We can totally picture fashion icon G-Dragon in Chanel’s latest oversized sunglasses — and he’d wear them well. The new collection leans into bold, graphic shapes with structured squares, elongated rectangles, and sleek aviators, all defined by clean lines and striking volume. It’s eyewear stripped down to pure elegance — not just an accessory, but a signature. As with every Chanel eyewear, it does not conceal a personality, but reveals it. 

Casetify teams up with Takashi Murakami for the second time, spotlighting Murakami’s beloved twin characters Kaikai and Kiki. This adorable collection introduces a playful lineup of collectibles, accessories, and tech gear, including ultra-limited phone charms, trading card holders and a new pink camera ring. This collaboration also marks the debut of Casetify’s 29” Travel Bounce Trunk.

A necklace so versatile it can be worn as a brooch and belt? Take my money now. That’s just one of the many unique and versatile pieces from 50-year-old Singaporean brand, Risis. The brand has not just won the hearts of many with its distinctive orchid designs, but with an interesting back story as well. In 1974, Dr Lee Kum Tatt —then chairman of SISIR (Singapore Institute of Standards and Industrial Research)—had succeeded in preserving an Oncidium bloom in gold. He named it Oncidium Engeline Lee after his wife and it later became the prototype for Risis (its name is a reverse of SISIR). For the first time, Risis lands in Paris for a month-long pop-up at L’iÎot 7 in Paris’ vibrant Le Marais district till 6 July. At the pop-up, the brand also unveiled its versatile jewellery collection including that iconic Slider Necklace and Body Chain, designed to be worn in six unique ways.

Celine’s new summer 2025 Ete collection was all about the allure of Saint-Tropez and the South of France. We can imagine the iconic Brigitte Bardot in the brand’s gingham Vichy jersey bikini and a Triomphe hat in woven raffia.

You can always trust Balenciaga’s former creative director Demna for unexpected collaborations. Remember Crocs and Under Armour? Debuting in the Fall 25 collection, Balenciaga teamed up with 121-year-old American brand Scholl — a collaboration born from Demna’s desire to create the most comfortable heels ever made, infusing the House’s footwear silhouettes with the unparalleled comfort of Scholl products. The collection features heeled mules, booties and boots, as well as flat sandals and mules in Nappa sheepskin with concealed cork signature Scholl footbeds. Calfskin sandals with exposed cork soles and Scholl’s distinctive metal buckles pay homage to the original 1956 Pescura clogs made famous by Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton. The shoes are offered in both heeled and flat variations, including beechwood platform clogs with perforated uppers and co-branded renditions of Balenciaga’s signature pool slide sandals.

One of the highlights of Milan Design Week 2025, is definitely the new home collections by Hermes. This year, architect and artistic director of Hermès collections for the home, Alexis Fabry, spotlights the poetics of glass — explored here through a range of artisanal techniques that highlight its texture, transparency, and depth. One of the key pieces is the Pivot d’Hermès table by Tomas Alonso, measuring 75 by 60 by 55.5cm. Alonso seeks balance, plays with ideas and materials like the colour-wheel inspired lacquered, the tabletop, a round box tabletop in sugi (Japanese cedar) which moves on an eccentric axis and gives the table its unexpected movement.

Gucci partnered with a distinguished silk producer from Como, Italy in 1958 to create the first collaborative scarf, Tolda di Nave — a nautical-themed masterpiece. This year the brand is celebrating The Art of Silk campaign, with a multi-faceted initiative celebrating Gucci’s rich history in silk craftsmanship and its forward-thinking artistic innovation. It includes the 90 x 90 project, where nine international artists reinterpret five archival themes rooted in Gucci’s storied archive — flora, fauna, nautical, equestrian, and the GG Monogram. 

The artists Robert Barry, Everett Glenn, Sara Leghissa, Currynew, Jonny Niesche, Gio Pastori, Walter Petrone, Yu Cai and Inji Seo bring to the table their unique viewpoints whether it’s wry, witty or emotional – a beautiful reinterpretation of the House of Gucci and themselves as creatives and artists. Gucci has also partnered with Assouline for Gucci: The Art of Silk, a book tracing the evolution of Gucci’s silk scarves from their inception in the 1950s to their present-day influence across fashion and art. 

Marlougiela Strass Tabi pumps, Christian Louboutin by Maison Margiela

“The idea was about mixing two different worlds: the more minimalist side of Margiela with the seductive, feminine curves of Louboutin,” explains Christian Louboutin on his collaboration with John Galliano from Maison Margiela. The idea was essentially to feminise the iconic Margiela Tabi, so together, Galliano and Louboutin dreamed up an array of statement red-soled Tabi styles - but with a new construction method. Rather than cutting it into the toecap like the original Margiela Tabi, the Christian Louboutin by Maison Margiela style is designed with two individual pieces that form the split, resulting in a heart-shaped silhouette, adding a sensual and subtle glamour to the Tabi.

If you’re on the hunt for a pair of trendy new shades, may we pique your interest to goggle and oversized shapes with a sci-fi-slash-sporty resemblance? Dior made a new case for the ski-style goggles and Miu Miu presented a version of the futuristic aviators. But the most extreme style was the bug-like vertically-inclined lenses at Prada, which we understand is not for everyone — and is strictly for the fashion daredevils.

Versace stepped up its sneaker game earlier this year with the arrival of the Versace Mercury, the Italian house’s new flagship shoe. The Italian brand appointed K-pop idol Hyunjin of Stray Kids, who is Versace’s global brand ambassador, to model the black Versace Mercury sneakers. Each sneaker is handwoven in Italy with up of 16m of cord – in an intricate process that takes over three hours – by a team of 27 artisans trained in the art of shoemaking.

There are plenty of luxury gold watches in the market, but only one stands out as an ultra-thin, lightweight timepiece crafted entirely in 18K gold: the Piaget Polo 79. This is the original, sophisticated sports-luxury watch first released in 1979, which later became an iconic symbol of the 1980s. Recently reintroduced, it has been upgraded from a quartz movement to Piaget’s ultra-thin calibre 1200P1. What makes the Polo 79 truly exceptional is its seamless combination of an elegant bracelet watch with ultra-thin watchmaking. This is precisely the kind of heritage-inspired release that watch enthusiasts have been hoping for from Piaget – a faithful update of Yves Piaget’s original “bracelet watch” concept, reimagined for the modern era. Unsurprisingly, at the recent Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG) – often referred to as the “Oscars” of the watchmaking industry – the Piaget Polo 79 was awarded the 2024 Iconic Watch Prize.

This luxury womenswear brand founded in 2020 in Copenhagen, Denmark by 30-year old Nicklas Skovgaard is a beautiful interpretation between romanticism and realism. Skovgaard started out as a weaver, creating fabrics with a loom during Covid, but has since evolved into a master shape-shifter who enjoys experimenting with wool and silk with more technical fabrics. His strength is manipulating it into interesting silhouettes made up of voluptuous peplum hems, puffed sleeves, and exaggerated shoulders. This season, Skovgaard together with JW Anderson and Junya Watanabe, were the front runners in outfits with bubble silhouettes and full- bodied skirts with a puff-hem.

The Alaia Le Teckel Bag has been dominating the street style set for a few seasons now but we are not seeing a slow down when it comes to the east-west bag trend. How do you define this style of bag that just screams effortless elegance? Look out for thin, long straps in the bag’s middle section and a stretched- out silhouette (it can fit a ton of things). This season, we’re crushing on a new east-west bag from Stella McCartney - the new Stella Ryder bag - reminiscent of a vintage ‘60s style purse - is handcrafted by artisans in Italy from cruelty-free alternatives using recycled and grape-based innovations.

This Dutch designer was awarded the LVMH’s Karl Lagerfeld Prize - a prestigious accolade given to young creative brands - last year for his take on surrealism (and humour) with his collections. Duran Lantink has made a name for himself as a champion of upcycling and creating statement pieces from existing garments and discarded fabrics. He later pivoted his focus to extreme silhouette, shaping an avant-garde aesthetic that has received rave reviews from the street style scene.
