For this month’s news roundup, we bring you nostalgic comebacks, colourful designs and unexpected collaborations from across the fashion world.
Inspired by Flowers
Spring at Highgrove has made its way onto fabric in Burberry’s new capsule collection, created in collaboration with British artist Helen Bullock. Inspired by the Kitchen Garden at the private residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the pieces feature colourful illustrations of wildflowers, poppies and buzzing bees, all drawn from Helen’s time spent exploring the garden’s arbours and fountains. The 28-piece collection includes menswear, womenswear and accessories crafted using certified wool, organic cotton and silk. It supports The King’s Foundation (the charity founded by His Majesty), which preserves Highgrove Gardens and promotes traditional craft skills. The campaign stars actors Elizabeth McGovern, Laura Carmichael and ọpệ Dìrísù. The capsule is a reflection of Burberry’s ongoing celebration of British heritage and its connection to nature and the Royal Warrant. This also marks the brand’s fourth collaboration with Highgrove.
Reviving The Archives
To celebrate 30 years of style, Jimmy Choo reissues a curated edit of eight iconic shoes from its formative years, a fun reminder of where it all began. Taken from the brand’s first five years, these designs form the DNA of Jimmy Choo: feminine, fearless and forever relevant. Curated by Creative Director Sandra Choi alongside designer Conner Ives and fashion journalist and curator Alexander Fury, the lineup celebrates animal prints, asymmetry, unique details and the perfect strappy sandal, all from the late ‘90s to Y2K (Year 2000). Carrie Bradshaw’s infamous “I lost my Choo!” moment lives on through the reissue of style 72138, a lilac suede, feather-trimmed icon of 1998. Other famous designs include THE STRAPPY from SS97, the 1999 pragmatic-meets-glam SLIDE and THE LEO in leopard grosgrain from 2000.
Printed Kicks
Converse and KENZO come together for the first time, collaborating on the Chuck 70 shoe through a daring, retro-inspired lens. Nigo, KENZO’s artistic director, taps into his love for vintage Americana and wild prints with the Hana Leopard design, with the ‘80s archives serving as a common ground between both brands. The collection includes one high-top and two low-top styles, reworked with unexpected details like distinctive winged stitching on both sides of the shoe, a vintage-style Chuck Taylor patch that’s purposely distressed to mimic the original’s look and a pinched collar for added character. Look closely and you’ll spot KENZO’s boke flower on the sole and a custom charm attached, thoughtful touches without trying too hard. It’s a punchy, nostalgic drop with a hint of fashion, streetwear and playful rebellion.
The Cherry on Top
Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami are back for one last time, marking 20 years since their first collaboration. Chapter Three of their re-edition collection arrives just in time for summer, bringing with it the return of Murakami’s much-loved smiling cherry motif, the cheeky, candy-coloured character with a green stalk that played a big part in early 2000s fashion. This final drop, tied to Louis Vuitton’s 2025 Resort collection, includes over 70 pieces like bags, shoes, charms, scarves and even a cherry-adorned bicycle. Ranging from cherry-shaped heels on raffia mules to new Monogram pieces in a crisp white, showing off the cherries in glossy, 3D-printed glory. Embroidered denim, hand fans, deck chairs and several fun items complete the collection. Zendaya fronts the campaign once again, this time set against a backdrop of giant cherries on the Mediterranean coast, a fitting send-off for an iconic partnership.
Sunsets and Silhouettes
& Other Stories has announced an exciting collaboration with celebrated Londonbased designer Roksanda Ilinčić, who is known for her choice of bright colour palettes, sculptural designs and focus on feminine strength. Roksanda brings her signature style to a summery collection of clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty. Taking inspiration from the stunning shades of summer sunsets, the ensemble features flowy yet structured silhouettes, architectural lines and expressive colour blocking. It includes a red ruffled dress, an abstract brushstroke mulberry silk dress and a striking white suiting set. Her personal touches continue in accessories, such as oversized sun hats, pearl-accented jewellery, as well as lipstick and nail polish, which are curated to pair well with the garments. Footwear comes in two options: detailed and sculptured burgundy mules and high but pointy boots with angled heels in lilac or bronze patent leather.
