c.p. company | the spring/summer 2027 collection

Louis Vuitton.

Few things romanticise the British countryside quite like a picnic. Pharrell Williams, however, has little interest in muddy boots and outdated tweed. Serving as an introduction to Louis Vuitton’s forthcoming Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Williams’ latest Autumn capsule imagines an impeccably dressed weekend escape where picnic blankets become luxury jacquards, hiking gear acquires couture credentials and sandwiches travel inside Monogram luggage.

The capsule continues Williams’ fascination with the modern dandy, exchanging Parisian boulevards for rolling English landscapes. Woodland greens, misty blues, weathered browns, cream, soft sky grey and faded olive capture the changing colours of an overcast countryside afternoon. Touches of gingham, patchwork Damier and painterly Highland-inspired prints introduce a nostalgic, storybook quality to the wardrobe.

Outerwear takes on the lead role – an important choice for the season ahead. Reversible workwear jackets in a wool-cashmere-silk blend conceal Monogram Heritage patterns on one side before revealing understated chest-pocket branding on the other. Lightweight suede overshirts function as jackets, leather zip-up hoodies act as transitional layers and structured wool coats, quilted liners and cotton-wool bombers migrate seamlessly from city streets to country lanes. A standout mink gilet features an intarsia Damier gradient, reworking one of Louis Vuitton’s oldest house codes through rich texturing instead of loud branding.

The Monogram itself populates almost every piece, though rarely in the same form twice. Some versions are faded to resemble a favourite vintage jacket worn for decades, others shrink into miniature Nanogram lining, and embossed leather, tonal jacquards and woven gingham re-evaluate the iconic motif with exceptional subtlety. Scenic illustrations of rivers, forests and rolling valleys drift across mohair, leather and accessories – each landscape cleverly concealing Monogram flowers among the painted foliage.

Williams saves the biggest talking points for the leather goods in what is possibly the chicest bag lineup of recent times. The Picnic Keepall 45 arrives wrapped in an astonishing trompe-l’œil woven basket finish, complete with side pockets and an apple-shaped leather luggage tag lifted straight from a gourmet hamper. Alongside it sits the new LV Louis Bear bag charm, carrying its own miniature picnic basket filled with tiny food accessories to satisfy high-end collectors.

The House simultaneously expands its utilitarian Monogram Surplus line with the Speedy 30, Keepall 50, Christopher East West backpack, Horizon 55 suitcase and Jet Lag bag. Olive cotton jacquard woven with hidden Monogram motifs, leather cargo pockets, belt-inspired fastenings and water-repellent finishes give the collection the appearance of vintage expedition gear developed inside a luxury luggage workshop.

Pharrell Williams’ countryside fantasy comes beautifully equipped for every eventuality – which, given it’s Britain, is probably just as well.

The Autumn capsule collection is expected to launch in September. Discover more here.

Adidas Originals has stopped pretending performance running shoes are just passing through our everyday wardrobes, unveiling the new Hyperboost Euphoria. The shoe takes the brand’s latest running innovation and gives it an entirely different purpose, making it a versatile piece adaptable to sports as much as daily life.

Fresh off the launch of the performance-focused Hyperboost Edge, the Three Stripes introduces a silhouette designed exclusively for lifestyle wear. While both models share the same futuristic design language, the Euphoria has been reworked for all-day comfort, offering a more stable ride with a gentler rocker profile that feels natural underfoot.

Already spotted away from the pitch on Anthony Edwards, Rayan Cherki, Tobjizzle and football stars Jude Bellingham, Lionel Messi and Pedri during the FIFA World Cup, the trainer arrives carrying plenty of sporting credibility despite never intending to step onto a starting line. “We had in mind those who embrace a sport-inspired lifestyle,” explains Ilka Liebmann, Vice President of Design Footwear at adidas Originals. “Live Hyper is the brand’s rallying cry for a new generation who prioritises spontaneity, comfort and energy.”

Underfoot sits adidas’ new Hyperboost cushioning system, housed inside a sculpted midsole carved away to reduce unnecessary weight. A broad platform and extended heel create a planted feel that prioritises stability throughout the day, maintaining the oversized proportions that have become synonymous with contemporary running footwear. Compared to the performance-oriented Edge, the Euphoria carries a little more substance, but that extra structure is exactly what makes it feel at home beyond the track.

Two versions launch from day one: the Hyperboost Ephr opts for a bold TPU cage wrapping almost the entire upper, giving the trainer a distinctly technical personality that feels equally suited to oversized tailoring or relaxed denim. Alongside it sits the Hyperboost Ephr Lt, whose semi-transparent mono-mesh upper exposes the shoe’s internal exoskeleton, offering a lighter interpretation of the same futuristic design.

The accompanying campaign follows two protagonists as unexpected encounters with footballer Rayan Cherki and Sidemen co-founder Tobjizzle send them on a series of spontaneous detours in the city.

The adidas Originals Hyperboost Ephr and Hyperboost Ephr Lt are available now online and at selected retailers worldwide. Find out more here.

One of the biggest misconceptions about summer jewellery is that it has to be understated, and Messika has never really subscribed to that idea. For the Parisian Maison, the season is an opportunity to embrace movement, light and diamonds that catch the sun from every angle, whether worn poolside, at golden hour or long after sunset.

Fronted by models Avishag Amir and Sydney Stabreit, the new Summer 2026 campaign unfolds against the sun-soaked architecture of Barcelona, exploring the way fine diamonds transform as the light shifts throughout the day. Similarly, the styling centres on two of the house’s most recognisable collections, each reflecting a different moment of the summer.

For daytime, Messika turns to its iconic Move line, the design that has defined the Maison since Valérie Messika introduced it in 2007. Inspired by childhood memories of watching loose diamonds move across her father André Messika’s desk, the collection is built around fluid gold frames that cradle freely moving brilliant-cut diamonds. Every movement catches the light differently, giving the pieces a sense of effortless fluidity. This season, Messika embraces layering, encouraging stacks of Move Uno rings, delicate hand jewels and slim gold bangles worn together to create an individual, light-filled composition.

As the sun begins to set, attention shifts towards the sculptural lines of Fiery. Designed to celebrate bold, passionate personalities, the collection reimagines the classic pear-cut diamond through elongated, flame-like silhouettes that amplify its brilliance. Pavé-set diamonds, graphic gold settings and architectural proportions lend each piece a stronger presence, balancing the softness of the central stone with a more contemporary edge. Whether worn as rings, earrings or necklaces, Fiery brings a sense of confidence that naturally belongs to summer evenings.

Different moods, perhaps, but both collections share the philosophy that has shaped Messika for almost 20 years: diamonds are made to move with the person wearing them, not wait inside a jewellery box.
