Re-edited and refreshed
Dior in Perfume Creation Director, Francis Kurkdjian, created a trio of singular and complementary fragrances: La Collection Privée Christian Dior. Eau Noire, Cologne Blanche and Bois d’Argent. Today, Kurkdjian has decided to re-edit these fragrances, which have been much-loved and in demand ever since they were created. Each initial fragrance signs unique olfactory properties: Eau Noire is a sun-kissed lavender that extends into a sensual gourmand base; Cologne Blanche shines orange blossom counterbalanced by a powdery accord; and Bois d’Argent plays on a luminous iris contrasted by incense smoke.

A visual treat
Van Cleef & Arpels Perlée collection gets a visual representation as it should with the help of designer Arthur Hoffner and photographer Erik Madigan Heck. The two artists have reinterpreted the golden bead motif and bright colors of the Perlée creations in a series of photographs and window displays created specifically for the Maison. This installation showcases the Perlée collection that will adorn the exterior and interior windows of Van Cleef & Arpels boutiques around the world. Suffused with warmth and contrast, its pink, blue and gold harmonies pay tribute to the golden bead, a true emblem of the Maison. This decor also inspired a 3D animated film, developed by the Maison in collaboration with Hoffner.

Get active in luxe wear
Puma is set to disrupt the ordinary sportswear collection with Luxe Sport, a collection that redefines the codes of couture. At the core of the collection is Puma’s iconic T7 tracksuit, which is re-envisioned like never before. Sharper silhouettes, exaggerated shapes, and monogram patterns show the T7 tracksuit in a brand new light, with select references taken from the free-spirited boldness of the ‘80s. In 1998, PUMA became the first sports brand in the world to dissolve the barrier between performance and fashion. PUMA collaborated with German minimalist designer Jil Sander to bridge sport and style, forging a partnership that was years ahead of its time.
