Givenchy gives back to the Disney adults, while Per Götesson slashes everything
“She’s curious, enthusiastic, creative,” Furla says of this season’s muse. But she’s also a sporty tote, a jewel-toned chain bag, and a metallic mini. For its Cruise collection, the Italian heritage label is taking a respite from the polluted metropolis and heading a “carefree vacation” in the snow-peaked Dolomites. The collection is divided between three hero products: the Furla 1927, which reiterates the brand’s bow-clasped signature; the Furla Opportunity, a maxi-check wool bag with a soft, rug-stitch logo; and the Furla Gilda, a side-zipped shopper with lyn--print pony hide inserts. A melange of 90s references and architectural accents, the collection is made for “a woman who is not afraid to experiment”. See more of that here.

PER GÖTESSON SLASHES EVERYTHING
Per Götteson’s latest capsule collection repurposes vintage t-shirts with body-baring, spliced-and-diced cuts. With big slashes ribboning their way through logos and slogans, the designer says the offering subverts “the consumerism and hypermasculinity within society.” The lookbook is fronted by Göteson’s friends: Loshh, a multi-genre musician, and Luca, a designer at CSM.
