Firstly, local label Peachy Den has tapped modern muse Mia Khalifa for its AW25 collection, which acts as a love letter to the fearless, freewheeling energy of 1970s bohemian London. Inspired by the Brigitte Bardot sex kittens of the world, Peachy Den has found the perfect ambassador in Khalifa, whose boundary-pushing confidence embodies the collection’s care-free and sensual spirit. The campaign itself fuses quintessentially British swagger with Khalifa’s magnetic Hollywood glamour, showcasing standout pieces like the show-stopping faux-fur Patti Coat and the Cicely Set, an animal-print denim two-piece. The collection is now available at peachyden.co.uk.
Next, eyewear brand Vooglam has released its first ever collaboration with streetwear label TOMBOGO, marrying high fashion and high function. Founded by Tommy Bogo in 2020 as an “experiential learning outlet”, TOMBOGO has designed five styles that treat eyewear as an innovation for far more than bettering one’s vision. This is perhaps best seen in The Programmer, possibly the first glasses to moonlight as a hard drive with a 64GB USB built into the acetate frame. The Architect, then, features climbing carabiners on the arms for reasons both aesthetic and vaguely practical. The Decoder can be described as ‘wearable architecture’ and The Utilitarian has a removable compass and spirit level. Dropping 16 December 16 at vooglam.com and Tombogo.com , the collection is what happens when utilitarian design gets a maximalist makeover; Y2K style meets Silicon Valley innovation. The fifth style drops at the start of next year, so keep an eye out for that, too.
Next, is one of the coolest collaborations of the year. Designer Rick Owens and ‘oral luxury’ brand Selahatin have teamed up to create some truly high-fashion mouth care. The collection includes whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, an Eau d’Extrait oral spray, and a handcrafted horn toothbrush with boar bristles. The origin story of the collaboration is equally as interesting: the partnership began when Owens admitted he used Selahatin because he “love[s] their font”, leading to a cheeky Instagram ad by Selahatin featuring the designer and, finally, a collaboration. Selahatin founder Kristoffer Vural even developed a signature Rick Owens aroma — monochrome and architectural, with notes of verbena, Madagascar vanilla, Sichuan pepper and peppermint — designed for someone who, in Owen’ own’ words, “smokes cigarettes, drinks coffee and gin” and perhaps needs something stronger. Shop the collection at rickowens.eu and selahatin.com.
We don’t only cover fashion for humans here. Louis Vuitton has a long history with canine companions — which dates back to a Monogram-adorned dog kennel in 1913 — and the maison has once again proven that man’s best friend deserves luxury, too. Expanding its Dogs’ Collection, Louis Vuitton has introduced practical pieces like collars, leads and harnesses (tested for dog-walk durability), plus standout pieces like the Dog Beret, a leather-covered travel water bowl and a bone-shaped Monogram. What’s more, dog parents can coordinate with matching accessories like a crossbody thermos holder and a hands-free lead. And the crème de la crème? Louis Vuitton’s personalisation service lets you stamp your dog’s name onto select items. Very fancy. Shop at louisvuitton.com.
Harrods is equally renowned for its crazy technology as it is its fashion, and now the department store is combining the two with VERTU. The item in question is an AI ring, which resembles a personal intelligence concierge as much as a piece of jewellery. The ring doesn’t just track your wellness — though it does do that: monitoring temperature, stress and recovery via a sensor — but also connects directly to VERTU’s Intelligent Platform for voice-controlled services. Think: reminders, instant information and personalised health guidance. It also goes beyond any other health ring you’ll find appearance-wise, coming in finishes from diamond and gold to crystal glass and durable resin in various colours. Shop it exclusively at Harrods, Knightsbridge.
