BOTTEGA VENETA’S NEW FRAGRANCES ARE WORKS OF ART (NYLON)

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. When you think of Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta, the first thing that comes to mind is likely leather — whether it’s the brand’s instantly-recognizable Intrecciato pattern or buttery-smooth Jodie or Pouch bag. Thus, it might be surprising to find that there’s not trace of leather in the house’s new line of luxury namesake fragrances, which are inspired instead by the breezy, balmy feel of coastal locations around the world. But then again, Bottega Veneta has never been known to be predictable. The Venice-based brand is beloved by chic minimalists who favor rich hues and unparalleled craftsmanship; the girl who smells like Bacarrat Rouge 540 is the...

Why is Fashion So Obsessed with Bathrooms? (W Magazine)

Valentino "Le Meta-Theatre des Intimites" show as part of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2025. Photo by Daniele Venturelli/Getty Images The fashion world has been gabbing about bathrooms. It started with Alessandro Michele’s fall 2025 Valentino show, staged on March 8 in a faux public bathroom with stalls painted in the house’s signature red. Michele’s explanation of his choice, as detailed in his show notes: “No intimacy can ultimately undress… Because the idea that there’s an authentic self, untouched by life and its determinations, is misleading.” Ultimately, it’s the toilet that got people talking. This isn’t the first time fashion has gone to the bathroom for inspiration. See the Winter 2025 issue of 032c, which featured a nude Amelia Gray on a pink toilet. Go back...

According to the Fall 2025 Runways, the Noughties Are Back (W Magazine)

Getty Images The biggest trend to emerge from the fall 2025 runways? Dressing like it’s 2005. This season, top luxury brands emphasized the past—specifically that period right between 2000 and 2009 known as the noughties—by reimagining beloved hero pieces straight from their archives. Call it Carrie Bradshaw chic. While this never-ending game of creative director musical chairs has left fashion waiting for the future, Paris Fashion Week dipped into nostalgia with several labels reviving key house codes in new ways. At Dior, designer Maria Grazia Chiuri continued her long-standing appreciation of graphic t-shirts by bringing back a brand classic from 2001. She put her twist on John Galliano’s “J’adore Dior” slogan top this season, placing the phrase on top of leather skirts and...

WHY BEAUTY BRANDS ARE BETTING BIG IN WOMEN’S SPORTS (Hypebae)

Glossier Whether it’s Sephora’s collaboration with the Toronto Tempo or Cameron Brink’s introduction as the face of Urban Decay, beauty brands are betting big in the world of sports. From Formula 1 to basketball, we’re starting to see these two sectors colliding — a decision, for many brand leaders, that is rooted in a belief that both industries share core values of self-expression, confidence and breaking boundaries. From empowering athletes to engaging with diverse audiences, the intersection of these universes is shifting perceptions and creating powerful conversations that go beyond conventional sponsorships. We spoke to industry executives like Charlotte Tilbury, Rachel Berg and Patrick O’Keefe to uncover why beauty is so invested in the sports space and how these collaborations empower the next generation of athletes.

AVAVAV’S SS25 COLLECTION TURNS OFFICE CORE ON ITS HEAD (Hypebae)

The Cabo San Lucas Villa Where Celebrities Love To Stay (ELLE UK)

If you were to close your eyes and imagine the picture-perfect holiday destination, chances are you’d be dreaming of Cabo San Lucas. Located on the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, it was only in the 1980s that it first opened an airport and started attracting affluent American tourists, who came here for its untouched white sands and year-round sunshine. Fast-forward to today and it attracts over three million visitors a year, an increasing number of whom are seeking the utmost in luxury – a private, beachfront Cabo villa. According to the Los Cabos Tourism Board, there has been a 30% increase in luxury villa bookings over the past five years, no doubt influenced by the Hollywood set.

The Complete Backstory of the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Collection (W Magazine)

Clockwise from top left: Takashi Murakami’s ‘The World of Sphere,’ 2003; Takashi Murakami with Alma bag, 2003; a young Murakami with toys; Paris Hilton in 2004, carrying a bag from the original collaboration. In 2003, before Phoebe Philo became a fashion deity, Hedi Slimane turned to womenswear, and The Row redefined haute minimalism, there was one designer whose ability to read the culture stood out like a diamond tiara at a stoop sale: Marc Jacobs. Jacobs was then six years into his role as artistic director at Louis Vuitton. If any uncertainty lingered that an American enfant terrible—Jacobs had been fired from Perry Ellis for designing his now beloved “Grunge” collection—was qualified to steer one of France’s premier leather goods brands to global...
