The Chloé Paddington bag re-release has officially arrived, and it’s even better than we imagined.

In honour of the much-anticipated return of the brand’s beloved 2000s handbag, the Paddington bag campaign is timeless and intimate. Shot by award-winning director Mati Diop on 35mm film, the black-and-white images exude authenticity—a subtle nod to the bag’s history as a companion, not just a commodity. Supermodel Kendall Jenner, actress Aimee Lou Wood and Anna of K-pop group MEOVV are the stars of the campaign. Adding the Paddington to our vision board immediately!

What’s better than a partnership between Nike and Skims? A celebratory performance, of course.

This Wednesday on the steps of The New York Public Library, 50 female athletes clad in the NikeSKIMS debut collection acted in a performance entitled Bodies at Work. The sleek, brown pieces were on full display against the backdrop of ornate marble columns. Picture everything from leggings and shorts to sports bras and jumpsuits. It was a celebration of strong female athletes (and the clothes that empower them) if we ever saw one.

Model, influencer, mother…and now Reformation’s muse. What can’t she do?

Reformation has released its latest collection in collaboration with none other than style icon Nara Smith—and it’s anything but ordinary. The pieces are moody and whimsical with polka dots for days. Think pussycat bow blouses and vintage style dresses. Our fave? The Buttercup Hour Pj Set, because who doesn’t want sleepwear that’s cute enough to wear outside?

What if your outfit could change your life? Well, Silk Laundry says it can.

Founder and creative director Katie Kolodinski hasn’t always been colour-friendly, but her fall 2025 collection, CHROMA, is decidedly vibrant and playful. So, what changed? According to the principles of chromotherapy, the colour you wear can influence your mood, memory and even how others perceive you. Her new collection of 100% silk slips, button-ups and suits taps into the power of colour, from deep gemstone blues to cheerful dandelion yellows. Which one will you choose?
