As the fashion world pivots from show season to new-season drops, luxury houses aren’t slowing down. In April, the need-to-know news in fashion centres around heritage brands returning to their roots, creative forces spotlight the women shaping the industry, and homegrown labels remind us that sustainability and style are far from mutually exclusive.
Whether it’s a sculptural new It-bag, a documentary worth streaming, or a denim collab designed with purpose, these are the moments rewriting the narrative of modern fashion—one detail at a time.
Loewe’s Madrid Bag Ushers New Era Of Quiet Luxury
Loewe has never been shy about its Spanish roots, and with the debut of the Madrid bag, the brand has taken it’s heritage and rendered it in pure, wearable poetry.
A nod to the city where the house was born in 1846, the Madrid blends traditional leatherwork with sculptural modernity: its soft trapezoid silhouette, pleated sides, and gleaming Pebble clasp are already earmarking it as the season’s most sophisticated investment.
First revealed on the Spring/Summer 2025 runway at the Château de Vincennes, and fronted by Loewe muse Taylor Russell, the bag comes in three sizes and a curated palette that includes Black, Olive, Burnt Red, and Dark Burgundy. Crafted in supple calfskin and lined in nappa, the Madrid is tactile, timeless, and totally transformative.
A Dior Documentary
Since taking the reins at Dior in 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri has made one thing clear: fashion, for her, is a feminist statement. Now, in a new documentary titled HER DIOR—Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Collaborations with Women Artists, the house chronicles the creative partnerships that have defined her tenure—and reshaped the Dior narrative.
Directed by fashion documentarian Loïc Prigent, the film features powerhouse voices like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Judy Chicago and Mickalene Thomas, each of whom has brought their own artistic lens to Chiuri’s vision.
Part retrospective, part rallying cry, HER DIOR is more than a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the atelier—it’s a cinematic tribute to sisterhood, storytelling, and the enduring connection between fashion and art. Stream it now on Dior’s YouTube channel, and prepare to be inspired.
Twin Faces, Amelia Gray & Gabriette Bechtel For Marc Jacobs Mini Dual Bag Campaign
If there’s one thing we know in fashion, it’s that being in on the internet gossip is one way to make for a lasting campaign. Case in point, Marc Jacobs latest campaign.
In a playful nod to their oft-noted resemblance, models Gabbriette Bechtel and Amelia Gray star in Marc Jacobs’ campaign for the Mini Dual bag.
Captured by photographer Richard Kern, the duo embody a twin-like aesthetic, mirroring each other’s chiseled features and sleek side-parted hair. Set against the backdrop of a New York hotel room, the images capture the models in coordinated tanks and sweatpants, highlighting the Mini Dual bags in denim and white leather. This playful campaign not only spotlights the versatile design of the Mini Dual but also taps into the Y2K nostalgia reminiscent of early 2000s icons that fashion obsessives always return to.
