GRAFF EMERGES FROM THE COCOON
Spring is finally here to stay and it’s time to break out of your chrysalis and fly. Graff is channelling the energy of renewal for its latest campaign starring Rosalieke Fuchs and Xinyue Guo highlighting the Butterfly collection. The insect, one of the most mystical in all nature, has been intrinsic to the jewellery brand’s DNA for over fifty years. The collection not only stands as a symbol for the pivotal moments in the wearer’s life but also Graff’s persistent self-evolution. Each piece captures the fleeting beauty of the natural world through stone-led design techniques employed by Graff’s team of master artisans, resulting in a high jewellery offering that leaves you soaring.

BANG & OLUFSEN REIMAGINES THE BEOLAB 90
Has sound ever been this glamorous? Bang & Olufsen is releasing two variations of its Beolab 90 speakers – the Monarch and the Zenith – which are bound to energise any space through both an enlivening auditory experience and otherworldly product design. The new editions, available in a limited run of ten pairs each, maintain the impressive technological specs of the original version, with 18 bespoke drivers and innovative beam-forming technology at their heart. The Monarch is sculpted by rosewood lamellas which angle and curve around the contours of the Beolab ’90s aluminium cabinet and semi-transparent sections of fabric offering a glimpse at the drivers. Meanwhile, Bang & Olufsen employs its master atelier for the Zenith as six panels of 289 anodised aluminium spheres are arranged in seven pearl-inspired tones to shimmering effect and topped off with a round mother-of-pearl inlay. Just imagine the new Raye album on these! Find out more here. JH
GUESS JEANS AND HYSTERIC GLAMOUR BRING HARAJUKU REBELLION TO CALIFORNIA
This denim has us laughing all the way to the store. For spring 2026, Guess Jeans is tapping cult Harajuku label Hysteric Glamour in a new collaboration bridging the rebellious creative undergrounds of California and Tokyo. Revealed in a campaign shot on-location at a Los Angeles motel, the collection brings Guess Jeans’ classic silhouettes together with daring Hysteric Glamour graphics to encapsulate that SoCal surf and skate heritage. The result is a nostalgic Spring wardrobe with a soul defined by both brands’ decades-long entanglements with youth culture. This shines in the detailing, as labels are strewn across garments to embed a tactility whilst denim is embossed and treated by lasers before being paired with retro Venice Beach stripes. Dropping April 4, we can’t wait to pull up to the skate park in these. JH
EMMA LEWISHAM PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CLEANSER
Moisturise me, moisturise me! Kiwi skincare alchemist Emma Lewisham is going right back to the start (of the routine) with her new Supernatural Crème Cleanser. Touted as a revolution, the product unlocks the benefits seemingly reserved only for serums and moisturisers in the past to ensure more than adequate levels of essential moisture and lipids. The silky cleanser contains a myriad of innovative ingredients as saccharide isomerate provides up to 24 hours of post-rinse hydration, patchouli diminishes inflammation and a selective cleansing agent to root out impurities whilst preserving the skin microbiome. Out now, it leaves one wondering why it’s taken so long for a cleanser of the sort to materialise. Get your hands on the Supernatural Crème Cleanser here. JH
ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE FOR LILI CURIA
Lights, camera, footwear! As summer approaches, Lili Curia is stepping into the spotlight with chiropodous force in a new campaign film, shot by Sammy King in South Africa, paying homage to the theatre of everyday life. We’re introduced to each shoe in the collection in a glamorous, unhurried fashion as the heroine arrives – foot first – to a baby shower, the pool, the library, defining the atmosphere. As the models step out in bold kitten heels, stilettos and platforms; clogs, ballet flats and sandals, their fellow public can’t help but stop in their tracks, exchanging side-eyes without the ability to comment. Simply stunned. The collection, which launches April 8, is sure to give you the stage you deserve. JH
JIMMY CHOO SOAKS UP THE MALIBU SUN
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away! Jimmy Choo is bringing French Riviera elegance to a modern Malibu sensibility this summer at Paradise Cove, the West Coast world of their brand new capsule collection. The campaign is a hazy, sun-soaked daydream, depicting model Camille Chifflot in her summer element. Whether cruising along in a boat in the effortless, strawberry-toned gingham Liss sandal or strolling down the beach with one’s effects delicately stuffed into the raffia Riviera mini tote on your shoulder and the soft-spoken Livi wedges in one hand, they make it impossible not to give into the season of sun. We have our flights booked already. Discover more here. JH
TIFFANY & CO. REVEALS ITS DARK SIDE
Forget breakfast, let’s go straight for the HardWear. Tiffany & Co. is breathing new life into its iconic HardWear collection with a brand new necklace and bracelet made from titanium and platinum, with a diamond wrap. One of Tiffany’s most recognisable collections, the combination of two signature metals gives the line a contemporary update embodying titanium’s symbolic properties: strength, freedom and resilience. HardWear is a stalwart of the Tiffany brand, forever emphasising their craftsmanship and material innovation, and this is encapsulated best in the honeycomb pattern diamonds set into the platinum clap using a bright cut setting. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend after all. There are only 400 pieces available globally so make sure to get yours now by shopping here. JH
LOOK INTO OUR VALENTINO EYES
If you’re going to dress in head-to-toe couture, you have to do it properly. For their Spring eyewear collection, Valentino is reinterpreting their haute couture heritage through fearless shapes and luxurious construction pour les yeux. The glasses are quintessentially Alessandro Michele, brimming with refined eccentricity as strong cat-eyes, oversized square shapes and angular flat frames marry key maison motifs such as the iconic Vain bag, the late designer’s favour for stripes and, of course, Valentino red. The house’s logo – or “Vlogo” – is front-and-centre too, appearing as acetate cutouts and embeds in lacquer. This isn’t your average eyewear, this is Valentino eyewear. Buy yours now here. JH
Ludovic de Saint Sernin: Tassels, Fringe And Lace Galore
For AW26, Parisian designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin expands his universe into darker, more severe undertones. Materials of velvet, leather, lace and mesh soften the colour palette of black, white and red. A raw approach to design, de Saint Sernin rejects the idea of spectacle. More, but make it meaningful, and not in excess. Featured accessories include the maison’s signature Cleavage bag – now available as a clutch and bucket bag, as well as the original baguette style. In black nappa leather, black, red and white patent leather, beige suede and black pony leather. The harness bag makes its debut amongst the collection – in a baguette style suspended from a harness, with subtle references to bondage.
The assisting images were shot by Italian duo Nicola and Manuel, the photographs replicating the minimalistic sequinned sexuality underscoring the collection. Lillie Elston
Vivienne Westwood Calls For The Anglophiles
Spectacle, narration, performance – Vivienne Westwood’s latest assemblage has it all. Directly inspired by England’s history, open sleeves and corseted knitwear as seen in Hans Holbein’s Tudor court paintings, are reimagined in VW’s portrait of its own modern England. Hunting breeches and felted tailoring meet mini skirts and fishnets whilst billowing melton overcoats conceal draped lurex party dresses. Stripes and oxford shirtings are reminiscent of the 1994 Café Society collection. A recurring sly erotic undertone features – through stockings and suspenders, taken from the Andreas Kronthaler for VW Paris show.
The supporting lookbook, shot by Suffo Moncloa, is reflective of the 14th century medieval anthology Canterbury Tales – the models playing as characters sprawled doing everyday tasks, each look balancing exaggerated asymmetric tailoring with a barely-there gauzy air.
VW serves clothes that feel lived-in yet are so predominantly new. And that’s something to get dressed up in. LE
Gigi Hadid Stars IN Miu Miu’s latest Leathergoods Campaign
A youthful take on class is undertaken in Miu Miu’s latest leather campaign. Photographed by Steven Meisel and starring Gigi Hadid, the stills appear as if taken from a French New Wave film. Hadid, sporting her new cropped hairdo in true à la garçonne fashion, moves into a quintessentially roomy apartment, with brush-painted doors in pops of red and blue setting the backdrop. The Wander and Arcadie bags are the leading roles, whipped up in quilted buttery matelassé leather, in poppy shades of sky blue and forest green, amongst muted, sophisticated tones of beiges and creams. Slouched against walls and leaning on chairs wearing cool suede jackets and v-neck knits, Hadid carries a carelessly chic air alongside her new leather finds. LE

BFC x Barbour Drop A Scholarship
The renowned British Fashion Council have announced a new education collab with British lifestyle brand Barbour. The result is an annual scholarship under the BFC foundation, providing essential funding to an MA or BA student, who is enrolled at a BFC Colleges Council member university. The program was set up to assist up-and-coming talent and to recognise the skills that underscore British fashion. Delivered in collaboration with brands like Barbour, the scholarship is more than a safety net – it provides financial support, skills development and real-life practice. Cheers to that. LE
D&G Spice IT Up With DNA Campaign
Coming in hot is D&G’s latest DNA campaign, featuring Italian sweetheart Mariacarla Boscono. Set in Rome, Boscono is captured in part-romantic-part-sultry shots through a black and white lens. The assisting video, adding to the campaign’s Italian summertime nostalgia vibes, shows the model-cum-actress sat outside an old pizzeria, strolling through the cobbled streets of Rome, ponderingly laying in bed and sharing a kiss with a mystery man. Photographer Karim Sadli and stylist Emmanuelle Alt work together harmoniously to play with shadows in the film, with Boscono wearing all black in a visibly sunny afternoon – she dons a D&G sheer knitted dress, another bodycon vintage-inspired dress, a cropped blazer with suspenders and classic stiletto heels. These are topped off with classic stiletto heels and a smooth leather satchel bag. Summertime elegance never looked so good. LE
