An iconic wishlist
There’s a reason why iconic fashion houses remain well, iconic, to this day. They know how to honor the past while envisioning what’s next. They understand that iconic silhouettes, symbols, and stories don’t just define a core identity—it’s what keeps the name alive, what maintains its legacy, and what allows a brand to resonate across different generations.
These noteworthy releases showcase how heritage takes on a fresh, creative form.
Fendi x Stray Kids’ Bang Chan celebrate the launch of “Roman Empire”
Fendi celebrated the release of “Roman Empire,” the new single by brand ambassador Bang Chan, leader of global K-pop group Stray Kids, with an exclusive showcase held recently at Palazzo Fendi Seoul in Cheongdam.
The exclusive event was a multi-dimensional celebration of Bang Chan’s “Roman Empire.” Embodying the shared creative spirit of excellence between Fendi and Bang Chan, “Roman Empire” is a special music project that redefines craftsmanship and modern expression through a new lens. Written, composed, and produced by Bang Chan, the track pays tribute to Fendi’s timeless icons—the Peekaboo bag and the letter “F”— reimagined through the language of music.
Iconic Chloé Paddington bag makes a comeback
First launched in 2005, the iconic Paddington bag marked its return on the Chloé Winter 2025 runway. A defining piece in the maison’s leather goods heritage, the beloved bag’s design embodies effortless luxury with its soft, slouchy silhouette and equestrian-inspired details. The signature leather-wrapped padlock, an instantly recognizable code, adds a deeply personal touch.
For Winter 2025, the Paddington has subtly evolved while staying true to its essence. The emblematic padlock remains functional, the hardware is lighter, and the overall construction has been refined—crafted from supple, washed leather for a lived-with, vintage-inspired feel. A new single-zip opening and an adjusted shoulder drop enhance ease and comfort, making it even more seamless to carry.
Loewe collaborates with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation for its Fall/Winter 2025 collection
The Loewe Fall Winter 2025 collection is conceived as a scrapbook of ideas. An ongoing exploration of artisanal craft and art continues with a collaboration with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, which sees clothing and accessories characterized by tactile surface treatments inspired by Josef Albers’ “Homage to the Square” paintings and Anni Albers’ pictorial weavings, which celebrated thread as a vehicle for artistic exploration.
In a gesture that brings the creative journey full circle, Loewe will support Les Foyers de Tambacounda—a women’s community center in Senegal established by the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation in close partnership with the nonprofit, Le Korsa. The donation will fund three key initiatives: the growth of Sutura, a local sewing collective; an art program at the Foyer led by a professor from L’École des Beaux-Arts de Dakar; and The Tire Recycling Project.
