LOUIS VUITTON CELEBRATES 130 YEARS OF THE MONOGRAM

Louis Vuitton is kicking off 2026 with a year-long celebration of its iconic Monogram, revisiting heritage bags like the Speedy, Keepall and Noé through a distinctly collector-led lens. Special labels, archival references and a soft, pastel-tinted reworking of the original 1896 canvas make this less about nostalgia and more about evolution—proof that the Monogram still knows how to feel relevant.

BURBERRY BEAUTY INTRODUCES HER PARFUM WITH OLIVIA DEAN

Burberry Beauty taps British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean to front its most intense Her fragrance yet—and the result feels refreshingly authentic. Shot across London's streets and skies, the campaign channels freedom, movement and modern femininity, with Dean's own music underscoring the mood. Think confident, grounded, and quietly powerful—very much a scent for the woman who knows exactly who she is.

VILLA SAN MICHELE RETURNS TO FLORENCE

Florence's most cinematic hotel is back. Villa San Michele, Belmond's storied hillside retreat, has emerged from an 18-month renovation with reimagined suites, cascading gardens and—finally—its first-ever spa by Guerlain. The timing couldn't be better: winter in Florence, major exhibitions in town, and a hotel that feels deeply rooted in Renaissance romance while quietly embracing modern slow luxury. This is the kind of reopening that instantly earns a spot on every culture lover's travel wish list.

CLARIDGE'S IS OPENING A BAKERY—AND IT’S EVERYTHING YOU WANT IT TO BE

Claridge's is bringing the art of British baking to Brook's Mews with the opening of Claridge's Bakery this January, led by cult baker Richard Hart. Expect nostalgia done properly: iced fingers, custard tarts, sausage rolls and exceptional sourdough, all baked fresh daily. It's less hotel add-on, more neighbourhood institution in the making—and exactly the kind of opening London food lovers get excited about.

BRUNELLO CUCINELLI PREMIERES "BRUNELLO, A GRACIOUS VISIONARY"

Brunello Cucinelli marked a major cultural moment with the world premiere of Brunello, A Gracious Visionary at Rome's Cinecittà studios. Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, the documentary explores the philosophy behind one of Italy's most quietly influential fashion figures. With a guest list that read like a who's who of modern elegance, the evening felt less like a film premiere and more like a celebration of humanistic luxury.
