Who else but Tiffany & Co. to give us a sense of glamour and whimsy with the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy romping around a snowy New York City? For an even more fantastical take on the season, Marc Jacobs is teaming up with the Wizard of Oz while Miu Miu goes for an irreverent take on the sense of wonder we all feel this time of year. And speaking of snow, even more ski capsules from the likes of Fendi and Louis Vuitton, destined to keep those heading to the slopes this season warm and cozy.
Read on to learn more and catch up on what else you might have missed.
LOUIS VUITTON TAKES TO THE SLOPES
Louis Vuitton is hitting the slopes this winter and giving ski season a facelift with its LV Ski 2024 collection. Featuring technical sportswear, après-ski cozies, everyday ensembles and a surplus of monogram accessories – not to mention the shearling-meets-suede bags – the capsule sees a reprise of the label’s Mirror Silver colourway – which washes itself over cross-bodies and tote bags alike. Meanwhile all-weather nylon gilets with quilted topstitching pay tribute to Louis Vuitton’s Malletage trunk design and cashmere knits are paired with sports leggings and knee-high shearling boots. Hit the slopes Louis Vuitton’s frosty and festive seasonal fashions.
Fendi’s Ready For a Snowy Escape
Speaking of skiwear, should you prefer some Italian Alps flair in your winter wardrobe, Fendi also has released their collection of snow-ready pieces. For the elegant ski bunny that loves a retro-infused vibe, this line marries classic style with coziness, making it ideal perfect for future snowy escapes. From 60s-inspired ski suits to FF-branded boots, hats, and mittens, the collection is equal parts stylish and functional. Whether you prefer color-blocked jackets with matching pants that’ll shield against the wind or if your vibe is more hang by the fire with some furry boots and a hot toddy, you’ll find it all here.
The Holidays For Miu Miu Are Filled WIth Irreverent Wonder
Holiday campaigns are in full swing, and the latest brand to drop their images is Miu Miu. Featuring actress Emma Corrin and shot by Lengua, the theme is Irreverent Wonder. Inspired by antiquarian festive portrait postcards, Corrin sits on a sofa or armchair, surrounded by walls and floors covered in pale silk. Clad in an array of cozy as well as sparkly, festive looks accented with slippers and moccasins, the brand offers a modern spin on seasonal dressing. Also mixed in are pieces from the 2024 Upcycled collection, which utilizes deadstock to create one-of-a-kind designs as well as all of Miu Miu’s signature bags like the Arcadie, Aventure, Penny, and more.
A Very New York Christmas
Spend the holidays in New York City and you’ll know the best place to begin your festive walk is at the Tiffany & Co. flagship before meandering your way down Fifth Avenue to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. So of course, the brand’s holiday campaign is naturally dedicated to NYC. Starring brand ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy, the actress wanders around a snow-filled city and is a nostalgic romp down memory lane. Featuring a film and still images directed by Jonas Lindstroem as well as vignettes photographed by Carljin Jacobs, you’ll find Taylor-Joy clad in an iconic little black dress coupled with HardWear designs with her final stop being the Landmark’s festively decorated windows.
Marc Jacobs Goes to Oz
Are you excited for Wicked this Thanksgiving? If so, you’ll love Marc Jacobs’ holiday collection, which includes a special collaboration with the Wizard of Oz. From a pair of ruby-red Kiki Mary Janes to accessories featuring scenes with Dorothy and friends, it’s a whimsical nod to everyone’s favorite movie. To accompany, what better than a winter wonderland campaign that includes the brand’s best sellers like The Tote Bag and The Snapshot alongside new pieces such as The Beauty Bag and The Clover Bag. In new colorways and patterns like cheetah and star, they’re playful and cheery — the exact energy one wants this time of year.
Valentino Launches Two New Bags
Alessandro Michele has been a busy man since he took over at Valentino. After dropping a 171 look resort collection a mere two months into the job, he followed up with arguably one of the most anticipated shows of Paris Fashion Week. And now, we’re finally seeing some of his pieces hit stores. Earlier this month the brand launched two bags from Michele’s debut, the Valentino Garavani 9to5 and the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar. The former, like its name implies, is an all-day style and is available in a variety of materials from semi-glossy leather to suede to precious skins. The latter draws inspiration from the 1970s, with a retro feel courtesy of its color combinations and oversized logo. Both are in stores now.
Ganni and Barbour Make the Jacket of the Season
If you’ve spent any time on social media, you’ll notice that field jackets have become a big fall trend and no one does one better than Barbour. The British brand, along with everyone’s favorite Scandi cool girl label Ganni are back with their third collaboration, out this week. Featuring nine new jackets, you’ll find classic designs like a waxed anorak or patchwork trench as well as quirkier options like a leopard print cropped style. Shop them here.
Lacoste’s New City Ready Sneakers
If you want to elevate your sneaker game this season, consider Lacoste’s newest drop: The L003 Neo Tech. With a chunky silhouette that is equal parts comfort and style, the kicks are designed for running around on busy days as well as enjoying the outdoors. A winterized rubber outsole includes spikes for stability, making it functional should you decide to go on a casual hike. More of a city person? The modern design looks equally as home in the city. Available in two colorways, you can opt for a green camo option that feels very gorpcore or choose a crisp white design that nods to the brands’ tennis roots.
Dior Opens a Beauty Boutique in New York
Looking for a new perfume this fall or perhaps a refill on your favorite mascara? Head down to Soho, as Dior has opened its first standalone fragrance and beauty boutique. Located at 109 Greene Street, the glittering space sits next to the brand’s women’s and men’s stores. Upon entry you’ll notice a display table filled with a select assortment of La Collection Privée Dior fragrances, in addition to skincare and makeup looks for the season. Fragrance fans make it a point to check out a special Haute Perfumerie experience designed by Francis Kurkdjian, Dior’s Perfume Creation Director. Signature scents like Miss Dior, J’adore, and S’auvage are meant to evoke a sensory vault and will be accompanied with a selection of pieces. Should makeup be more your speed, the boutique will also carry Rouge Premier, the first haute couture lipstick as envisioned by Peter Phillips, the brand’s Creative and Image Director. And for those who prefer to shop discreetly, the boutique also offers a private area where clients can receive assistance on everything from gifts to custom items.
Loretta Caponi and Carlos Mota Team Up on Luxurious Linens
A European summer vacation might be but a distant memory but you can bring a bit of that Italian glamour to your home, courtesy of the latest collaboration between Loretta Caponi and interior designer Carlos Mota. The two work on a trio of collections that were inspired by art and nature and you’ll find a mix of embroidered bed linens, placemats, napkins, towels, and tablecloths. The first line, called the Mobile, features gold tones that sweep across the fabric, mimicking art and movement while the second series draws from the landscapes and still lives of the Dutch Old Masters, with little bees, butterflies, flowers, and fruits. And finally, Lucky Us uses the Loretta Caponi logo, the clover, and riffs on its use as a symbol of luck and joy. Shop it here.
