For Calvin Klein’s Spring 2025 campaign, actor Lily Collins wears the season’s sharp tailoring with effortless panache. Minimalism comes easy on a lithe body, and Lily showcases the brand’s version of day-to-night dressing with refined styling and a sensual attitude.
New outerwear prioritizes form and shape, with the Tech Textured Vest and Blazer evoking uptown chic. Across styles, elevated fabrics such as fluid silk and satin juxtapose structured wool and leather, revitalizing these wardrobe staples with a polished edge.
Kenzo artistic director Nigo captures the energy of Brazil, immersing the brand’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection in its vivid culture and the dynamic rhythm of Rio. Key pieces include the KENZO Chiku-Rin Camo, drawn from vintage kimonos and the house’s early collections, reinventing classic camouflage with a bamboo motif.
Just because the pieces are basic doesn’t mean they are boring. M&S shows how it’s done with the latest season’s warm and sophisticated tones to breathe life into your wardrobe. Expect shades of cognac, hunter green, sand, apricot and wine, offering a harmonious balance of vibrancy and elegance. Prints take a fresh turn with contemporary tropics, textured classics and art-inspired destination motifs, adding a creative twist to timeless menswear staples.
Coach’s new spring campaign “On Your Own Time” has its global ambassadors Elle Fanning, Nazha, Koki and Youngji Lee wearing confidence like a flag.
It’s all about having the courage to set the pace of your own life instead of racing to keep up with societal expectations of continuous progress.
So, when feeling overwhelmed by the pace of urban living, feel free to put away your phones away inside your Coach Tabby bags. The new Chain Tabby, as well as Coach’s new Soho Sneaker, inspired by the cross-training styles of the early ‘90s, are also must-haves.

Lacoste creative director Pelagia Kolotouros presents a new take on contemporary French elegance, transcending the brand’s tennis heritage to focus on founder René Lacoste’s life off the court, as he moved from tennis champion to urban sophisticate. Clean, graphic, contemporary silhouettes segue effortlessly from sports inspirations into a social whirl inspired by René Lacoste’s life in the Thirties.
Raw energy gives rise to refinement as iconic pieces offer a fresh mix of tailoring and flou, structure and fluidity, utilitarian and chic, technicity and refinement.
The fall-winter color palette is inspired by the brand’s iconic colors, blending timeless neutrals with stronger, more saturated hues. Tonal looks in white, creme, black-green, and warm camel create a feeling of timelessness, enlivened by vibrant pink.
When current fashion dictates unfettered expressions, some return to the classics — with a twist, of course. At the brand’s newest boutique at The Shoppes at Solaire, Polo Ralph Lauren appealed to a new generation of style-setters seeking effortless elegance and comfort, timeless style and luxury.
