Fashion People Are Talking About These 5 New Things

If it seems like fashion news is moving at a mile a minute, well, you're not alone. Despite our numerous social media feeds and perpetual press releases, it can be hard to keep up with the latest industry news, even as full-time editors, which is why we're boiling it down to just the basics. Here are the four new things fashion people are talking about right now…

Modern Menswear

Louis Vuitton's runway shows always have impressive set designs, but only those lucky enough to score a seat get to experience them IRL. Until now, that is. The house has just opened a dedicated pop-in space within its Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive Men's store, where customers can browse new pieces while immersed in the set design from the fall 2026 men's show held in Paris in January. In the store, you'll find furniture inspired by Men's Creative Director Pharrell Williams's collaboration with the architectural firm Not a Hotel, in addition to a two-story circular bookcase with a hidden photo booth.

To Infinity

The 1969 moon landing was one small step for man and one giant leap for Omega. The brand's Speedmaster Professional watches were worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts on that historic mission, which celebrated its 57th anniversary on July 20. To mark the occasion, Omega hosted an event at its SoHo boutique with astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. "The Apollo 11 landing is the defining example of the Speedmaster’s pioneering spirit, reliability, and robust design," Omega President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann said in a statement. "It was such a significant moment for humanity, but also for Omega, and it’s amazing to think that our legacy in space continues to grow today, as the latest generation of astronauts take our timepieces on their missions."

L.A. Opening

Want to smell good this summer? Then you'll want to head to Silver Lake's chicest new boutique, Maison Louis Marie. The luxury maker of divinely scented candles, perfumes, lotions, and more just opened its largest location to date. Designed in collaboration with Via Clover, the boutique's stylish interior—complete with solid oak doors, custom travertine and steel furniture, and two-toned plastered arches—is a perfect match for the brand's fashionable fragrances. My favorite fun fact about Maison Louis Marie is that it's named after Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars, an 18th-century French botanist and naturalist "whose expeditions informed the modern study of plant life," the brand explains. The new boutique is located at 3920 Sunset Blvd. See you there!

Dynamic Duo

Nordstrom and Manolo Blahnik recently hosted a posh lunch at The Maybourne Beverly Hills to commemorate Nordstrom's 125th anniversary and the exclusive Manolo Blahnik capsule. Cohosted by Manolo Blahnik CEO Kristina Blahnik and Nordstrom Fashion Director Linda Cui Zhang, the event drew a well-heeled crowd (literally), including Chriselle Lim, Hillary Kerr, Courtney Trop, Meeka Hossain, and others.

Flagship Fashion

Calvin Klein has just opened a new flagship store in New York City. It's located in SoHo at 530 Broadway, and the boutique spans over 3000 square feet. With poured-concrete floors, exposed wood beams, and oversize columns, the design is meant to mimic NYC's classic loft apartments. In addition to a selection of men's and women's jeans, underwear, clothes, and accessories, the store will sell a limited-edition capsule collection featuring custom Calvin Klein SoHo branding.
