Who: Salvatore Ferragamo
What: New luxury handbag release
Where: Available online at ferragamo.com

The inner drawstring bag also comes in natural fabric and silk versions, with scarf prints from the house’s archives, reworked for the bag’s debut. The unique design concept is derived from the iconic 1951 Ferragamo Kimo sandal, with its woven bucket and lightweight leather construction. The attitude this bag brings embodies the duality of Ferragamo: fun yet sophisticated, proud and understated, even a little chaotic, yet oh-so-chic.

Another staple of the city, premium skatewear brand Grand Collection, is a creative group comprised of one of the last true subcultures of the era. Both brands stand firmly by the traditions they represent, and thus have come together in the name of print media with a capsule collection that pays homage to the medium. Featuring three limited-edition T-shirts and a zine printed (naturally) in an independent shop in Manhattan, this partnership proves that print indeed lives.

8 Aries and New Balance Present Unbalanced III
Who: Aries and New Balance
What: Third collaborative collection
Where: Available online at ariesarise.com
Why: The widely celebrated Aries and New Balance collaborative series is back for a third round of fitness gear that pulls ahead of the race. Unbalanced III is centered around New Balance’s 1080v11 model, a shoe highly favored among marathon runners for its comfort and support. Across the collection is a larger theme of asymmetry that poses the concept of running as a measure of personal growth, rather than a simple start-to-finish achievement. Unbalanced III’s adjoining apparel continues the running shoe’s red-and-black color story in a hoodie with matching track pants, T-shirts, shrugs, tights, Sherpa anoraks, vests, and socks for a full marathoning kit. The escapism aspect at the forefront of Unbalanced III highlights NB’s motive to create a collection for runners untethered from the idea of a finish line.

With every purchase of the “Cultivate Kindness” Compass Necklace, 900 school meals will be provided to kids in need through FEED’s non-profit partner, No Kid Hungry. This compass charm points due north, literally.

Regular releases are soon to follow, but true fans of Telfar will have to trust and believe that whatever shows up on their doorstep will be everything they hope for in a Telfar bag.

What: Collaborative shoe collection
Where: Available online at 1774.com, manoloblahnik.com, at all Manolo Blahnik retail locations, and select retailers
Why: It’s kind of a funny story. Back in 2020, Birkenstock’s spring/summer campaign featured luxury shoe moguls Manolo Blahnik and his CEO niece, Kristina, wearing Birkenstocks in front of the very first Manolo Blahnik store in London. This became the catalyst for what is now the first collaborative shoe collection from Manolo Blahnik for Birkenstock. The need-now regal jewel toned slip-ons have the reliability and comfort of your everyday Birkenstocks, but with Blahnik’s emphasis on flashy detailing. Accompanying the release is an uber-exclusive polka-dot shoebox, a cheeky nod to the Blahnik aesthetic of tasteful, fun-loving prints. The collection’s crystal-embellished buckles marry the designer’s notorious flair for glamour with the iconic cork sole, a Birkenstock tradition that began well over 200 years ago. And this is just the beginning: the second release of the Manolo Blahnik for Birkenstock collection drops just in time for summer.

Studded boots, big belts, and razor-sharp tailoring perfectly counter the frilly, fanciful dresses and blouses. To sum it up, the new designs attempt to describe the Zara woman as someone who is feminine yet grounded in reality—just like its cast of models, including Edie Campbell, Tess McMillan, and Georgia Palmer.

24 SSENSE Drops Third Collection with Petra Collins
Who: SSENSE and Petra Collins
What: I’m Sorry collection
Where: Available exclusively online at ssense.com
Why: Through her breakout Tumblr fame, Petra Collins has defined a generation of imagemakers and pop culture savants—and inspired myriad creatives (and definitely the visuals for Euphoria). Her feminine, sensual, and emotional work translates perfectly into a covetable clothing collection. Working closely with creative partner and stylist Dean DeCriscio, Collins created “I’m Sorry” for SSENSE around “what a character in my imaginary movie would wear…a young person who tries to move to the country but gets sucked back into digital life.” Think: Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in The Simple Life, slacking off on the farm, scrolling through TikTok, and online shopping on Depop (if the latter two existed back then). The result is girly crop tops, printed flare lounge pants, and silver jewelry made in collaboration with Jiwinaia that screams Y2K. Complete the look with an iPhone case via Wildflower Cases, emblazoned with an adorable cat drawn by artist Miigo (because, well, why not?).

Why: Blackpink in your area—with brand-new eyewear from Gentle Monster and the K-pop group’s own Jennie Kim. The duo’s first collection, Jentle Home, inspired by Jennie’s childhood, sold out almost immediately—and we have a feeling this one will be no different. The new Jentle Garden collection offers reflective metal designs of three optical glasses, three sunglasses, and one extra-special style with embellished crystal details. Jennie’s personal flair is further realized in a mobile game for iPhones and Androids, as well as a series of pop-up installations in five select cities. The collaboration with the Korean eyewear brand accompanies Blackpink’s recently announced comeback, so hopefully we’ll see these shades on tour soon, too.

Where: Available online at kith.com

Created in partnership with the Aaliyah Estate and Aaliyah’s brother, Rashad Haughton, Kith Women for Aaliyah honors the late artist and gives back 100 percent of proceeds to her alma mater, the Detroit School of Arts, and the organization I Support the Girls, which donates bras and hygiene products to homeless women.
27 Frame Launches Pure Denim
Who: Frame
What: Pure denim line
Where: Available online at frame-store.com
Why: In a market saturated with greenwashing, Frame is putting in the work to not wash their jeans—at all. Pure is a line of 10 denim pieces made with virtually no water. While a typical pair of jeans takes up to 80 liters of water to produce, Frame’s innovative non-toxic washing system, made in partnership with SAITEX USA, utilizes just 1.25 liters per item. In addition to cutting down the exorbitant amount of water used in production, Frame Pure is 100 percent biodegradable, and each item is tagged with a unique QR code that allows the wearer to read more about the collection’s impact (or lack thereof). The collection features what the brand does best (think: cargo overalls and distressed washes that don’t sacrifice style). Look good and feel good knowing your jeans were made pure.

In the video, each woman (dripping in pieces from the Milanese jeweler) speaks candidly about her journey and the obstacles they’ve faced in their respective industries. “The messaging women normally receive is that we need to be more, better, different,” Pomellato CEO Sabina Belli says in a press release. “This year, Pomellato wants womenkind to hear and remember that we are enough.” A very important message on IWD and every day.

30 Clhu Merges All-Gender Apparel and Resale
Who: Clhu (Clothes for Humans)

Where: Online atclhu.com
Why: There are boundless opportunities for self-expression across the gender spectrum.

Disposability is considered a thing of the past for Clhu founder Maria Borromeo, who creates genderless collections that are built to last. The time is up on binary fast fashion.

Who: Ami and Puma
What: Collaborative sportswear collection
Where: Available online at puma.com and amiparis.com, in Ami and Puma stores, and at select retailers
Why: Romeo Beckham and Mia Regan have made their first global debut as a couple in a new release from Ami and Puma. The looks sported by the young lovebirds offer a modern spin on streetwear: hybrid basics that hover somewhere between elevated and slouchy; friendly-looking, but with an attitude. Puma’s classic silhouettes like the Slipstream Lo, Suede Crepe, and the newly released Suede Mayu are included in the footwear component. The apparel selection includes T-shirts, polos, jackets, hoodies, shorts, crews, pants, and bras that can be combined into infinite ensembles. And the collaboration wouldn’t be complete without accessories: bucket hats, curve caps, shoulder bags, and grip bags, to be exact. The Parisian brand’s signature symbol is merged with the Puma logo in a co-branded graphic that can be seen across pieces, a visual representation of the friendships that inspired the collaboration.

And architect Peter Marino, who led the design for the new-and-improved space, has collaborated with the French house for over 25 years. His temple to the architectural, historical, gastronomic, and cultural sensibilities of the French capital are testament to Dior’s wide range of impact.

Though the initiative was originally set to launch later this year, given the escalating situation abroad, the two decided to release a pair of T-shirts with all proceeds benefitting the World Food Programme and UNHCR’s humanitarian efforts for Ukrainians displaced by the war. The bold yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag seen on the tees is a small but effective way of signaling support from afar.
