The week is wrapping up, and while we're mostly thinking about sipping a martini in the bath, we're also thinking about our favourite fashion moments from the week. This week, we have new releases in the bag department from Givenchy and Rimowa, and in fashion, Balenciaga and Ellery X Witchery are offering spring summer freshness. Below, are our favourite fashion moments from the week.
Balenciaga summer 2022 campaign
Balenciaga delivers their Summer 22 campaign, which transforms the themes of its presentation, Red Carpet into a virtual meta verse. Characters holding XX, Triplet, and Hourglass bags walk a computer-rendered red carpet wearing facsimiles of the collection, turning the photocall moment into a streaming game snapshot created with Parisbased artist Claudia Mate. 3D avatars made in the images of models Tommy Blue, Eugenie Bondurant, Marie-Agnès Diene, Abdou Diop, Zinedine El Ouazzani, Gwen Lu, Aki Nummela, Anania Orgeas, Hansi Schmidt, Minttu Vesala, and Inti Wang, who pose on the carpet, dressed in the season’s ready-to-wear, eyewear, jewellery, and footwear offerings.
Givenchy releases the Kenny handbag
Givenchy has released the Kenny handbag. A day to night offering that combines a bourse-style handbag enhanced with Matthew M. Williams' signature hardware details. Crafted from supple leather, the Kenny features intricate, rounded construction with distinctive hand-draped folds interspersed with G-Cube elements. Its graceful, feminine allure finds a counterpoint in double G-Cube chain straps as well as Givenchy's now-iconic padlock. Luxurious yet practical details include a shoulder piece also in soft calf leather and a discreet yet secure magnetic closure that fasten together.
Rimowa introduces Through The Lens
Together with four talented photographers from across the globe, RIMOWA celebrates life from behind the lens, encouraging each of us to reflect on the memories of past travels and feel inspired by the world we call home. New Horizon stories from Anouk Brouwer and Leeroy Kim take you to Tokyo and Los Angeles whilst Ilya Lipkin shares life on the go. Inspiration for Australian travellers getting back out into the world. A short film by Mees Peijnenburg shares the solo journey of a woman fully immersed in her surroundings and ready for what’s to come.
Ellery teams up with Witchery
Classic Australian retailer Witchery has launched its first ever designer collaboration with non other that Ellery. For the offering, Witchery has partnered with Kym Ellery to deliver a capsule collection that nods to Ellery's iconic brand DNA with the accessibility that Witchery offers.
Tod's introduces An Italian Light Life
For the Italian houses' newly released Spring Summer 2022 collection, Tod's reaffirms its link with the world of art, working closely with artists who are known best for their physical interaction with their materials. This season, the brand has worked with Carlota Guerrero to tell a story of her journey through the craftsmanship tools and the simulation of a virtual lab.
The collection, aptly titled An Italian Light Life, exudes a message of freedom and lightness while staying true to the brands core codes. Quality and construction are bound with elements of lightness and relaxation, offering the perfect Spring wardrobe staples.
