Loewe has opened its new CASA Loewe Shanghai flagship store, located at in the heart of the Jing’an district, on the central crossroads of Nanjing West and Changde Road. The striking 695 m²  space is the largest Loewe flagship store in Asia, offering a total immersion into its universe, and featuring a complete range of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, bags, small leather goods, accessories, eyewear, shoes, jewellery, home scents, and store-specific products.

CASA Loewe Shanghai embodies the house’s singular approach to fashion, design, and art. The striking architecture plays on contrasts with a shimmering gold ceramic façade constructed from tiles that are handcrafted and enamelled in Spain, creating reflective, dynamic ripples of light. Interior shades of white, brown, gold, orange, and green play off marble, brass, glass, and oak. Both minimalist and textured, the space expresses Loewe’s signature fusion of modernity and craft.

Conceived as a vibrant collector’s home, CASA Loewe Shanghai showcases a thoughtfully curated selection of furniture—including Utrecht armchairs by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld and Axel Vervoordt’s serene floating stone tables —plus a selection of works by exceptional artists and artisans. Ceramics by John Ward, woven bamboo pieces by Hafu Matsumoto, and Ernst Gamperl’s oak vessel underline Loewe’s engagement with exquisite craftsmanship in every form. Vibrant paintings by Ken Price and Mahesh Baliga further enhance an immersive experience.

Two additional pieces will later join the store: Japanese ceramicist Takayuki Sakiyama’s stoneware sculpture Chōtō (Listening to the waves), which received a Loewe Foundation Craft Prize special mention in 2021; and Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2022 winner Dahye Jong’s horsehair and stainless steel spheres, commissioned as part of the Loewe Lamps Project (2024).

Moët & Chandon announced the global launch of a limited-edition collection in collaboration with artist Pharrell Williams on March 1st.

This new collaboration for the Maison puts birthday celebrations center stage, inspired by shared values of  collective spirit, optimism and human connection. Moët & Chandon and Pharrell Williams come together to reimagine the birthday experience through the eyes of those who celebrate with you, creating moments that are both universal and deeply personal, where every detail is crafted to honor those who gather to celebrate.

Each day, 22 million people around the world mark their birthdays, a ritual filled with the joy and gratitude of those who make the occasion unforgettable. For this unique collaboration, Moet & Chandon and Pharrell Williams delved into the archives of the House and found that today’s iconic tie on the bottle was a bow in 1889. Symbolizing togetherness, generosity, joy and surprise, the bow becomes a key element of this Limited Edition Collection.

The collection proposes Moët Brut Impérial dressed in Gold, Midnight Blue and Deep Red, as well as white for Nectar Impérial Rosé. The creations are signed by Pharrell with a pearled monogram of his initials,  P.W. The Bow Capsule adorned with pearled beads is crafted by embroiderers Atelier Baqué Molinié. The Jewel Masterpiece,  a 3-liter Jeroboam of Brut Impérial – of which only 30 handcrafted pieces have been made – is available through the Moët Hennessy Private Sales service.

Launched on March 1st, the Moet & Chandon Pharrell Limited Edition Collection is available at selected retail, gastronomy and hotel spaces, in the Moet & Chandon Bars in Epernay, at Harrods in London, and at Kadewe in Berlin.
