Somehow, Chinese New Year can oddly feel like your Annual General Meeting. You show up and catch up on what’s been going on in the past year to relatives you barely speak to. Besides that, a part of you also feels the need to dress to impress all of them at the table. Though gatherings are limited this New Year, you still have the opportunity to wear that stunning outfit you’ve been thinking about to your reunion gatherings and parties.
Luxury fashion brands have started to roll out their collections in lieu of the festivities and if you’re still unsure of what to rock this CNY, fret not. We’ve done the legwork and rounded up the latest New Year collections inspired by the Year of the Ox that you can wear for this year’s festivities.
In the spirit of the Year of the Ox, Givenchy presents a selection of pieces bearing the likeness of an Ox. Here, you’ll find a range of different pieces to choose from including a cosy, warm scarf that boasts a mix of wool and cashmere-blend knit with a precious synthetic fleece inlay. Other pieces from the collection will also see casual items including a long-sleeved t-shirt reinterpreted for the New Year. The oversized Moncler logo is emblazoned on the front with an embroidered Ox motif that’s sure to get the conversation going at your gatherings.
The full collection is now available in stores at moncler. Check out the full range here.
It probably won’t surprise you to hear that we are staunchly Team Treat Yo’self. And if you’re looking for a new handbag to match your outfit this Chinese New Year, then you’re in for a real treat. Celine just launched their latest collection for the Lunar New Year and it’s nothing short of amazing. The common thread of this capsule is the iconic red, combined for the occasion with sophisticated pink shades, complemented with the flowers from the Chinese tradition.
Within the range, pieces like the iconic Baguette bag is seen in a Nano version that comes along with a flap and FF fastening with a magnetic clasp. What stands out the most about it, is the multicolour floral print that can also be seen across the other products in the collection. On top of that, from the Peekaboo family, the signature Peekaboo Iconic Mini will also arrive in cardinal red — apt for the occasion — that’s made with soft calfskin leather and embellished with the classic twist lock on both sides.
The women’s collection will be available at the Fendi boutique store at MBS from 14th Jan onwards.
Need more options for your bag collection? Fret not. Celine is bringing up their A-game just in time for the New Year festivities with their lineup of bags. Firstly, the brand’s Triomphe Embroidery is updated in contrasting vintage pink shade. Similarly across the collection, take note of the Medium Triomphe Bag and Celine’s Tambour and the ever-so-popular Boston Bag which now arrives in a new mini size.
To top it all off, Celine will also be offering an exclusive range of festive necklace, earrings and hairpin for the Lunar New Year.
The Lunar New Year collection is now available at all Celine boutiques and online at celine.com. Check out the full range here.
Inspired by the Year of the Ox, in the women’s collection, the year’s totem animal appears on a gold charm on zip details adorning essentials including the black sleeveless jacket, cigarette trousers, and A-line skirt and a ribbed sweater. On the other hand, the collection extends with a range that caters to those who prefer a more relaxed fit. Expect a black denim dress and shorts embellished with an ox in crystal and gold bead embroidery as well as other casual silhouettes including a black T-shirt, oversized black denim jacket and a hoodie.

Bright and playful pieces can instantly induce a pop of colour to any dull outfit. But if you truly want to steal the spotlight this Chinese New Year, arm yourself with a statement-worthy looking piece like The Shell bag by Bottega Veneta.
It seems that these structured pieces are in vogue as of late — but we’re not complaining. In fact, we love how the cutout shoulder bag comes with a paper nylon drawstring pouch that’s roomy and big enough to fit all your essentials, including your angbaos!

Highlighting the collection in classic Burberry check, the latest range by Burberry sees a lineup of heritage Burberry trench coats, sports-influenced pieces and more importantly, a new colourway of the iconic Olympia bag. But it doesn’t end there. As part of their launch, fans will also be treated to a limited-edition Thomas Burberry Monogram motif, inspired by the Chinese zodiac and animated with an original illustration in honour of the Year of the Ox.
