Chanel Explores the Cosmos with Its Latest Evening Bags
Unveiled on June 30, 2025, both creations exemplify Chanel's flair for fantasy. The Star Minaudière, crafted in silver-tone metal and crystal, conjures a celestial charm with its radiant, angular form. Meanwhile, the Sphere Minaudière dazzles in gold-tone metal, resembling a perfectly formed planet. Each piece feels as though it's been plucked straight from the cosmos.
What sets these minaudières apart is not just their eye-catching shapes, but the meticulous craftsmanship behind them. The crystals, or strass, are seamlessly integrated into the metal, creating a smooth, radiant surface that won't snag on delicate fabrics.
This clever technique ensures a consistent, all-over glow, allowing each piece to shimmer like a celestial body in motion.
Measuring just 13 by 13 centimetres for the Star and 12 by 12 centimetres for the Sphere, these minaudières are undeniably petite. They are designed as evening companions rather than practical handbags. Whether clutched in hand, as seen on the Métiers d'Art runway, or worn crossbody with the accompanying chain strap, they make an unmistakable statement.

Artisanal masterpieces: How designers went all out at Paris Couture Week
At Paris Couture Week, Chanel celebrates 110 years by recreating its couture salon in a palace, Iris Van Herpen imagines clothing as both organism and artifact and Elie Saab blends 19th-century romance with red carpet style. Here's a closer look at the Autumn/Winter 2025 haute couture collections. Celebrating a milestone Only Chanel would call its legendary Rue Cambon salon "too small' – then rebuild it, supersized, in a palace. As the house marked 110 years of its haute couture – a century and more of Coco Chanel's revolution in how women dress, it recreated its atelier inside the freshly restored Grand Palais, turning intimacy into spectacle for a nature-drenched show. Boucle tweeds mimicked sheepskin with buttons beautifully handmade at Chanel. Photo: AFP Chanel, whose founder banished corsets and reimagined luxury as liberation, showed just how far that legacy stretches: from the tiny salons of 1915 to its modern colossus. It was a flex only a handful of luxury giants could pull off – and perhaps, as one front-row guest suggested, a dazzling distraction as the fashion world counts down to the debut of Chanel's new designer Matthieu Blazy. Penelope Cruz, Naomi Campbell and the house's tightest VIP circle scaled gilded steps, sweating past marble and gold, to enter the reconstructed atelier. The set by Willo Perron was classic Chanel: intimate yet monumental, old world yet futuristic. "It just felt special,' Campbell said, "like stepping into a memory and something completely new. There's warmth, intimacy, nostalgia. Chanel can recreate anything, and it works." More drama unfolded on the runway. This was couture as nature fantasy, filtered through the Chanel prism. Menswear tailoring added swing to sculpted jackets and coat dresses, while mohair suits in deep greens and plums channeled autumn's hush. Boucle tweeds mimicked sheepskin; feathers and tweed created illusionary faux fur. Gold-sprayed wheat ears – the house symbol of abundance – were everywhere: stitched into flounces, embroidered on necklines, set on every guest's seat. The theme may have been country, but make no mistake: This was as close as Chanel gets to "roughing it'. Technique dazzled at every turn: jewel-buttons, embroidered florals and a finale of lame so luminous it mimicked sunlight on harvest fields. The studio team, holding the fort after Virginie Viard's abrupt and unceremonious exit last year, anchored the show in classic codes but played with wit and lightness. That obsessive handwork matters – not just for tradition, but for business. Chanel is fashion's juggernaut: Privately held, the brand reported US$18.7bil (RM78.87bil) in revenue for 2024, cementing its status as one of the world's most powerful luxury houses. Couture may be the crown, but its influence drives global sales in fragrance, bags and jewelry, making it the envy of rivals. Change is always looming at Chanel. For more than 30 years, Karl Lagerfeld transformed the brand from Parisian legend to pop phenomenon, staging ever-grander spectacles at the Grand Palais. After his death in 2019, Viard, his longtime deputy, guided Chanel into a softer, more discreet era. Now the industry is holding its breath for Blazy, a Belgian talent with stints at Margiela, Celine and most recently Bottega Veneta, where he won fans for his blend of innovation and reverence for craft. Campbell said of Blazy, whom she knows personally: "He's focused, open-minded – he'll bring something special.' The show unfolded inside the Grand Palais' newly restored Salon D'Honneur, its gold and stone revealed after a €600mil (RM2.98bil), multi-year restoration co-funded by Chanel. It's more than a venue; it's an advertisement to the house's power and commitment to Parisian heritage.

Photo: AP For years, Dutch wunderkind and celebrity-favourite Iris Van Herpen has occupied fashion's edge, conjuring couture from unexpected sources – banana leaves, cocoa beans and even 3D-printed polymers, while exploring the intersection of biology, art and design. The collection, "Sympoiesis', felt like the culmination of her restless experimentation: A show that dared to imagine clothing as both organism and artifact. In a shadowy Paris venue, Van Herpen sent out a series of gossamer gowns spun from alternative fibers so fine and insubstantial that they seemed conjured from air itself. At the collection's heart, a luminous "living dress', animated by millions of bioluminescent algae, quietly stole the scene. The algae, thriving within a custom-molded nutrient matrix, glimmered in electric blue as if stitched from the deep sea – offering an eerie, captivating spectacle that went beyond mere artifice. Elsewhere, Van Herpen introduced wedding gowns crafted from lab-grown bio-protein, a futuristic Japanese fibre that's biodegradable and endlessly recyclable – a glimpse of a fashion industry reimagined for a new era. If the show dazzled, it also underscored a rare feat in modern couture: independence. In a world where most designers rely on billion-dollar groups to bankroll their dreams, Van Herpen stands nearly alone, thriving outside the grip of giants like LVMH and Kering. Her creations have become magnets for pop royalty and rule-breakers: Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Bjork, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman have all worn her sculptural gowns on the world's biggest stages. At the Met Gala, Hailee Steinfeld stunned in a Van Herpen dress made from ocean plastic. Dove Cameron shimmered in her work in 2022. Star power helps sustain the atelier, but it's invention that defines her legacy. While many independents have vanished from the couture calendar, Van Herpen survives by never playing it safe. Every season, she proves that true originality is not only possible, but essential – in Paris. By harnessing living organisms and boundary-pushing textiles, Van Herpen's latest collection doubled down on her signature ethos: couture not just as spectacle or skill, but as an open question – what might fashion, and nature, become next? In a world obsessed with spectacle, Van Herpen continues to ask not only what we wear, but how we care for the world that makes it possible.

Photo: AFP Elie Saab, the Lebanese designer long favoured on the red carpet, returned to familiar territory with its haute couture collection – and did so unapologetically. In Paris, fashion insiders gathered among marble columns as models descended a gilded stone staircase to the strains of harpsichord music, setting the tone for a collection steeped in historical romance. Saab leaned into his signature codes: sumptuous velvets, gowns gathered at the back, and pearl and jewel-adorned chokers. Floral appliques – another hallmark – blossomed, anchoring the collection in the femininity that has defined the house for decades. This was a particularly thoughtful collection, evoking romantic silhouettes from the turn of the 19th century in Europe. The soft draping and historical references gave the show a sense of emotional depth beyond its surface opulence. Macaron hues – nude, rose pink, water blue, and mint - punctuated by imperial black and gold, set off bold blooms across brocade and print, infusing the collection with romantic vibrancy. Among the standout pieces were gowns with cascading trains and bejeweled details, encasing the body in a kind of luxurious cage. Elie Saab said the collection – dubbed "The New Court' – was "a sumptuous playground for the modern queen – one who plays by her own rules'. Though luxury and opulence may be Saab's well-trodden path, he showed that consistency remains its own form of artistry. Saab's couture is less about surprise and more about control – control of silhouette, embellishment, and fantasy. Where other houses have veered into avant-garde or gender-fluid territory this season, Saab stayed rooted in his vision of archetypal femininity, shaped by heritage and craftsmanship. If the show felt familiar at times, it was also undeniably polished – a standout collection that reminded audiences why Saab's world of embellished escapism continues to resonate. It's a formula that keeps Hollywood coming back. Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Emmanuelle Beart, Sophie Marceau, Beyonce, Maggie Cheung and Diane Kruger have all stepped onto the world's biggest stages in Saab's gowns – a testament to a house where fantasy and glamour are always in season. – AP

From kopitiam to cool: How the white tank top became a style staple for men
Celebrities like Glen Powell and Jeremy Allen White have been incorporating the white tank top look. Photo composite: Instagram/Glen Powell, Calvin Klein As a man in Malaysia, you might feel a twinge of apprehension about putting on a white sleeveless top. Why? Because this humble piece of clothing, also know locally as a singlet, has long been linked to the image of a retiree idling at the local kopitiam – more laid-back than fashion-forward. Celebrities, however, are reclaiming the white tank top, turning it into a symbol of cool. Paired with tailored trousers, layered under blazers or worn solo with confidence, the white tank top is no longer just off-duty loungewear. It is now a definitive style statement. Last week, the latest Superman, David Corenswet, shared a photo of himself in a white tank top. He posted it together with a shot of Nicholas Hoult in a matching look, with the caption jokingly accusing his co-star (who plays Lex Luthor) of stealing his look. While it was more of a tongue-in-cheek nod to their on-screen rivalry, the pictures also reinforced the white tank top's rising status as a sleek, confident style staple for men. David Corenswet (left) and Nicholas Hoult were spotted in similar outfits comprising a white tank top.

Jeremy Allen White wore one in a Calvin Klein campaign, while Timothee Chalamet showed off his bare arms in a similar style for a Chanel fragrance ad. Glen Powell, too, has shared photos of himself relaxing in a white sleeveless top. Timothee Chalamet showed off his arms in a fragrance campaign. Photo: Chanel If you are still doubtful, perhaps it shows your age. Young Malaysian artistes like Sky Iskandar and Sean Lee have made it something of a go-to for an easy, effortlessly cool off-duty vibe. Their trick? Wear a white tank top with open-toe sandals (which is also a big menswear trend right now), sneakers and just the right dose of confidence. Layering is also key to pulling the look together – throw on a breezy button-down shirt, a camp-collar top or a nice jacket to add structure without sacrificing comfort. During the Spring/Summer 2025 womenswear shows last year, the white tank top was everywhere on the runways. Major fashion labels like Gucci, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Fendi all featured it on their models. So it is only natural that the men are now co-opting it for their own everyday stylish looks. Wear it with a jacket and tailored pants for a dressed-up look. Photo: Instagram/Sky Iskandar It also works as a holiday look – relaxed yet stylish enough to show you haven't given up on fashion. Photo: Instagram/Sean Lee Read more: Step up, guys! Let these stylish celebrities inspire your shoe game If you are still wondering what makes the white tank top so enduring, it is simplicity. It flatters a range of body types, works across styles – from streetwear to minimalist – and requires very little to make a statement. It is this versatility that has won over a new generation of style-conscious men. Ultimately, it is not just about wearing the tank top, but how you wear it. Or, to put it more poetically, such a look is all about the mindset. You just need the right attitude to truly pull it off. For Malaysians, think less 'uncle' and more 'cool leading man'.
