GENERATION GUCCI images courtesy of Gucci Milan, 4 December 2025 — Generation Gucci unfolds as a lookbook shot by Demna, envisioned as an archive-inspired show that never took place. The project reflects his ongoing exploration of Gucci’s visual and historical codes across decades, merging multiple eras into a single aesthetic story. It offers an early glimpse of Demna’s perspective on the House ahead of his full debut in February. The collection opens with lightweight tailoring in archival silk faille, developed to feel time-worn. Womenswear pieces close with discreet clasps in place of buttons, from two-piece suits with legging-fit trousers to the definitive Gucci pencil skirt. Minimalist jeans are constructed without seams, with invisible pockets and concealed closures. Silk travel suits channel pyjama-like ease, while surfer wetsuits inspire technical mocknecks and a sculpted leather bodycon jacket. Outerwear appears weightless and tactile: coats crafted from strips of shearling, silk, goat hair, and feathers, intricately linked over sheer bases. The party wardrobe leans into lingerie codes — silk blousons, draped miniskirt sets, and fluid gowns in jersey and chiffon. 70s and 90s signatures are reinterpreted through racer jackets with the Web stripe, sliced Double G belt buckles, head-to-toe leather and suede, and equestrian-print silk ensembles referencing heritage scarves. Footwear emphasises sharp silhouettes: Valigeria-inspired ballerinas return in men’s sizing, while loafers gain the featherlight feel of dance shoes. Stilettos feature cushioned footbeds and seamless sculpted heels, and classic loafers dotted with metal spikes echo personalised heirlooms. Bags focus on modern versatility. The Lunetta Phone+ bag in monogram canvas and chainmail accommodates everyday essentials. The Jackie 1961 appears in a compact rectilinear shape or as a magnified soft calfskin model, while the Dionysus evolves into a sharper, more angular silhouette. This release also marks the introduction of Spalt PR as Gucci’s new press representative in Sweden. 

KALA BOWLS – Design by Monica Förster Design Studio for ZANAT photo courtesy of Monica Förster Design Studio Kala Bowls are a collection of hand-carved sculptural objects created by Monica Förster Design Studio. Inspired by the organic flow of nature—water cascading off a cliff, the curve of a leaf, the first bloom of spring — their form symbolizes rebirth and renewal. Named after the Calla Lily (“Kala” in Bosnian), each bowl is carved from a single piece of wood, transforming natural material into functional art. The collection is defined by its carved internal grooves, expressive side cutouts, and fully textured surfaces that elevate the bowls into true sculptural pieces. Monica Förster, founder and creative director of her Stockholm-based studio, is one of Sweden’s most internationally recognized designers, with work featured in museums worldwide. As Creative Director of Zanat, she has also helped evolve the company’s historic carving techniques, which are now inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

VANBRUUN Introduces a New Jewellery Collaboration with Childhood  images courtesy of VANBRUUN VANBRUUN presents a new and deeply purposeful jewellery collection created together with the World Childhood Foundation. The launch marks a significant moment for the Swedish fine jewellery house, which turns its craftsmanship toward a cause rooted in protection, dignity and the right to a safe childhood. The collection is inspired by the wonder of early memories, the feeling of safety and the small gestures that shape our first experiences of care. Central to the collection is the Hand in Hand pendant, a delicate interpretation of a child’s hand resting in an adult’s. It is a symbol that quietly communicates trust, closeness and the instinct to protect. The charms and adjustable chains are offered both individually and as curated combinations in 18k white, yellow and rose gold, as well as 950 platinum. Each piece carries its own visual language. Playful icons such as a mushroom or cherry sit alongside classic motifs including a heart and a four-leaf clover. Personal letters allow wearers to build their own narrative, while a selection of enamel details and diamonds, available in both synthetic and natural options, adds a layer of refinement. The collaboration is shaped by a shared ambition to create not only objects of beauty but also pathways to safer childhoods. Through the launch, VANBRUUN commits a minimum donation of SEK 500,000 to the World Childhood Foundation, supporting its work to prevent sexual abuse against children and strengthen protective environments globally. The collection is available on vanbruun.com and in VANBRUUN’s showrooms.

Louis Vuitton Illuminates the Season with Le Voyage des Lumières text Ulrika Lindqvist photography Jonas Lindstroem This holiday season, Louis Vuitton invites us on a luminous journey with Le Voyage des Lumières, a cinematic campaign that captures the enchantment of winter through the spirit of travel, light, and craftsmanship. Directed and photographed by Jonas Lindstroem, the film opens in Asnières, the birthplace of Louis Vuitton’s legendary workshops. From the emblematic Malle Courrier trunk, a single lantern takes flight, its warm glow leading viewers on an ethereal passage across Parisian rooftops and into a dreamscape painted with the hues of the aurora borealis. As the journey unfolds, moments of intimacy and wonder emerge: friends gathered around a campfire for a game of backgammon, music resonating from the Kennel trunk, and a couple finding quiet romance beside a frozen lake. The voyage returns to Paris at the Pont Neuf, where countless lanterns rise into the night sky, illuminating the city in a breathtaking celebration of light and togetherness. Anchored by innovation and heritage, the campaign even pays homage to the Music Trunk, symbolizing Louis Vuitton’s continued dialogue between craft and creativity. The brand’s exquisite Color Blossom and Damier jewelry collections also make luminous appearances, reflecting the artistry and precision that define the Maison. Le Voyage des Lumières is, ultimately, a testament to Louis Vuitton’s enduring spirit, a voyage through dreams and light, celebrating the magic of the holidays.

The campaign captures Komatsu’s natural elegance against snow-covered peaks, highlighting the refined yet functional spirit of the collection. Introduced in 2018, COCO NEIGE is CHANEL’s line dedicated to winter sports, designed to merge performance with sophistication. Combining the brand’s signature codes with technical precision, the collection bridges city and mountain aesthetics. “I love how the collection is not bound by stereotypes and can be worn freely on the slopes and in the city,” says Nana Komatsu. The pieces explore a palette of frosted pink, luminous ecru, pine green, deep navy, and iridescent black, offering a contemporary take on alpine style. Key looks include puffer jackets in technical fabrics, cashmere sweaters with delicate details, and tweed suits reinterpreted in vibrant tones. Accessories such as earmuffs, sunglasses, pocket belts, and sheepskin boots add practical yet playful elements to the outfits. Throughout the campaign, the collection expresses the idea of freedom through elegance, where comfort and beauty coexist naturally. “This collection expresses inner strength balanced with comfort and beauty,” Komatsu notes, reflecting the modern interpretation of Gabrielle Chanel’s vision of independence and movement.
