Louis Vuitton Color Blossom goes blue, Loewe’s Bergdorf Goodman takeover, and more.
While it might feel like fashion has been in spring mode since January (technically true, since ad campaigns started dropping that early!), it’s officially the first day of the new season today. And just in time for the vernal equinox comes some timely news like Louis Vuitton’s new additions to their Colorful Blossom fine jewelry line, including the introduction of navy sodalite. Meanwhile both Loewe and Dior are embracing retail activations in the form of takeovers at Bergdorf Goodman and South Coast Plaza respectively. And what could be more indicative that warmer weather lays ahead than America’s favorite pastime, baseball? With opening day on the horizon across stadiums, Dolce & Gabbana along with ‘47 introduces designer caps — in case you need something to wear to the game.
Read on to learn more and catch up on what else you might have missed.
A Colorful New Louis Vuitton Addition
Continuing their year-long celebration of the 130th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton monogram comes a refresh of their Color Blossom fine jewelry line. Debuting in 2015, the collection of sun and star designs features delicate rings, necklaces, earrings and more in hues that range from vibrant green to white to pale pink. The latest addition? Rare navy sodalite, a vibrant blue that’s seldom seen in jewelry today. Also in the offering are new pavé designs that add a touch of sparkle. Consisting of 28 new pieces in total, they’re meant to be mixed and matched into your existing pieces seanlessly. Find it here.
Loewe Takes Over Bergdorf Goodman
Creative Directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez made their way back to their hometown of New York City and brought along their debut collection for Loewe stateside. With an exclusive window display and immersive interior installation, Bergdorf Goodman is showcasing highlights from spring 2026 including bags and ready-to-wear against a backdrop of vibrant stacked ceramic-tile benches, which nod to the artisan-made ones from the luxury brand’s native Spain. Upon entry guests will notice that the first floor has been transformed to resemble the runway, complete with colorful blocks juxtaposed against looks from the show. Vibrant and eye-catching, it’s a welcome way to usher in spring along Fifth Avenue.
Dior Transforms South Coast Plaza
To celebrate Jonathan Anderson’s debut collections for Dior, South Coast Plaza’s Jewel Court has been transformed into an immersive pop-up. Inspired by the brand’s heritage, the space reimagines archival elements, most notably the original Colifichets boutique. Blurring the lines between past and present, the installation brings together women’s and men’s collections with the new Dior aesthetic. Adding a personal touch with exclusive customizable keepsakes like perfumed ceramics to miniature notebooks, these are available by appointment, offering people a tailored experience.
Yes, The Balenciaga Le City is Back and Better Than Ever
Over the last few years, with Y2K nostalgia at its peak, it-bags of that era have made a comeback and arguably the most popular was Balenciaga’s Le City. Introduced in 2001, it was the handbag of choice for cool girls during the aughts and that fact remains true today. For spring 2026 Pierpaolo Piccioli brought back the iconic silhouette, albeit with a few tweaks. Called Le City First, you’ll find rolled leather handles with hand-braided lacing, a detachable strap with a shoulder pad, and a leather framed mirror set. The same thimble-shaped studs remain as well but the overall design is thankfully lighter on the shoulder, made with calfskin lined in contrasting suede in combinations like plum and biscuit, lagoon and cassis lining, or black and ruby.

Billie Eilish Dabbles in Jewelry Design
Last fall John Hardy announced a creative partnership with Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell. Eagle-eyed fans might have spotted the result of that link up on the singer when she walked the Grammys red carpet,clad in yet-to-be released earrings and rings. Well, that collection has officially launched this week. Called Icon Stud, it blends architectural pyramid studs with the brand’s signature Balinese handwoven chain and is meant to reflect both strength and fluidity. Consisting of a series of rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces in mixed metals and diamond pavé, they signals a more modern edge for the brand, especially with creative director Reed Krakoff at the helm.
A New Chapter For Church’s
With a 150 year old history, Church’s has amassed quite an archive and with all of that content comes Church’s Chapters, a curated series that celebrates their contribution to English shoemaking. Shot at their St James Road headquarters in Northampton, the campaign focuses around rare materials, tools and iconic designs that have shaped their identity. Highlights include a delicately beaded women’s shoe from 1900 alongside classics such as the Consul, Shanghai and traditional Ghillie styles.
Apple Celebrates 50 Years
It’s strange to imagine life without at least one Apple product in your hands and yet, it’s equally as hard to wrap your mind around the fact that the tech company is turning 50 years old. In honor of that big milestone on April 1st, Apple kicked off weeks worth of celebrations with a memorable performance by Alicia Keys. Set in the middle of Grand Central Station (they have a retail location there) during the middle of rush hour, name a more iconic New York City moment than hearing “Empire State of Mind” as you’re waiting for your Metro North train. Meanwhile in China, pop star Chris Lee staged a show of her own in Chengdu and there will be others to follow across the globe. “Thinking different has always been at the heart of Apple,” said Tim Cook, CEO. “It’s what has driven us to create products that empower people to express themselves, to connect, and to create something wonderful.” In honor of the occasion, they’ve also created a new Instagram @helloapple, as a way to reflect on their rich history.
Dolce & Gabbana Says, “Batter Up”
What’s more indicative of spring than the start of the baseball season? Just in time for opening days across the country comes news that Dolce & Gabbana is teaming up with ’47 for an exclusive capsule that merges fashion, sport and streetwear culture. At its core is the reimagined ’47 ‘Clean Up’ cap, updated with the Italian brand’s signature leopard print, DG logo and unique denim patchwork designs. The collection also introduces a new balaclava and features iconic teams like the Dodgers and Yankees.
Diptyque’s City Candles Are Back
It’s that time of year again for Diptyque fans — city candles are back in stock, both online and in-stores. No longer will you need to beg your friend headed to Milan or Paris to bring back your favorite scent because for one week only from March 19 through the 29th you’ll be able to buy them all. Perhaps Seoul, with its floral, incense, and musk notes sounds appealing or maybe Berlin, which is meant to evoke yellow flowers and honey, is more your speed. Whatever suits your space, you’ll be able to sniff all 12 destinations and transport yourself across the globe.
Comme des Garçons Collaborates With The DIA Foundation
Can a product be more intellectually stimulating than a scent created by artist Meg Webster for Comme des Garcons in partnership with the DIA Foundation? We can’t think of a better one. Both the fragrance and the design of the bottle were created in close collaboration with the artist, reflecting her body of work. Housed in a polished silver tetrahedral box, a form central to Webster’s formal vocabulary, it was created with perfumer Emilie Coppermann and has notes of geranium, olibanum, carrot seed oil, mushroom accord and a base of patchouli madagascar, mineral wood and sandalwood. Complex and grounded, it sounds like the Comme des Garcons person to a T.
