Montblanc Pop-up-Store at Alsterhaus
Turns out, 100 years of leather goods calls for more than a birthday cake. Montblanc is marking the anniversary with a 176-square-metre pop-up at Hamburg’s Alsterhaus, bringing together the Maison’s worlds of writing, travel and craftsmanship. Alongside leather goods, watches and writing instruments, visitors can personalise selected pieces, try their hand at lettering or simply sit down and write a postcard. Inspired by the golden age of train travel, the space is open until 31 January 2027. Not a bad excuse to put pen to paper again.
ic! berlin x Audi Revolut F1®
From 0.5 mm to 300 km/h: ic! berlin is taking its eyewear to the racetrack. For its first campaign with the Audi Revolut F1 Team, the Berlin brand puts drivers Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto in custom frames, photographed by Rupert Tapper with plenty of motion blur to match. Alongside it comes the Racing Edition, reworking two existing styles with red details and track-inspired packaging referencing Monza, Austin, Singapore and Las Vegas. Turns out, glasses and Formula 1 have more in common than you’d think.
UGG Born to Feel
UGG brings together PinkPantheress, Rowan Blanchard, Emily Ratajkowski, Adwoa Aboah, Tyson Beckford and Julez Smith for its new Fall 2026 campaign, Born to Feel. Centred around comfort, confidence and self-expression, the campaign moves from empty school corridors to city streets, with the cast wearing new and reworked silhouettes including ballet flats, clogs and the returning archival Birch Boot. UGG season might be starting earlier than expected.
& Other Stories
Autumn dressing gets a little more instinctive at & Other Stories this season. For Fall 2026, sharp tailoring meets lace, heritage tweeds are paired with softer layers, and brushed cashmere sits alongside high-shine leather. Neutrals run through the collection, with flashes of red, lilac, violet and tartan breaking things up. Add long leather gloves, pointed boots and a pillbox hat, and autumn suddenly looks a lot more interesting.
Vivobarefoot’s New Fashion
Barefoot is having a bit of a moment. From barely-there shoes on red carpets to celebrities embracing life without shoes altogether, getting closer to the ground suddenly feels less hippie, more zeitgeist. Vivobarefoot has been on that wavelength for over two decades, designing shoes that give your feet more space to move naturally. And if you want to take the whole grounding thing literally, there’s even the Sensus II Grounding, designed with a conductive sole to maintain that connection to natural surfaces without actually going barefoot. Maybe touching grass really was the answer all along.
