Fendi [IG] has popped into New York City for a holiday celebration of the Winter Capsule 2022 - 25th Anniversary Baguette Collection. Located at 90 Prince Street in Soho, the shop will be open until December 23.
Created by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, the baguette bag became a phenom attached to Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘Sex and the City’, who famously said “This is not a bag—it’s a Baguette.”
In addition to providing color inspo, the LVMH Tiffany & Co brand was brought into the anniversary celebration to provide diamond baguettes for the Fendi baguettes. The constant cross-pollination of the LVMH brands always adds an extra bit of verve to these events.
The Versace [IG] Holiday 2022 Campaign stays true to Versace's deep roots in theater and the arts. Key inspiration comes from the 'Versace Teatro' books—collections of essays, and costume and stage design sketches from Gianni Versace created in 1987 and 1992.
For this year's campaign, Versace worked in collaboration with Franco Maria Ricci[IG], the art books publisher of the original 'Versace Teatro' books.

Next door, AOC features the gift items with more obvious connections to the Andy Warhol Foundation.
Luxury jeweler and gift-creator Tiffany & Co. shares holiday-loving images from its 2022 campaign, Hailey Bieber, model, talent, and businesswoman, plays host in a campaign celebrating Tiffany’s deep artistic roots with American visual artist Andy Warhol.

Christopher John Rogers brought his sophisticated, unique color and pattern sense to his Resort 2023 collection. He consistently creates vibrant, edgy looks that push the envelope but never in a clownish way. Even when Rogers adds volume, the body is not lost.
Instead Rogers wraps his clients in statement-making designs for powerhouse personalities.
In these key pieces from the Christopher John Rogers [IG] Resort 2023 collection, known as Collection 10, model Lara Menezes is lensed by César Buitrago [IG].
The designer is also working now in the furniture space, with a new chair line with Irish workshop Orior. See the designer’s IG.
American actor Diana Silvers and British actor Damson Idris celebrate A Simple Gesture: PRADA Holiday 2022 Collection with a new campaign focused on the unopened Prada gift box. Moving to the top level of the campaign, we acknowledge the unique Prada aesthetic whether in luxe fashion pieces for women and men, games, homewares and — of course — the handbag.
David Sims [IG] photographs the campaign, with creative direction by Ferdinando Verderi [IG].
While we associate the campaign’s silvery blue mood with the sea, let’s also remember that Hanukkah begins Sunday, December 18 this year and ends on December 26.
Whether she intended to make a subliminal statement or not in the Tory Burch Holiday 2022 Campaign, I appreciate blue in this moment. It’s refreshingly ecumenical, when brands are exploring exactly what traditions mean within the context of today’s world.
Hands down, Ralph Lauren has no peer in this realm of recasting the truth of the American experience. But Tory Burch is traveling on the same moonbeam — with an added emphasis on women’s lives and achievements. I love her for that long and sincere contribution to telling women’s stories.
Kanye West and his desire to rip America apart as a MAGA lover — and now Hitler, too — has gotten people up off the sidelines.
That would NOT be AOC, btw. We are never on the sidelines, when the focus is stopping hate.
Adut’s five-year rise from a South Sudan, Australian Refugee to REAL supermodel status is well known by now. Being a Global Ambassador for Estee Lauder, announced in June 2021, goes a long way in wearing the real-deal supernodel crown.
Adut’s career was launched when she closed the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2018 show in Paris. Many young people in fashion — or outsiders with lots to say — think the industry only turned towards models of color post-George Floyd and the rise of BLM.
This is not true. Demands for change and the topic of racism in the fashion industry was much discussed and acted upon before the brutal murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis.
Manifesto Magazine #88 October 2022 focuses on a select group of designer collections and Bottega Veneta is one of them. Models Momo Ndiaye and Xia Yuancen pose in key pieces from the Fall 2022 collection in a fashion story styled by Thea Lewis-Yates. London-based photographer Georgia Devy Smith [IG] captures the duo in a new again Bottega Veneta described by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy in this way:
“The idea was to bring back energy, a silhouette that really expressed motion, because Bottega is a bag company, so you go somewhere, you don’t stay home. This collection basically is a journey,” he continued. “There’s many characters, they all have places to go, they feel quite free.”
For Fall 2022, Tom Ford added a new eco-conscious design to his timepiece collection with the 004 series, a slender new model with universal appeal to men and women.
The Swiss-made watch is housed in a 27mm x 48.5mm case in either black and white. It, and its braided strap, are made from 100 percent recycled plastic reclaimed from the ocean.
French luxury powerhouse Chanel shares its Cruise 2023 campaign starring rising French model Loli Bahia and top model Vittoria Ceretti. Bahia first walked the fall 2020 Louis Vuitton show when she was still in high school.
The campaign, shot by Mikael Jansson [IG] pays tribute to Monaco and Karl Lagerdeld’s ties to the principality. Designer Virginie Viard highlights Monte Carlo’s cosmopolitan elegance, and glamour in her designs.
Coming on May 5 through July 16, 2023 ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’ will be on view — and the focus of — The Metropolitan Museum’s of Art’s Spring 2023 The Costume Institute Benefit [also known as The Met Gala®].

Iris Law [IG] steps out of a 1990s Versace moment — perhaps convening with the spirit of Gianni Versace himself. Wearing an iconic purple Versace dress with its draped neckline and iconic hardware-embellished straps, Iris Law fronts the new campaign for Versace’s ‘Dylan Purple’ fragrance.
Photographer Carlijn Jacobs [IG] captures the IMG model daughter of English actor Jude Law and English actress, producer and fashion designer Sadie Frost, married from 1997 to 2003.
