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.

Maison Dior is delighted to announce the opening of a Café Dior in Chengdu, orchestrated by Anne-Sophie Pic, the world’s most Michelin-starred female chef.

The opening marks an exciting new chapter in the creative dialogue between Dior and Anne-Sophie Pic, who has created an elegant, gourmet culinary offering for the Café Dior in Chengdu around the oval, a symbol forever linked with the storied history of 30 Montaigne, elevated by an interplay of textures and colors.

Signature Dior emblems such as the cannage and the couture bow, as well as the revolutionary New Look appear in divine embellishments for appetizers. The desserts revisit timeless Dior codes such as the Granville rose and the toile de Jouy, metamorphosing into veritable works of art.

Inviting fresh connections between the arts and eras, these delicious narratives also pay homage to the spirit of legendary dishes created by André Pic, the chef’s grandfather, as well as  La Cuisine Cousu-main, an exquisite tome featuring Christian Dior’s favorite dishes, magnificently illustrated with drawings by René Gruau.

Café Dior by Anne-Sophie Pic is a poetic fusion of fashion and culinary savoir-faire , offering a uniquely enchanting multi-sensory experience.

Inspired by women on the move, Guillaume Henry has created a subtle wardrobe for exciting days and elegant evenings. Presented under the skylight at the Palais de Tokyo, the looks are dominated by bold associations of black, red and white.

Hands in pockets, striding in high-shine boots, Patou silhouettes have a decidedly confident allure, replete with chain-link necklaces, gilded buttons and metallic fastenings against soft wool or glossy faux leather. Translucent floral motifs emphasize the curves of busts and leg lines.

These chic city dwellers stroll with waists accentuated by wide belts, recognizable by the Patou logo on their sleeve. Coats, trenchcoats and edgy bomber jackets are for women in a hurry. Flare necklines top short skirts. Longer cut evening gowns are as scintillating as the lights of Paris. Urban energy is an eternal source of inspiration, fueled by fashion in the street.
