‘Tis the time to be jolly, it’s the season of gift-giving, gift-receiving and a cocktail of two.
Ferragamo invites the celebration of festive joy through a new project inspired by the house’s heritage and Salvatore Ferragamo’s brilliance. At the core is Ferragamo’s innovative gift-wrapping service, where each present is wrapped like a piece of candy. Salvatore Ferragamo famously made shoes from cellophane candy wrappers during times of scarcity, inspiring the house to honour his creativity.
Each gift, wrapped with care and adorned with elegant ribbons and bows, features Ferragamo’s handcrafted shoes, bags, and silk scarves, alongside colourful jellies, shimmering candies, and sugared fruits, all evoking timeless Italian festive traditions. In-store, guests can enjoy creative workshops, while online, Ferragamo shares gift-wrapping videos as a gesture of love, gratitude, and seasonal joy. Celebrate the holiday spirit with a collection designed to delight every recipient.
Louis Vuitton invites a magical adventure through its latest Holiday campaign, centred around an enchanted carousel ride. Set against a snowy landscape, the carousel transports revelers on a journey through dreamlike scenes, celebrating the spirit of travel and the joy of the season. As riders board, adorned with intricately crafted animal figures, they soar over snow-capped peaks, float through whimsical clouds, skim tranquil seas, and glide past illuminated city skylines.
The journey culminates in a festive firework display over the iconic Place Vendôme in Paris. Throughout the ride, Louis Vuitton’s iconic designs accompany passengers, embodying the House’s travel heritage and commitment to magical holiday moments. The campaign highlights a selection of Louis Vuitton products, including ready-to-wear, leather goods, travel accessories, fine jewellery, and hard-sided creations – perfect for discerning gift-givers as 2024 comes to a close.
The soft-to-the-touch LV Crush Damoflage wool beanie reinterprets Pharrell Williams’s bold print in a blend of black and grey tones.

The LV Crush Monogram Beanie invites tactile interaction. This ultra-cosy hat is crafted from soft, breathable wool and knitted using an innovative 3D technique that brings the Monogram motif to life. The result is a distinctive design that injects fresh energy into colder days.
Turning to LV bags, the Speedy P9 returns in tonal black and sun-faded fluro colours, now available in multiple sizes, including the new Speedy 30.

Discover the new High Winter capsule collection from Casadei, an invitation to experience winter in style and sophistication. A collection characterised by stylishness, comfort and refinement, showcasing the expertise of Italian craftsmen. Made from synthetic fur, this capsule collection stands out for its variety: from the Polar boot, available in two colour variations, adorned with the iconic C-chain logo embedded in the fur and fitted with a rubber sole for superior grip, to the Campiglio mule, featuring a rhinestone band.
A key piece in the collection is the Ortisei double-face boot, decorated with rhinestones and equipped with a rubber sole, perfect for navigating cold winter weather with style. To complete the winter look, Ortisei bags serve as the ideal accessories. Available in multiple sizes, these minimalist designer bags feature a leather handle. For evening events, the Blade Ortisei clutch bag, which can be worn as a shoulder bag or carried by hand, is finished with the C-chain logo in high relief, ensuring a secure grip.
It is a delicate dance between nature and art. For Resort 2025, David Koma explores the profound metamorphosis where the boundaries between human and animal, primal and sophisticated, dissolve into a single harmonious entity. The collection celebrates the eternal cycle of change, where garments stand as a testament to the beauty found in the convergence of the organic and the crafted.
This season, the designer’s signature embroidery manifests as organic faceted crystals, scattered across transparent beige power mesh bikini pants or black silky cowhide sleeveless jackets, reminiscent of the natural spots of a deer. Irregular crystal buckles suspend draped tailoring wool and liquid jersey diagonally across the wearer’s body. Silver metallic chains form long skirts, armour-like tops, and drape from satin scarves and necklines, creating a waterfall effect. Across the shoulders and hips, crystallised claw details cinch ruched fluid jersey to create ornate yet fiercely animalistic designs.
As the festive season approaches, JACQUEMUS reveals its new Holiday collection, ‘WINTER RETREAT’.
