Givenchy Fall/Winter 2022 presents a sweeping new sneaker design—the original TK-360+ for women. Originally developed by the brand’s Creative Director Matthew M. Williams for Spring/Summer 2022 menswear, the innovative style offers women a custom-molded shape, graphic grooves, and a timeless stretch knit upper that flows seamlessly into the sole. In this knit shoe, available in silver, violet, and celestial black, the sky’s the limit.

A first of its kind, the brand’s iconic beaded designs serve to elevate the everyday timepiece with classic beauty and sophistication.

The Southern California-based shoe brand Simple, and New York City-based outerwear company, The Arrivals, debuted a collaborative collection of innovative textiles, functional designs, and streamlined everyday wear. The forward-thinking brands, which both use low impact methods of production, offer a 90s skate culture aesthetic with new, contemporary expertise. In hues of sand and sun, the Simple Puffer winter jacket and Simple Shoe will take you from the east coast to the west in pure style and comfort.

Acqua di Parma’s fragrance, Bergamotto di Calabria Eau de Toilette, takes its inspiration from the sights, scents, and sounds of Calabria, Italy. As the cooler months approach, we are transported to sunbaked coastlines, warm-hearted villages, and rugged mountains by the zests of citron and ginger, the glow of cedar wood, and the freedom of vetiver and musk. Part of the beloved “Blu Mediterraneo” collection, and housed in a sleek and fluid bottle reminiscent of the endless sea, the bright and effervescent fragrance has us planning a holiday getaway.

Personalized denim is no longer just a dream at Acne Studios. With respect to its storied past, Creative Director Jonny Johansson celebrated the launch of the denim line by generously giving 100 pairs of jeans to fellow creatives and friends. Now, the brand now offers customization of its legendary styles. Brightly colored numbers, letters, and symbols of your choosing can now adorn your favorite pair of Acne jeans, invoking unique personality and energetic self-expression into your everyday wardrobe. In an exciting collaboration with photographer Thistle Brown, the adjoining campaign highlights a 1970s spirit with body painting and freeform gestures.

Ginette NY jewelry designs fuse sensuality and structure using organic materials and natural stones. On the momentous occasion of the brand’s 20th anniversary, Ginette NY is bringing back its most famous designs in the making of a charm sautoir and charm bracelet. The luxurious, modern treasures are artistic and timeless. Alongside 18k Rose Gold, the brand’s colored stones and fine beads, on earrings and necklaces alike, bring joy and elegance to the everyday, as well as the most memorable special occasions.

The Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche and the historic watchmaker Timex have joined to present the much-anticipated “Mineral” collection. With an essence of peaceful, luxurious west coast style, and to spotlight skillful craftsmanship, the exclusive capsule offers semi-precious gemstone faces—known to be as healing as they are beautiful. Three timepieces all have graceful Malachite, Tiger’s Eye, and Lapis stone dials, which bring clarity and protection to those who wear them. In a contemporary case, the unique watches are screen printed with the evil eye, a signature design for Jacquie Aiche, as well as embellished with Austrian crystal hour markers.
