Barbour and Crocs are breaking boundaries: their first-ever collaboration proves that function and fun can go hand in hand. Launching today, the limited-edition collection blends Barbour’s heritage with Crocs’ playful spirit, featuring an oversized wax jacket, two footwear styles, and a set of customisable Jibbitz charms.

The Barbour x Crocs OS Bedale Wax Jacket takes Barbour’s classic Bedale — first designed by Dame Margaret Barbour in 1980 — and reworks it with a boxier fit, brushed silver hardware, and tartan-accented pockets. A nod to Crocs’ signature style comes in the form of Jibbitz-friendly chest pockets, making this the first wax jacket that can be accessorised with charms. A packable waterproof hood rounds off the design, keeping practicality at the forefront.

For footwear, the collection introduces the Barbour x Crocs Classic Clog and the Barbour x Crocs Wellington Boot. The clog gets a waxed cotton trim, belt detailing inspired by Barbour’s outerwear, and a tartan print lining. Meanwhile, the Wellington boot keeps things practical for rainy days, featuring the same house tartan, a PVC logo patch, and space for Jibbitz charms.

Ian Bergin, Director of Barbour Menswear, describes the collaboration as a natural fit: “By reimagining the timeless classics both brands are known for, we’ve created something entirely new that can be fully personalised.”

Crocs’ Vice President of Global Marketing, Matias Infante, adds, “This collaboration brings together two icons, blending Barbour’s rich heritage with Crocs’ spirit of self-expression. By reimagining classic designs from both brands, we’ve created something fresh and fully customisable.”

Completing the lineup is a set of nine Jibbitz charms, inspired by vintage Barbour patches and dual-branded logos. A mix of metal and PVC, they add a touch of nostalgia while giving wearers the freedom to make their footwear their own.

The Barbour x Crocs collection is now available via the Crocs app, in-store, and online.

Fresh off their collaboration on Handlebars, Jennie is the latest star to front the Chanel 25 handbag campaign, joining Dua Lipa, who was announced as the face of the collection earlier this year. A longtime Chanel ambassador since 2017, the BLACKPINK singer brings her signature style and energy to the French house’s latest creation.  

For Jennie, the Chanel 25 is the perfect companion to her fast-paced life. “The Chanel 25 handbag symbolises freedom of movement,” she shares. “It adapts to my various situations and lifestyles, offering flexibility and comfort while allowing me to express my unique style in a different way.” Whether travelling abroad or heading to work, she describes it as a practical yet essential piece.  

Captured through the lens of New York-based filmmaker Gordon von Steiner, the campaign film follows Jennie as she moves through the electric streets of Manhattan and a photo studio, set to the unmistakable beat of Fine Young Cannibals’ She Drives Me Crazy. “With this iconic ’90s pop song, it feels like a short music video capturing the streets of New York. I hope everyone who sees the campaign feels a sense of freedom and positive energy,” she says.

Accompanying the film, David Sims’ minimalist photographs highlight the handbag’s effortless versatility. Quilted leather, chain detailing and multiple pockets nod to Chanel’s timeless codes, while its relaxed attitude makes it a modern staple. Designed to be worn over the shoulder or carried by hand, it comes in classic black, denim, and bold colourways, proving its adaptability for every occasion.  

Dua Lipa, who describes herself as “obsessed” with the bag, praises its functionality: “It’s the perfect kind of bag for me as someone who’s always on the move and likes to carry around everything, especially because it’s got these great pockets for all my favourite things. There’s a place for my books, a place for my sunglasses, maybe a notebook or two, and even a place for my crystals.”

With Jennie and Dua Lipa leading the way, the Chanel 25 campaign captures the spirit of movement, spontaneity, and self-expression — qualities both artists exude naturally.

Pucci’s Spring-Summer 2025 campaign, Marmo: A Timeless Convergence, takes the house’s signature swirls and filters them through the lens of Hollywood’s ultimate muse: Marilyn Monroe. Shot by Parisian photographer Drew Vickers and starring Bibi Breslin, the campaign captures Monroe’s magnetic charm and replicates it for the modern era. Under Camille Miceli’s creative direction — who has been reshaping Pucci’s free-spirited aesthetic since 2021 — the collection bridges past and present, balancing nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.  

Monroe’s connection to Pucci has become historical. By the 1960s, she had become a devoted fan, drawn to the house’s silk jerseys and vibrant patterns that complemented her natural glamour — notably a lime green silk jersey blouse during rehearsals for her famous “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” performance in 1962. The campaign nods to this history without veering into costume; Breslin embodies a Marilyn-inspired muse, capturing the essence of Pucci’s mid-century heyday while keeping it fresh.  

The collection itself plays with movement and contrast. The Marmo print — originally inspired by the shimmering waters of Capri — appears in macro versions and unexpected palettes across draped dresses, sharp tailoring, and breezy resort-wear. Roman influences come through in the asymmetrical cuts and sculptural draping, evoking classical statues in motion. There’s also a whisper of 1920s glamour in the details: jewel-like buttons, marine-inspired embroidery, and fabrics that skim the body like a second skin.  

Accessories round out the story with playful precision. Quilted nylon bags reinterpret Pucci’s signature motifs in tactile new ways, while oversized sunglasses and silk foulards heighten the air of mystery. A sportier edge emerges through a capsule of Marmo-printed activewear, proving Pucci’s signature aesthetic is as adaptable as it is distinctive.

With Marmo: A Timeless Convergence, Pucci taps into its cinematic past while rewriting its future. Breslin’s modern take on Monroe-esque glamour proves that the house’s legacy isn’t about nostalgia alone; it’s about evolution. Bold, joyful, and endlessly relevant, Pucci remains as fascinating now as it was in Marilyn’s day.
