Schiaparelli Turns Harrods into a Gilded Dreamscape
In true Schiaparelli fashion, the maison’s newly expanded first floor Harrods boutique isn’t so much a shopping destination as it is a surrealist jewel box – part preternatural artist’s daydream, part divine salon. Conceived by Daniel Roseberry and the architectural studio Halleroed, it pens a fantasy seemingly plucked from Elsa Schiaparelli’s subconscious: Venetian mosaic tiles pearlescent and gold like dragon scales, illusion-like mirrors lining the walls and a bathtub overflowing with jewellery as if Salvador Dalí himself had a hand in a bijoux speakeasy.
It’s retail therapy at its most theatrical and decadent. Spanning 222 square metres, the boutique unfolds as a golden enfilade of domed ceilings, anatomical wonders and hidden treasure troves; including a private boudoir for VIP clients clad in statement mirrored panelling. Just next door? A shoe room dressed in tobacco velvet and smoked glass. The effect is like a trompe-l’œil of Parisian grandeur and London restraint.
Step inside and you’re not shopping but dreaming with your eyes open, gold-leaf dome ceilings and all. Talia Panayi
Valentino Stages a satin-clad Sleepover for Spring 2026
Alessandro Michele stages a sleepover for Valentino spring 2026. In a new co-ed lookbook lensed by Marili Andre, the collection sprawls across satin coverlets and pastel-blue carpets, on models or on its own, with over 90 looks framed by plush duvets and crisp pillows. Channelling the aftermath of a night spent painting the town red, it’s a luxuriously decadent meditation on private rituals dreamed up with Valentino’s house (or bedroom) codes in mind.
Michele’s maximalist touch is lucid: candy knits in clashing hues, leopard-print boots, beaded fringe, red berets and circus-bright argyle tailoring. Ruffled gowns and fur-trimmed minis meet vintage florals; sweetheart satin LBDs are paired with sheer tights and dotted with lacy charm. It’s a wardrobe for the girl who falls asleep clutching her ostrich leather bag (her favourite among the four scattered on the bed), or lounges in pearls post-pilates – the only hint toward her activities being her mint and lavender hand weights – and spends her nights snacking on strawberries in gold fur-trimmed boots.
Over in the men’s room, two boys in velvet trousers and floral bombers doze top to tail, while another snaps a post-night-out selfie.
For spring 2026, Michele doesn’t just imagine the night after the night out, he slips under the covers alongside you, slightly tipsy but still dressed to the nines. TP
Average Boy Club flips queer clichés on their head for SS25
Average Boys Club is rewriting the meaning of the term “average” in the fashion world. Rooted in queer subcultures, the brand uses cheeky phrases and a playful attitude to subvert classic silhouettes, created for and by the queer community. And the results are, you guessed it, anything but average.
Its intimate SS25 campaign completely upends age-old clichés surrounding beauty, masculinity and queer identity, viewing them through an ironic, visually-charged lens. Shot by London-based photographer Jesse Glazzard, model Paolo Busti poses in cotton boxer shorts, worn-in cropped tees and jockstraps. This summer Average Boys Club is transforming and resurrecting the queer codes. Katie Poppy Minto
ERDEM drops t-shirts in support of Trans Charities
In support of Not A Phase and akt, Erdem has launched a limited-edition T-shirt going beyond aesthetics and powered by deeper, more pressing issues. Both charities – close to the heart of the house – are committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans and wider LGBTQIA+ communities, a timely matter. This comes after the recent Supreme Court ruling on legal definition for the term ‘woman’.
The T-shirts, featuring light blue, pink and white carnation flowers in celebration of the Trans Pride Flag, are a statement of solidarity to the communities currently under threat. Also featuring a green carnation, a historical indicator of queer identity, made popular by writer Oscar Wilde. With all profits going to both charities, the T-shirt is available online and in store, as well as at the UK’s oldest queer bookstore Gay’s The Word in Bloomsbury. Shop here. KM
Hannah Martin London teams up with Video Game Makers for Digital Collection
British jewellery designer Hannah Martin’s latest collection is an ode to gamers. Joining forces with video game developer Sandfall Interactive and video game publisher Kepler Interactive, the unlikely team have created five beautifully brutalist pieces to exist digitally within the role-playing video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Taking inspiration from the in-game characters, each piece is imagined to be crafted with 18 carat gold and black obsidian, showcasing the decedent aesthetics of the game. Exploring the realm between the real world and the digital, Martin has also crafted 33 real-life necklaces mirroring the ones worn by character Verso as a “thank you” to the artists who have brought the game to life.

Haider Ackermann Merges Fashion And Nature In Second Canada Goose Collection
Haider Ackermann unveils his second Snow Goose by Canada Goose capsule reimagining the outerwear giant’s performance heritage. Seen through the lens of Willy Vanderperre, each eroticised look is pictured alongside a daunting cliff or mountain ranges, signifying a bridge to nature and something a little more evocative. Unwrapping layers of convention and expectation, Ackermann sees the campaign as a “quiet rebellion”, claiming his goal was to make people “pause and question their perceptions of what a Canada Goose campaign could look like”.
The garments draw from the brand’s seven decades of archives, reinterpreting them to become more breathable for warmers months. The contrasting colour pallet draws from cooler images with Icy Blue Artic Mist’ and Violet Eclipse Purple hues. Standout pieces include The Edge Pant designed in lightweight cotton and The Tempest Short, so barely-there they put Paul Mescal’s shorts to shame. Shop the collection here. KPM

Formerly Known As Haeckels’ launches clean, compostable skin care
The Brand Formerly Known As Haeckels introduces Fermented Corneum Renewal, a featherlight AHA cream made to smooth, brighten and gently exfoliate all while playing nice with your skin barrier. It’s an all day glow, no drama formula.
Packed with fruit-derived acids and the brand’s own Spiraglow™ (a fermented spirulina brewed in Margate for maximum antioxidant kick), this one works overnight to resurface skin, boost elasticity and dial up radiance – minus irritation, scent and microplastics. Indulge your skin in a cooler, cleaner kind of clinical skincare served up in a sleek, cream-coloured compact made from 100 per cent compostable Vivomer – meaning once you’re done you can compost it if you wanted too.
Use it two to four times a week after serums, before moisturiser and watch any dead skin melt away. It’s Haeckels’ first skincare launch in a year… and of course, it was worth the wait. Try it for yourself here. TP
Ganni Girl’s get sporty upgrades for summer with new 08 sneaker
If you just so happen to be a Ganni Girl (and let’s face it, who isn’t), meet your new summer must-have: the 08 Sneaker. Dreamed up by creative director Ditte Reffstrup and rooted in her own ‘90s nostalgia, the shoe marks something of a full-circle moment – born from her teenage days playing football in a number 08 jersey, now reimagined in shoe form.
Crafted from the two things Ganni does best: narrative and sustainability, the silhouette is sleek, yes, but far from simple. Think butterfly-winged raw-edge layering, dual laces and even frill-edged collars, with the kicks coming in three on-point colour ways including muted pink, denim blue and lemony yellow. To top it off, each pair is finished with a signature Ganni clash: bright pink to ash-black laces for the full look.
They’re available now at Ganni stores and online. A little sporty, a little sweet and so cool we wouldn’t blame you for wanting all three. Shop here. TP
Kasia Wozniak presents Stillpoint hosted at Incubator
Very few photographers see – let alone shoot – the world quite like Kasia Wozniak. The Polish-born, London-based image-maker – and 10 Magazine contributor – has graced the walls of the National Gallery, Saatchi Gallery, Somerset House and beyond. Now, she presents Stillpoint, a luminous solo show at Incubator, unveiling a new series of wet plate collodion works created with a 19th-century Gandolfi camera. Think less point-and-shoot, more alchemy and elbow grease.
Shot with ritualistic care and otherworldly precision, the works hold a strange and captivating kind of power: rocks pulled from Margate’s tide, glinting eggs like orbiting moons, self-portraits in yoga stances caught somewhere between strength and surrender. Inspired by Ursula Le Guin’s Space Crone and T.S. Eliot’s Burnt Norton, these are images that reject urgency, heavy with intent and impossibly light on their feet.
A Sarabande and UAL alum, Wozniak makes slowness feel sharp again, peeling back the present frame by frame to reveal quieter, more powerful transformations of all that is natural and feminine. Analogue has never looked so alive. Catch it while you can – Stillpoint runs until 29 June. Discover the exhibition here. TP
Giorgio Armani Mare’s summer of Italian elegance
Giorgio Armani Mare is jet-setting once again, showcasing the latest collection with a series of elegant and chic pop-ups that kicked off in Porto Cervo. The house continued its journey onto Capri after its Cannes takeover of the iconic Armani Caffé. Making the Italian island its temporary home, the Giorgio Armani Mare concept, which offers refined selection and natural elegance, will soon present its entire season at Caffé Caso with a takeover of the terrace. Think tropical palms, eclectic music and of course, Armani gelato.
The collection itself imagines a sophisticated summer where natural fabrics and draping silhouettes marry with earthy sand tones and refined shades of ecru to complete a selection worthy of the most exclusive summer spots. Shop the collection here. KPM
