Marking ten years of collaboration, Disney and Pandora unveil a dazzling new collection, celebrating 15 fan-favourite designs with an exclusive campaign styled by the visionary Harry Lambert. Since introducing the Disney Classics collection in 2015, Pandora has enchanted fans with jewellery inspired by some of Disney’s most beloved stories. This latest selection — modelled by international icons Lindsey Wixson, Berit Heitmann, and Arnelle Slot — brings together 15 best-selling rings, charms, and earrings, each infused with nostalgia and magic. Designed to capture the wonder of Disney, the collection invites fans to embrace their inner storyteller through timeless accessories.

Renowned for his bold, fashion-forward aesthetic, Lambert weaves his signature creativity into the campaign, reminding fans that magic is everywhere — you just have to see it. “In a recent conversation with my mum, she reminded me that it had been 30 years since my first visit to Disney World,” explains Lambert. “I remember so clearly entering the world of Disney and feeling overcome with joy, a place of fantasy which to this day still inspires my work. I am thrilled to have worked on this campaign with Pandora. I love any chance to take inspiration from such iconic characters and transform it into fashion. I even had so much fun on the shoot that I gifted my mum one of the Winnie the Pooh charms and she now wears it every day.”

Among the standout pieces are the Evil Queen-inspired ring and Apple Dangle Charm, as well as the Cinderella Carriage Ring and Glass Slipper Dangle Charm — stunning tributes to Cinderella’s 75th anniversary. Fans of Lilo & Stitch will adore the Stitch-inspired charm, perfectly capturing the mischievous blue alien, while Pixar enthusiasts will find sentiment in the Up House and Balloons charm, a nod to the film’s uplifting storytelling.

The collection is available now, both in-store and online.

For its 2025 artist collaboration, Ruinart partners with Julian Charrière, a Franco-Swiss artist whose work explores the intersections of time, geology, and human impact. Known for blending scientific research with poetic storytelling, Charrière challenges how we perceive nature — not as something separate from us, but as a force constantly shaped by human history and intervention. Conversations with Nature brings this perspective to Ruinart’s terroir, transforming the Champagne house’s deep connection to the land into an artistic dialogue that spans millennia.  

Ruinart’s selection of Charrière is a natural fit. The Maison has long been at the forefront of sustainability in winemaking, from regenerative viticulture to eco-designed packaging. Charrière’s work adds another layer, questioning how human activity reshapes the environment and what it means to engage with nature in a time of ecological urgency. “At the heart of my work lies the notion of encounter — an intimate dialogue with place, biome, and environment. These moments are not mere observations but exchanges, where landscape and presence intertwine, shaping one another in a quiet, reciprocal conversation,” he explains.  

Champagne’s limestone-rich soil holds traces of an ancient sea that once covered much of Europe. Forty-five million years ago, the region was submerged under the Lutetian Sea, a vast marine world whose fossilised remains still shape the land. The chalk pits (crayères) beneath Ruinart’s vineyards are ghostly echoes of this past, a reminder that landscapes are never static — they carry the memory of deep geological time.

Charrière pays tribute to this lost ocean while reflecting on the fragile state of today’s marine ecosystems. His Conversations with Nature series includes a collection of photo lithographs capturing coral reefs — luminous, living structures that mirror the prehistoric marine forests that once thrived beneath Champagne. Using a 19th-century lithographic process, Charrière reimagines these corals through pigments sourced from locally collected limestone and crushed corals. The muted, pale tones evoke the fading vitality of these ecosystems, suggesting both the resilience of nature and its vulnerability in the face of environmental change.  

Beyond these prints, Charrière transforms Ruinart’s crayères into an immersive installation. At 4 Rue des Crayères, a subterranean vault becomes an echo chamber where the memory of the Lutetian Sea collides with the imperilled frequencies of today’s coral reefs. 

Unlike a traditional gallery exhibition, Conversations with Nature is designed as a multi-sensory experience. Through large-scale installations, geological textures, and soundscapes, Charrière invites viewers to engage with Champagne’s terroir in a way that goes beyond observation. The collaboration reinforces Ruinart’s vision of Champagne as a product of time, landscape, and human ingenuity.  

Charrière’s artworks will debut at Art Basel Hong Kong from 28–30 March, before traveling to Miart, Berlin Gallery Weekend, Art Basel Basel, Frieze Seoul, and Art Basel Paris. The installation at 4 Rue des Crayères will open in June 2025, offering an ongoing meditation on the deep time embedded in the landscape of Champagne.

On the eve of Loewe‘s autumn showcase, Jonathan Anderson took to his personal Instagram, sharing a montage celebrating his 11-year journey as the brand’s creative director, from glimpses of the runway to Rihanna’s unforgettable Super Bowl appearance to playful snippets of Jennifer Coolidge and other celebrities deliberately mispronouncing the label’s name. It seems like Loewe is on the precipice of transformation and the AW collection represented that. Crowds of fans gathered behind barricades outside the venue on Rue de l’Université — the former residence of the legendary Karl Lagerfeld. Inside, the space was transformed into an exhibition-like setting where art pieces, design objects, and handcrafted works seamlessly coexisted with Loewe’s women’s and men’s collections, all displayed on mannequins.

Every corner of the 18th-century mansion’s lavish rooms reflected Anderson’s distinctive design ethos and cultural acumen. The presentation embraced the surreal, with colossal sculptures of tomatoes, an apple, and a pumpkin by Anthea Hamilton punctuating the 17 opulent chambers. The still-life format suited this particular collection, which leaned into sculptural silhouettes. Menswear featured wind-swept peacoats crafted from molded leather, a trapeze-shaped field jacket, and baseball T-shirts reimagined as capes, their raglan sleeves dramatically oversized. The softer side of menswear emerged in tartan mohair coats with scarf-like sleeves and knitted suits adorned with striped lapels — a nod to David Hockney’s artistic flair — all casually draped over vintage chairs.

For womenswear, the collection offered sleek leather coats accented with cotton shirting bibs, fluid jersey gowns channeling the Roaring ’20s, and cocktail dresses bursting with color, constructed from sweeping strands of beaded organza reminiscent of glowing fiber-optic threads. Craftsmanship took center stage, with Josef Albers’ “Homage to the Square” paintings meticulously translated into pleated skirts, dresses, and Loewe’s iconic Flamenco, Squeeze, and Amazona bags. Adding to the visual intrigue, printed cellophane was finely shredded into fringe and layered over a houndstooth robe coat, creating a shimmering, three-dimensional effect.

The experience concluded with a preview of Loewe’s “Crafted World” exhibition, set to open in Tokyo later this month following its successful debut in Shanghai in early 2024.
