhack, Director and Senior Curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, Heritage and Imagination is a portrait of his legacy, where his imagination meets the maison’s heritage. Structured in five parts or Salons, each chapter unveils a world where ideas, images, and reflections intersect freely across time, disciplines, and sensibilities.
