Dior’s Trompe-l’œil collection
Harking back to a unique invitation to Jonathan Anderson’s Dior debut—a plate of trompe-l’œil eggs—Dior continues to pay homage to the 18th-century art of trompe-l’œil with a collection of decorative ceramics. Inspired by its archives and Anderson’s childhood memories from Northern Ireland, edibles like a croissant or whole eggs are revealed as fascinating illusions—a poetic embodiment of artisanal excellence and attention to detail.
Chopard revives the Alta Moda
At the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Chopard brought the Alta Moda collection back to life, reinterpreting the jewellery watches of 1984 through the savoir-faire of Chopard and Caroline’s Couture. True to the original, the new Alta Moda watch is distinguished by its use of silk taffeta, a luxurious fabric that becomes the bracelet, embracing the wrist with its generous folds. The heart of it though, is the mother-of-pearl dial and its dainty 24mm case, crafted in 18-carat ethical white gold and pavé-set with 80 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 5.50 carats.
Dior captures youth in an intensive essence lotion
In step towards high-performance reverse ageing, Dior Capture has reinvented the Intensive Essence, reinforcing the skin barrier and hydrating it for as deep as 10 layers of the epidermis. Compatible with home skincare devices and Dior Capture Le Sérum, the lotion is enriched with OX-C Treatment, a luxurious, collagen-boosting anti-ageing technology, and Metaboline, resulting in skin more radiant, elastic and well, happy.
Loewe x On: LightSpray Cloudmonster
Taking advantage of On’s pioneering LightSpray upper technology, Loewe’s new limited release is a precision-engineered sneaker that moves naturally with the foot. Presented in an all-white colourway with silver Loewe and On branding, the LightSpray Cloudmonster combines a laceless, single-piece upper with On’s Cloudmonster Hyper midsole for ultimate cushioning and energy return. Each shoe includes three LightSpray socks in Fluo Yellow, Fluo Green and Teal, each an integral component of the design rather than an accessory.
