TEN CRAVES IS OUR ONLINE SERIES THAT ROUNDS UP ALL THE BEST PRODUCT LAUNCHES AND MUST-KNOW FASHION HAPPENINGS WEEK IN, WEEK OUT.
Louis Vuitton Hits The Slopes
Louis Vuitton knows how to get both après ski and actual ski right, and its latest women’s ski collection is the undeniable proof. Think graphic salopettes, featherlight waterproof nylon and a coppery Monogram Miroir canvas glinting like glaciers at golden hour. Skiing has never looked so couture – or so ready for a champagne break halfway down the slope. Shop the offering here.
John Lobb Celebrates 75 Years of the Lopez
There are shoes, and then there’s the Lopez – 75 years of unbothered British elegance, stitched one seam at a time in Northampton. Born in 1950 from a Baron Lopez’s sketch and still the loafer of record for the quietly confident, John Lobb’s icon remains as relevant as ever. Now reimagined, the brand delivers a special run of Lopez loafers. A masterclass in restraint, the Lopez doesn’t walk through time – it glides. Shop the limited-edition shoes here.
Baracuta x Barbour Is Back
Baracuta and Barbour are back in business with their third collab, and inspired by the Northern Soul Movement, it’s pure rhythm and rainproof swagger. Two Northern legends rework their icons across outerwear, clothing and accessories – think waxed jackets, Fraser tartan and a wink to Wigan Casino shot by Normski in Peckham’s Jumbi. It’s Britain in a jacket: weatherproof, musical and proudly dancing till dawn. Shop here.
POMELLATO UNVEILS NEW CAPSULE COLLECTION: BISANZIO
Pomellato unveils Bisanzio, a new capsule from its Memorie d’Archivio series that reimagines a 1990s classic with the glow of contemporary Byzantium. Sixteen hypnotic gemstone pairings – from Paraiba tourmaline to pyrope garnet – shimmer in rose gold like treasures unearthed from another world. It’s ancient opulence, Milan-style: bold, sensual and a little bit holy. Discover the collection here.
Disney Sets Up At Selfridges
A dream is a wish Selfridges makes. Celebrating the holiday season in Disney style, the retailer’s Oxford Street flagship is transformed into a twinkling fairytale kingdom, complete with a bespoke 11-metre castle façade and pixie-dusted light show. Calling the activation A Most Magical Christmas, with everything from Tinker Bell’s sparkle to Cinderella’s carriage metamorphosing in the windows, Selfridges proves once again that no one does retail theatre – or Christmas magic – quite like it.
Guess Serves Up A Desert Escape
Under Moroccan stars, Guess gathered its global fashion family to mark 45 years of denim dreams with its One World, One Brand conference and celebration (the eighth edition), held this year in the city of Marrakech. A catwalk at El Badi Palace and an exclusive takeover of The White Camel Camp turned the Agafay Desert into a mirage of sequins, sand and heritage. Paul Marciano described it as something akin to a homecoming; we call it pure golden-hour glamour.
Dioralps Sets Its Sights On Après-Ski
Off to the mountains we go with the DiorAlps collection, a capsule wardrobe for those who like their ski gear with a side of savoir-faire. Think Oblique puffers, shearling-trimmed Lady Dior bags, après-ski boots and goggles branded with “Christian Dior” for the ultimate downhill flex. Because who needs snow when you can shimmer? Shop here.
Charles Jeffrey Levels Up
Charles Jeffrey steps off the dance floor and into couture with No Wave, a movement of glorious imperfection inspired by downtown New York’s art rebels. Raw, experimental and defiantly anti-trend, this is flou with a punk heart – chaos stitched in silk. Client 001? Zoë Bleu Arquette. Expect more mayhem, exquisitely cut.
Studio Brocky Slips into The ‘60s
Stepping back into the ‘60s, Studio Brocky, the London-based design practice, unveils its debut furniture and lighting collection. A love letter to British craft and space-age optimism, each sculptural piece – designed and handmade in England – merges pop nostalgia with sleek modernity – velvet meets metal, glam meets grit. Designed to be touched, kept and remembered, these are heirlooms for the new age of cool. Shop here.
Van Cleef & Arpels Reimagines Alhambra
Luck never looked so luminous. Van Cleef & Arpels reimagines its iconic Alhambra collection with transformable necklaces, reversible rings and a watch that tells time like a poem. Guilloché gold, chalcedony and mother-of-pearl shimmer in motion – each piece a delicate metamorphosis between past and present. Five decades on, the maison still makes fortune look flawlessly French. Purchase yours here.
Johanna Parv Is Popping Up In East London
For one day and one day only, Johanna Parv is popping up in East London. With an ephemeral shop opening this Saturday, November 8, from 11am-6pm at 127 Hackney Road, E2 8GY, fans of the cult London-based brand are invited to shop the AW25 collection, first presented back in February during London Fashion Week. Don’t walk, run.
Blanche is Giorgio Armani’s Latest Fine Jewellery Collection
The Blanche selection blossoms anew as Giorgio Armani unveils a new suite of fine jewels inspired by Arabian jasmine. Agate petals, milky and soft, cradle diamonds, topazes and prasiolites in the brand’s signature 18K gold – quiet luxury in bloom. Refined, romantic and unmistakably Armani, it’s jewellery that whispers rather than shouts.
Valentino’s Nocturnal Reverie
Just before the night comes, Valentino drifts into the in-between. Shot by Renell Medrano under Alessandro Michele’s dreamy direction, Nocturne, the maison’s cruise collection campaign, unfolds in a hotel where sleep, solitude and silk sheets blur into poetry. Starring Dev Hynes, Dakota Johnson and Tate McRae amongst others, its a cinematic reverie where Chopin plays, and the world finally exhales.
