Gucci released its Sneaker Garage app, where fans of the shoes can try them on in AR or VR and even design their own, while Moncler collaborated with Poldo Dog Couture to create adorable winter pet apparel

Winter is officially upon us. As the temperature continues to drop day by day, we could do with stocking up our wardrobes with warm garments. And luxury fashion houses have just what you need to survive the season – in style.

Discover much-needed boots in different looks by Hermès, from calfskin thigh-highs to vibrant ankle booties. Meanwhile, Neve by Giorgio Armani, a new fashion line dedicated to winter weather, reveals scarves and hats from its new winter collection. Of course, we can’t forget the family pets; keep Fido dry and warm with a snuggly duvet dog vest and rainproof cape from Moncler’s collaboration with Poldo Dog Couture, which is part of its Moncler Genius project.

Other brands are rounding out 2020 with new projects: there’s Shanghai Tang’s new unisex Tang Jacket Made-to-Order service, Dolce & Gabbana’s very first digital fashion show and Gucci’s new Sneaker Garage app.

Hermès

After a year in which many of us have been unable to go outside much, what do we need more of right now? That’s right: shoes. And so, as the days grow shorter and the mercury begins to fall, Hermès has dropped its new autumn/winter 2020 shoe collection featuring fancy footwear in styles that run the gamut from the almost everyday to the definitely extraordinary. In the former category, for example, are a range of trainers, including pairs that combine technical canvas with goatskin and calfskin suede. The boots range from calfskin thigh-length numbers to brightly coloured ankle boots that pair the calfskin with coated canvas and notched rubber soles.

Smart offerings for men include a variety of derbies, loafers and ankle boots, while at the fabulous end of things in the women’s collection, pumps and ankle boots in goatskin and satin bear the brand’s Hapi buckles, while vertiginous heels teeter atop a metal Chaîne d’Ancre.
