Fall/Winter 2024
Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2024-2025 collection just launched last month, paying homage to Nicolas Ghesquière’s ten-year anniversary with the label.
In a retrospection of sorts, the designer calls back to his signature silhouettes and style codes reimagined through contemporary, avant-garde pieces.
The collection was presented in the Cour Carrée at the Louvre. Exactly 10 years ago, Ghesquière previously launched his first collection for the label at the very same venue.
In Kenzo’s F/W collection, Nigo uses space travel as a metaphor for the cross-continental and multi-cultural message at the heart of his practice.
The collection features Japanese-infused elements, such as a kimono coat and a weave inspired by a Japanese wood print.
Meanwhile, at Versace, the F/W campaign is a spontaneous snapshot of the label’s tailored rebellion. Tailored lines are juxtaposed by luxurious fabric choices and disrupted with drape and print.
The collection also introduces Kleio, Versace’s new ultra-soft, pillow-like crossbody bag. In addition, its versatile style is perfect for transitioning from day to evening wear.
Then the brand’s Eros campaign, for its latest eau de parfum pour homme, featured movie star Channing Tatum. The actor is seen as the mythological God of love himself while acting as the face of the campaign.
“He is strong and determined and at the same time incredibly kind and charming. He is the modern Eros—celebrating love, power and dedication,” said Donatella Versace.
Mainstay Collections
These luxury labels are all about celebrating the pieces that have built their identity in these collections. For example, Jimmy Choo’s The Icons collection comprises select silhouettes that resonate deeply with the brand’s global community.
The striking and timeless designs include the Love, Azia, Bing, and Saeda shoes, alongside the Bon Bon handbag, which are all established signatures of the house.
Then at Tory Burch, the brand’s T Monogram Leather Collection features its signature bucket bags, mini totes, satchels, and mini barrel bags.
The collection also introduces a new crescent shoulder bag, exquisitely crafted in smooth-grain Italian leather with a Double T monogram.
Fendi has also revamped its classic By The Way Boston bag. The new version is relaxed while still elevated through the use of Selleria, which the brand has been using for nearly a century.
The bag also comes in three sizes (large, medium, and mini) and is now available worldwide and through the online shop.
Brand New Stores
Two luxury labels have opened brand new locations right here in the Philippines. The first is Versace’s new boutique in The Mall, NUSTAR Resort Cebu.
Spanning 192 square meters, the boutique’s interior has influences of Classicism, Italian craft, and contemporary flair, which are very in line with the house’s brand.
The boutique is now open with a full selection of ready-to-wear and accessories from the seasonal Versace Women’s and Men’s collection.
Then over in the Metro, Boggi Milano has opened its flagship store in Greenbelt 5. Shoppers can already explore its opening collection which is an ode to Italian style, contemporary taste, and Mediterranean appeal.
As a leading menswear retailer, the brand’s garments embody a vision of a new way of life for the contemporary man. The brand also ensures high quality fabrics in their comfortable and versatile clothes.
