This month brings a series of new luxury and fashion launches, spanning bespoke fragrance, contemporary jewellery, reimagined heritage motifs, vibrant summer capsules and experimental collaborations that blend craftsmanship, culture and modern design.
Capturing the Essence of Luxury
Amouage and Mandarin Oriental partnered to create Whispers Of The Fan, a bespoke fragrance collection inspired by their shared values of heritage, innovation and exceptional hospitality. To develop the scent, Amouage Chief Creative Officer Renaud Salmon and perfumer Suzy Le Helley travelled to Hong Kong and Bangkok, the historic homes of the Mandarin Oriental brand. Drawing inspiration from the group’s iconic 11-bladed fan emblem, they selected 11 notes representing the journey’s most memorable impressions, including lemongrass, mandarin, coconut, ginger, lotus, jasmine, rice, tea, bamboo, incense and silk. Together, these notes create a subtle yet lasting fragrance that reflects attentive, understated luxury. The scent features across six premium amenities: shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash, lotion and soap. Made from 97% natural and organic ingredients, the vegan, cruelty-free collection is presented in sustainable refillable packaging designed to reduce plastic waste and environmental impact.
A Modern Ode to Parisian Elegance
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its flagship at 6 Place Vendôme, Repossi introduces exclusive new creations that reinterpret its signature jewellery codes through a contemporary, architectural lens. The highlight is the Serti sur Vide Vendôme Edition brooch, inspired by the column of Place Vendôme and crafted in white gold with pavé diamonds, crowned by a floating pear-shaped diamond that reflects the collection’s iconic empty setting aesthetic. Alongside it, the maison expands the Serti sur Vide line with four new pink gold pieces, including asymmetrical earrings, a Baby ring and a pendant, all set with pear-shaped diamonds. These warmer-toned designs reinterpret the original white gold creations while maintaining the collection’s minimalist, floating-diamond signature. Founded in 1957 and shaped across generations, Repossi continues to merge heritage, modern art and architectural design into bold, avant-garde jewellery from its historic home in Place Vendôme.
Heritage Monogram Reimagined
Louis Vuitton launched the Monogram Emblème to mark 130 years of its Monogram motif. The design reinterprets the iconic pattern as a tactile jacquard canvas inspired by early cotton trunk coverings. It uses GOTS-certified cotton and linen to produce a durable, waterrepellent fabric with a denser, embroidery-like pattern. The canvas features rich colours from the house palette, achieved with five threads for depth. New shades include Peuplier, inspired by trunk wood, and Rose Ruban, referencing historic ribbon details. Later releases in September 2026 will include Monogram Bleu from the 1930s archives and Vert Jura, inspired by Louis Vuitton’s native landscape. The fabric will appear across key bags such as Alma, Neverfull, Speedy, Noé, Keepall and Side Trunk, as well as leather goods, shoes and accessories, reinforcing the brand’s heritage as a travel and luggage maker through innovative, heritage-driven textile design and craftsmanship.
Sun-Soaked Style
FARM Rio’s Summer 2026 collection places football culture at the heart of the season with the launch of Together We Play, a capsule celebrating the spirit of match days and Brazilian pride. Designed for fans around the world, the collection features T-shirts, caps, totes, key holders and tropical-print pieces in Brazil’s iconic yellow and green colours, blending sport, community and fashion. The football-inspired offering sits alongside the second chapter of the AS CARIOCAS campaign, which continues to celebrate Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant identity through bold prints, artisanal craftsmanship and effortless summer dressing. Highlights include nature-inspired motifs, playful bubble-hem silhouettes, 3D embellished dresses featuring seaside elements and versatile matching sets. The collection also introduces travel-ready essentials through the To-Go capsule, including swimwear, cover-ups, accessories and vacation-focussed pieces designed to capture the carefree energy of a Brazilian summer.
Urban Wear Collab
MANGO and Eckhaus Latta (a New York and Los Angeles-based fashion label designed by Zoe Latta and Mike Eckhaus) collaborate on a summer capsule under the MANGO COLLECTIVE platform, blending conceptual design with functional, urban wearability. Eckhaus Latta, known for experimental materials, inclusive design and real-world clothing, brings its signature approach to a collection focussed on lightweight textures, bold prints, layering and unconventional finishes. The range features denim with foil effects, overdye treatments, sheer fabrics, knitwear colour mixes and aquatic-inspired prints, alongside minimalist 1990s cuts and asymmetrical silhouettes. Accessories complement the organic forms, emphasising versatility for everyday summer dressing. The collection explores personal expression through subtle, subversive styling choices that challenge conventional fashion rules while remaining practical. It reflects MANGO’s commitment to collaborating with emerging design voices through MANGO COLLECTIVE, which highlights niche creativity and shared aesthetic values.
