Prada Opens at Caesars Palace
Las Vegas is the place to be this weekend as F1 makes one of their last stops of the year in Sin City. Should you be there this weekend and looking to get a little shopping in, Prada just opened a new boutique at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Set within the iconic Fountain of the Gods piazza and surrounded by Roman-inspired architecture, the new space spans over 5,000 square feet. With an interior that pays homage to the Maison’s heritage courtesy of black-and-white marble flooring reminiscent of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and signature pastel green walls, you’ll find an expansive selection of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories, and leather goods. Highlights include the Prada Galleria and newly introduced Prada Explore handbags, alongside seasonal outerwear, tailoring, and footwear like the America’s Cup sneaker and Chocolate loafer.
Alaïa’s Winter Spring 2026 Collection is an Architectural Delight
One of the hottest brands at the moment is Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa. That’s evident from the overwhelming praise he’s received for his last runway show as well as his most recent CFDA accolade. Well, the string of successes keep coming with the release of the brand’s Winter Spring 2026 Archetypes collection. Showcasing architectural silhouettes and precision under Mulier’s direction, it’s presented through immersive 360 degree campaign videos shot by Shayne Laverdière. The pieces, ranging from second-skin vinyl and sequined silhouettes to fur-trimmed leather coats and signature animal prints, highlight their construction from every angle. Close-ups capture the bodies and faces that bring the clothes to life, creating a tribute to femininity, strength, and vulnerability. The collection and campaign coincide with the launch of Alaïa’s new website, so go take a look now!
Church’s Gets Merry and Bright
With Thanksgiving a week away, it’s officially the holiday season and in time for that comes Church’s festive campaign, a whimsical celebration of British tradition featuring an eccentric trio. Shot by Phil Poynter under the creative direction of David James, the images spotlight the brand’s spectrum of footwear, from Amberley Chelsea boots and Alexandra lace-ups to velvet slippers and iconic Hertford loafers. Each scene captures fireside carols, black-tie parties, and even late-night croquet on the lawn. To accompany, the brand has also released a curated selection of leather goods and accessories ideal for all of your parties, available in stores and online now.
A Paris Exhibit For Fashion Fans
Speaking of Alaïa, this autumn, La Galerie Dior and the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation are uniting for a double exhibition celebrating Azzedine Alaïa as both a visionary couturier and devoted admirer of Christian Dior. More than 100 of the nearly 600 Dior pieces collected by Alaïa (many shown publicly for the first time) are displayed at La Galerie Dior, showing his admiration for Christian Dior. Simultaneously, the Paris venue presents thirty Dior designs from Alaïa’s archive alongside a corresponding selection of Alaïa’s own work. Curated by Olivier Saillard in collaboration with Gaël Mamine, the twin exhibitions reframe Dior’s legacy through the eyes of a collector. Find your tickets here.
Balenciaga’s New Collab is For the Gamers
Over the last decade fashion has steadily gotten involved in eSports from creating outfits for characters to making full blown game-inspired collections meant to be worn IRL. One brand that’s been in the mix? Balenciaga, as they’ve dabbled in design with their involvement Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow as well as working with other major global gaming brands. The last addition to the roster is PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, one of the most popular mobile games with over one billion downloads. For this partnership you’ll find custom content, like players being able to unlock looks and pieces such as the Couture Armor look as inspired by the 52nd Couture Collection as well as styles from their Winter 25 collection. For those who prefer tangible items, there’s co-branded merch including a tee, cap, and a bag charm. In honor of the 2025 PUBG Global Competition, the winning team will also receive a custom bomber — a collector’s item to be sure.
Giorgio Armani is Ready for Ski Season
As the official outfitter of the Italian Olympic team, it’s safe to say that Giorgio Armani knows a thing or two about stylish clothing that can withstand the elements. Launched this week, the latest season of Giorgio Armani Neve continues the brand’s tradition of refined, sophisticated designs ideal for mountain life. On the womenswear side you’ll find plenty of cashmere and long-haired shearling pieces as well as jumpsuits and pea coats in tonal technical silk, sheepskin gilets, and knitwear, all in a muted palette of beige, camel, gray, and dark blue. To complement, the menswear includes metallic-fabric ski suits, down jackets, and water-repellent jumpsuits that have reflective details alongside chunky pullovers. To round it out accessories like hats, scarves, and balaclavas complete the look. And for those with dogs, there’s even a canine collection too — after all you can’t leave them out.
Donna Karan Brings Back Jewelry
While Donna Karan is best known for her seven easy pieces, the brand also had a cult following for their jewelry during the late 80s and early 90s. Elegant and sculptural, the shapes were inspired by organic forms seen in nature as conceived by sculptor Robert Lee Morris. For years you’d have to hunt them down on resale sites but now that’s about to change. The brand has announced that they’re relaunching jewelry, as inspired by their archives. Consisting of 16 pieces rendered in brushed gold, you’ll find molded stacked rings, statement necklaces, twisted cuffs, striking chains, and sleek brooches. Modern but still retaining their raw appeal, consider them new classics.
GapStudio Introduces Menswear
It’s been a busy year for Zac Posen at GapStudio between releasing his first two collections for the brand alongside all of the memorable red carpet moments. For Posens’ third outing, GapStudio Winter 2025. Inspired by iconic couple muses and fronted by Gwyneth and Apple Martin, the theme is festive dressing with a bonus: the debut of GapStudio Menswear, the brand’s first dedicated line for men. Taking inspiration from the coolness of the ’90s, the collection reimagines relaxed silhouettes with different textures and tailoring across their gender-inclusive styles. Highlights include a reversible bonded faux fur car coat, a denim jumpsuit worn by Uma Thurman, and camel colored satin suiting inspired by a custom look for Timothée Chalamet.
See Saul Steinberg’s Work at Delvaux’s New York City Flagship
Art has always been a part of Delvaux’s ethos. From working with the Magritte Foundation to the contemporary artist Kasper Bosmans, the luxury label is fond of creating installations that invite the viewer to explore the connections between creativity and savoir-faire. The latest to join the ranks is Saul Steinberg, who is best known for his humorous illustrations for The New Yorker. Currently on view at their Fifth Avenue boutique is an installation that includes a facsimile of ‘The Cocktail Party’, a piece that is a part of Steinberg’s mural series ‘The Americans’. First was commissioned for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, coincidentally the year when the Delvaux Brillant bag was launched. To accompany you’ll also find three original artworks including a never-before-seen piece. Fittingly, the brand also announced a new version of the Brillant, the Brillant Tempo, which is a softer leather iteration that feels fresh and modern. If you find yourself nearby, the installation can be seen through February.
Guess’ All American Holiday Campaign
They say home is where the heart is, especially around the holidays and Guess took that to heart, with a nostalgic, all-American take on the season that feels straight out of a Hallmark movie. Set in a rustic cabin, the cast of characters are wholesome and cheery whether romping outside in the woods or gathering around a decorated tree brimming with ornaments. Clad in easy staples like denim, cozy knits, and soft cotton basics, the models remind us that the festive spirit is less about what’s under the tree and more about the company we keep.
