Jacquemus and Repetto collaborated on a timeless, androgynous Oxford. The best part about Oxfords is that they never go out of style. Choose between a square toe for a baroque feel, and a rounded iteration that gives ballet-teacher-who-takes-herself-very-seriously (in the best way – if you know, you know).

Ruby and Bjorn Qorn prove that two brilliant minds are better than one. The two brands teamed up for a limited launch of a very special, totally unique holiday popcorn. Not sweet, not peppermint, not pumpkin spice. Instead: tangy, salty, and bright pink, an alchemical combination of tart hibiscus and nutritional yeast.

Ganni joined forces with New Balance to launch a capsule of sneakers that draws on the allure of a Scandinavian street style classic: New Balances with a feminine dress, preferably midi or maxi. The capsule is impeccable, but the emphasis is on “capsule” – it didn't stay in stock for long.
