Prada’s Latest Re-Nylon Collection is Here
Earlier this year Prada released four short films shot in conjunction with National Geographic CreativeWorks and starring the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Sadie Sink. The series explores the origins of Prada Re-Nylon, regenerating plastic waste while showcasing the beauty of marine ecosystems in Norway and Mexico. And now comes the release of Prada’s 2025 Re-Nylon Collection. Made with recycled ocean waste, the pieces range from ready-to-wear like jackets and shirting to accessories including the brand’s signature bags and bucket hats. A portion of proceeds goes to Prada Group’s SEA BEYOND initiative which promotes ocean literacy and preservation. Shop it here.
Louis Vuitton is in Full Bloom

Now the brand has expanded with 27 new variations from sautoirs to pendants to earrings, rings, and bracelets. Designed to be mixed and matched, create your own custom stack of blooms that are guaranteed to never wilt.
Loewe Creates a Custom Hennessy Paradis Vessel
Jonathan Anderson might be bidding Loewe goodbye but before he does, you can still get your hands on his surreal designs. One unexpected item that you might find of interest? Cognac, luxury, and fashion come together as the brand teamed up with Hennessy on an objet d’art for its Paradis blend. Inspired by the chestnut burr, each custom leather encasement requires 10 hours worth of work by Loewe’s artisans. Both aesthetic and functional, it’s intended to protect the bottle but also mirrors the chestnut wood circles used to keep barrels safe during the aging process. It’s a fitting nod given that the Paradis spends quite a bit time in one, giving the liquid its signature amber gold color as well as its smooth, strong, yet silk texture. The collaboration comes in three different colors deriving from the chestnut’s lifecycle: anise, amber, and chestnut. Available now, the set includes Hennessy’s first three liter Paradis decanter, a leather belt, a neck clip, two glasses, and a pipette.
The Lady Dior Gets a Gleaming New Addition
Three years ago Dior’s iconic 30 Montaigne location underwent a massive renovation to become the boutique meets restaurant meets museum space that it is today. In honor of this anniversary comes a new addition to the brand’s Lady Dior lineup courtesy of British artist Penny Slinger. Slinger’s work might be familiar to fans as she worked with Maria Grazia Chiuri to create a gleaming golden version of the 30 Montaigne townhouse that served as the finale look for the fall 2019 haute couture runway show. Now she’s back with a different building-inspired design, this time as a silver Lady Dior bag. Meant to evoke the architecture of the iconic façade, it’s a unique piece of history for fans of the silhouette.
Diesel’s Full House
Fans of reality tv are going to love Diesel’s new campaign, The Houseguests. The images take its inspiration from a 1994 shoot that the brand staged featuring a cast of characters placed in a living room shot. Shot from a bird’s eye view, it’s certainly a residence that’s full of surprises and reminiscent of the early years of The Real World. For the 2025 version shot by Frank Le Bon, the residents might be all different ages, races, genders, and body types but the situations they find themselves in are no less absurdist. From someone driving a car through the living room while others stand by in motorcycle jackets, unphased, to a kitchen turned leg waxing station to a communal bathroom, it’s all delightfully wacky.
The Newest Omega Watch is Made For Adventurers
Given that Omega is the watch of choice for astronauts, athletes, and James Bond, it’s no surprise that every new design is meant to perfectly balance performance and style. The brand’s latest, the Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer, is no different. Designed as a fusion of mechanical craftsmanship and bold aesthetics, you’ll find it in two 45.5mm models. Building on its popularity in the Aqua Terra range, the Worldtimer debuts in black ceramic with laser-ablated detailing and a map of the North Pole. Available with turquoise or grey accents, each model tracks global time zones with the power of the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8938. With water resistance up to 600 meters, this watch is perfect for oceanic adventurers and globetrotters alike.
Loro Piana Heads to Venice For Resort 2025

Are You a Balenciaga Archetype?
For Balenciaga’s summer 2025 Campaign, shot by photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, the brand reinterprets classic Hollywood costume tests through striking portraits and videos. Set against a monochrome backdrop, the cast embody archetypes like The Femme Fatale, The Artist, and The Girl Next Door, with voiceovers narrating their traits and outfits in a vintage screen-test style.

Moncler Stages a Snowy Runway Show in Courchevel
Should you be more of a winter person, you’ll have plenty to look forward to come November. Moncler Grenoble staged their fall/winter 2025 show at Courchevel Airport, the highest airport in all of Europe. As snow fell dramatically, attendees that included the likes of Anne Hathaway, Adrian Brody, Jessica Chastain, and more gamely pulled puffy white capes over their outfits. Not only did the layer protect them against the elements but also created a striking visual across the U-shaped runway. With a live orchestra serving as the soundtrack, the 140 look collection married slope style with city sensibilities. You’ll find denim and canvas that nod to workwear as well as wool in pied de poule patterns that are usually seen in formalwear and even tactical bouclé. Ski suits and shells are among the mix but so are après-friendly pieces like chunky knitwear and tweed-like two-piece sets. And of course for those who love a furry layer comes natural and synthetic shearling coats, collars, cuffs, and handbags. To round it out, what else but a snowboard made in conjunction with Shaun White’s WHITESPACE, a special piece for those who really want to make a statement coming down the mountain.
Jewelry That Goes Beyond the Cubicle
Blame it on Severance, the return to a normal five-day workweek, or the office siren microtrend, but corporate life is back with a vengeance. And while the thought of business casual might make your hair stand on edge, here’s one jewelry collection that takes some liberties with the notion of professional dressing. Zoë Kravitz stars in Jessica McCormack’s Rush Hour ad campaign, an ode to bold, poised shapes that aren’t exactly a part of your standard office dress code. Made from white or yellow gold and accented with pearls and diamonds, these pieces are intended to be the power suits of your accessory lineup. Inspired by shape and movement, from the yellow gold earrings to a diamond bangle, they appear as extensions of one’s body. McCormack has a love of Georgian design techniques which can be seen in the scaled rings made from white gold while the Triple Embrace rings get a smattering of diamonds. And finally the most eye-catching of the bunch are the Torque necklaces including the Curve Diamond Torque which includes an 8.1 carat diamond set on the collarbone. Talk about a statement.
