A Collab That’s Going to Sell Out
Stuart Weitzman and Sandy Liang have teamed up for a new capsule collection, just in time for fall.

With a warm palette designed to slide right into any wardrobe, this collaboration is a true fusion of two iconic brands. But be quick, as this exclusive collection is only available through September 29th.
Bottega Veneta’s Alien Fall Ad Campaign
For Matthieu Blazy’s winter 2024 Bottega Veneta ad campaign, the creative director takes us on a journey through the rugged, otherworldly landscapes of Utah and Nevada, notably near Area 51. Exploring themes of introspection, resilience, and rebirth, it draws inspiration from the stark beauty of our Earth’s barren landscapes where life finds a way to thrive. Photographed by Alec Soth, the campaign captures models moving against a backdrop of towering rocks, endless roads, and desert vegetation, highlighting its sheer vastness. Rahim Fortune’s campaign film, set to a score by Le Motel, brings the collection to life with a mix of urgency and tranquility. This collection is a testament to the art of enduring and thriving in the harshest of conditions.

Burberry Fall is True to Their U.K. Roots
Another fall ad campaign to add to the list? The new Burberry one shot in the Lake District and influenced by the people and places from the United Kingdom and Ireland. Starring the brand’s go-to models like Adowa Aboah, Lila Moss, and Lily Donaldson, among others, it’s a quintessential celebration of the brand’s heritage. As for the clothes? Naturally plenty of wool and leather as well as layered coats, double-breasted suits, and cowl-neck sweaters. With colors that range from dark brown to green and beige, the vibe is classic and cozy. Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee says, “We were inspired by the characters who wear Burberry and the outdoors and the landscapes that are part of the brand’s heritage.”
Givenchy and Bogs’s Gorpcore Link Up

And what’s a Hollywood-adjacent bag without some star wattage? Starring the likes of Isabelle Huppert, Michelle Yeoh and Naomi Watts, the images by Nadav Kander feature the celebs seated and dressed in sleek Balenciaga outfits with the new style seen in laps or held in hands.
Messika Taps Two Models For Their Latest Ads
Messika‘s new campaign puts the spotlight on American model Taylor Hill, who dazzles in the brand’s So Move Collection. Crafted by Valérie Messika, the images celebrate life moments where jewelry becomes more than an accessory, it enhances a silhouette, captures a mood, and marks life’s turning points. Joining Hill is model and friend of the brand, Soo Joo Park, who brings her dynamic energy to a striking shoot featuring the notable Move Noa bangle.
Tiffany & Co. Celebrates Elsa Peretti
Guess who’s marking a milestone this year? At Tiffany & Co., the brand is celebrating 50 years of Elsa Peretti’s iconic designs with the debut of the legendary Bone cuff in its With Love, Since 1837 campaign. Launched on September 3, this campaign honors Peretti’s signature blend of elegance and edge, and her arrival at Tiffany & Co. in 1974. Inspired by famed window designer Gene Moore, the campaign showcases imaginative vignettes that fuse the brand’s heritage with a modern twist. The Bone cuff, sculpted to perfectly fit the wrist, remains a symbol of Peretti’s innovative vision and elegance.
