From collections inspired by London’s Nightlife to vibrant travel accessories honouring Singapore’s architecture
In this comprised list, we explore the hottest items in fashion, eyewear, jewellery, fragrances, and more, from famous brands and designers such as Carolina Herrera, Carlos Gil, Loewe, Tous and Lacoste.
Believe it
London’s nightlife and burlesque extravaganza serve as the motto for Carlos Gil’s Believe It collection for spring-summer 2024. Designed to make an impact through their details, fits and finishes, the designer’s new pieces emphasise the sensuality and charm of feminine beauty through fringes, feathers, stones and sparkles. The pattern created exclusively for the season is brushed with plumes for a confident and seductive woman.
Happy mood
Carolina Herrera’s latest eyewear collection reflects the brand’s nuanced femininity and joyful aesthetic, in a perfect balance between classic and contemporary elegance. The Seasonal Collection stands out for its sophisticated new Diva sunglasses, inspired by a floral setting and enhanced by a sparkling flower set with crystals on the front and one on the right temple. The Essential Collection features new casual and comfortable sunglasses in ultra-light rigid acetate, created with a skilful gluing technique that highlights unexpected colour combinations.
Manifesto
The Tous Manifesto collection features a new monogram that transforms into the brand’s latest symbol. Comprising earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces that link together, allowing each wearer to build their own manifesto in jewellery form, the collection offers a variety of pieces created in silver, 18-carat gold-plated silver or gold, as well as pieces incorporating coloured gemstones and pearls. The hand-painted enamel completes the line.
Authentic scents
Loewe has added two new products to its home fragrance range. Mushroom and Roasted Hazelnut join the brand’s collection of 12 fragrances that reflect the authentic essences of the garden. Mushroom, with its deep aroma, is inspired by Portobello mushrooms and has earthy notes that evoke the unique olfactory profile of fresh mushrooms. The Roasted Hazelnut fragrance, which stands out for its richness, has woody and nutty notes that emphasise a gourmand olfactory profile reminiscent of some European desserts.
Inspiring Singapore
The latest collection from travel and lifestyle accessories brand Tumi is inspired by Singapore and the diversity of architectural silhouettes, iridescent hardware, vibrant colours and textural elements typical of the country. The Alpha Bravo men’s line, composed of high-performance essentials, also draws on this source of inspiration. The “go-anywhere, do-anything” backpacks now feature a new colour palette in which blue ombre and charcoal stand out.
Revisiting the past
Lacoste’s new autumn-winter 2024/25 collection celebrates the brand’s legacy, revisiting tennis styles and archival references and translating them into sophisticated, universal ready-to-wear pieces. Strong tailoring, rigid lines and precise graphics reinforce the dialogue between fashion, sports and art, as important to today’s creative scene as it was at the time of the brand’s founder, tennis player René Lacoste.
Forever comfort
Birkenstock presents the Emboss collection, featuring the classics and new models. This line’s main focus is on embossed suede, upholding the pillars of the German brand of comfort, quality and tradition. From the emblematic Arizona sandals and Boston clogs to the unisex Blend trainers, the entire collection is based on a colour palette made up of neutral tones, such as grey or beige.
Celebrating history
Montblanc’s new Unveiled Timekeeper Minerva watch marks 165 years of Minerva watchmaking, as well as the centenary of the first wrist chronograph movement. This cutting-edge chronograph is based on the historic 1923 calibre and features all the traditional Minerva design codes and watchmaking finishes. With a new mechanical function that transforms the traditional operation of chronographs, the new watch is activated by an elegant, fluted bezel in au750 gold.
