Dior Introduces the Diorly Bag

image courtesy Dior Dior Introduces the Diorly Bag Dior presents the Diorly bag, a new silhouette by Jonathan Anderson shaped with a freer, more relaxed attitude. Supple and soft, it carries a subtle vintage touch through its construction and fine finishing. The bag appears in two materials, smooth leather traced with cannage lines, or delicate suede,  each one highlighting texture in its own way. An adjustable shoulder strap, finished with a metallic “Dior,” lets it fall naturally against the body. Available in medium and large, the Diorly is embossed with the house signature and finished with an interior zipped pocket and double flap. A practical companion with an easy elegance.

Tiffany & Co. Introduces the Enamel Watch

Tiffany & Co. Introduces the Enamel Watch Tiffany & Co. revisits one of its most storied crafts with the Enamel watch, a new timepiece shaped by the vivid paillonné enamel Jean Schlumberger revived in the 1960s. Three variations make their debut, each framed by a rotating ring of Tiffany Blue® or white enamel and the collection’s signature cross‑stitch motif in 18k gold. The dial is a study in light: a diamond‑set center encircled by enamel that shifts with every movement of the wrist. The stitches mark the hours, but never stay still — a quiet, playful gesture that echoes Schlumberger’s approach to design. Presented in a 36 mm case of white or yellow gold, the watch is produced in limited quantities. The craft behind it is meticulous. Paillonné enamel requires layers of gold or silver leaf, translucent color and repeated firings to achieve its depth and radiance. The rotating ring alone demands 65 hours of work. Diamonds are snow‑set across the case and dial, creating an almost continuous surface of reflection. Matching alligator straps in Tiffany Blue® or white complete the piece, while a high‑jewelry version pairs the enamel with a full pavé bracelet in 18k white gold. A modern tribute to a near‑forgotten craft, the Enamel watch carries Tiffany & Co.’s legacy forward; luminous, intricate, and unmistakably its own.

Dior Introduces the Crunchy Bag

Dior Introduces the Crunchy Bag For Spring–Summer 2026, Dior unveils the Crunchy bag, a new silhouette shaped by Jonathan Anderson and defined by a contemporary take on the cannage motif. The leather is the first thing you notice: slightly crunchy, subtly crinkled, catching the light through its three‑dimensional texture. Dense yet supple, it creates an interplay of reliefs that gives the bag its name — and its attitude.  Soft in appearance with a semi‑gloss finish, the Crunchy comes in two sizes and a refined palette that moves from black and brown to pastel yellow and deep green. Gold handles offer multiple ways to carry it, from hand to shoulder to crossbody, while a delicate “Dior” signature slips between the chain eyelets. A study in contrast and ease, the Crunchy bag arrives in stores on March 12, 2026. Image courtesy Dior

Levi’s® Introduces “Behind Every Original”

Levi’s® Introduces “Behind Every Original” Image Courtesy Levi’s® Levi’s® launches a new global campaign, “Behind Every Original,” celebrating the people who move culture forward, this time from an unexpected point of view. Debuting during the Super Bowl with the film Backstory, directed by Kim Gehrig, the brand shifts the spotlight to the backside, the most iconic angle of Levi’s® denim. The film brings together a cast of Originals,  from Doechii and ROSÉ to Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander, Questlove and Stefanie Giesinger, alongside everyday figures who shape culture in quieter ways. Each appears only from behind, sharing their story through movement, attitude and the unmistakable details of Levi’s® jeans. Shot across Los Angeles, Oklahoma City and London, the production leans into authenticity, casting real cowboys, construction workers, climbers and youth. The soundtrack, James Brown’s “Get Up Offa That Thing,” infuses the film with energy, echoing the campaign’s celebration of motion and self‑expression. Following the Super Bowl, the campaign unfolds through short reveal films, social and digital storytelling, and in‑store experiences. Photography captures the cast in raw, behind‑the‑scenes moments; stepping into their denim, stepping into their story. “Behind Every Original” continues Levi’s® long relationship with culture, spanning music, sport and fashion. From classic silhouettes to custom pieces created for the cast, the styling reflects the brand’s legacy and the individuality of each Original.

An interview with Wood Wood’s Brian SS Jensen on their AW26 collection

An interview with Wood Wood’s Brian SS Jensen on their AW26 collection text by Ella Nelson For over two decades, Wood Wood’s Magnus Carstensen, Karl-Oskar Olsen, and Brian SS Jensen have built and positioned the Copenhagen-based brand as a defining force within the European street couture scene. With a clear nod to the outdoors—while remaining true to the brand’s contemporary streetwear sophistication—Wood Wood’s AW26 collection, titled ‘Field Studies’, presents a polished selection of outerwear, hefty knits, layered pieces, and select accessories, seamlessly merging functionality with fashion. Drawing inspiration from rural Norway and the Scottish Highlands, the collection’s color palette is dominated by shades of brown and forest green, punctuated by pops of pink and orange. In conversation with Odalisque, Brian SS Jensen, co-founder and creative director of Wood Wood, discusses the starting point of the AW26 collection, its hidden references, and the brand’s continued comeback.  Image Courtesy Wood Wood Please tell us about how the AW26 collection came to life. What inspired it, what did the creative process look like, and how does the installation reflect those ideas?  The collection was inspired by a lot of different things; I think the first spark came from a conversation about the ‘Hessdalen lights’ – this strange light phenomena that happens in rural Norway, which attracts curious visitors from all over the world. We thought a lot about the friction that can occur between outsiders and locals in these small, remote communities. The Scottish highlands became another touchpoint. We wove these different references into a loose narrative that helped guide us through the process, giving the collection a sense of place and story without being too literal about it.    Which key elements played a role in shaping the AW26 collection?  The fundamentals: shape, texture, colours, prints.    Are there any specific pieces, details, or ideas you’d like to highlight from this collection?  I really like some of the heavier wool and leather outerwear pieces. There’s a weight and substance that feels right for the themes we were exploring.  What challenges did you face in creating the collection, and what are you most proud of? I’m generally quite happy about this one. It always feels like a battle to finish a new collection, but when I look at all the pieces together now, I believe we landed in a good place.  What do you hope audiences feel or walk away with after experiencing the AW26 showcase? I hope they will get a sense of the underlying stories that informed the collection. I don’t expect people to recognise or decode the specific references, nor do I really want them to, but hopefully it makes the individual pieces feel connected to a larger context.  How does this collection build on and strengthen the ongoing narrative of WOOD WOOD? Each season represents a new layer added to the brand. This collection is a reflection of our interests right now, but it’s also another chapter of a much bigger story.  Looking ahead, what’s next for WOOD WOOD?  The company has recently gone through a rather significant transformation which took a lot of time and hard work, but we are now in a strong position to build and move forward. I can’t say too much yet, but we are planning some exciting projects, and we have our 25th anniversary coming up next year!

The partnership connects handcrafted performance with precision engineering, beginning with the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team; a timepiece marking the watchmaker’s return to Formula 1®. Two worlds shaped by speed now move together.

Nordic Nest Brings Design History and Future Visions to Stockholm Design Days

Nordic Nest Brings Design History and Future Visions to Stockholm Design Days As part of the new Stockholm Design Days initiative, Nordic Nest steps outside the boundaries of traditional retail to present two curated public showcases exploring Scandinavian design from legacy to next generation. The focal point is a tribute to Verner Panton, one of modern design’s most influential voices, honored on his 100th anniversary with an exhibition of licensed works still in production today. Founded in 2002, Nordic Nest has steadily grown into a global destination for Scandinavian interiors, now reaching customers in more than 70 countries. What feels different this year is the company’s clear shift toward storytelling. Design is not only displayed, but framed in a broader cultural context, while remaining immediately accessible to those who wish to bring these pieces into their own homes. Celebrating Verner Panton at 100 Walking through the Verner Panton 100 showcase at Gallery Existens, it becomes evident how radical Panton’s vision once was and how current it still feels. His fearless exploration of color, form and materials helped define a new visual language in 20th century design. Decades later, his work continues to feel alive rather than archival. The exhibition gathers licensed pieces still in production through brands such as Montana, Louis Poulsen and &Tradition. There is something powerful about seeing designs that have not only survived but remained relevant enough to stay in production. It quietly reinforces the idea that true icons do not belong to a single era. Visitors can also access these pieces directly through Nordic Nest’s platform, allowing admiration to turn into ownership without friction. Icons of Today and Tomorrow Running alongside the Panton tribute is Icons of Today and Tomorrow, a showcase that asks an interesting question: how does a future classic begin? Featuring Montana, Louis Poulsen, &Tradition, Ferm Living and Flos, the exhibition pairs 2026 novelties with established designs across lighting, furniture and objects. The curation avoids the language of trends and instead focuses on longevity, material exploration and cultural relevance. Previewing upcoming collections in the same space as enduring pieces invites reflection on what makes a design last. It is less about what is new and more about what will matter. A New Format for Experiencing Design Nordic Nest refers to these spaces as editorial environments rather than retail settings, and that description feels accurate. They encourage conversation and contemplation, not just consumption. This approach follows a year of notable steps for the company, including a design dinner at Stockholm’s Nationalmuseum and the opening of its first physical store in Hamburg. What emerges is a brand positioning itself somewhere between curator, retailer and cultural mediator. As the Verner Panton 100 celebration illustrates, looking back at design history can be just as forward-looking as launching something new. Scandinavian design, in this context, feels less like a style and more like an evolving dialogue between past and future. Image Courtesy of Grand Relations
