Loewe’s NYC pop-ups, Louis Vuitton goes to the dogs, and more.
It might be frigid in New York City at the moment but that chilly air only means that the festive atmosphere feels ever more so. Good timing as Loewe is popping up both at the heart of Rockefeller Center, with their fragrance shop, as well as downtown at Fouquet’s where they’re taking over Titsou Bar. Speaking of chilly air, Saint Laurent is throwing themselves into the skiwear conversation, launching Rive Droite Snow Edition which features both on-and-off the slope pieces. Should all this talk of cold weather be too much, take a look at Casablanca’s resort collection. Set in L.A. and starring Iris Law, you can practically feel the warm air on your face.
Read on to learn more and catch up on what else you might have missed.
Loewe Pops Up For the Holidays in New York City
Despite the grousings of locals, NYC is a magical time during the holidays. Uptown, the shop windows along Fifth Avenue are decorated to the teeth while the crown jewel arguably is the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree, covered in glittering lights. Should you be nearby, soaking in the festive cheer, make it a point to stop by Loewe Perfumes pop-up, located a mere steps away, at 1 Rockefeller Plaza. The intimate space features an installation from Molo Design which uses recycled materials to create a botanical manuscript-inspired cellular honeycomb structure. With a full selection of their scents, you can also find a special capsule collection consisting of Sweet Almond, Earl Grey, and Black Sesame candles.
Prefer to stay downtown? Loewe is also taking over the Titsou Bar at Fouquet’s in honor of their holiday collection that draws inspiration from British artist Louis Wain. Known for his quirky depictions of cats, the series of bags, small leather goods, accessories and ready-to-wear all feature the whimsical designs. Guests will enjoy a space that has playful touches that nod to this collaboration in addition to custom cocktails and a shopping vitrine that allows them to explore unique Loewe pieces. And should they want to purchase something that catches their eye? Well, the boutique is but a short walk away.
Bottega For Bottegas Returns
Every holiday season Bottega Veneta releases Bottega for Bottegas, an initiative that spotlights artisans from across the globe. This year, they tapped craftspeople from Venice, New York, and Milan – three cities central to the brand’s heritage. The curated collection features silverplate glasses by Milan’s Ganci Argenterie, sterling silver cocktail sticks by New York silversmith Heath Wagoner, and a handbound Venetian notebook by Paolo Olbi. Launched in 2021, the program has grown into an annual tribute that echoes Bottega Veneta’s own roots, from their Venetian inspirations to their Milanese home.
Louis Vuitton Goes to the Dogs
Pharrell Williams is a dog person and you only need to look at his tenure at Louis Vuitton as proof. After multiple campaigns featuring adorable canine companions as well as the introduction of a formal Louis Vuitton Dogs’ Collection in October 2024, the brand is back with their latest iteration. The line elevates everyday pet essentials: collars, leashes, harnesses, and travel carriers, with a callback to house signatures dating back to the Maison’s first Monogram dog kennel in 1913. Highlights include a whimsical LV Lovers Dog Beret, monogrammed bone-shaped trunks, hands-free crossbody leashes, and personalised accessories tailored through Louis Vuitton’s hot-stamping service. Dropping in limited releases, the collection brings couture to pets and their owners alike.
Saint Laurent in Venturing Into Skiwear
Fans of Saint Laurent seeking designer ski and après-skiwear rejoice: the brand has just released “Rive Droite Snow Edition”, a capsule collection made for the slopes. Photographed by Henrik Purienne, it includes ready-to-wear items for men and women that are perfect for the months ahead. Among the pieces you’ll find functional pants and jackets meant to endure the elements as well as a collaboration with ZAI, a company known for their gear. The ZAI skis focus on speed and control, promising smooth gliding down the snowy mountain. Also in the mix are a black wooden sledge, Eretic snowscoot, and black Salomon helmets. The collection will be available in select Saint Laurent stores in Paris, LA, Toronto, and St. Moritz, and others, as well as online.
Calvin Klein Opens Their NYC Flagship
One of most recognizable landmarks in SoHo would have to be the Calvin Klein billboard looming over Houston Street. So consider the opening of their new flagship, a mere steps away, to be a homecoming of sorts. Located at 530 Broadway, the 3,000-square-foot space blends the brand’s signature minimalism with the warmth of a downtown loft, creating a modern backdrop for their iconic denim, underwear, and lifestyle collections. The latest addition marks a milestone in the brand’s global expansion as it follows recent openings in Paris and Tokyo. As a bonus customers can also find an exclusive limited-edition SoHo capsule, celebrating the new store with bold, locally inspired designs.
Roberto Menichetti Begins a New Era at Turnbull & Asser
Founded in 1885, Turnbull & Asser is best known for their tailoring, especially their crisp shirting. With a Royal Warrant and having dressed the likes of Winston Churchill, Pablo Picasso, and more, they’ve established themselves as the go-to for generations of legendary men. Well, the brand is about to enter a new era as they’ve tapped Roberto Menichetti as their new creative director. Menichetti, an Italian designer who cut his teeth at the likes of Burberry and Jil Sander, comes at an interesting time as the brand looks to expand its impact globally. His fresh eye allows the historic label to develop new designs across tailoring and accessories, while staying true to their roots on Jemyn Street. Menichetti is looking forward to getting started, as he states, “Turnbull & Asser represents more than a brand; it’s a living expression of British style and elegance, carefully built over generations.”
A Collaboration For Outdoorsy Lovers
Barbour and Noah are joining forces this season for a capsule that celebrates the shared heritage of the East Coast of America and North East England, bridging two cultures shaped by weather, work, and the great outdoors. Inspired by Brendon Babenzien’s fascination with mid-century outdoor life, the collection blends Scottish tweed, European wool, and American canvas into pieces that feel equally at home on either side of the Atlantic. Plaids, rugged textures, and time-tested fabrics anchor pieces like the vivid Red Wading wool style, the thornproof Lovat Tweed Wading, and the workwear-rooted Cotton Canvas Bedale.
Casablanca Taps Iris Law
While Casablanca may call Paris home, their spirit feels very L.A., especially with their new U.S. flagship on Santa Monica boulevard. It’s fitting then that resort 2026 finds themselves in said city, drawing inspiration from a place that has long influenced creative director Charaf Tajer. The images, shot at the Sheats-Goldstein Residence, embrace an unexpectedly moody atmosphere with photographer Corentin Leroux using the rain-soaked light to create a cinematic tone. Fronted by Iris Law, you’ll see a quiet, intimate vision of LA living as she drifts through everyday moments framed by Beverly Hills. Pastels, monograms, and silk prints define the collection which is now available online and at select global boutiques.
An Installation For Film Lovers
Call this a match made in curator heaven as Criterion and Dover Street Market are coming together this weekend to host installations at both their New York and Los Angeles collections. Guests can check out some of Criterion’s most famous films as well as related merchandise. Among the selection are collector sets like The Complete Films of Agnes Varda, World of Wong Kar Wai, and Essential Fellini as well as single editions of Eyes Wide Shut, Breathless, Grey Gardens, and Mulholland Dr. to name a few. Should you not be nearby, the product is available the entire month of December, making it the perfect present for the movie buff in your life.
Ginori 1735 Celebrates the Holiday Season
Right in time for the holiday season, luxury tableware house Ginori 1735 hosted a celebratory brunch at Cafe Ginori, inside Bergdorf Goodman, with a custom menu created by chef and author Andy Baraghani. The piece de resistance was the traditional Italian Pannettone, reinterpreted by the Baraghani and served on tables adorned with Goniri’s Oriente Italiano collection. Available in festive hues of Meringa, Castagna, Rubrum and Aurum the colorful display was perfect to serve festive treats. This exclusive breakfast also marked Ginori 1735’s three piece campaign “The New Table Manners”, exploring etiquette and how to playfully reimagine table manners into personal expression.
