Last Minute: COS Gifts Edit

December 17, 2023December 16, 2023 | Design & Culture by Ed

COS has your holiday season covered. The brand has knits in all shapes and textures, eveningwear that dashes with jacquards and sequins, and timeless accessories – basically everything that will come handy this holiday party circuit. As keyed to real life as COS’ capsule collections are, they’re not humorless. Think XXL polka dots and playful details.

The Kate Method: Holiday Dressing with Anine Bing

December 16, 2023 | Design & Culture by Ed

Anine Bing and Kate Moss: it’s a match made in heaven, especially since both Moss and the Los Angeles-based brand exude a rebellious chic energy that doesn’t try to keep up with trends. “I haven’t ever really followed trends,” Moss explains. “I prefer to choose what I wear based on where I’m going and how I’m feeling.” To channel Moss’s timeless approach to dressing this festive season, check out the following shopping list.

Frame, the Los Angeles-based fashion house, has released the third drop of its collaboration with the Ritz Paris Hotel, and it couldn’t be chicer. And right on festive time!

Layer Up! Festive Marc Jacobs Selection

December 6, 2022December 6, 2022 | Design & Culture by Ed

Back in June, Marc Jacobs delivered one of the most knock-out fashion collections of 2022. Now, it’s finally available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, just in time for the festive season. The marvelous collection had it all: supersizing jeans skirts, or treating denim to surface treatments that made the all-American classic look more like French couture. Adding so much stuffing to ribbed knit sweaters they could double as pillows. Toying with Gilded Age bustles – evoking them by wrapping jackets around the waist. And cutting ball gowns of exuberant volume in unexpected, even strange fabrics. Here’s the festive-ready selection of my favourite items coming from this icon-status collection!

The Sack Shoulder Bag

Oversized Knit Crewneck Sweater
