The Fashion releases currently on our radar

Fashion doesn’t take a summer break

– even if we’d recommend it to slow down before the September Fashion Weeks, which is, basically around the corner.
Not ones to complain, all these new exciting releases are getting us inspired for the months to come. Between Delvaux and Odeem coming out with our next favourite bags, Jimmy Choo going all Cowboy Core or Celine pushing us towards the direction of the gym in the coolest way possible, we’re only a few dips in the sea away from a super fashionable second semester.

DELVAUX RELEASES FIRST EVER TOTE, L’AIRESS

Delvaux, founded in Brussels in 1829 and known as the world’s oldest fine leather goods house, continues its tradition of innovation with L’Airess. The brand is recognized for its significant contributions to the luxury handbag market, including filing the first-ever leather handbag patent in 1908. Delvaux’s rich history includes creating iconic bags like The Brillant, The Tempête, and The Cool Box, reflecting its longstanding heritage and commitment to quality and design.

Delvaux’s first tote, L’Airess, stands out with its bold design and architectural elements, showcasing the brand’s adventurous spirit. The tote redefines the concept of a practical bag with its assertive lines, generous proportions, and a unique use of perforations that create a playful, semi-transparent effect. These perforations not only add a modernist aesthetic but also allow a glimpse into the bag’s interior, playing on the theme of visibility and concealment.

L’Airess draws inspiration from the revolutionary 1946 Avia Airess line of suitcases, which featured a lightweight yet durable construction ideal for air travel. This lineage is evident in L’Airess’s design, which mimics the form of aircraft wings and is crafted in luxurious taurillon leather, available in two large sizes. Its design cleverly blends brutalist and delicate elements, appealing to both masculine and feminine aesthetics, achieving a harmonious and balanced look.

&OTHER STORIES COLLABORATES WITH ARTIST BRIANNA LANCE

Brianna Lance, who transitioned from a career in fashion to painting, says she was drawn to the project of working with Swedish brand &Other Stories, particularly for its innovative use of zero-waste patterns. The collaboration came about through mutual connections and shared artistic values with Frida Billegren, the Atelier Designer at & Other Stories. Lance’s transition to art was spurred by the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period that led her to rediscover her passion for painting and happiness in creating art.

This special colleciton for Summer 2024 collection includes two kaftans, a dress, and a jumpsuit, featuring zero-waste patterns and is adorned with Lance’s watercolor artworks depicting mystical and symbolic imagery. Lance’s artwork integrates elements like pomegranates and eyes, each bearing deep symbolic meanings. The garments are produced with a focus on sustainability, using a zero-waste pattern-making method that ensures no fabric is wasted and employs digital printing for high-quality artwork application.

The collection aims to make art accessible, allowing people to «live with the artwork» through fashion rather than investing in expensive paintings. This approach not only makes the art accessible but also promotes sustainable fashion practices.
