The Fabulous World of Dior at Harrods

Dior has teamed up with Harrods this holiday season and launched The Fabulous World of Dior, a spectacular presentation illuminating the hallowed halls of the legendary department store. Shoppers will discover two unprecedented pop-up stores that draw their decor from the most beautiful Christmas fairytales and feature a multitude of original creations specially designed for the event. To complete the ultra-chic festive experience and in homage to British culture, the Maison also launched Café Dior at Harrods.

Mugler at The Selfridges Corner Shop

Celebrating 30 years of the brand’s iconic perfume Angel, Mugler’s immersive “Body Space” is the newest pop-up experience at The Selfridges Corner Shop, merging fashion and fragrance.

As part of the celebrations, the Space will also play host to the Synaesthesia Chamber, an installation allowing consumers to delve deeper into the world of Angel via a poetic and sensory scent, light and soundscape experience.

HEAT Launches SUPERBRAND Box

Already popular in Asia but mainly in the market for small figurines, the concept of buying a mystery box containing an unknown piece of fashion item is now made popular by the UK-based business HEAT. Founded in 2019 by Mario Maher and Joe Wilkinson, HEAT quickly gained momentum and bagged investments from big names including LVMH Luxury Ventures, The Hermès Family and venture capital firm Antler in 2o22, offering fans a shopping experience like no other.

Expanding into the superbrands category, HEAT will drop its first luxury box on heat.io at 8pm GMT on November 15 — expect to receive the likes of Balenciaga’s ‘It’ Hourglass bag or a timeless Saint Laurent bomber, at a price of £990/$1140/€114.

The luxury eyewear label LINDA FARROW has teamed up with Nima Benati, the Italian photographer known for creating ethereal, dreamlike images, for the new SS23 drop launching this month. The new style comes encrusted with emerald cut Swarovski crystals for maximum attitude and impact, and will be available in 4 delicious jewel tones.

Malone Soulier Debut Bag Collection

Known for their signature Maureen mules that merge well-fitted comfort with elevated style, the London-based luxury shoe designer Malone Souliers has debuted a limited-edition capsule of holiday bags this November. Marking Malone Soulier’s first venture into the most indispensable of accessories, the collection features 4 key styles that embrace the brand’s love of traditional craft as well as innovative design.

“Shoes and bags are inseparable in our collective fashion imagination.” Speaking of the inaugural launch, founder and Creative Director Mary Alice Malone says: “The name Malone Souliers has become synonymous with elevated footwear, and so handbags were always going to be close behind. This collection was an opportunity to apply our meticulous manufacturing techniques and keenly refined aesthetic to a new area; to push ourselves into uncharted territory, and to approach the task with excitement and optimism.”

Fiorucci Pre-Spring 23 Collection

Established in 1967 by Elio Fiorucci, the iconic Italian fashion brand Fiorucci re-launched in 2017 and caused a fashion-world frenzy as it turned the universe back into sparkling technicolor. The new PS23 collection launched online and in-store this month features popping graphics and prints in mesmerizing pastel shades, as well as the label’s signature Angels across organic cotton jerseys, baby tees and chunkier outerwear. The drop also sees an array of notably sexier silhouettes — think mesh minis, slinky co-ords, and form-fitting dresses — and paints a fun and carefree picture of the upcoming season.

Jekeun x Depop for Men’s Mental Health

London-based designer Jekeun will drop a capsule collection of one-off, up-cycled pieces via the brand’s dedicated Depop store (@Jekeun) on November 18, with an aim to raise awareness of men’s mental healths issues.

“The initial idea for this project came from noticing men wearing sports gear underneath a suit. I saw many men extremely tired and putting on a guise to be serious in their field at work. But after work, they transform into a 10 year old boy and run to pitches, to sit in front of the Xbox at their mate’s flat or the pub with excitement.” Having had his own personal struggles around identity and expression, designer Jekeun Cho says: “As our brand identity started from personal vulnerability and leads to everyone, we wanted to share our story and discuss people’s difficulties through fashion. Speaking out and sharing is the best way to ride out a storm and fashion is one of the best tools we can use to communicate this.”

Agent Nateur’s New Body Care Range

Agent Nateur, the hugely popular beauty and wellness brand championing natural, eco-certified and powerful ingredients without any of the nasties, has just launched its newest range of body care products: the deeply hydrating holi (wash) and body (balm).

New York-based apparel label Rowing Blazers has partnered up with British artist and designer Luke Edward Hall to deliver their second collab collection inspired by the classical world. The theme brings together Hall’s love of ancient motifs and Rowing Blazers founder Jack Carlson’s background as a classical archaeologist. The newly dropped capsule, which forms part of Rowing Blazer’ FW22 collection and features bold motifs and prints by Hall, also serves a special purpose: a portion of all the proceeds will support the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives and World Language Advocacy efforts of the American Classical League’s Committee for Latin and Greek.
