Tiffany & Co. Kicks Off the Holiday Party Season
Thanksgiving might be two weeks away but Tiffany & Co. has declared that the holiday season has officially started. Earlier this week they hosted a party to celebrate the season which included the lighting of their Bird on a Rock installation. Located on their New York City flagship’s 8th floor terrace, the iconic design is in good company — right outside is the Fifth Avenue snowflake, lit in Tiffany Blue for the occasion. To add to the festive spirit, you’ll find decked out windows, sparkling Christmas trees, and oversized Blue Boxes scattered throughout the space. Brand ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy, clad in a white Dilara Findikoglu corset dress and accessorized with the brand’s jewelry, helped ring in the evening alongside a performance by Audrey McGraw. Also in attendance? Everyone’s favorite White Lotus siblings Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola as well as artist Anna Weynant and models Imaan Hamman and Aweng Ade-Chuol to name a few.
Chanel Looks Ahead to Warmer Weather
Get your sunscreen ready, as the Chanel cruise 26 ad campaign is giving winter escape vibes. Taking place on a sunlit Lake Como, where the show was staged back at the end of April, the images were captured by Mario Sorrenti. Set against the magnificent Villa d’Este, models Alix Bouthors, Ida Heiner, and Xu Wei showcase a collection that reimagines summer sophistication from ecru tweed coats with sailor collars, to sun-drenched yellow denim and fluid silk ensembles. Looking for some vacation wear? The pieces are in stores now.
Meet the Latest Crop of Louis Vuitton Bags
Speaking of cruise collections, Louis Vuitton’s cruise 2026 handbags are now in store. You’ll find the Alma Trunk, which reimagines the brand’s travel heritage courtesy the juxtaposition of classic monogram canvas against golden metal edges. For those who prefer something slouchy, the Multipass will be more your speed. With its hobo shape, it’ll tuck under the arm and offer ample room for your daily essentials. To round out the trio is a new colorway of the Express, which was first introduced as a part of the fall 2025 runway show. Now available in burgundy, the soft carryall is trimmed with monogram accents and feels like the perfect seasonal accessory. Shop them here.
The Apple x Issey Miyake Collaboration Was Meant to Be
When it comes to choosing brands to collaborate with, Apple is extremely selective. Up until this week, the only fashion brand the tech giant has worked with is Hermès. Well, now add Issey Miyake to the list. It’s not a surprise if you know the backstory: Steve Jobs’ famous uniform of black turtlenecks is by the brand. Plus, the two share a similar approach to design where form meets function. That’s evident in their co-designed product, the iPhone Pocket by Issey Miyake. A clever riff on the concept of “a piece of cloth”, the 3D-knitted design is the ideal size to stash your phone, AirPods, and other little items. With two strap lengths, the shorter comes in eight shades (lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black) while the longer option is available in sapphire, cinnamon, and black. As for the styling options, they’re endless be it attached to your bag as a charm, worn as a belt, slung crossbody, or even as a scarf, as seen on some intrepid fans. Whatever it may be, they’ll be the ideal companion to the new colorways of the iPhone Air, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro. Naturally, it’s limited in quantity so your best chances will be at their Soho location, the only store in the U.S. to carry the partnership.
Givenchy’s New Ads Return to Sarah Burton’s Muses
After releasing a set of portraits for her debut Givenchy ads, Sarah Burton returns to the concept for spring 2026. Called Friends and Muses: The Portrait Series II, the photos capture the bond between creativity and friendship. Photographed by Collier Schorr, the cast includes actor Rooney Mara and musician-artist Paul Simonon — two icons united by art. With styling by Camilla Nickerson and creative direction by Burton herself, the campaign brings elegance and edge into a black-and-white world, serving as a tribute to the muses who inspire and shape the brand’s vision.
Miu Miu Heads to the British Countryside For the Holidays
What could be cozier than sitting fireside in an Elizabethan manor house in the British countryside? That’s the setting for Miu Miu’s 2025 campaign. Starring the likes of Gigi Hadid, Dede Mansro, Viola Sharp, and Ju Xiaowen, photographer Angela Hill captures the cast on a Super 8 camera as well as film, lending a tinge of nostalgia to imagery. Clad in the season’s festive best, you’ll find crumpled and embroidered duchesse satins, patchworked shearling, glitter and sequin knits, and lingerie-inspired designs. Girlish and fresh, they serve as a counterpoint to the bricks and scarred stones that make up the home — a very Miu Miu way of finding beauty in the contrasts.
A 2010 McQueen Favorite is Back
Few collections have stuck in fashion fans’ collective memories quite like McQueen’s spring summer 2010 runway show. Plato’s Atlantis, one of the first to be livestreamed on a website, has remained the stuff of legends. And now, one of the bags from that presentation is making a comeback, albeit with some 2025 tweaks. The De Manta, known for its soft sculpted leather with angular folded edges is back as The Manta. Available as a classic bag, clutch, backpack, or in an oversized silhouette, they retain all of the subversive energy of the original. And for those seeking a special iteration there’s also The Manta OTT, with only 20 editions produced worldwide. Kitted out with the brand’s iconic skull scarf as well as playful charms, it’s a maximalists’ dream. Browse the selection here.
