According to Prada — repetition is a suggestion of clarity and not an intuitive mistake. Its returning holiday collection speaks volumes of just how its continual play on fantasy informs one’s day-to-day desires. Available from December and through January ‘22, the Prada holiday collection is a design of dreams for those seeking to obtain a piece of the House’s genuine take on fashion, without the hassle of idealised trends.
Mirroring the elusive quality of light through stained glass — classic, simple, yet refined and unique — the collection features its latest rhinestone-studded oeuvre fused with classic Re-nylon fixtures in a line-up of ready-to-wear pieces and accessories for both men and women.
The Art in Craft: The holiday tradition of Loewe’s special capsule released at the end of the year is usually antiquated with novelty items that typically resonates as a gift of art, craft, and workmanship. This time, the return of the special capsule lands its focus on a collection of ready-to-wear and accessories that pays tribute to artists from Britain’s 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement, and in particular, the rehash of British architect and designer Charles Francis Annesley Voysey’s seminal prints. Voysey’s wallpaper design, ‘The Owl’ is reflected on an intarsia wool cardigan, a wallet, a Pocket and a Drawstring pouch, while his Herbarium florals are embroidered and blown up to blooming massive proportions on floor-length wool coats and printed over Hammock and Puzzle bags.
Faces of Winter: Ermenegildo Zegna has responded to the woes of separation with two collections that reflect the current state of dressing with clothes that are both ideal for home and the outside. As its certain that staying at home for the holiday is evident this year, its gift edit for 2021 of a complete home wardrobe, featuring leisurewear in premium materials like vicuna and cashmere, signals a rightful end of the year.
Curated selections of ultra-soft pyjamas, slippers, and blankets — all in the House’s detailed eye on expertly engineered materials — is a honest suggestion of gifts for loved ones, especially as it has a larger significance this year.
Something Old, Something New: Valentino’s newest vintage depository initiative documents everything one loves about obtaining old items rich in history — by upgrading the stories of these lived-in garments for yet another destined chapter, Unfolding in two phases, the Valentino Vintage project invites customers to submit archival pieces for an appraisal in selected stores worldwide.
Once the checks have been made and approved, one can choose to pass the items on to the store in exchange for store credits — which can then be used to purchase in-season items. The collection of archival pieces will then be transformed, re-imagined and manicured to be sold a selection of Valentino Vintage pieces from January 2022.
