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.”

Jimin was named global ambassador of Tiffany & Co. in March, and today, the jeweler unveils their first campaign with the BTS star for their T and Tiffany Hardwear collections. Gal Gadot and Zoë Kravitz also star in the campaign.

“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.”

Animal motifs have long been part of Kenzo's DNA — most recognizably the tiger which first appeared in Kenzo collections in 1975 with resurgence during the Humberto and Carol 2010’s era. 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.
