Michael Kors SS21: Urban Romance

September 16, 2021

That warm fuzzy feeling you get when infatuated with someone is how designer Michael Kors feels about the bustling streets of New York. From the different languages that you hear when you walk by others to the smells of food from different cultures, the city is always keeping us on our toes. The collection embodied love during the springtime showing at none other than Tavern on the Green in Central Park where love stories are being born each day.

Entertainer Ariana DeBose, performed as models glided through the runway like true New Yorkers. God’s Love We Deliver, a charity that is close to the designer’s heart was featured throughout the show and even had a piece that paid homage to it — a sleek cashmere sweater. This organization founded by Ganga Stone and Jane Best in 1985, makes meals that are medically tailored to people living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other illnesses in New York. When Michael Kors thinks of love the designer instantly thought of God’s Love We Deliver as the perfect definition.

“I think we’re all ready to focus on the simple, powerful pleasures of love—romantic love, love for one another, love for the places that sustain us, which in my case is New York City,” says Michael Kors.

Faces, Fishbones & Soufflés: Schiaparelli SS25

May 01, 2025

Schiaparelli’s Spring–Summer 2025 accessories collection is led by the soft, slouchy Soufflé bag, which has a curved hobo shape and little gold charms that form a face on its handle. It comes in hand-spray-painted suede—turquoise fading into caramel—and in grained leather in sand, yellow, or black.

The line also includes bright red acetate sunglasses with a tiny keyhole detail at each temple, a fine wire necklace shaped like a fish skeleton with a pearl, and zebra-print Facebags decorated with enamel and brass “eyes, nose, and mouth”. Measuring Tape sandals in nude leather embroidered with gold add a playful twist, while sculptural bracelets and ribbon-style earrings echo the collection’s anatomical motifs. Together, these pieces blend art and fashion in a bold, surreal way—exactly what Schiaparelli does best.

Jacquemus x Timberland's "La Bateau"

April 23, 2025

Originally launched in 1978 Timberland’s iconic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe—affectionately dubbed “La Bateau” is getting a bold revamp through a new collaboration with French fashion house Jacquemus. Trading out their iconic “construction yellow,” synonymous with their brand and their famous Original Yellow Boot™, for designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’ signature “banana yellow.” Merging rugged New England grit and romantic French Riviera playfulness. The design is effortless, energetic, and just the right amount of unexpected.

Keeping the aspects that have made it a staple for decades, the Timberland & Jacquemus 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe keeps its premium leather, chunky lug sole, soft lining, cotton laces, but introduces new details like metal lace keepers and squared-off eyelights giving it a more Paris than Portsmouth edge.

The design is stepping far from boat decks and into wardrobes around the world, dropping April 23rd online and select stores.
