#legend is #obsessed with the latest from Louis Vuitton, Clot, Sheer, Berluti, COS, and Belmond
Good sports
The Louis Vuitton Monogram Sport collection puts athletics and leisure motifs – think a cerulean swimming pool, a clay tennis court, a golfing green, and pine-dotted snowy ski slopes – in the palm of your hand. The collection of wallets, passport covers, pocket organisers and card holders, first introduced in tandem with the summer holidays, has been relaunched with new and exclusive designs, including a deep blue outdoor basketball court and a pink sunset-lit skate park. The bird’s-eye-view illustrations, with athletes in miniature, create tiny worlds with near-endless possibilities. Look out for more designs as the collection expands.
On pointe
Inaugural BOF China prize winner Caroline Hú is the latest creative talent to join forces with Adidas Originals and Clot The visionary designer, who created the impressive showpieces for Clot’s first-ever fashion show in Shanghai, has reimagined the German sporting-goods brand’s iconic Taekwondo silhouette through the lens of martial arts and ballet grace to create the Clot Taekwondo by Caroline Hú. “This collaboration embodies our core philosophy of East meets West in the most beautiful way,” Clot founder Edison Chen says of the collection, which includes three colourways: triple black, soft pink, and off white.
Sheer delight
With a bold yet graceful redefinition of sensuality, Sheer’s autumn/winter 2025 collection invites modern women to embrace elegance and empowerment through intimate apparel that embodies sculptural beauty, refined craftsmanship and contemporary romanticism. In addition to a palette of rich, understated tones – burgundy, deep purple, and forest green – the curated selection from world-renowned brands features geometric lines, sheer accents and innovative tailoring that come together to honour the feminine form with strength, dignity and allure. Highlighted brands include Agent Provocateur, Coco de Mer and Fleur du Mal (pictured).
In the bag
With a name that translates to “long, adventurous journey”, Berluti’s new line of bags is designed for travelling around the city – especially by bike. Périple, which showcases the same fine craftsmanship and meticulous precision that defines the Berluti brand, is made with supple, full-grain Venezia Softy leather. The inaugural piece, the Barrel bag, is imbued with the brand’s signatures, from the leaf-shaped chapes and edge binding to a zipped side pocket in the “1 Jour” style and the big U-shaped main zip opening. It comes in several variants: the Hobo and Sling for everyday city use and the bigger “landscape” format, the Weekender.
Soft touch
Just in time for the autumn/winter fashion season, COS is revisiting cashmere with a collection that explores the fibre across a spectrum of gauges and styles. Each yarn is hand- selected and meticulously spun, retaining its soft texture and reflecting COS’s dedication to quality. The colour palette, meanwhile, balances inky darks and soft neutrals, enriched with espresso brown, deep aubergine and dark navy. With signature essentials such as cardigans, crewnecks, high necks and waistcoats, each piece is designed to move with ease and adapt across the season. Featherlight triangle scarves also offer customisable layers of warmth.
Just the ticket
Continuing its tradition of connecting Europe’s most romantic cities with Belmond’s iconic hotels, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express introduces its first-ever journey from Paris to the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast, with a stop in the ancient city of Pompeii. The legendary midnight blue carriages will travel south from Paris towards Pompeii and onwards to the clifftop sanctuary of Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast. Complementing this historic debut are new, curated Italian itineraries culminating in Venice and Florence, each offering a three-night journey that celebrates the romance of Paris and the heritage of Belmond’s hotels.
