Louis Vuitton’s fancy cars, Burberry heads to the Hamptons, and more.
Summer’s not quite over yet, even as August is at its halfway point. For Burberry that means the brand is popping up in the Hamptons, returning to Topping Rose House for the weekend and offering an array of warm weather friendly pieces while Louis Vuitton takes on the spirit of the road trip with the ultimate vintage Porsche 911, reimagined with the brand’s signature details. Meanwhile some shopping news as cult favorite South Korean eyewear label Blue Elephant is making its way stateside, as the brand officially opened their first American boutique in Beverly Hills. Should you want to continue shopping in that area, make it a point to check out the newly reopened Ferragamo boutique nearby. And for those who feel like a mental escape instead of retail therapy, Dior’s newest video for Miss Dior is a delightful animated romp that feels straight out of a Studio Ghibli fantasy.
Read on to learn more and catch up on what else you might have missed.
Louis Vuitton and Singer Reinvent The 911 Porsche
Car fans take note: Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Singer, a California-based atelier known for restoring and personalizing traditional Porsche 911s, to create two special automobiles. The first, designed by Singer, is in Vuitton’s infamous colors – saffron, blue, and yellow. The second, the Turbo, was designed by the house’s artistic director, Nicolas Ghesquière, and is sleek white with wooden trim. Both feature unique details with the showstopper being a special detachable timepiece found on the dashboard that can be turned into a desk clock, derived from the Tambour watch. Everything has been thought out in detail, from the racing jacket to the car keys, all donning an LV x Singer logo. The collaboration is inspired by the brand’s long-standing history of creating travel-ready items and is seen as a form of transportation, made for special journeys. And wow, what a journey it’d be in one of these.
A Delightfully English Pop Up Out East
Burberry is bringing a taste of the British countryside to the Hamptons, returning to Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton for a summer pop-up and fun experiences this weekend. Set within the historic estate, the boutique offers a curated selection of womenswear, menswear and childrenswear, alongside unique pieces from the fall 2026 runway and custom Hamptons-inspired trench coats and cashmere scarves. Outside, the hotel is transformed in Burberry’s signature check pattern, reimagined in a summery yellow, with bespoke touches from cocktails to Dreamy Coffee Co and other local favorites.
Ugo Bienvenu Reimagines Miss Dior
Talk about art celebrating art! For the first time in the fragrance’s history, Miss Dior becomes the heroine of her own animated film, written and directed by Arco filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu and created with French studio Remembers. Reminiscent of Japanese anime, especially Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service, it’s a sweet and nostalgic delight to watch. Guided by a playful bee, the heroine races through a dreamlike retelling of the perfume’s origins, moving from Monsieur Dior’s house in Grasse to the revolutionary 1947 New Look show in Paris. Made using intricate techniques rare in today’s fast-paced creative industry, the short video highlights Dior’s commitment to preserving craft all around, be it in couture, fragrance or animation. It’s that meticulous attention to detail that brings Miss Dior’s fantasy to life so vividly, we can practically smell the fragrance through the screen. If this is the world promised, can we live there?
Chanel and MoMA Will Honor a True Hollywood Legend This Fall
The Museum of Modern Art will be celebrating one of the most influential figures in cinema this November, naming director and producer Steven Spielberg as the honoree of their 2026 Film Benefit, presented by Chanel. Taking place on November 12th, MoMa will recognize Spielberg’s five-decade career, from Jaws and E.T to Schindler’s List, West Side Story and his latest film, Disclosure Day. With eight of his films already held in its collection, the tribute will also include a special screening series celebrating his contribution to film history.
A New York Minute With COS
Following a jaunt to Seoul earlier this spring, COS makes a return to New York City just in time for New York Fashion Week. As a sneak preview of what the see now buy collection has to offer, the brand released their fall 2026 campaign and naturally it’s full of crisp suiting, rich textures, and sleek silhouettes. Shot by Mark Kean in NYC, the images star actor and COS ambassador Park Gyuyoung alongside supermodel Awar Odhiang, joined by familiar faces like Leon Dame and Malick Bodian. A monochromatic palette of black and white is broken up with splashes of purple, while cashmere, wool, leather and suede all add warmth to the relaxed tailoring, pinstripes and floral embroidery. The full lineup will be released during September 13th, so keep an eye out.
Ferragamo Reopens in Beverly Hills
Just in time for fall shopping, Ferragamo has reopened its Rodeo Drive flagship store in Beverly Hills, unveiling a new space that brings Florentine heritage into a contemporary setting. Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, the boutique combines Chambolle stone and rich red marble, creating the feel of a modern Italian home across dedicated spaces for ready-to-wear, handbags, footwear and accessories. This reopening also marks a significant moment in Ferragamo’s history, honoring their long-standing connection to Beverly Hills and Salvatore Ferragamo’s legacy as Hollywood’s celebrated shoemaker.
Sabyasachi Finds Inspiration at The Met
Indian couturier Sabyasachi is turning centuries of art history into high jewelry and bringing Byzantium back in style. For the first chapter of a landmark multi-year collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the brand has translated the splendor of the Byzantine Empire into a new collection, drawing on everything from imperial medallions and ancient stonework to religious iconography and architectural ornaments. Each piece is conceived, developed, and handcrafted in India by Sabayasachi’s network of artisans. The collaboration places fashion and art in genuine conversation, transforming history into contemporary treasures without losing sight of the craftsmanship that first gave them meaning. The collection will make its grand entrance during New York Fashion Week, with a runway presentation on September 15.
Michael Kors
It’s fun, it’s fabulous, it’s Micheal Kors! Celebrating 45 years in business, the designer has assembled a suitably theatrical cast for his fall 2026 campaign: Misty Copeland, Sutton Foster, Judith Light, Audra McDonald, Lea Michele, and Kara Young. Photographed in graphic black and white by Inez and Vinoodh and styled by Carlos Nazario, the six performers bring some serious stage presence to a collection designed for making an entrance. Fluid draping, razor-sharp tailoring, feathered embellishments and statement outerwear deliver big-city glamour with the volume turned all the way up. It truly is a collection to command a room in and we need more of it.
Blue Elephant is Finally in the U.S.
Speaking of new arrivals to Los Angeles, the cool South Korean eyewear brand Blue Elephant has expanded stateside. Beloved in Korean and Japan for their of-the-moment frames at accessible prices and immersive store design, it’s become a must for shoppers on vacation in Seoul or Tokyo. Well, now they don’t have to go quite as far courtesy of the brand’s new location in Beverly Hills. Located at 300 N. Beverly Drive, the nearly 7000 square foot space reflects a philosophy of integrating architecture and cultural identity of each location rather than uniform design. As such the building keeps the 1940s bowstring truss roof while inside features all of the eye-catching installations that have become a signature, naturally Los Angeles themed. You’ll find all of their sunglasses and eye glasses as well as ten exclusive styles to the location. The store is open now.
The Plot Thickens at Marc Jacobs
And…action! Fashion’s mini-drama obsession continues with The Swap, Marc Jacobs’ latest campaign starring Rowan Blanchard and Jemima Kirke. Picking up after the brand’s runway show, the story follows the pair as one very important mix-up leaves each carrying the other’s Scene Bag — and, naturally, snooping through its contents. What follows is part stunt, part character study, with a cameo by Jeremy O. Harris and the bag as the main character. It’s a clever bit of world-building that makes this launch worth tuning in for. Afterall, it’s Marc’s world; we’re just living in it while waiting for the next episode.
