For this month’s news roundup, we bring you nostalgic comebacks, colourful designs and unexpected collaborations from across the fashion world.
Inspired by Flowers
Spring at Highgrove has made its way onto fabric in Burberry’s new capsule collection, created in collaboration with British artist Helen Bullock. Inspired by the Kitchen Garden at the private residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the pieces feature colourful illustrations of wildflowers, poppies and buzzing bees, all drawn from Helen’s time spent exploring the garden’s arbours and fountains. The 28-piece collection includes menswear, womenswear and accessories crafted using certified wool, organic cotton and silk. It supports The King’s Foundation (the charity founded by His Majesty), which preserves Highgrove Gardens and promotes traditional craft skills. The campaign stars actors Elizabeth McGovern, Laura Carmichael and ọpệ Dìrísù. The capsule is a reflection of Burberry’s ongoing celebration of British heritage and its connection to nature and the Royal Warrant. This also marks the brand’s fourth collaboration with Highgrove.
From Italy To Bahrain
Miu Miu has officially landed on the island with the opening of its first boutique at Marassi Galleria. At over 300sq/m, the space houses the brand’s complete range, from ready-towear and leather goods to footwear and accessories. The store is designed with a clean structure and soft textures. A light stone façade frames the entrance, with a clear view of the footwear display to invite shoppers inside. Wooden furnishings and textured blue fabrics define the initial sections, giving way to more fluid shapes as you enter the clothing area, where curved blue walls and coordinated seating create a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. A dedicated VIP lounge adds a layer of exclusivity for a more private and personalised shopping experience.
Beyond Time
Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre has opened its first boutique in Bahrain at Marassi Galleria. Designed to mimic the peaceful spirit of Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux (the maison’s place of origin), the space combines organic textures and soft, earthy tones for a serene, inviting feel. The boutique houses collections such as the Reverso, Polaris and RendezVous, along with high complications like the Duometre and the Atmos clock, a clock that is powered by air. Inside, the Calibre Wall is an interactive space to explore the inner workings of some of the maison’s most renowned movements. There’s also a personalisation corner to mix and match straps or get your Reverso engraved with something meaningful. Tucked at the back is a VIP room for those after a more private experience.
The Cherry on Top
Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami are back for one last time, marking 20 years since their first collaboration. Chapter Three of their re-edition collection arrives just in time for summer, bringing with it the return of Murakami’s much-loved smiling cherry motif, the cheeky, candy-coloured character with a green stalk that played a big part in early 2000s fashion. This final drop, tied to Louis Vuitton’s 2025 Resort collection, includes over 70 pieces like bags, shoes, charms, scarves and even a cherry-adorned bicycle. Ranging from cherry-shaped heels on raffia mules to new Monogram pieces in a crisp white, showing off the cherries in glossy, 3D-printed glory. Embroidered denim, hand fans, deck chairs and several fun items complete the collection. Zendaya fronts the campaign once again, this time set against a backdrop of giant cherries on the Mediterranean coast, a fitting send-off for an iconic partnership.
Sunsets and Silhouettes
& Other Stories has announced an exciting collaboration with celebrated Londonbased designer Roksanda Ilinčić, who is known for her choice of bright colour palettes, sculptural designs and focus on feminine strength. Roksanda brings her signature style to a summery collection of clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty. Taking inspiration from the stunning shades of summer sunsets, the ensemble features flowy yet structured silhouettes, architectural lines and expressive colour blocking. It includes a red ruffled dress, an abstract brushstroke mulberry silk dress and a striking white suiting set. Her personal touches continue in accessories, such as oversized sun hats, pearl-accented jewellery, as well as lipstick and nail polish, which are curated to pair well with the garments. Footwear comes in two options: detailed and sculptured burgundy mules and high but pointy boots with angled heels in lilac or bronze patent leather.
