Marni F/W 21 Vol.2 to Hit Stores Soon

July 07, 2021

In February of this year, brands were once again faced with putting together online shows to debut their Fall/Winter collections. For Marni’s creative director Francesco Risso, this would be his second collection designed during a lockdown. From the looks that resulted, it is clear that the loneliness and separation caused by the pandemic instilled a very relatable feeling in Risso — a longing for romanticism.

The collection, developed almost entirely by hand, draws inspiration from classical dressmaking. Whimsical dresses and puffer scarf wraps are paired with bags so oversized it looks like they are straight out of a fantasy realm. The classic lace up sneaker is taken to a new dimension with a pointed toe and heel, and crochet knit sets offer an elevated sense of coziness. “This Marni collection took shape as a romantic ode to dressmaking at its most tactile and intimate," says Risso in the show’s notes. "Romanticism feels more powerful than any form of protest: a way to delve into reality with another gaze and another touch, finding another meaning to the everyday," he adds.

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 25 Menswear by Pharrell Williams

June 02, 2025

Louis Vuitton takes us on a journey that embarks on a cross-continental cruise from Paris to Miami, seeing the journey as the destination. From cast-off, through the voyage to the formal arrival this collection traces the recreational routes of the dandy dressing core to the House Men's proposal through a contemporary lens. For the modern traveler who vacations via yacht and sports car, respects tradition, as well as the evolution of dress codes.

In its transition across the sea, it illustrates the LVERS philosophy at the heart of the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme binding together its values and global community from Paris to Miami and everywhere in between. Through these chapters, we explore Dandy downtime, The voyage and The destination.

The Cruise to Resort adapts dandy's voyage from the sea to the sand, saluting tailoring and classic sportswear through the transit wardrobe. In the second chapter, the arrival wardrobe gets ready for the beach and pool culture that Miami is known for. Taking inspiration from naval codes and the textures of plush ship's interiors, Jazz Age silhouettes are revitalised within this collection.
