Designer collaborations with mass retailers provide accessible fashion at lower price points, allowing consumers to own high-end pieces.
The most notable piece is the new ref. 5610/1P‑001, which returns the collection to a more compact 38mm format. Inspired by the proportions of medium-sized Nautilus references from the 1980s - particularly the ref. 3800 - the platinum watch wears with a notably slender 6.9mm profile and sticks to a purist hours-and-minutes display.
We put them wherever we could. There are butterfly handles on the cabinets in the bedroom, and butterflies are woven into the bed hangings. They're even on the soap in the bath and on the tiles in the kitchen. There are so many butterflies in this apartment, you don't even notice them. But Mariah does.
Participating in London Fashion Week is not a luxury but a necessity for any emerging brand aiming to go global. It's your ticket to the world of international fashion. - Katie England, Creative Director of Topshop and curator of the New Generation program
The J12 was also sporty enough to appeal to men, all the more so as sizes increased in new editions like 2005's Superleggera, inspired by legendary Milanese sports car coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring.
"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.
Like interest in the Nike tracksuit Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was pictured wearing earlier this month after being seized by the U.S., interest in Macron's shades is just the latest example of a newsmaker driving attention to a piece of fashion, and parlaying a news item into an internet meme. Before you could buy a "Make America Great Again" hat on President Donald Trump's website, he wore one himself. Watch the news and shop the look.
Emmanuel Macron's eye injury in Switzerland is moving markets. The French president appeared at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in mirrored aviator sunglasses reminiscent of the Top Gun aviator movie franchise, amusing President Donald Trump and social media, and propelling an obscure Italian eyewear stock into the spotlight, lifting its value by nearly 30% in a matter of days.
It's not a multi-thousand pound handbag from Hermes that best captures the new era of It bags, but a 149 tote from John Lewis. Launched this season, it's deeper (45cm) and taller (33cm) than your average handbag, and comes loaded with good intentions. It's able to hold your packed lunch, flask and book, as well at a push as your gym kit.
Last year, traditional luxury brands struggled to keep the attention of aspirational shoppers, and it was their lower-priced counterparts that swooped in to fill the gap. The formerly squeezed middle of the market - sitting below pure luxury labels but above mass-market brands - was able to capitalise on luxury's ever-growing prices and perceived lack of innovation. Tightening consumer budgets also played a part.
