K-pop stans, this is for you! South Korean singer Jennie, a member of the K-pop group Blackpink, is the face of Chanel’s Coco Neige 2021/22 campaign.

16Arlington SS22 collection is all about drama
16Arlington‘s founders Federica Cavenati and Marco Capaldo expressed their view of the contemporary woman through their latest collection: an ultra-glamourous, gothic, femme fatale. Details, such as lengths, hems, and pockets were elongated and exaggerated to give a more dramatic look to the collection, while emphasising the wearer’s femininity. FC

Balenciaga’s UK flagship relocates to a brand new space
Balenciaga has a new UK flagship in London, arriving at Sloan Square with Raw: a brand new 722 square-meter space that features exposed electrical wires, air ducts, support beams, and cracked stained concrete floors, resembling an unfinished construction site. The rough interiors are then balanced out with modern decor, which includes LEDs, video screens, and Balenciaga’s latest collections. The contrast between raw architecture and avant-garde details creates an interesting juxtaposition worthy of the brand’s signature style. Raw is located at 103-105 Sloane Street, London SW1X 9QX. FC
