Founded in Milan in 1937, the house has a loyal following among worldly and cultured luxury lovers who usually discover the brand by chancing upon its Milan store, which has become a destination unto itself for visitors to the city. That “if you know, you know” attitude was a key element of Valextra’s appeal long before those five words became a popular... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people/icons-influencers/article/3310083/xavier-rougeaux-ceo-valextra-explains-subtle-allure-milan-leather-goods-brand-famous-its-whispered?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people/icons-influencers/article/3310083/xavier-rougeaux-ceo-valextra-explains-subtle-allure-milan-leather-goods-brand-famous-its-whispered?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 14 May 2025 04:00:13 +0000 “Try cracking it,” says Dilara Kan, partner at Studio Yellowdot, as she hands me a small piece of dried eggshell. Holding the pearl-coloured fragment between my thumb and index finger I can feel the dual nature of one of the world’s most ubiquitous waste materials. Rigid and porous at the same time, the shard bends easily, but when enough pressure is applied, it cracks, producing a crisp sound similar to clinking glass. “Isn’t it fun to play around with it?” For the past five years, Kan, who... https://www.scmp.com/postmag/design-interiors/article/3307693/designers-recycling-eggshells-create-lamps-and-decorative-household-objects?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/postmag/design-interiors/article/3307693/designers-recycling-eggshells-create-lamps-and-decorative-household-objects?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:30:08 +0000 In an industry as cutthroat as fashion, where profit margins take precedence over personality and greed often wins out over generosity, Susan Fang – both the designer and her eponymous brand – feels like a breath of fresh air.

The grandeur shows in the classic 1960s-era A-line cut of some dresses, while bringing the casual were dresses in lace so sheer as to suggest lingerie was being worn on the outside. As for those all-important references to in-house tradition, horsebit bags of different styles and sizes were much in evidence, showing their... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/article/3305093/style-shoot-guccis-spring/summer-2025-collection-presents-casual-grandeur-its-mix-traditional-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/article/3305093/style-shoot-guccis-spring/summer-2025-collection-presents-casual-grandeur-its-mix-traditional-and?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 10 Apr 2025 21:00:08 +0000 It’s not only the fashion that caught the eye at the 2025 autumn/winter ready-to-wear shows in Paris and Milan. The make-up too had plenty to offer style watchers, from drawn-on lashes to blushes in bold colours and even kabuki-inspired looks.

For its autumn/winter 2025 collection, the brand channels another two formidable females, but from the past: 19th-century novelists Emily and Charlotte Brontë. It recasts the famous heroines of their respective novels, Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights and the titular protagonist of Jane Eyre.

At the collection’s launch during Milan Fashion Week in September, the brand took a ride in its time machine and came back with inspiration in a mix of sturdy staples – heavy woollens and distressed leather – and pieces shimmering with a retro-futuristic feel.

But things picked up later in the week with a celebratory event from Fendi – which marks its 100th anniversary this year – the always agenda-setting Prada show, and an ode to artistic freedom from Marni’s Francesco Risso.

Revealing silhouettes set the tone for the autumn/winter 2025-26 co-ed collection premiered on February 26 on the second day of Milan Fashion Week. Miniskirts were little more than peplums, requiring leggings or matching panties. Men wore cheekily low-rise jeans.

LA-based designer April Black Diamond’s show featured an unlikely – and perhaps controversial – model. Strutting down the runway at Palazzo Serbelloni in a bridal gown and tiara was drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s 35-year-old wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro.

Swathes of aqua green satin, a material that has long been a staple of Prada’s creations, covered the seats in the show venue, matching the colour of the runway, but the shiny and glossy fabric barely made an appearance in the show.

Wardrobe staples like tailored jackets are reinvented to become statement pieces in their own right, while sheer, sexy dresses play a fundamental role in elevating De Sarno’s vision for the Gucci girl.

A huge hit that was unveiled on the autumn/winter 2023 runway, the Hug bag, as the name conjures, takes its inspiration from the gesture of an embrace that is so often demonstrated in Italian culture.
