This special cross-category collection for men and women comprises ready-to-wear, soft accessories, luggage and shoes, as well as tents and sleeping bags — most of which feature exclusive The North Face X Gucci logos and prints or are based on original designs from The North Face in the 1970s. The two brands also design within the parameters of their eco-sustainable commitments. The luggage items are specifically made with ECONYL®— a nylon fabric sourced from regenerated materials (fish nets, carpets and other scraps) that can be recycled and recreated, and archival fabrics have also been partially incorporated to give them a new life.

The collection will be distributed through distinctly designed stores and ephemeral Gucci Pins (pop-up stores), where special bright floral patterns of the range will be used to dress the spaces and effect façade takeovers. A limited selection will also be available on gucci.com, with some exciting online exclusives. When two titans meet, the possibilities are only limited by imagination — hopefully some pieces are still available by the time one is done reading this sentence.

The New Year — especially the Lunar New Year — signifies the ushering spirit of renewal and invigorating, revitalised energy. The incoming Lunar Ox is a symbol of strength, diligence and persistence, so Christian Louboutin hits it right on the money/“huat” with the optimistic and courageous Lunar New Year Collection. The collection features refreshed signature styles in limited-edition colourways and materials including a debut of Fizz — a vibrant feel-good orange that ventures to boost 2021 with boldness.

The House also delves into the archives for abstract and geometric images of fabrics, leathers and artworks to build the unique and colourful patchwork- effect Satin Sapeur print. Christian Louboutin’s Lunar New Year collection is set to prime fans for an outstanding year to come.

Inspired by the technical demands and effervescent activity of a photographer’s life, Ermenegildo Zegna’s Insta-Pack crossbody bag is also a remedy to everyone’s sagging pants. Large enough to fit daily essentials with a whole lot of room for more, the Insta-Pack vies to be everyone’s choice of everyday bag. Designed with sleek, clean lines and shapes that reflect the Zegna ethos of precision, the Insta- Pack also features sartorial details and a vintage Zegna logo from 1980 designed by the renowned graphic designer Bob Noorda.

The rest of Zegna’s SS’21 collection are embedded with pockets and zips to create space and a feeling of expansion, and the Insta-Pack echoes these sentiments perfectly.
