You’re not the only one who thinks fashion news moves at a rapid pace. Even as full-time journalists, it’s hard to keep up to date with industry news. That’s why we are trying something new by boiling it down to the basics. Here are seven things that fashionistas are talking about at the moment.
Viral campaign
The French fashion brand Mirae flew to Rio de Janeiro for the shoot of its new stunning summer 2024 campaign, Marimbondo. In a press release, founder Camille Jarmon stated that they wanted to take their customers to an exciting and joyful place where each garment told a story about sun-soaked days and vibrant evenings. I would say that she has succeeded in doing so.

Limited Edition Launch
Longines, a Swiss watchmaker, has been involved in equestrian sport since 1869. It’s therefore no surprise that the brand created something special to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks horse racing races. Longines launched a special edition of its Mini DolceVita to mark the 150th anniversary. The striking watch, which comes with a double pink leather strap, will be limited only to 150 pieces.

Camila’s New Campaign
Calvin Klein has chosen Daisy Jones & the Six actress Camila Morrone to be the face of its spring 2024 campaign for eyewear. Morrone stated in a release that she has always admired Calvin Klein for its contemporary elegance. “This is why I am excited to be part of the eyewear campaign,” Morrone added. The image above shows her wearing the Butterfly Frame Glasses, so I’m going to need a pair of those ASAP. It won’t make me look like Morrone exactly, but I’ll get close.
