Welcome back to FIB’s weekly drop list. Here are our favourite new releases for the first week of November!
This week’s highlights includes Savage x Fenty holiday intimates, Harry Potter x Le Creuset kitchen goods, Palace x vans & more!
Viktor & Rolf x Melissa
The new “BLOSSOM” collection features 3d flowers. Melissa and Viktor & Rolf are impressing us once again with a brand new shoe and bag collection. The “Blossom” collection features 3d printed flowers and brand new styles in a variety of colourways, inspired by an international lifestyle.
The Melissa Blossom Bag, which is covered with 3D floral accents, is at the top of the line. The clutch-style purse has short and long removable straps, allowing for use in three different ways. The Melissa Blossom has a large platform heel with flowery designs on the upper. The Melissa Lady Emme Blossom has a smaller heel with straps.
An Instagram post from Melissa states that,
“The second drop from the #MelissaViktorAndRolf collab is here! There are new timeless colours for you to experiment and play with.”
Viktor & Rolf x Melissa’s “Blossom” collection is now available online and at Melissa’s stores in New York and Spain.
Timberland x Hurr
Timberland has introduced its first-ever rental collection in collaboration with UK-based platform HURR, as the fashion industry strives to promote more conscientious purchasing.
HURR is a clothes rental platform that was founded in 2017. It has the goal of disrupting fast-fashion industry norms and promoting a new, more sustainable way of life. The website not only collaborates with brands and shops to share their products, but it also allows those who own luxury items to monetise them and renters to wear them for a fraction of the retail price.
In collaboration with Timberland, the two brands have released the latter’s Fall/Winter 2021 collection as their latest rental product, marking the brand’s first step into the ever-growing sector.
The line includes outerwear in red, grey, black, and khaki, with four-day rentals on the HURR website from November 3.
Palace x Vans
Palace collaborates with Vans on a collection of Sk8-Hi sneakers, drawing inspiration from mushrooms for this latest release. The OG silhouette receives a fungi-themed update for the duo’s second collaboration.
The kicks come in three colourways: “Black/Blue,” “Marshmallow,” and “Yellow”. They have mushroom designs covering the upper.
The shoes feature Vans’ famous Sidestripe in white, as well as solid black and white panels on the heel, toe box, and lacing system, to contrast the eye-catching design. Co-branding on the tongue and embroidered shroom designs on the back complete the look.
The “Shroom” Sk8-Hi collection launches online and in-store on November 5. Japan and China receive a later release date of November 6 at 11 a.m. local time.
Chanel Beauty: NO.5 Holiday Collection
Chanel Beauty releases a limited-edition fragrance and makeup collection, just in time for the festive season. The collection pays homage to the renowned N°5, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year.
Chanel spent 2021 commemorating the 100th anniversary of Chanel No. 5, its signature fragrance. From video projects to a limited-edition collection and even an interactive pop-up shop at Selfridges, there’s been something for everyone.
It’s only fitting that the brand celebrates the end of the year with a No.5-themed advent calendar (dubbed No.5 The Calendar) packed with some of the brand’s most coveted items.
The collection includes 27 mini boxes, numbered 5 to 31, including some of Chanel’s most popular beauty products, such as lipsticks and nail lacquers. For the first time, the N°5 comes in a recyclable glass bottle, together with a redesigned box made from sustainable paper pulp. Golden tones are used in eyeshadow colours, which compliment the bright red lip and nail shades.
The advent calendar is available from November 1.
Savage X Fenty, Xmas Collection
’Tis the season to be savage. The lingerie business founded by Rihanna has just dropped its latest Christmas collection, including a collaboration with multi-media artist Manuela Soto Sosa.
The “Tagged By Savage” collection contains brand new colours and prints for the brand’s iconic pieces. These include Cotton Essentials Bralettes and Bikinis, Forever Savage High Leg Bikinis and more.
The Xtra VIP Box includes a High Neck Bralette, High Leg Bikini, and Garter Belt now appear in “Late Night Purple”.
The “Tattooed Tricot” collection celebrates the art medium of tattoo. The nude mesh High Neck Bra, Thong Teddy, High Leg Bikini, Thigh High Stockings, Pantyhose, and Crotchless Catsuit are all dedicated to Sosa’s unique “Soto Girl” tattoo patterns.
