TIFFANY & CO. SERVES TROPICAL TIMEKEEPING
Tiffany & Co. continues its celebrations for the launch of the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden high jewellery collection with a new timepiece with a feathery flourish. The Paradise Bird Parrot watch, which takes after famed Tiffany & Co designer Jean Schlumberger’s revered Bird on a Rock brooch, depicts an Amazonian scene, with an 18k white gold bird set with white diamonds, an onyx beak, pink sapphire eyes and a turquoise body sat atop a 2.5-carat cabochon-cut chrysoprase. This exquisite craftsmanship foregrounds the delicate enamel artistry of the scene behind, in which three coats of hand-painted foliage – a process requiring over 80 hours of precise work – cover four layers of opaque blue enamel. The scene is encased in an 18k white gold case, spattered with 425 round diamonds. With only ten of these pieces set for release, the watch is a squawking testament to Tiffany & Co.’s gemological mastery. Find out more here. James Hughes
JIMMY CHOO’S FLORAL FLOURISHES
For the third instalment of its From The Atelier series celebrating craft and innovation, Jimmy Choo have reinterpreted the Bon Bon bag. Taking inspiration from each of the four seasons, the designs are rooted in the work of paper artist Helen Musselwhite. Where the past two chapters of From The Atelier turned to embroidery and crystal embellishment, the new Bon Bons interrogate another of the Jimmy Choo’s core materials – leather. The material is hand-shaped to forge a narrative for each season, deploying motifs like the blossom and the butterfly to reflect nature’s subtle changes. A peony pink iteration (a nod to creative director Sandra Choi’s favourite flower) evokes springtime, whilst sun-bleached pastels capture summer, bronze tones bring to mind the falling leaves of autumn and winter manifests in a frosty silver. The capsule is available now in select Jimmy Choo stores worldwide and, released alongside a curated selection of shoes, provides you with the perfect accessory for everyday of the year.

FENDI’S FINDS FURNITURE’S NEXT BIG STAR
The first edition of the Fendi Design Prize has a winner! Driven by the Roman house’s desire to continue its legacy as an incubator for new design talent, the initiative was curated by Guilio Cappellini. The jury, completed with several prominent design figures like Cristina Celestino and Joseph Grima, the winner was selected from over 70 applicants from the world’s top design schools. The brief tasked these burgeoning designers to envision a living environment that encapsulated everything Fendi: upcycled leather, the Selleria colour palette, Roman heritage and skilled craftsmanship. The aptly-named Gustav Craft was announced as the inaugural winner at Milan Design Week with his submission Via. Using the ancient streets of Rome to question what it really means for something to last, Craft reimagined the city’s sampietrino – basalt paving stones – into a collection of furniture. The project will come into fruition later this year at Design Miami before developing into a collection with Fendi Casa in 2027. The future of the home is here, and it’s spectacularly Roman.

JW ANDERSON TAKES A TRIP TO HAWAII
Aloha Jonathan! JW Anderson is tapping into the rhythms of summer for its new Summer Series capsule collection, with a selection of confident, graphic pieces rooted in process, people and craft. The offering is led by a signature print – the Panini o ka Punahou – sourced from the archive of Hawaiin artwork collector Dale Hope. Splashed across a menswear camp-collar shirt and shorts set and a womenswear off-the-shoulder shoulder dress, the print portrays a flowering cactus that is only spotted in bloom at nighttime. Nautical knitwear, boucle jacquard dresses and cropped jumpers also pop up throughout. Elsewhere, the brand’s signature Loafer Bag reappears, this time hand-woven and accompanied by hand-crocheted fruit and vegetable charms. Bringing it all to life is a sun-drenched campaign shot by Tanya and Zhenya Posternak, featuring actor Milo Callaghan. Available now, the capsule arrives just in time for those beach-bound holidays. Get your hands on the collection here. JH
AHLUWALIA AND PUMA CELEBRATE AFRICAN FOOTBALL CULTURE
London-based designer Priya Ahluwalia has tapped Puma to co-create a collection that celebrates the her joint Indian-Nigerian heritage. The collection reworks Puma’s V-S1 trainer silhouette, reminiscent of the early 2000s, as well as the T7 tracksuit in the form of sporty-chic tops and mini skirts, alongside slouchy tees and quarter-zip footie shirts. The garments lean into the tones of the Nigerian flag, deploying green, reds and yellow for a warm, radiant feel. To accompany, a multimedia campaign lensed on sand-dusted Moroccan streets, pens a love letter to African football culture ahead of the World Cup this summer. Take a closer look here. Lillie Elston
ARMANI DELVES INTO THE ARCHIVE
Coinciding with Milan Design Week, the second iteration of Armani/Archivio has opened at the Giorgio Armani boutique on Via Sant’Andrea 9. Originally launched in 2025, the project is aimed at fashion history fans and Armani fanatics alike, reproducing looks from the Armani archive. This next chapter saw the unveiling of 13 looks across mens and womenswear from 1979 through to 1994. Available to purchase, the project emphasises the importance of timeless design – a core ethos of the Armani brand. After all, if anything is timeless, it’s a structured Armani suit, right? Pairing the launch with a series of in-store talks on collecting, archiving and heritage, the release also comes with an Eli Russell Linnetz-lensed campaign. Immerse yourself here. LE

The images, shot by David Sims, explore the stark contrast between a beach and a cityscape, mirroring the contrasts that often lie at the heart of Prada clothes, where casual meets elegance and occasion meets undress.
