Rose Mercier is for Women to Walk on the Moon

October 11, 2021

Rose Mercier had a dream, for women to have their chance to walk on the moon, and with that came the birth of three new luxary heels. With three new extraordinary shoes with a heel made from moon rock, Mercier has finally given women the chance to take one small step for women, one giant leap for womankind. To be exact, each pair of shoes features a stiletto heel made using genuine meteorites from the moon, 1.6 oz of moon rocks. The body of the shoe is designed and crafted by the iconic Massaro House shoemakers.

Mercier is inspired by the moon and its embodiment of the divine feminine. In honor of that femininity, each shoe is named after the Moon Goddess in Roman mythology. This first heavenly bodies collection is made to order with just 52 pairs available, corresponding with the number of years since man first set foot on the moon. Since each shoe is handcrafted, every pair will be one-of-one, adorned with a serial number similar to a work of art.

Avavav SS27: Quiet Objects

September 29, 2026

Avavav's SS27 collection sees creative director Beate Skonare Karlsson exploring fashion as objects, treating garments as pieces of sculpture. Rather than submitting to the constant cycle of reinvention that comes with following trends, this collection has the brand's core identity developing more meaningfully and slowly.

"I think of it as almost building a family. I'm not interested in erasing everything and starting over every six months," said Karlsson. "I want to find forms that feel like they belong to us, then let them evolve and introduce new ones around them. Over time, they start to build a world of their own."

The collection features a muted tonal colour palette, which is broken up by bright red colour-blocked pieces. Unconventional structures become the pleated canvas for these colours. One particular silhouette, an almost chandelabra-like silhouette, became a central motif, being placed in juxtaposition to heavily textured knitted and woven materials.

Gucci's Demna Debuts The Store Show

September 28, 2026

The Store Show, Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, debuted on Friday in Milan with a star-studded audience, showcasing creative director Demna's personal vision for Gucci. The show features sharp shoulders and fitted silhouettes, colorful smoky eyes, and horse girl chic with ever-rebellious aristocratic undertones.

Demna became creative director of Gucci in 2025, coming off a ten-year stint at Balenciaga. His first collection with Gucci, La Famiglia, was defined by extravagant gowns, skimpy and sequined mini-dresses, huge fur coats, and a respect for the masculine-feminine. With The Store Show, he surrenders to androgyny and blurs the lines between high fashion and pop culture. A case study on bourgeois style highlighted with a certain sexuality that bridges the gap between the respective men's and women’s collections.

Demna takes us back to Gucci’s roots— a humble beginning at Savoy Hotel in London–with his own personal refinement 100 years later. His fusion of style in this collection is not coincidental. After a year at Gucci, researching and understanding what it is exactly that the House stands for, he promises a space that he envisions is true to Gucci. A space of endless inspiration, assured possibility, and unlikely connection.
