• GANT Introduces The Gant House in London

    Written by Jahwanna Berglund

    Just in time for preppy season, GANT brings its Scandinavian lens on East Coast style to the heart of Mayfair. For its Fall/Winter 2025 campaign, the Swedish brand has transformed the acclaimed restaurant Mister Nice into The Gant House a month-long experience where fashion, food and culture come together.

    The journey begins in The Dining Room, an elegant yet welcoming space that channels the warmth of East Coast hospitality. For one month, Mister Nice serves a specially created menu where American classics are given a French twist. The dishes arrive on dinnerware designed with references to GANT’s collegiate style, while small details  from matchboxes to coasters subtly nod to Ivy League traditions. It is dining, but with layers of storytelling woven through every element.

    Beyond the dining room lies The Lounge, a moodier corner lined with dark wood and softly lit to encourage long conversations over wine. Guests can discover carefully chosen vintages, linger over classic board games or lose themselves in the retro-inspired soundtrack. On Friday evenings the atmosphere shifts again, with rotating programs of music and art that place GANT’s heritage in conversation with contemporary culture.

    A few steps away at 20 Davies Street, the story continues. Here, GANT has opened a pop-up boutique presenting a curated edit of the Fall/Winter 2025 collection. Signature shirts, tailored blazers, knitwear, outerwear, shoes and accessories carry the same balance of refinement and ease that has defined the brand for decades. It is an invitation to bring a piece of The Gant House into everyday life.

    “We wanted to create more than a traditional campaign, an experience that truly captures the soul of GANT,” explains Fredrik Malm, EVP Global Commercial, Brand & Product at GANT. “By bringing food, culture and style together under one roof, and by opening a curated pop-up, we are inviting our community to engage with both our heritage and our modern expression.”

    The Gant House opened during London Fashion Week on September 18 with a housewarming party for the brand’s closest friends. From September 19 to October 15, the takeover at Mister Nice and the pop-up on Davies Street welcome the public into this world of East Coast elegance reimagined in the heart of Mayfair.

    SÉZANE: A Fall Chapter

    Written by Ulrika Lindqvist

    In Paris, la rentrée is more than just the return after summer, it's a cultural ritual, a fresh start charged with quiet energy and creative possibility. For Sézane, each season begins with that same spark: a reawakening of imagination that threads itself through every piece of the collection.

    The Fall release carries forward what has become synonymous with the house: signature knitwear, vintage-inspired denim, and tailoring honed to effortless perfection. Classics like the Clyde and Bobby trench coats reappear in reimagined versions, while new silhouettes and prints step into the spotlight, adding a sense of discovery to the familiar. This season is not only a wardrobe but a story, one shaped by twelve years of voices, talents, and encounters that continue to define Sézane’s world. Launched on August 24th, the collection marks the beginning of another chapter, imbued with the understated elegance and enduring creativity that the brand has made its own.

    Founded in Paris in 2013, Sézane grew out of Morgane Sézalory’s vision to create timeless, high-quality pieces at fair and accessible prices. What began as a personal project has since evolved into a community-driven brand where creativity, craftsmanship, and connection are at the core. Beyond its celebrated womenswear collections, Sézane extends its universe through Octobre Éditions for men, Petit Sézane for children, and Les Composantes for homeware, each reflecting the same thoughtful design philosophy that has defined the house from the very beginning.

  • Michael Rider Marks His Arrival at Celine with Printemps 2026

    Written by Jahwanna Berglund

    The first campaign under Michael Rider’s creative direction at Celine has arrived, and it is nothing short of a statement. Shot by Zoë Ghertner, the Printemps 2026 campaign introduces Rider’s vision for the house with a cool precision, leaning into intimacy rather than spectacle. Kylie and Victoria, who both walked the Paris show in July, return as the campaign’s protagonists embodying Rider’s debut with a stripped-back elegance.

    At its heart lies the rebirth of an icon: the Luggage. Originally launched over a decade ago, the silhouette now returns as the New Luggage, unveiled on Rider’s debut runway and carried into the campaign as a centerpiece. The standout detail, the so-called “Smile Variation,” lends the bag a subtle playfulness that balances Celine’s reputation for understatement.

    The New Luggage is offered in supple, shiny lambskin across black, tan, citrus, oxide blue, and deep brown, alongside suede calfskin in beige and exotic Porosus crocodile in rich tones of black and chocolate. Oversized east–west shapes sit alongside smaller formats, each defined by versatility and Rider’s attention to construction and texture.

    The first drop, featuring the “Smile Variation,” will pre-launch at the end of September on celine.com and in select stores, before the full collection lands worldwide in mid-November.

    For Rider, stepping into Hedi Slimane’s shadow might have been daunting. Yet his first campaign suggests a different rhythm: less about a clean break, more about layering heritage with a modern sensibility. If Slimane’s Celine was razor-sharp and restless, Rider’s debut hints at a quieter confident one that extends the conversation between past and present without losing its edge.
