GET IT, GIRL!

Be the best dressed at any party with the most coveted collab of the year.

The collaboration... Yes, it’s here! H&M announced that Giambattista Valli would be their designer collaboration for 2019 and gave a sneak peek with a pre-collection that got everyone excited. Wait no more, as you can now get your hands on the full collection.

The designer... Giambattista Valli is known for his romantic, voluminous tulles and ruffles, and a signature feminine feel. He has dressed celebs such as Rihanna and Lana Condor.

The collection... He describes the collection to be a feisty and eclectic recap of his style. There will be a range of accessories featuring a lips icon (modelled after Valli’s own lips!) as necklace pendants and belt buckles. This collection is also notable as it will also be Valli’s debut for menswear.

You’ll want... The super-cute tee, the high heels, boots and flat slippers, and all the gorgeous gowns!

GUESS THE STARS

Guess has come out with an astrology-inspired collection called “I Need My Space” (so apt!) where each zodiac sign is associated with a planet, known as a ‘ruler’. The five classical planets of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are joined by the Sun and Moon in defining the seven rulers for each sign.

What's your ruling planet?

In another celestial space, Wanderlust & Co introduces their L’etoile (‘the star’ in French) collection for this holiday season, a tribute to the woman who embraces the flow of the universe yet finds solace in her inner light. Dazzle in the beauty of the cosmic universe with crystal-encrusted wishing stars and hand-etched medallions. We’ve made a wish, already!

These sparkles = MUST!

HERE'S CHEERS

Pastels, slinky silhouettes and delightful accessories will make you very merry!

Spoil yourself with Kate Spade’s Holiday collection. This season, Creative Director Nicole Glass gives the brand’s house codes a refined approach — focusing on colours and opulent textures of velvet, lurex, silk and faux fur in purples, pinks, greys and green; topped with pearls, pavé and bows too, with the concept of a girls’ night out being the inspiration of the collection. One of the key silhouettes include the Toujours bag, a high-functioning everyday satchel with interlocking spades hardware that represents the infinity symbol, loyalty, friendship and love. The Nicola bags also receive seasonal updates in faux fux, smooth glitter leather and hand-embroidered foil, and the Romy bags in crocodileembossed metallic specchio leather.
