HOT STEP TO IT, GENTS

Pharrell Williams is on a roll as Louis Vuitton’s creative director, and his latest flex is a collaboration with Timberland that redefines the iconic 6-inch boot. The new Louis Vuitton Timbs feature the classic LV monogram embossed in rich leather, elevating the rugged staple into a high-fashion statement. Available in both signature Timberland cognac and a sleek black colorway, these boots are finished with a custom LV x Timberland tag on the lace panel for that extra touch of luxury. It’s the perfect fusion of streetwear and designer flair, proving Pharrell’s got his finger on the pulse of cool. louisvuitton.com

BLAST FROM THE PAST

When the unsung heroes of Givenchy’s studio team step in for a creative director, the result is a collection that perfectly embodies the longstanding house codes. Their decades of experience shaping the brand’s evolution shine in a masterful Fall-Winter 2024 collection that balances the founder’s gentlemanly panache, reflected in military-style outerwear and refined tailoring, with a touch of opulence and whimsy. This playful aesthetic resulted in au courant interpretations of archival pieces like the maison’s Blouse Blanche, founder Hubert De Givenchy’s go-to, elevating everyday staples within a strong framework of fuss-free silhouettes. Hubert’s signature dressmaker’s coat is reimagined in bold-cut suits and jackets with amplified volumes, in shades from sapphire to black. We also saw the reintroduction of archival motifs in metallic embroidery and crystals. The collection seamlessly toes the line between masculine and feminine with sharp, structured silhouettes accented in sequins, nailing Givenchy’s influential yet nontraditional spirit. givenchy.com
