Here’s everything else you need to know this month.
Where: Online at stellamccartney.com and at Stella McCartney’s New York City store
Why: Longtime collaborators Stella McCartney and Jeff Koons have partnered again on a new limited-edition capsule collection, with a fun and flirty campaign starring Amelia Gray. The collection features Koons’s “Untitled (Girl with Dolphin and Monkey)” artwork with Stella’s “Slippery When Wet” slogan from her 2001 debut, as well as illustrations of Koons’s Yorkshire Terriers and Poodle sculptures, all on tees, tanks, hoodies, and accessories. The capsule is both cute and kitschy, playful, and sexy, while nodding to the artist and designer’s shared love of animals. A selection of pieces signed by Koons and McCartney will be available to shop at the Stella McCartney New York City store, while the entire collaboration is available to shop online now.
What: An intimate dinner celebrating DEMAIN with Libraries Without Borders
Where: 254 Elizabeth Street, New York City
Why: To mark the eighth anniversary of DEMAIN and its longstanding partnership with Libraries Without Borders, Sézane transformed its Elizabeth Street store into a Beauty and the Beast-caliber library, hosting an intimate, candlelit dinner with close friends of the brand including Leslie Bibb, Molly Gordon, and Sarita Choudhury. Founder Morgane Sézalory flew in for the occasion, serving as both hostess and steward of her philanthropic initiative, which has raised more than $15 million in support of women’s health initiatives and equal access to rights and resources for children.
Why: Silvia Tcherassi is breathing new life into her iconic Cartagena boutique. The space, which the brand has called home for over 20 years, has undergone an expansion and renovation, featuring mid-century modern and Art Deco motifs while still honoring historic Colombian design elements. To celebrate the flagship’s newly designed room, Tcherassi’s daughter and director of ready-to-wear, Sofia, has hand-curated a capsule collection, now available exclusively at the Cartagena location.
What: 2026 Olympic celebrations and initiatives
Why: As Milan prepares for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, EA7 Emporio Armani begins its series of initiatives supporting the events. The brand, which is the official outfitter of Italy’s athletes, will host multiple activations throughout the Games to create an immersive experience for visitors and enthusiasts. Four locations will serve as points of interest—the Emporio Armani store, the Triennale, Casa EA7, and the Armani Hotel—with Casa EA7 broadcasting video content and podcasts with athletes, coaches, and special guests throughout the Games. Participants who visit all four activations and collect “trail” stamps at each will even receive a gift at the Emporio Armani store.
Where: Online at canadagoose.com and in select retail stores
Why: The latest drop of Snow Goose by Haider Ackermann and Canada Goose has arrived with a winter-cool campaign starring Willie Nelson and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. The new collection is a wintry mix of mint green, lavender, and cool neutrals, complete with reflective accents and performance considerations that are technical but ultra-wearable. Early access to the capsule drop is available online now.
Why: Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogram is officially 130 years old. To mark the occasion, the French maison is staging a special pop-up in its SoHo boutique in New York City. Guests are invited to explore immersive installations that display the motif across some of the house’s most beloved silhouettes, including the Speedy, Neverfull, and Alma, in the store’s uniquely designed rooms, bar, and terrace.
Why: Following a surprise lookbook debut and initial in-store teasing in September, the full offering of Demna’s first Gucci collection, titled “La Famiglia,” is officially here. Each look invites customers into the world of archetypes that the designer playfully explores, from “La Bomba” to “Incazzata.” Demna also interprets and incorporates iconic house codes such as the GG monogram and the Jackie silhouette.
Why: Following its collaborations with the Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022, and Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Skims reunites with Team USA for an athletic capsule collection ahead of the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic and Paralympic Games. The collaboration features both men’s and womenswear pieces across loungewear and athleticwear—modeled by a powerful assortment of Team USA athletes, including World Ice Dance champion Madison Chock and World Cup gold medalist bobsledder Kaysha Love.
