Fashion
Dior Launches Its A/W 25-26 Campaign
Dior's Autumn-Winter 2025–2026 campaign feels like stepping into a beautifully surreal novel – one where fashion, time, and identity all shift and shimmer. Shot by Tim Walker at England's majestic Hatfield House, the campaign takes its inspiration from Virginia Woolf's Orlando, a character who journeys across centuries, genders, and selves. Just like Orlando, the collection is multi-dimensional – expect shortened crinolines, zip-up corsets, and jackets crafted from velvet with rich embroidery.

Tiffany & Co.'s Atlas Watch Gets A Whole New Look
Tiffany & Co. has relaunched its iconic Atlas watch collection, blending the spirit of New York with a thoroughly modern edge. First introduced in 1983 and inspired by the legendary Atlas clock above Tiffany's original Broadway store, the updated collection keeps its Roman numeral heritage, but now comes in steel with polished bracelets or sleek leather straps, and feature dials in the brand's signature Tiffany Blue or crisp silver. And it's not just about looks – these watches are powered by advanced Swiss-made mechanical and solar movements, with the smallest size offering solar charging that keeps it ticking for up to eight months.
Fred Jewellery Reveals Its Latest Rise Designs
Fred has unveiled Force 10 Rise, the latest evolution of its iconic jewellery collection. First imagined nearly 60 years ago from founder Fred Samuel's love of sailing, Force 10 has long been a symbol of courage and boldness. Now, the beloved collection rises anew, featuring pink and white gold cables and buckles. The new pieces, from cascading necklaces to mix-and-match hoops, ear cuffs, and stackable designs, offer endless styling freedom – be sure to layer with abandon.
Beauty
Armani Launches Its New Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine
Giorgio Armani Beauty has launched the next big name in blush: Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine. Inspired by the fluidity of silk organza and the brilliance of pearl, this new formula offers a refined, luminous finish that lets light dance upon the skin. Harnessing Armani's signature watercolour technology, the formula fuses ultra-fine pigments with a delicate water-in-oil emulsion. The result? A second-skin texture that glides on like silk, blending seamlessly while allowing colour to bloom and glow. Available in four radiant, light-catching shades.
Dining
A Bee-autiful Afternoon Tea
This summer, The Peninsula Paris and Maison Chaumet come together on a delicious delight. In celebration of Chaumet's beloved Bee collection, the hotel has debuted a limited-edition Afternoon Tea at Le Lobby, where honey and floral notes take centre stage. Crafted by award-winning Pastry Chef Anne Coruble, the exquisite sweet and savoury creations are inspired by both the rooftop beehives of the hotel and Chaumet's storied celebration of bees. Each tiered treat – from avocado honey and beeswax pastries to muscovado brioche filled with raw cream – is more delicious than the next.
