Kendrick Lamar Gets The Chanel Treatment
Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar is Chanel’s latest brand ambassador. A friend of the house since 2023 when he arrived at the Met Gala donning a Karl Lagerfeld-inspired custom couture look, Lamar’s relationship with the French house later deepened when in January 2024 he took on creative role for Chanel’s couture show and accompanying short film dubbed ‘The Button’. Now, as the ’Not Like Us’ rapper steps into fashion, all eyes are on Chanel. Rolling out via an SS25 eyewear campaign shot by Karim Sadli, Lamar looks suave in a crystal-adorned set of sunnies.
Loewe’s new Summer Scented candle is sweet as honey
Loewe’s latest scented candle is a slow-burning ode to the hive. Drawing on the golden, mellow warmth of beeswax with the sweet, resinous substance honeybees craft to cradle their nectar, it offers a mid-intensity scent that deepens into earthy, grounding notes over time. Available in a candlestick silhouette or glazed terracotta vessel, each piece is handcrafted and uniquely sculpted. Shop nature’s quiet luxury here.
Repossi unveils Chromatic Sapphires in Collaboration with Moyo Gems
Repossi’s Chromatic Sapphires collection makes its return, unfolding in a cascade of sorbet hues: blush pink, powdery blue and soft green in a bold collaboration with Moyo Gems. Sourced from Tanzania’s Umba Valley, each sapphire is meticulously handpicked by the women who mine them. These colour-shifting gems, with their chameleon-like glow, are held in the Maison’s signature Serti sur Vide setting, where they seem to float, weightless and ethereal. Among the 16 one-of-a-kind creations, six stand alone as true rarities, grounded in traceable origins, female craftsmanship and a little Repossi magic.

Dsquared2 turn up the heat with Summer Lovers capsule
Dsquared2 slips into something sultrier for summer with Summer Lovers, a capsule collection made for glistening skin, salty kisses and days that blur into balmy nights. Inspired by the sun-drenched 1982 film of the same name, we see the brand reimagine resort classics through an ‘80s Hollywood lens. Picture faded denim cut-offs, clingy crochet maxis, embroidered terry polos, postcard prints and tan-line-baring swimwear. Breezy shirting and bucket hats round out a wardrobe built for boat rides, beachside flings and everything in between.
Schiaparelli’s rising icon: The Soufflé Bag
Schiaparelli’s new Soufflé Bag arrives just in time for summer, a spherical daydream whipped into being by Daniel Roseberry. Featuring a slouchy hobo silhouette reimagined through the house’s signature surrealist codes and sculpted from supple calfskin, the bag effortlessly slips between accessory and objet d’art. Golden hardware gathers at the shoulder like a jewelled cuff, adding structure to the softness, while the colour palette bursts with the bright intensity of a midsummer fever dream: yolk yellow, ombré lagoon, chalky nude and inky black. Get yours here.
Coco Gauff calls the shots this Miu Miu x New Balance Collaboration
New Balance and Miu Miu are back – this time with a grand slam collab faced by tennis ace Coco Gauff. Serving up looks for both courtside or curbside, the collection sports sleek tennis kits, reworked CG2 trainers and 530 SLs in city-coded colourways for Rome, Berlin and Cincinnati. Gauff’s on-court style hits a winning combination of colour-blocked navy, white and red (Rome), white, green and sky blue (Berlin) and white, royal blue and red (Cincinnati). Off the court, it’s all about silk hoodies and sharp track jackets and the beloved two-tone laced shoe with sporty upgrades. The collection drops September 10 with Gauff calling the shots at a one-night-only NYC takeover.
