"Look up, you never know what unusual finishing touches you will spy! I'm smitten with these charming shepherdess-head shutter stops that I spotted at our holiday gîte in Charente-Maritime, France, earlier this month."
The pop-up is structured as a composed interior with garments, furniture, artworks, and editorial elements, allowing each to contribute to a unified reading of the brand.
"The metro and murals are so cultural to Brooklyn," Melezhik said. "The inspiration for this design was generally that Brooklyn itself is very well known for its metro systems. It's one of the best metro systems in the US."
An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery, it is a symbol of commitment. Couples are moving away from mass‑produced designs, preferring rings that capture their unique journey.
Craft is often defined as skill in making things by hand, but this interpretation is being challenged by AI. Craft transcends physical interaction; historical figures like Mozart and Beethoven exemplify mastery without traditional methods.
The Beams Boy x Timex Original Camper Ring Watch draws its lineage from two points in history: the 1920s tradition of converting women's timepieces into jewelry, and the 1990s ring watch trend that briefly made a cult appearance before fading out again.
Brittany Antoinette Wilson's dad has been a collector for over 30 years, starting with comics and expanding to baseball caps and sneakers. His sneaker collection, now around 500 pairs, reflects his passion for fashion and appearance.
"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.
Each piece begins with used coffee pods collected from my community, materials that were never meant to last beyond a single use. Before any design work begins, the pods must be cleaned, sanitized, flattened, cut, folded, and shaped entirely by hand. They arrive dented, stained, and inconsistent, carrying the marks of their previous life. Learning how to work with those imperfections, rather than erasing them, was one of my first challenges.
This is just one item in a display that looks at how wood can be turned into all sorts of things that don't look or feel like wood at all. It's all because wood is a renewable resource and could be a viable replacement for plastics and other oil-based materials.
For years, innovation in earbuds centered on sound quality, battery life, and noise cancellation, while aesthetics converged on a single in-ear silhouette. Today, designers and brands are challenging that orthodoxy, reimagining earbuds as jewelry-adjacent objects that sit visibly on the ear, more ear cuff than invisible tech. The idea of elevating earbuds into luxury objects is not new. Over the past decade, bespoke jewelers have produced gold-plated AirPods, diamond-encrusted headphones, and one-off couture audio pieces intended as collector's items or status symbols.
The TiLink is a 24-in-1 titanium bracelet that doubles as a watch strap, creating this interesting yin-yang of capabilities. Compatibility spans across all watches with lug widths between 18-26mm, which means the TiLink can attach to the Apple Watch as well as Garmin, Samsung, Google Pixel, and analog watches. One side tracks your biometrics and messages, the other has screwdrivers, wrenches, a magnifier, and a fire starter machined from aerospace-grade titanium.
It's not a multi-thousand pound handbag from Hermes that best captures the new era of It bags, but a 149 tote from John Lewis. Launched this season, it's deeper (45cm) and taller (33cm) than your average handbag, and comes loaded with good intentions. It's able to hold your packed lunch, flask and book, as well at a push as your gym kit.
The earliest jewellery ever discovered wasn't gold or gemstone at all, but fish bones. In prehistoric times, hunters wore bones, teeth and claws from their kills as talismans of luck and prowess. For Italian shoe maestro Giuseppe Zanotti - famous for his sculptural, jewel-encrusted heels - this idea of turning humble scraps into ornamentation has long been second nature; during a seaside dinner in 2004, Zanotti sketched a fish skeleton on a tablecloth.
What if I took my design lens and built out my essentials capsule for the Everlane customer? I felt like that would be a really amazing opportunity for me to introduce myself as a designer to an audience outside of EB Denim.
In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.
While Chloe Zhao's Hamnet has been nominated for eight Academy Awards including best picture, for many it's a tiny silver hoop earring worn by Paul Mescal in his portrayal of William Shakespeare that steals the show. Worn in his left ear lobe, the barely-there hoop has people fixated online. Begging my boyfriend to get a tiny hoop earring too, reads one post dedicated to the accessory. I cried for over half of Hamnet, but Paul Mescal's slutty little earring made me feel conflicted, reads another.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds that are created in a laboratory, rather than being mined from the Earth. Using advanced technology, scientists replicate the natural conditions in which diamonds form beneath the Earth's crust. The result? A diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a natural diamond but with a far less significant environmental impact.
