Fashion's Freshest Power Pieces

A season's worth of indulgence, wrapped in wool, silk, and more logos than your bank balance can justify

New season, new temptations. The luxury houses are flexing their tailoring, textiles, and storytelling, packaging them into pieces that feel less like fashion and more like artifacts of cultural capital. From Dior’s sculptural pink jacket to Pharrell and Nigo’s playful reworking of Louis Vuitton’s Speedy, here are the drops that matter right now.

LOUIS VUITTON SPEEDY 25 BANDOULIÈRE

Price: Rs 2.59 lakh

Pharrell and Nigo treat the Speedy like a canvas. Damier Ebene becomes Damier Phriendship, covered with portraits and finished with a graphic lining designed by Nigo. Every crafted detail adds to its weight as an artefact of culture, not just a bag. A Speedy that is as collectible as it is functional.
