Tiffany & Co. light up 5th Avenue. Balenciaga celebrates 25 years of Le City, and more.
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas in New York City. The reason? Tiffany & Co. kicked off the season’s festivities, lighting up the Bird on the Rock installation at its 5th Avenue Landmark boutique. That’s just the beginning, as the brand’s neighbors are all slated to unveil its windows in the weeks to come, filling the area with all things merry and bright. And speaking of merry and bright, more holiday campaigns dropped this week from Chanel fine jewelry to Boucheron to Church’s, adding to the magical feel in the air. Also in the vein of magic comes a very special anniversary as Balenciaga’s iconic Le City bag celebrates 25 years. How better to acknowledge the moment than with a Damien Hirst collab and accompanying campaign that includes one of the OG fans of the style, Nicole Ritchie? Talk about a match made in Y2K nostalgia heaven.
Read on to learn more and catch up on what else you might have missed.
Chanel Goes on a Holiday Quest
Sometimes the smallest gestures make the biggest impression, a sentiment at the heart of Chanel’s latest watches and fine jewelry campaign time to the holidays. Set against an imaginary frozen landscape, the clips follow two friends on a journey to return a lost egg to its home, celebrating the spirit of friendship, generosity and connection along the way. To accompany the campaign, British musician Sampha has composed an original score for Chanel for the first time, bringing extra warmth to the story.
Balenciaga Celebrates 25 Years of Le City with Damien Hirst
Some icons never go out of style, and Balenciaga’s Le City bag has 25 years of history to prove it. To mark its 25th anniversary, the brand teamed up with artist Damien Hirst for a collaboration that couldn’t feel more fitting. Hirst’s signature multicolored spots, butterfly motifs, and Spin paintings find a new canvas in the beloved silhouette, reimagined in every form mini to large bags, to wallets and charms. The campaign is just as great, bringing together a starstudded cast of Le City devotees across Paris, LA, and Shanghai. Nicole Richie (a Y2K IYKYK moment!), Isabelle Huppert, Rachel Sennott, Hugo Ekitike, and Cecelia Boey all take the bag for a spin in their respective city. With a lineup like this, it’s no wonder why Le City remains as relevant as ever.
Have Yourself a Very Tiffany Christmas
Nobody does a blue Christmas quite like Tiffany & Co. The brand has a habit of outdoing itself come holiday season, and this year is no exception, welcoming guests to its Fifth Avenue Landmark earlier this week for an evening of celebrations. Amanda Seyfried led the festivities, joined by fellow house ambassador Mike Madison and guests including Lauren Santo Domingo, Jordyn Woods, and Louisa Jacobson, Seyfried marked the occasion by illuminating the Bird on a Rock installation. Inside, a sparkling winter wonderland brought scenes from the latest holiday campaign, Love Is a Gift, to life, while outside, the Fifth Avenue snowflake glowed Tiffany Blue.
The Frick Stars in Louis Vuitton’s Newest Ads
Louis Vuitton’s cruise 2027 campaign is combining fashion, art and architecture. Shot by Ethan James Green inside New York’s Frick Collection, where Nicolas Ghesquière presented the collection last May, and starring House Ambassadors Chase Infiniti and Alysa Liu alongside actresses Giulia Maenza and Amiah Miller, the images explore the museum’s historic interiors and Ghesquière’s modern, expressive silhouettes. Leather, Art Deco detailing and vibrant pops of color are paired with signature bags, including the new Highline bag, Speedy 30 Soft and Multipass, creating a playful contrast between heritage and contemporary design.
A Little Winter Magic From Boucheron
Winter has officially arrived in Paris, at least according to Boucheron. For its 2026 holiday campaign, the French jeweler has enlisted Daisy Edgar-Jones, Han So-hee, and Dilan Çiçek Deniz to transport us to snow-covered city, where the usual hustle and bustle fades into a peaceful stillness. There’s something magical about the way the snow quiets a city, and these images capture that fleeting moment suspended somewhere between reality and fantasy. Against a backdrop of falling snowflakes and glowing streetlights, the three stars look particularly elegant in pieces from the brand’s Quatre, Serpent Bohème, and Plume de Paon collections. A breath of fresh winter air before the holiday chaos begins.
Palm Beach Welcomes Bvlgari
Bringing a touch of Roman flair to Florida, Bvlgari just opened a new boutique on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue. Set within a heritage building, the 3,538 square-foot space blends contemporary design with the architecture of Rome. Featuring travertine columns, a striking Serpenti chandelier by Venini crafted from 300 Murano glass crystal wands, and bespoke decorative panels inspired by the surrounding coastal landscape, it makes for a beautiful shopping experience. Showcasing the brand’s high jewelry (including the first time Eclettica has been shown in the U.S.), fine jewelry, watches and handbags, including signatures such as Serpenti, Divas’ Dream and B.zero1, the latest addition to the Bvlgari family is bringing together Italian craft and Palm Beach’s creative spirit. In celebration of this moment, the brand staged a gala attended by the likes of Venus Williams, Chanel Iman, and Jewel.
Cashmere Lovers Take Note!
Celebrating one of fashion’s most coveted natural fibers, Loro Piana is marking the 11th edition of their Cashmere of the Year Award with a ceremony and immersive exhibition at New York’s Brant Foundation. Showcasing three couples of cashmere herders from Mongolia for their exceptional 2025 harvests, this year’s first prize went to Mr. Siqingbilige and Mrs. Hasiqiqige, whose submission achieved an impressive fineness of just 12.89 microns. The exhibition honours the brand’s longstanding relationship with cashmere, exploring its origins, heritage and commitment to supporting herding communities through initiatives including The Loro Piana Method and Resilient Threads.
COS Adds Four New Scents to the Rotation
Layering is practically second nature to COS, so why should fragrance be any different? The brand is bringing its signature approach to effortless dressing into the world of fragrance with a second launch of COS Perfumery, introduced just last April. Four new eau de parfums – Relique, Momoire, L’Essence Epure, and Noir Delice – are the latest additions to the collection, available in full-size bottles, travel-friendly editions with leather holders, and a discovery set designed for mixing and matching scents to suit your mood. The beauty here is in the versatility: worn alone or layered together, these are kind of understated essentials that could easily become everyday classics.
Lost in the (Celine) Details
Michael Rider is proving yet again, why everyone wants to dress like a Celine model. Case in point the brand’s latest campaign for spring 2027. Zoë Ghertner returns as photographer while video is by Pantera. Featuring the season’s best pieces, the images highlight the power of styling whether it’s an armful of bangles stacked against a ribbed knit, a pair of oversized sunglasses worn with a headscarf, or deliberately mismatched boots peeking out of cuffed denim. Use it as inspiration whether you’re shopping for these new styles or you’re reinterpreting it via your closet.
Frolic With Church’s For The Holidays
Church’s is embracing snow, a house full of presents, and nowhere else to be in its new holiday 2026 campaign, “Snowed In.” Artistically directed by David James and shot by Ben Weller, the five-scene story follows two friends through a series of Christmas rituals, from decorating the Christmas tree to reading a book by the fire, with the house serving as a backdrop for the brand;s latest footwear. Featuring everything from rugged Shire boots and brushed leather lace-ups to velvet slippers and Royal Collection styles, the images celebrate getting dressed up, even when there’s no particular reason to leave the house. The Holiday collection is available now in Church’s boutiques and online.
