A luxury Mahjong table to a bag inspired by the French Riverea, this is the IT news in fashion

Fashion never stands still, and neither does the news cycle. This week, heritage houses revisited iconic signatures, designers joined forces for meaningful collaborations, and Wimbledon-inspired style returned just in time for tennis season. Whether it's a storied print celebrating a milestone anniversary or a new everyday bag destined for wish lists, these are the launches, collaborations, and collections worth knowing now.

Gucci celebrates 60 years of Flora on the Riviera

Gucci is bringing one of its most beloved house motifs to the Mediterranean this summer. Through October, the House has transformed La Rose des Vents Monte Carlo into an immersive Flora-inspired beach club, extending the iconic botanical print beyond the wardrobe and into the surrounding environment through vibrant colour, texture, and décor.

The activation also marks the 60th anniversary of Flora, originally created in 1966 by illustrator Vittorio Accornero at the request of Rodolfo Gucci as a silk scarf for Princess Grace of Monaco. Six decades later, the motif remains one of Gucci's defining visual signatures, with its return to Monaco serving as both a celebration of the House's history and a fresh expression of its enduring summer spirit.

Hermès reimagines an iconic house signature

 

Hermès is giving one of its most enduring design codes a fresh, feminine interpretation with the Clou de Forge bag. Drawing inspiration from the clou de forge, the horseshoe nail motif that has long appeared across the House's jewellery, footwear, and silk collections, the new design softens the emblem into an elegant clasp and refined adjustable buckle that gracefully follows the contours of the leather. Designed to move effortlessly from day to night, the bag features an adjustable shoulder strap with three different carrying options, combining timeless craftsmanship with unmatched versatility.

Bhavya Ramesh and NorBlack NorWhite unveil STARE

Jewellery designer Bhavya Ramesh and fashion label NorBlack NorWhite have come together for their first-ever collaboration, STARE—a collection that reimagines traditional symbols of protection as contemporary adornment.

Drawing inspiration from motifs deeply embedded in Indian culture, including lemons, chillies, snakes, fangs, the moon, eyes, and ghunghroos, the collection explores themes of femininity, vulnerability, rage, and transformation. The range includes 13 jewellery designs available in silver and gold, alongside a vegan leather bag and a pair of socks. Launched globally on June 17, the collection is available online through both brands, with select retail availability across Mumbai and Delhi.

Louis Vuitton turns game night into a luxury affair

Louis Vuitton is elevating a timeless pastime with its Vanity Mahjong set, transforming the classic game into a collectable design object. Handcrafted from Corian® and wood, the elegant trunk houses a complete mahjong set while doubling as a sophisticated décor piece. Designed to bring equal measures of strategy and style to the table, the Vanity Mahjong seamlessly blends the House's artisanal craftsmanship with playful luxury, making it as fitting for everyday play as it is for display.

Ralph Lauren serves timeless Wimbledon style

As the Official Outfitter of The Championships, Wimbledon, since 2006, Ralph Lauren continues to celebrate the tournament's rich sporting heritage through its latest collection inspired by the iconic event.

True to Wimbledon's refined aesthetic, the collection features classic cable-knit sweaters, crisp shirting, canvas tote bags, tortoiseshell sunglasses, and accessories in a palette of greens, whites, navy blues, and rich purples. Blending collegiate style with effortless sophistication, the pieces capture the timeless elegance that has long defined both Wimbledon and Ralph Lauren.

OTT by Tarun Tahiliani expands its Delhi footprint

OTT by Tarun Tahiliani has strengthened its presence in the capital with the opening of its second Delhi store at Khan Market, one of India's most coveted luxury retail destinations. The new exclusive brand outlet brings the label's signature India Modern aesthetic to life through a curated selection of women's ready-to-wear apparel and accessories, including kaftans, dresses, capes, gilets, and separates that marry contemporary silhouettes with traditional craftsmanship. The store also debuts OTT's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, where fluid silks, organzas, knits, and abstract florals come together in a refined palette that balances softness with structure. Marking another milestone in the brand's retail expansion, the new space reinforces Tarun Tahiliani's vision of creating elevated, everyday Indian fashion rooted in artisanal excellence.

Dior introduces the Promenade Shopper

Designed by Jonathan Anderson for Dior's Autumn/Winter 2026–2027 collection, the new Dior Promenade Shopper is poised to become the House's latest everyday essential.

Balancing structure with softness, the tote reinterprets Dior's heritage codes through a contemporary lens. A delicate bow—a signature detail inspired by Monsieur Dior—sits alongside the House's iconic Cannage motif, which fluidly follows the movement of the bag. Designed for versatility, the Promenade Shopper features a spacious interior and an adjustable shoulder strap for multiple ways of carrying it.

Available in topstitched leather, suede, and Dior Oblique jacquard canvas, the bag comes in both small and large sizes, with a palette spanning soft pastels to rich autumnal hues. It will arrive in Dior boutiques this July.

Tilfi bridges two centuries-old craft traditions with Vanam Leela

Tilfi's latest collection, Vanam Leela, brings together the intricate paper-cutting tradition of Sanjhi and the ethereal artistry of handwoven Banarasi Jamdani in a poetic celebration of Indian craftsmanship. Inspired by the sacred landscapes of Vrindavan, the collection shifts the focus away from grand depictions of divinity, instead finding beauty in the region's flowering trees, peacocks, butterflies, and verdant groves. Comprising four meticulously crafted sarees paired with complementary blouses, the collection explores the shared visual language of Sanjhi and Jamdani through symmetry, negative space, and intricate motif work. Launching on July 1, Vanam Leela is accompanied by a documentary chronicling the artisans and craftsmanship behind each weave, and is available online as well as at Tilfi's Mumbai and Varanasi stores.

From archival icons receiving fresh reinterpretations to collaborations that celebrate storytelling and craftsmanship, this week's fashion news reflects an industry that continues to balance heritage with innovation. Whether you're eyeing Dior's newest arm candy, Gucci's Riviera takeover, Ralph Lauren's Wimbledon-ready classics, or Bhavya Ramesh and NorBlack NorWhite's striking collaboration, these are the launches shaping the conversation right now.
