Style News: Chanel jewellery designer's final collection, Havaianas x Gigi Hadid, Decorte pop-up
Celestial motifs are at the centre of French maison Chanel's latest haute joaillerie line Reach For The Stars – the last by its former chief of fine and high jewellery, Patrice Leguereau, who died of illness in November 2024.
The swansong of his 15-year tenure is a mix of old and new. Familiar notes, like the long tail of a comet and abstractions of the lion he so favoured – for founder Coco Chanel was a Leo – get much play, but the soft curves of wings make their debut too.

White gold and natural polished diamonds recur in the range that includes necklaces, belts, earrings and a tiara. But sapphire proves most effective, appearing in pink, blue and even a subtle yellow, while the soft reds of spessartine garnets and some black spinel add interest.
It is quite a romantic line, with some sets approaching Sailor Moon levels of girlishness – granted, they are much more opulent.
The piece de resistance is the Wings Of Chanel necklace shaped like a pair of unfurled wings that fit around the neck. It is set with a 19.55-carat padparadscha sapphire of a rare pink, and drops into a string of little moons and stars that can be detached and worn as a bracelet.

Havaianas x Gigi Hadid lands on June 30
Supermodel Gigi Hadid's new capsule collection for Brazilian flip-flop brand Havaianas comprises four styles.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid's new capsule collection for Brazilian flip-flop brand Havaianas will go live on June 30.
Comprising four styles, the drop is the casual footwear brand's buzziest in recent memory, following an appearance by Hadid in late May – feet shod in a butter yellow, square-toe pair of Havaianas.
US fashion media was quick to seize on the oddity of her bared ankles and toes – really, the whole paw – on the grotty streets of New York, forecasting a 'flip-flop renaissance'. It is a notion perhaps most amusing in Singapore, where the rubber slipper is ubiquitous.
Hadid's set comes in classic Havaianas shapes and candy tones – soft-orange, yellow, purple, and blue and green – with retro, pin-up-inspired prints. Each pair bears her signature on the sole and is packaged in a beach-inspired box, with hanger and postcard.
Info: Available from June 30 exclusively at havaianas.com.sg. Prices to be announced

From June 19 to 25, Japanese beauty brand Decorte, known for its focus on regenerative skincare, will set up shop at Takashimaya's The Atrium.
The week-long pop-up gathers Decorte AQ's skin, hair, body and fragrance products in one place and features two new products.
The first, the AQ Pore Blackhead Dissolver ($120), is a cleansing serum meant to smooth pores and dissolve excess oil on the face. It is touted as gentle, going for the lipids in sebum plugs and dissolving them right down to the roots, removing the 'grease' and proteins that clog pores.
The second, the AQ Perfumed Hair Mist ($80), gives the locks a sweet Magnolia champaca fragrance.
Info: From June 19 to 25 , 10am to 9.30pm at Level 1 The Atrium, Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City, 391A Orchard Road

Tyler, The Creator's 20th collaboration with sneaker brand Converse arrives in Singapore a t Dover Street Market Singapore on June 20. It is part of a new range named 1908 – the year Converse was founded – in which forgotten archival Converse styles are reimagined by rap's one-time enfant terrible.
Two 1970s silhouettes are coming back this time : the Coach Jogger, designed as an Olympic running shoe in 1976, and the Naut-1, a boat shoe circa 1971.
The Coach Jogger reboot keeps the narrow look and thin sole of the original, but trades its retro branding for the loopy script of the American rapper's shoe line, le Fleur*.
The 1908 Naut-1 styles are going funky too. One design comes in a print of the 34-year-old musician's favourite dog and canine mascot of his apparel line, the Airedale Terrier.
Info: Available in-store at Dover Street Market Singapore, 18 Dempsey Road, open from 11am to 8pm daily; and online at DSMS E-shop (str.sg/3GxA3) . Prices to be announced

Spy the eyewear trends that have been making waves in 2025
Courtesy of Chanel At times, they're supersized supreme. Some lean sleek and chic. And if the time calls for it, a cat eye does it. Some accessories re-enter conversations with the seasons—like any current talk of a necktie—but ask any fashion-inclined individual and they'll never retire their favourite pair of eyewear. Perhaps interest in specific shapes or styles might wax and wane, but between one's opticals and a trusty pair of sunnies to keep close, there's no question that fashion's rotating slate of statement eyewear will continue to hold everyone's attention. As we bask in the summer heat and the days grow longer, a dependable pair of protective sunglasses is something we all need. Some still prefer their sun shields on the oversized end, like Miley Cyrus's retro aviators run or Victoria Beckham's preference for the bug-eyed silhouette. Techwear or reflective eyewear still finds its moments for the occasion, like during Jennie's Coachella set to complete her Mugler archival fit. If logomania could ever be subtle, some notable designer brands have even found their way around to make it look chic again. Simply look at Chanel's spring/summer 2025 eyewear campaign for the collection, or the freshest bit of fashion fodder: Celine's recent spring/summer 2026 show by Michael Rider. Celine's latest spring/summer 2026 campaign. Courtesy of Celine Chanel's eyewear campaign featuring Lupita Nyong'O, for its spring/summer 2025 eyewear collection. Courtesy of Chanel 2024's prescription glasses craze continues to have a chokehold on the zeitgeist, albeit now in new iterations. Gentle Monster's newest entrance to the market includes their Pocket Collection, a foldable line of eyewear fronted by Aespa's Karina. Small, thin wired frames still reign everywhere, spotted in waves all through the fall/winter 2025 season, be it on the Prada runway or out on the streets. And if there's a colour of choice across the board for tinted sunglasses? A wash of yellow would be it. As large frames are becoming chic again, and we anticipate small, foldable styles to take off, spy the eyewear trends that are taking us through the rest of 2025—and well into the next year. IMAXTree 1 / 33 Bug-eyed frames: Dolce&Gabbana The oversized trend isn't going anywhere. In particular, bug-eyed silhouettes were spotted all over the runways across the fall/winter 2025 season—and most recently, Victoria Beckham stepped out donning her own retro-inspired pair. Getty 2 / 33 Bug-eyed frames: Victoria Beckham 3 / 33 Tom Ford sunglasses, $742 Available at Ssense. @katarinabluu 4 / 33 Foldable styles: Karina of Aespa A pocketable, or perhaps, bag charm-able style. The new Pocket collection by Gentle Monster (and fronted by Karina) has certainly taken off—with its styles in demand everywhere. Be it for its chic appearance or portable nuance, it's already a design with potential for multiple re-iterations.

Statement making for sure. @ 8 / 33 Geometric, angular shapes: Minnie Courtesy of Prada 9 / 33 Prada Symbole sunglasses, $650 Available at Prada. Getty 10 / 33 Yellow-tinted sunglasses: Rihanna If there's one hue favoured by designers across the board, it seems to be this retro-esque shade of yellow. Seen on celebrities everywhere—from Rihanna to Dua Lipa and G-Dragon—yellow-tinted shades are swinging back in style. IMAXTree 11 / 33 Yellow-tinted sunglasses: Nina Ricci Courtesy of Gucci 12 / 33 Gucci shield sunglasses, $512 Available at Ssense. IMAXTree 13 / 33 Oversized aviators: Loewe Aviator styles are still going strong, but they don't necessarily have to be the old school pilot styles. A play on its inverted shape was spotted at Loewe's spring/summer 2025 show late last year, and the oversized aviator silhouette continues to have its hold on the market. Getty 14 / 33 Oversized aviators: Miley Cyrus Courtesy of Loewe 15 / 33 Loewe Hillock sunglasses, $620 Available at Loewe. Getty 16 / 33 The cat-eye: Ayo Edebiri Safe to say, the cat-eye silhouette is a cult classic for the modern woman now. Courtesy of Celine 17 / 33 The cat eye: Celine Courtesy of Celine 18 / 33 Celine cat-eye sunglasses, $581 Available at Net-a-Porter. @jennierubyjane 19 / 33 Tech-inspired visors: Jennie The futuristic vibes were popping off at Jennie's Coachella weekend set, props to her metallic moment for her Ruby stage. And across Courreges and Acne Studios's fall/winter 2025 shows, metallic and reflective visor styles were in tow.

IMAXTree 28 / 33 Not-so-subtle logos: Miu Miu Logomania? Not quite. Subtle but certain, luxury brands are not shying away from putting their logos on full display—in line with the thick, sturdy frames that are coming back into style. @kristine_froseth 29 / 33 Not-so-subtle logos: Kristine Froseth Courtesy of Chanel 30 / 33 Chanel sunglasses, $740 Available at Chanel.

Chanel shows haute couture in private salon setting at Grand Palais
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox PARIS - Chanel showed its latest collection of haute couture in an all-beige salon set at the Grand Palais in Paris on Tuesday, its last runway presentation by the design studio before the debut of new creative director Matthieu Blazy expected in September. Models emerged from an ornate entrance, parading long- skirted dresses in soft toned tweeds, with touches of sparkles and tufts of feathers. They wore tight buns and tall boots, which left u-shaped heel indentations in the plush carpet. Colors were muted, mostly ivory, beige and brown, but one silky dress came in a pale silvery blue, worn under a short, yellow-toned bomber jacket with a prominent, feathery collar. The show was held in the Salon d'Honneur, a smaller space of the freshly-restored Grand Palais, marking a contrast with the soaring, central exhibition hall usually favored by the label. Facing a prolonged slump, many labels in the high end fashion industry are renewing their design approach, with Kering-owned Gucci and Balenciaga, and LVMH's Dior among labels that have recently named new designers. After the show, guests lingered, making their way slowly down grand staircases, stopping for photos of the building's elaborate ironwork and gilded wall decorations. The Paris fall-winter haute couture fashion shows run through Thursday, featuring runway outings from labels Schiaparelli, Iris van Herpen and Imane Ayissi, as well as Giorgio Armani Prive, Maison Margiela and Balenciaga.

The best street style from the haute couture fall/winter 2026 shows
The day fashion devotees have been waiting for is here—Haute Couture Week 2026 has officially commenced in Paris. Known for its exclusivity and unparalleled artistry, the biannual event is a celebration of tradition and innovation—a space where designers push the boundaries of fashion with intricate detailing and visionary concepts. The first day set a remarkable precedent for the week, opening with Daniel Roseberry's Schiaparelli, which returned to the roots of the surrealist house with a bold, monochromatic spectacle titled 'Back to the Future'. The collection embraced fluid silhouettes and dramatic tailoring, leaning heavily into visual theatrics and archival homage. Meanwhile, Iris van Herpen, with her iconic sculptural and innovative design approach, dazzled the audience with a groundbreaking 'living dress' woven from 125 million bioluminescent algae. Captured in electric-blue hues that responded to movement and environmental stimuli, the garment acted as a self-sustaining ecosystem that illuminated the runway. Chanel ambassadors and fashion insiders were among celebrity sightings, contributing to the glamorous and exhilarating atmosphere. With day one leaving its mark, all eyes now turn to the Chanel's final haute couture show before newly appointed artistic director, Matthieu Blazy takes the reins—as well as Glenn Martens' highly anticipated debut for Maison Margiela. Beyond the runway, the streets came alive with the true spirit of Haute Couture Week as attendees brought their sartorial A-game to the sidewalks of Paris. In contrast to the theatrics on the runway, many opted for refined ensembles that exuded quiet confidence—think tailored blazers, crisp shirting and monochromatic palettes elevated by offbeat textures, statement accessories and pattern mixing. On the other end of the spectrum were the head-turners—celebrities and style icons who adopted couture-level drama in their street style. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Cardi B arrived in a custom black velvet column dress from Schiaparelli's spring 2024 couture collection, reimagined for dramatic impact with long pearl fringe cascading from a sculptural neckline. Others followed suit, favouring exaggerated silhouettes and unexpected touches that commanded attention with every step. Below, scroll through some of the best street styles from the haute couture fall/winter 2026 shows, as photographed by Phil Oh.
