Loewe welcomes the new Paula's Ibiza collection
We all love wearable fun, which is exactly what Loewe's Paula's Ibiza collection has been introduced to do. For the Loewe Paula's Ibiza 2022 collection, Jonothan Anderson is musing on hedonism.
"Ibiza is the island of escapism; a parallel world where everything is possible. Different generations have escaped here in a quest for personal freedom, making the identity of the place richly layered." He notes in a press release. "Each summer LOEWE Paula’s Ibiza allows me to explore one of these layers. Right now, I am thinking of Ibiza as an endless party destination."
Lensed by Grey Sorrenti, the collection encapsulates hedonism, partying, moments of electricity, and a quintessential energy synonymous with Ibiza.

Assembly Label is one of the Australian brands bringing more sustainable practices into the fold with the announcement that
this Autumn will see them introduce a highly anticipated second Re-Worn capsule collection, which, for the first time, will also be available to shop online.
The capsule collection comes in strictly limited numbers and includes a selection of core basics including denim, tees, linen pieces and knitwear from past seasons. All of these pieces were returned by the previous owners through Assembly Label’s much loved Re-Worn program and have been carefully laundered and repaired.
Moët Hennessy announces the Australian launch of Volcán De Mi Terra Tequila
While not exclusively fashion, we'll always have our ears pricked when a new tequila comes to town. Moët Hennessy's Volcan is among one of an incredibly small number of tequilas with its own distillery, which sits at the base of the volcano and is home to a distinctive distilling process that marries history and tradition with innovation.
Created in 2017, Volcan de Mi Tierra was born from a strong entrepreneurial partnership, combining the Gallardo family’s passion for its homeland and deep roots in Mexico, together with Moët Hennessy’s commitment to craftmanship and luxury branding.
