More and more luxury brands are tapping into the athleisure and streetwear markets, and fashion mainstay Givenchy is no exception. Capitalizing on the success of the brand’s Bow backpack, which first appeared during the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2019 show, artistic director Clare Waight Keller is launching Givenchy Downtown, a new five-piece bag collection inspired by the well-received original accessory. The pieces will have a slightly more masculine slant to their designs, featuring fabrications that consist primarily of black and white nylon with contrasting leather detailing, and come in a variety of styles: a backpack, a duffel, a belt bag, and two crossbody bags in different shapes. Each piece will also bear the Givenchy Heritage label underlined with a sweeping red pencil stroke, which was a favorite signature of the brand’s founder, Hubert de Givenchy. –JESSIE A JLUNI

A brand known for its embodiment of rock star fashion, John Varvatos has always been able to take inspiration from the world’s greatest rock and roll legends, giving their natural style an elevated twist for the modern man. The latest group to get the sartorial Varvatos treatment is none other than the iconic band Led Zeppelin. To celebrate the group’s 50 years of impacting music culture, the line is a mix of ultracool suiting, band tees, and more—including one particularly covetable leather cognac-hued coat. Launching in late fall, the collection is a perfect mix of grunge and glamour that speaks to both the music enthusiast as well as the fashion devotee. –JA
Louis Vuitton has launched their new high jewelry collection and we are all over it. Amber and blue stones adorn feather-like silhouettes with pearl and gold accents. The focal point of this collection is the delicate ombre effect used with each stone to create definition within the pieces. –AP
