Bringing you the latest updates from the ever-evolving world of fashion.
Love Unlocked
Tiffany & Co. introduces the With Love, Since 1837 campaign, celebrating its iconic jewellery collections. Inspired by the legendary window designs of Gene Moore, an American designer and window dresser, the campaign reveals the stories behind collections like Lock, T, Knot, HardWear, Sixteen Stone and the Tiffany Setting. Captured by Dan Tobin Smith, the campaign modernises Moore’s vitrines with theatrical vignettes, highlighting love as the core of Tiffany’s craftsmanship. Each collection, from the Lock bracelet to the HardWear series, is imbued with rich history and meaning. The Lock stands as a timeless symbol, tracing its roots to a brooch dating back to 1883, while the bold and sleek forms of the HardWear collection pay homage to a Tiffany bracelet from 1962. Shot in London, the campaign’s set by Rachel Thomas features seamless transitions between miniature and oversized models, creating illusions through lighting and camera movements.
Strong, Direct and Iconic
Versace unveils its Icons collection campaign featuring Anne Hathaway as the epitome of Versace womanhood with Cillian Murphy embodying the essence of the debut men’s collection. Donatella Versace praises the actors as exceptional talents who perfectly embody the brand’s ethos. The Icons collection offers inventive yet wearable pieces that seamlessly blend iconic Versace codes with everyday functionality. Tailoring takes centre stage, with standout pieces including women’s cropped raglan jackets and men’s tailored jackets adorned with metal Medusa Biggie details. Iconic Versace details elevate the look, from silk Barocco print inserts to Medusa ‘95 hardware accents. The collection also includes a full range of bags and shoes, with the Medusa ‘95 bag line showcasing the iconic signature detail across structured styles.
Fashionable Friends
Marc Jacobs and designer Anna Sui join forces to commemorate the Marc Jacobs brand’s 40th anniversary with a limited-edition varsity jacket and Snapshot bag. This collaboration not only celebrates a milestone but also honours the enduring friendship between these two fashion luminaries. Featuring illustrations by Will Broome, known for his creation of the beloved Miss and Mister Marc characters, these products reimagine iconic pieces from the brand’s history with a playful twist. The Miss Marc graphic, originally introduced in the early 2000s, makes a nostalgic return, blending Marc and Anna’s distinctive aesthetics in a delightful fusion. The release marks the second in a series of special collaborations throughout the year, following the debut of a bespoke lipstick by Pat McGrath in February.
