Cecilie Bahnsen Teams Up With Asics
Romance hits the pavement as Cecilie Bahnsen and Asics hard launch their dreamiest sneaker yet: the Gel-Kayano 20. Fresh off the AW25 runway, it fuses tech with a touch of tenderness, picture 3D floral ‘cages’ stemming from Bahnsen’s signature flower motif, sculptural lines and asymmetrical lacing borrowed from a 2005 Marathon Tabi. Available in a vanilla and silver colourway with floral, no-sew overlays, or an olive hue with a sheer mesh base and metallic shine, each pair floats on Asics’ signature Gel cushioning. Releasing from May 2 online, with a global launch May 16, this is a drop sneaker heads don’t want to miss. Cop yours here. Talia Panayi
Miu Miu Drops L’Été 2025
Miu Miu steps into the sunshine with L’Été 2025 – an elegantly offbeat collection inspired by the archetypal summer wardrobe. Shot by Siân Davey in her fashion photography debut, the campaign captures cotton poplins, candy-bright checks and sport-inspired silhouettes in a leafy hideaway. Aviator jackets, tennis skirts and Mary Janes mix with knotted scarves, embellished belts and striped Petit Bateau pieces, crafted exclusively in soft cotton jersey, evoking an eternal childlike state of mind. While accessories also nod to school yard prep, highlighting cute clogs, simple crochet, woven bags and oversized aviator shades. Miu Miu basks in nostalgia, and the art of dressing to undress. TP

Matiere Premiere’s New Hand And Body Line
Sink into gorgeous scents with Matiere Premiere’s new hand and body line, conjured from clean formulas, lush textures and mood-lifting fragrances. It’s a solution where the wash whips into a cloud-like lather, and the lotion glides on the skin leaving it satin soft. Choose from the smoky, Brazilian cabreuva wood warmth of Bois d’Ebène, zingy, Italian citron oil based spice of Cologne Cédrat, or sun-drenched Neroli Oranger featuring slang-slang oil and floral musks. It doesn’t contain parabens or silicones – just naturally scented skin that feels just as good as it smells. Get yours from here, or at Harrods, Liberty and Harvey Nichols. TP

With the former rooting itself in the musky ambroxyde, delightfully elevated by jasmine and moss, and the latter opting for a pepper-centric composition, these perfect products will have any perfume fanatic chomping at the bit.
