Diptyque’s Parisian Café…

…is embracing “Les Délicieuses“: classic Diptyque candles are given a sweet treat twist. Illustrated by artist Clym Evernden, who combines whimsy and humor to bring the glimpse of the playful side of Paris, the capsule collection is inspired with the iconic Café Verlet, purveyor of coffees and teas since 1880. Café (Coffee), Biscuit (Cookie) and Chantilly (Whipped Cream) are the new limited-edition candles. You can shop them below!

Camille Miceli delivered a bold and joyful Emilio Pucci moment: high-energy runway presentation held at Palazzo Altemps in Rome, opened with a stunning appearance by Christy Turlington and closed with the iconic Italian actress and model Isabella Rossellini. To the tune of Roisin Murphy’s covers of all-time Italian classics, the charismatic designer sent down a contemporary take on the psychedelic Pucci motif. No wonder why the collection was titled “Very Vivara” – after the iconic pattern which was created way back in 1965 and has the same vibrant resonance in 2024. Intertwining the characteristic sumptuousness and the emblematic lightness of the fashion house, shifting between organic and geometric shapes, Miceli offers a certain heartfelt glamour that doesn’t feel forced. Wearing a breezy Pucci caftan-dress, you’re a jet-set goddess, but one cherishing ease and comfort.
