MICHAEL Michael Kors has reissued their signature Astor bag, first introduced in 2004 as an homage to Astor Place in New York City. The bag has become a favorite of the brand since its introduction and has been worn by many VIP friends of the house including Hilary Duff, Kate Bosworth and Heidi Klum (and more recently, her daughter Leni). “The Astor bag itself will be turning 20 very soon," said Kors. "And the sporty glamour that exemplified the early Aughties seems incredibly relevant to the way we are all living and dressing today.”

The rubber frog loafers are a collaboration with Wellipets, the same brand that Princess Diana used to dress her kids in, and come in adult-size in green, yellow and blue.

“Our 'This Is Tiffany' campaign is an authentic homage to individual style," says Alexandre Arnault, Tiffany's EVP of Product and Communication. We may make the jewelry but it’s house ambassadors like Zoë, Jimin of BTS and Gal who give meaning to the collections and make our pieces all their own.”

In the Varsity Jungle Collection for Spring 2023, Nigo pays homage to his idol Kenzo Takada, introducing his new Kenzo icon: the elephant, which was the founder's favorite animal alongside a new version of the iconic Kenzo tiger.
