Following up on its spring-ready Alma bags, Louis Vuitton has now launched its 2021 Summer womenswear capsule designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. The lineup features fun ready-to-wear garments, as well as dreamy leather goods and accessories.

A gradient theme is spotted throughout the handbag collection on oversized monogram patterns. Summery hues such as coral orange, sky blue and pastel pink are splashed onto the fashion house’s key silhouettes ranging from the Papillon BB and NéoNoé, to the Onthego and Marshmallow. The purses are accessorized with tropical leather charms in the shape of flowers and leaves.

As for garments, a loose-fitted jumpsuit dons a similar theme, while monogram prints and bold stripes take over a series of shirts, shorts and more. The Damier check is splashed onto a dress, jacket, swimwear and bodysuit.

The best new menswear to buy now: relaxed workwear, sportswear and floral shirts

Overhauling your wardrobe every season now seems excessive, particularly when many lockdown purchases never got the airtime they deserved and some are still fully tagged. The key to a fresh wardrobe? Pieces that spark joy. Consider colour — something bright and bold is more than welcome after 12 months of slouching. Grown too attached to your trackie bottoms? Fear not, elasticated waistbands are everywhere, even on office-friendly pieces.

Travis Scott Is Taking a Break From the Dunk Hype

]

Who: Travis Scott

Where: Nobu, Malibu

Why it works: With Dunk-hype at an all-time high, Scott’s diversion to a pair of dark brown Lanvin Skate Leather Curb Sneakers is a welcome breath of fresh air. The elaborately constructed shoe has an ultra-comfy look thanks to its rounded shape. The oversized, black and white zigzag chevron laces elevate the retro silhouette, and pair well with his woven belt.

Editor’s notes: A self-proclaimed long-time fan of the Nike Dunk, Travis has put his spin on the shoe a few times — like last year’s Paisley SB Dunk, for example, and his collab with PlayStation (which we didn’t really like, but whatever.) This weekend, however, he gave the silhouette a break and stepped out in a pair of ’00s-inspired skate shoes — specifically, Lanvin’s high-end reinterpretation of the Osiris D3. The Osiris D3 was the source of inspiration for A$AP Rocky’s first collaboration with Under Armour, as well as one of Virgil Abloh’s previous Louis Vuitton designs.

Whent the Curbs dropped last year, Lanvin tapped both Evan Mock and photographer RAYSCORRUPTEDMIND to create a special video editorial. At the time, Mock told Highsnobiety, “I think history repeats itself and people are going to have different takes on what they think is cool. When I saw this shoe I immediately thought of the Osiris shoes I loved from 2000. I’m not surprised people are inspired by skate culture as that is what has inspired me my whole life.” (You can read the rest of our interview here.)

Scott kept the palette earthy, teaming the chunky, dark brown sneakers with an olive green Cactus Jack utility vest, Brown Cacti Selzer hat, slouchy, faded jeans, and a dark green tee, finished off with a brown Cactus Jack non-surgical facemask. He also layered over an Elliot Eliantte chain, because of course.
