SPARKLY TOUCH

The perfect jewellery to pair with your wedding gown is the style that reflects you. If you like chunky items, go for it, but opt for delicate details if you don’t. For a harmonious look, find bridal jewellery that complements the shade of your wedding dress. White gold or platinum jewellery looks best with more ‘true white’ dresses, while yellow gold or rose gold works well with warmer white gowns.

New, exciting, and exclusive collections are the highlights of this month. With a reminder that the year is approaching its end – the festive season is on its way!

Stella McCartney presents Stella Shared 3, a capsule collection of conscious unisex staples exploring shared values and aesthetics. The British fashion house offered its platform to three creative forces: Ed Curtis in London, Maisie Broome (Myfawnwy) in New York City and Tom Tosseyn in Antwerp, forming a collective and a collection. With a clubkid perspective blending fantasy and reality, their prints are featured on iconic Stella archetypes. The palette pairs neutrals with youthful bursts of colour, including patterned eccentrically clashing classics with contemporary fantasies. "For my McCartney A to Z Manifesto, I shared my platform with next-gen artists who interpreted our values through their visions. Stella Shared 3 continues this spirit of collaboration today, remixing Stella pieces with prints by incredible talents of tomorrow – collectively advancing by sharing our skills, resources and communities," says Stella McCartney.

The luxury fashion house Valentino is exploring new grounds with its Valentino Beauty enterprise. The make-up line was officially launched at the brand's Rendez-Vous Fashion Show in Paris in October. Pierpaolo Piccioli, Valentino's Creative Director, is behind the new beauty concept, and he believes that beauty is permeated by harmonised imperfection and liveliness, not static or controlled. The line is robust, offering several different finishes, shades, and versions of many products in the collection. Along with standards like foundation and lipstick, it offers eyeshadow palettes, liners in bright hues, pigments and even two different types of glitter.

Inspired by Karl Lagerfeld's signature looks, the Karl by Karl capsule is an exclusive, gender-neutral collection that pays homage to the designer's unmistakable silhouette. The selection is a tribute to this fashion legend, ranging from tailored pieces, sophisticated outerwear and key accessories like fingerless gloves, bags and fans, to crisp white shirts and a tunic made in sustainably sourced organic cotton. The capsule has been curated by Carine Roitfeld, Style Advisor of the Maison Karl Lagerfeld, and designed by Hun Kim, the brand's design director. The collection is available to shop at select Karl Lagerfeld stores and online at www.karl-me.com
