Jonathan Anderson taps Dior’s three newest ambassadors: Mia Goth, Greta Lee and Mikey Madison for the reveal on Monday of the new Lady Dior handbag campaign.
Photographer David Sims [IG] shot the campaign at the Pavillon de Musique de la Comtesse du Barry, the reception space in Louveciennes built for Madame du Barry, the official mistress of King Louis XV. There’s definitely a sense of continuity between Anderson’s debut men’s show in June and this campaign for a truly iconic Lady Dior handbag.
Celine designer and artistic director Michael Rider shares a new Spring 2026 Campaign with a focus on bags. Four models — Boma Sunday, Kylie Young, Svetlana Lethelier and Victoria Blecher — are styled by Ewa Kluczenko in key pieces from The Garance, The Cabas New Luggage, The Besace Soft Triomphe and more collections.

“At Ralph Lauren, no one would accept that I was American—I was French to them,” the designer reflects. “And my whole life in Europe, I have always been the most American person in the room.”
Fashion editor and stylist Mirko De Propris and photographer Loreen Hinz [IG] create ‘Grounded visions, floating desires’, an accessories story created for Numéro Switzerland’s [IG] March 2025 Surrealism issue.
It’s easy to forget that this visual feast for hungry eyes is a focus on the CH Carolina Herrera brand's signature bags — specifically the newINITIALS INSIGNIA SOFT — presented in an array of jewel tones, metallics, and refined neutrals.
Carolina Herrera and the Business of Relationships
Because AOC just wrote about the enduring relationship between Carolina Herrera ‘Good Girl’ fragrance and supermodel-activist Karlie Kloss, the first thought with Edie is an affirmative ‘yes’. She belongs in this tribe, too. Today both women move in highly-monied circles but take their activist roots and credentials wherever they go.
In 2020 we might have thought that elitism was gone for good — a silly proposition given the nature of human history. A key brand concept going forward is a ‘humble’ elitism and both Edie and Karlie have it.
With riches come responsibilities and both women have accepted what should be expected of them as people of privilege — given their prolific talents, excellent values and access to capital. I mentioned this very concept yesterday regarding the new Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 campaign.
Named after the brand’s historic flagship boutique, opened by Mario Prada in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in 1913, the Prada Galleria [IG] bag is a true icon among luxury bags and in Prada world itself.
Leather flowers are abundant in the Fall 2024 Prada Galleria special edition bag, as symbols of renewal and timelessness.

Billie Eilish is back at Gucci and let’s applaud that move. Without question Billie is a bridge between the respective visions of the two creative directors — Alessandro Michele and now Sabato De Sarno.
For Gucci, Billie Eilish has teamed up on a greenish version of their iconic Horsebit 1955 bag. The new version is crafted from Demetra, a 75% plant-based, animal-free material that has been produced in Italy since 2021.
Gucci launched sneakers made of Demetra two years ago. The bags also use recycled ECONYL nylon made from regenerated ghost nets, carpets, and pre-consumer waste. Prada and Burberry were leaders in the development of ECONYL with products coming to market in 2019. Demetra is tanned in accordance with Gucci’s century-old standard practices.
LOEWE's unisex Squeeze Bag is named for its distinctive. supple, squishy handle. Please! This is a truly sensual, womanly bag for women, men and all other human bag lovers.
The very shape of the bag honors centuries of market traditions around the world, even though the LOEWE Squeeze Bag currently arrives in only two sizes: small and medium.
The chain features flexible mechanisms for customizable length, while interior pockets make room for your daily essentials. Some of these designs want their own display pedestal in the living room, as opposed to being stored in the closet.
BTS's J-Hope stars in his first campaign as a solo Louis Vuitton ambassador, rocking his dance moves in the new LV Keepall bag campaign. Vuitton, in their Keepall campaign announcement, described BTS as "21st-century pop icons," while emphasizing J-Hope's unique appeal.
Back in 1930, as international travel began to flourish, the need for a spacious, durable travel companion became apparent. In response to this demand, Louis Vuitton introduced the Keepall, a groundbreaking design that revolutionized the way people carried their belongings.
Members of 1930s cafe society constantly interacted with artists of all mediums, and J-Hope’s Louis Vuitton Keepall campaign projects a subdued but very hip elegance.
Let’s see how this next chapter with Pharrell Williams and Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton’s new Chairman and CEO evolves. It appears that the original or siblings of the original Keepall are about to bust out in an array of Olympic rings colors. ~ Anne
Supermodel Gigi Hadid fronts a new campaign breaking Thursday for Miu Miu’s matelassé in two styles — the already-iconic Wander, and the newly-debuted Arcadie — lensed by Steven Meisel. [The photographer now has a very quiet Official IG page posting older images.]
For the first time — after taking a huge leap on Lyst’s hottest brands list in 2022, over their mini skirt — Miu Miu has the second place position. Mothership Prada has the top slot in first quarter 2023, after replacing Gucci in fourth quarter 2022.
The Wander [pouch] and the newly debuted Arcadie [rectangle] style in the signature matelassé series offer great promise to become new “pillars” of the Miu Miu bag category, following the iconic history of Miu Miu’s Pocket.
In a new Spring 2023 campaign, Gucci celebrates the enduring style of its iconic Bamboo 1947 handbag. Supermodel Liu Wen is centerstage in images and video lensed by David Sims, with creative direction from Ezra Petronio & Lana Petrusevych./ Hair by Paul Hanlon; makeup by Thomas De Kluyver
The Gucci Bamboo 1947 handbag, originally known by its product number 0633, has a rich history that dates back to post-war Italy. In 1947, Europe was still recovering from the aftermath of World War II, and resources were scarce. Leather, a primary material used in fashion at the time, was in short supply, forcing designers to find alternative materials for their creations.
The Chanel 22 bag was first presented in the French luxury brand’s Spring-Summer 2022 Ready-to-Wear show. Today BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim steps into the spotlight as a Chanel ambassador, with her own Chanel 22 bag on her shoulder.
The Chanel 22 Bag campaign has rolled out in a sequence that also includes Lily-Rose Depp, Margaret Qualley and Whitney Peak, in three different settings: Los Angeles, Palm Springs and New York.
Regular Chanel contributors Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photographed Jennie Kim in Seoul, South Korea.
To AOC, the collages also tap into new visual imagery being unleashed in the rapidly emerging field of AI and its ability to create sophisticated visual composites.
For his second range of Louis Vuitton’s rolling luggage, Marc Newson utilized new technologies to ensure that weight was reduced while volume was maximized. The introduction of the thermo-fusing process and ultrasonic cutting techniques eliminated 95% of conventional stitching.
