Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami
Two decades after their iconic collaboration, Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami are rekindling their creative partnership with a fresh re-edition collection, featuring the beloved It bags alongside remastered versions of Murakami’s anime short films Superflat Monogram and Superflat First Love. The collection debuted on 1st January with global pop-ups, while both films will be available online, including a special screening at Cinema Spazio Etoile in Rome.
2025 Colour Trends: Bold is Back
Fashion is leaving minimalism behind for 2025, embracing bold hues like emerald green, true red, and tangerine. While Pantone’s Mocha Mousse is the official colour, runways dazzled with vibrant tones that scream maximalism. Designers like Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello and Prada’s Raf Simons showcased eye-popping colour-blocking, while others like Ferragamo’s Maximilian Davis and Brandon Maxwell balanced bold and subdued hues, proving 2025 is all about fun, lavish colour.
