As the tides of summer creep up on us, plans for travel, dressing, and experimentation with our everyday gear ensue. Luckily, we are not at a loss for material with more, more, and more unexpected collaborations for those of us who like to get ahead.

GUCCI LIDO FOR LEADERS

Pack your luggage, we’re headed toward the Amalfi coast. Here to guide us through this great adventure, Gucci Lido offers handbags, accessories, and garments in high-contrast colors and mixed patterns for the ultimate vestiti per le vacanze (holiday fits). Cut just for the flamboyantly fashionable activities only the Italian Seabreeze inspires.

READY, SET, FERRAGAMO

Rev up your engines: Ferragamo Fiamma, the house’s new brand signature, has joined the race for the latest It-bag. Its namesake proudly honors the first daughter and heir to the Ferragamo dynasty—who was credited with growing the family brand into the global fashion house it is today after she inherited it at the age of 19. The bags, in a timeless silhouette and available in various colors, call to mind Fiamma’s enterprising spirit and a certain regality
to accompany you on your Italian summer.

CELINE HEADPHONES ON, WORLD OFF

Celine, in collaboration with the audio experts Master & Dynamic, have each contributed their unique expertise (in sleek design and impeccable sound quality, respectively) for a luxurious take on the modern lifestyle staple: headphones. Crafted in rich black and chestnut-colored leathers with the Celine logo monogrammed on its leather ear cups, accented with lightweight silver details throughout, this sonically stylish trio offers protection from cat-callers and small-talkers alike.

THE AGE OF…AQUARIUS, LOEWE, AND PAULA’S IBIZA

Ibiza’s Paula’s Boutique was once a bastion of 1970s counterculture in southern Spain. Visions of its influence have been given a new life by Loewe.
The collection features summer-forward straw totes, easy espadrilles,
and lots of leather. Perhaps the most innovative and exciting are the Sporty Mask sunglasses with wraparound reflective components, to entertain nostalgia with silver-tinted lenses.

EXTRA, EXTRA TWEED ALL ABOUT IT

This isn’t your grandmother’s Chanel. The 2023/24 Chanel Metiers d’Art collection introduces color to the typically gloomy city of Manchester, with a high-five in lieu of a handshake. Familiar details, namely, tweed, pearls, structured suiting, and chains meet long standing Chanel design codes, but borrow tchotchke-inspired detailing, feathers, and rock-n-roll, evoking a sunset that only lesser-polluted, mid-century skies can provide.

DIORIVIERA FOR THE MODERN ERA

Behold: a one stop shop for summer dressing—both for the home and body. The 2024 Dioriviera collection, perfectly timed for a May release, emphasizes the simultaneous versatility and wearability of their toile de jouy soleil and sauvage prints in linens and wearable garments, reimagining them all as the main characters of an ideal summer wardrobe and decor scheme.

BE A WALKING MUSEUM

Consider the corporal realm a museum we have the authority to curate with garments, accessories, and, now, ten new installations courtesy of Louis Vuitton. Longtime LV collaborator, architect Frank Gehry, who worked with the house on the design of its museum, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, has now engineered sculptural pieces to house your precious belongings. Not only that; the collection leaves no one’s bodily museum without—featuring floating fish, concrete pockets, puzzle piece motifs, and bears, oh my!

PLAY IN GIVENCHY PLAGE

Givenchy is inviting us to the South of France—and we are heeding the call. The dress code: no-nonsense, all leisure. Sexy yet supportive summer dresses, bucket hats for UV shielding, and an updated Voyou raffia tote for collecting seashells, spare cigarettes, phone numbers, and the like. The color palette: neon and neutral collide, in light summer fabrics for day, night, dusk, and dawn.
