2. Lady Gaga x Dom Pérignon limited edition champagne
Gaga has also collaborated with designer Nicola Formichetti on a sculpture that acts as a veil, hiding three litres of Dom Pérignon’s 2005 pink champagne behind it. Only 110 of these limited edition sculptures will go on sale privately, and for diehard fans who want to catch a glimpse, a few will be on display in the brand’s major flagship stores.
In addition, Dom Pérignon launched a charity raffle for one of the exclusive sculptures, with proceeds going to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. Classy, delicious and generous – just like the lady herself.

3. Canada Goose launches its first footwear collection
For those lucky enough to be able to travel somewhere genuinely cold, luxury outdoor clothing brand Canada Goose has unveiled its first footwear collection. The boots, for men and women, come in two styles – Snow Mantra and Journey. With a design inspired by the brand’s own Snow Mantra Parka, the former are designed for use in extreme environments, while the latter are performance luxury hiking boots.
The brand takes the business of testing its gear terribly seriously, and this time it gave the boots to a collection of outdoorsy types, including adventurers, athletes and researchers, to try them out for six months. Both styles come with a waterproof membrane that helps them provide protection down to some seriously chilly temperatures: -30 degrees Celsius for the Snow Mantra and -15 degrees for the Journey, while the leather used, known as TerraCare, is responsibly sourced and tanned using methods that result in lower water and chemical use.
4. Arty iterations of Lady Dior handbags
The Lady Dior has become legendary in the world of fashion, ever since its first expression in 1995, inspired by no less than Britain’s Princess Diana. Reinvented season-after-season, the bag’s legacy lives on. Now, in the sixth edition of the Dior Lady Art Project, 12 artists from around the world have been chosen to impart a fresh spin to the iconic bag.

Instilling their own skills, techniques and craftsmanship, this display showcases the personalities of the artists, showing what each has to offer to the fashion world. Despite the variations in style, all 12 pieces are adorned with reworked Dior charms reminiscent of those that Monsieur Dior always carried with him.
Through its numerous interpretations, the Lady Dior has remained a style for the moment, while keeping that signature silhouette that makes it a cult favourite.
