While the headlines may have been dominated by Huate Couture week’s grand spectacles, a string of smaller yet significant moments unfolded across the industry. Kim Jones received France’s highest honour, the Légion d'Honneur, in recognition of his transformative work at Dior Men. Chaumet unveiled Chaumet Bamboo, a high jewellery collection infused with natural symbolism, while Roger Vivier paid tribute to Parisian landmarks with its Pièce Unique SS25 collection. Elsewhere, David Beckham made a return to bodywear campaigns for BOSS, and Felicity Aston embarked on a Rolex-backed Arctic expedition to document disappearing ice. On the streets of Sydney, Onitsuka Tiger threw a rock-fuelled launch party for Denivita, and in Paris, Christian Louboutin’s Miss Z debuted as the brand’s next great red-soled icon.
