It’s been a busy week in fashion: Chopova Lowena has opened its first clubhouse boutique, Dree Hemingway stars in a twisted JW Anderson denim campaign and Cecilie Bahnsen has made another very good flower-covered ASICS sneaker.
Big news for Chopova Lowena and their very loyal fanbase: the London-based duo have just opened their first ever standalone store in East London and now you can access their magic, punk and girly community. Called the Chopova Lowena Clubhouse, the space at 84 Teesdale Street is part shop, part meeting point, with exclusive pieces, pop-ups and events planned throughout the year. It’s a major step for the brand, which has grown from an emerging London label into one of the city’s most recognisable names. Consider us officially club members.
More fashion news this week…
Entering our well-read era with Sandy Liang and Cou Cou
As we try to spend less time glued to screens, printed literature is having a moment, and fashion is taking notes. These two brands are a match made in heaven: Cou Cou and Sandy Liang’s first collaboration taps into back-to-school nostalgia with a collection of the cutest pyjamas, tanks and underwear inspired by the joy of reading. Being “well-read” is definitely a lifestyle.
Christy Turlington is back in Armani
Christy Turlington is back in front of the camera for Giorgio Armani’s Fall/Winter 2026-27 campaign, alongside Liam Kelly and Akbar Shamji. Shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, the campaign marks the first Armani collection designed by Silvana Armani and Leo Dell’Orco, bringing the house’s signature clean, timeless tailoring into a new era.

Tate McRae is making jeans feel sexy again for Calvin Klein
Tate McRae is bringing the moves to Calvin Klein’s latest campaign. For Fall 2026, the golden pop star is the main character in the first chapter of the brand’s “Feel the Fit” campaign, directed and photographed by Carlijn Jacobs. It’s all about that very specific feeling when you put on the perfect pair of jeans and you start moving differently.
WILLOW is the face of Free People’s new campaign
WILLOW brings her free spirited energy to Free People’s Autumn 2026 campaign. Shot by Zoey Grossman, the campaign sees the musician and actor in a mix of lace, plaids and oversized silhouettes, with WILLOW, of course, being part of the styling and selection of looks. The partnership follows a series of collaborations between the two, including WILLOW’s performance video for The Thread and a New York listening party for her latest album.
Louis Vuitton’s new beauty drop is about to be in every cool girl’s bag
Louis Vuitton is marking 130 years of its Monogram with a limited-edition beauty collaboration between Nicolas Ghesquière and Dame Pat McGrath, and the Monogram Infrarouge collection is so good. Built around deep black and vivid red, it includes an eyeshadow palette, satin lipstick and lip topper, all wrapped in the instantly recognisable Monogram canvas. If the packaging is anything to go by, these are about to be sitting in the bags of the most tasteful women you know.
Miu Miu taps Claire Denis for its next Women’s Tales
Miu Miu has announced the great French filmmaker Claire Denis as the director of the 32nd chapter of its Women’s Tales series. Titled Avec Kim, the short film will premiere at Venice Film Festival’s Giornate degli Autori on September 5. Denis joins the long-running series, which has previously brought together some of the most distinctive female filmmakers working today. We love the Miu Miu women.
Dree Hemingway makes a case for twisted denim
JW Anderson is twisting denim, quite literally. The latest campaign for the brand’s Twisted Denim stars model and actress Dree Hemingway alongside her partner, Nick Delli Santi, and it is the first time the pair have been photographed together for a campaign. Shot by Sam Khoury with creative direction from Jonathan Anderson. Made from Japanese cotton, the jeans are deliberately twisted with front and leg seams that spiral around the silhouette, a very JWA move. If you’re looking for the coolest duo you know to have the best jeans, they’re about to be wearing these.
Moncler and Hiroshi Fujiwara just gave the Wallabee a Moncler makeover
Moncler and Hiroshi Fujiwara are back with another Fragment collaboration, and this time they’re bringing Clarks Originals into the mix. The new collection puts a Japanese spin on Moncler’s Italian heritage, playing with vintage souvenir-jacket references and Fujiwara’s knack for making classic pieces feel a little cooler. Alongside the ready-to-wear is the Trailgrip Wallabee GTX, a mash-up of the iconic Clarks Wallabee and Moncler’s technical Trailgrip sole. Fujiwara himself stars in the campaign, because obviously who better to wear it?
Cecilie Bahnsen just made the ASICS flower sneaker of our dreams
Cecilie Bahnsen and ASICS are back with another sneaker, and obviously, it comes covered in flowers. The new GEL-KINETIC™ FR takes the brands’ ongoing collab in an even more playful direction with Bahnsen’s signature floral details, tiny charms and the drawcord laces. It comes in two colourways, Piedmont Grey Silver and Black Coffee, and they will be out on September 12th. Which pair are you hunting?
