Louis Vuitton Launches LV SKI As winter approaches, Louis Vuitton introduces LV SKI, a sophisticated collection that seamlessly merges high-performance design with the Maison’s timeless elegance. The new line embodies the spirit of movement, adventure, and the art of travel — elevated for the snowy season. From technical outerwear to luxurious après-ski styles, LV SKI offers a versatile wardrobe crafted from cutting-edge materials. Ultra-light, waterproof fabrics bring warmth and flexibility to graphic coats and salopettes, while quilted recycled nylon jackets echo the House’s signature Malletage motif. Norwegian-inspired knits and Monogram-stitched sweaters are paired with sequin-embroidered denim, evoking the sparkle of snow-covered peaks. Louis Vuitton’s iconic leather goods also receive a winter makeover. The Alma, Speedy, Petite Malle, and OnTheGo appear in Monogram Miroir canvas — now in silver and a new coppery tone inspired by 19th-century metal trunks. For a cozier touch, merino shearling enriches pieces like the Capucines and Neverfull Inside Out BB, accompanied by the Teddy Muff, a playful hybrid between bag and handwarmer. The look is completed with accessories in soft neutrals and plush Monogram-textured textiles, wrapping wearers in effortless luxury. The Louis Vuitton LV SKI collection for women will be available in stores and online from October 17, 2025.

Vaarnii 2025: Fredrik Paulsen’s 001 Collection in Black Finnish design house Vaarnii continues its exploration of pine with a new black-stained edition of the 001 series by Fredrik Paulsen, the 001 Stool and 001 Dining Chair unveiled at Nordiska Galleriet in Stockholm. Known for transforming pine from an everyday material into something architectural and refined, Vaarnii treats each product as a study in honesty and craft. The deep black finish has been developed through a long, considered process with Finnish artisans, designed to enhance rather than conceal the wood’s natural grain. The result is a black that feels alive, subtle, warm, and tactile revealing the pine’s rich character beneath the surface. A final oil-based lacquer seals and protects, giving the pieces a lasting presence. With this launch, Vaarnii once again proves that true sophistication lies in material integrity, finding modern expression within one of nature’s most traditional woods.

HERMÈS BEAUTY – POUDRE ROCABAR For the 2025 festive season, Hermès Beauty presents the limited-edition Rocabar Silk Powder, created by Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauty. Inspired by the house’s emblematic Rocabar motif—originally a striped horse blanket from the 1920s—the powder translates this heritage design into intricate marquetry. The pattern, which has appeared on everything from fragrances to silk scarves, is reimagined in a compact featuring a finely drawn horse emerging from the motif. Five luminous shades with a rosy, sunlit undertone and light-reflecting mother-of-pearl particles create a warm, radiant finish. The silky, finely milled texture melts seamlessly into the skin, allowing for buildable intensity. It can be applied as a blush or swept lightly across the face for a sun-kissed glow. Rocabar Silk Powder will be available in limited quantities from November 2025 in selected Hermès stores worldwide.
