10 Things You Might Have Missed This Week: That Pre-NYFW Rush

Fall ads from Burberry and Tom Ford, Givenchy’s Shark Pinch boots, and more.

You’re probably reading this while dashing off to your last long weekend, making the most of the final days of summer and its lack of responsibilities. Well, it’s back to reality next week as New York fashion week kicks off and life resumes back to normal. And nothing serves as a bigger reminder of that  than the fall campaigns, with the likes of Bottega Veneta, Burberry, and Tom Ford welcoming in the new season with their respective takes on the latest collections. Speaking of new clothes in stores, there are also some new releases to note namely Givenchy’s latest iteration of their iconic Shark boots, Christian Louboutin’s updated take on the Pigalle heel, and Rimowa’s very commuter friendly leather line.

Givenchy’s Newest Boots Have Plenty of Bite

One of Givenchy’s most recognizable silhouettes is back, albeit with a twist. Meet the Shark Pinch Boot, newly elongated and refined by Creative Director Sarah Burton. Extending the original signature shape to thigh-high, the boot combines a sculptural double shank construction with their new “Pinch” hardware, taken from Burton’s debut season bag designs. Appearing in six variations across the fall 2026 runway, from tailoring to eveningwear, the design mixes structure and sensuality while following the natural movement of the leg. The Shark Pinch Boot is now available in stores and online.

A London Icon Gets Lit Up

For Burberry’s fall 2026 show, the brand chose a pretty spectacular spot to stage their runway: in the shadow of Tower Bridge, lit up brilliantly. It’s no surprise then that for the fall 2026 ad campaign the iconic London landmark makes a repeat appearance. Shot by Glen Luchford and starring the likes of FKA Twigs (who voiced the soundtrack) and Romeo Beckham along with a cast of characters, it’s a vibrant ode to the city at night and its hustle and bustle. Clad in outerwear that feels evening appropriate courtesy of Daniel Lee’s use of silk and fluid faille, you’ll also find jumpsuits, kilts, and jogging pants mixed in — a combination of refined and urban. Other standouts include the latest boots: the knee-high Pilar for women and the biker-style Ken for men. And of course, there are bags including the equestrian-inspired Bridle which can be found in solid colors or in the brand’s signature check print.

You’ll Want to Check Out Chanel’s NYC Beauty Pop-Up

Find yourself in the Meatpacking District next week? Well, this is one pop-up not to miss as Chanel is bringing the world of Coco Mademoiselle to life in honor of the launch of Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu. Inspired by the fragrance’s new campaign starring Gracie Abrams, the cafe style set-up invites guests to settle in for personalized fragrance help, with the new scent taking center stage. Customers can also explore the entire Coco Mademoiselle collection, alongside Chanel makeup and beauty favourites. Free and open to the public, the immersive space will take over 873 Washington Street on select dates from September 11th to the 20th.

Haider Ackermann Knows Sex Appeal

Seduction is at the heart of the Tom Ford brand and Haider Ackermann’s fall 2026 campaign embraces that with full throttle. Shot by Stuart Winecoff and featuring a stellar cast of Liu Wen, Kristen McMenamy and photographer-cum-model Malick Bodian, Ackermann’s paper-cut sharp garments are stark and confronting against a crisp, white background. Light bounces off cheekbones and the shadows embed into the crevices of their skin. They flirt with the lens and each other, eyes focused and direct, inviting the onlooker to join in with the fun, but proceed with caution. 

New Additions to a Tiffany & Co. Classic

For Tiffany & Co.’s latest chapter of its now iconic Bird on a Rock, the motif is reimagined under the creative direction of Nathalie Verdeille across both fine and high jewelry. Inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s celebrated 1965 design, the latest range from sculptural 18k yellow gold birds to the abstract Wings collection, where platinum and gold feathers capture flight. At the high jewelry level, the new Feathers suite transforms the birds into intricate compositions of platinum, gold and diamonds, developed over nearly three years. Talk about letting your imagination soar.

A Revamped, More Comfortable Pigalle Pump

As a teen Christian Louboutin interned at the famed Folies Bergère in the Pigalle area of Paris. Captivated by the legendary cabaret dancers, these women would serve as the inspiration behind the Pigalle heel, which was introduced 20 years ago. Known for its sharp heels and serious pitch, the shoe is meant to lengthen the leg and refine the posture. Worn by the likes of Rihanna, Kate Moss, and Zendaya, it’s been a red carpet favorite over the years, comfort be damned. Now that’s changed, with the brand announcing the release of the La Pigalle, a revamped version of the classic. Featuring an everlasting red sole and internal padding, it’s the best of both worlds, retaining the same sex appeal while offering enhanced comfort. Shop it here.

Eight Photographers Shot Bottega Veneta’s Fall Campaign

What do you get when you put a group of photographers on one project? It sounds like a recipe for creative disaster but under Bottega Veneta’s creative director Louis Trotter, it’s actually the basis for the brand’s fall 2026 campaign. Featuring the works of Chris Rhodes, Cristina Stohle, James Ari King, Kira Bunse, Nicole Maria Winkler, Piotr Niepsuj, Rosie Harriet Ellis, and Sam Penn, the beautiful images reflect the different viewpoints of those behind the lens. Shot over the course of eight days last February, each individual lent their respective style to their shots but combined to provide a cohesive vision that highlighted the textures and silhouettes that make up the collection. In addition to the ads, the brand will be releasing a zine that’ll document the process and inspiration behind the effort.

Meet Rimowa’s Sleek New Additions to Their Lineup

While you might associate Rimowa with their luggage lineup, the brand also has a pretty impressive array of leather bags too. The latest additions to their Never Still collection are designed for life on the go. From compact cross-body bags and backpacks to spacious duffles and a sleek zipped tote, these pieces combine Rimowa’s signature grooved design with practical details. The launch is accompanied by a campaign shot across Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Shanghai by Dana Lixenberg, Daniel Arnold and Feng Li, capturing the beauty of the daily commute. Alongside the new bags, the brand is also introducing Anthracite and Mocha colorways, while Anthracite also joins the leather suitcase collection.
