This week in fashion, the spotlight shone brightly on unexpected collaborations and daring debuts. From the 20th anniversary of the latest Gucci Horsebit Fine Jewellery campaign celebrating equestrian elegance, to Glossier's touch down at MECCA stores across Australia and New Zealand. We were enraptured by Prada's FW24 campaign starring Hunter Schafer, and stoked to hear that Lucy Folk would be commencing an immensely special pop-up in Mallorca.
Onitsuka Tiger are celebrating their 75th anniversary in Paris and Tokyo, and Ariana Grande was named the new face of Swarovski. But in between it all, there's still more to lap up. So read on for all the fashion moments you might have missed this week.
Glossier officially lands down under
Glossier officially is in stock at MECCA stores across Australia and New Zealand as of Tuesday – one of the retailer's biggest new brand launches of the year. Emily Weiss, the Glossier founder herself, was in Sydney to celebrate the occasion (we even got the chance to speak with her IRL last week), and on opening day, MECCA reported they sold one of the brand's cult products – Balm Dot Com – every sixty seconds. The core Glossier range, including their signature fragrance Glossier You, is available in stores and online now.
