The Week in Fashion: Zoë Kravitz and Jeremy Allen White Lead Saucy Saint Laurent Campaign

The luxury knitwear brand extreme cashmere is known for their finely-crafted sweaters, cardigans, trousers—but also for their unusual fashion cycle, which lives outside of the industry’s traditional patterns and responds instead to the constantly-evolving needs of shoppers.

For their latest collection, “edition 28,” the Amsterdam-based label photographed their new clothes on the streets of Seoul, in a campaign shot by Dan McMahon.

In a press release, it was revealed that the cast for the shoot was chosen based on an open call, and the models were asked to style their selected pieces with garments from their own wardrobe.

“The campaign evolved organically as regular extreme cashmere collaborator McMahon and brand director Wies Verhoofstad travelled around the vibrant Korean city by van,” a statement from the brand reads. “Meeting charismatic individuals from all walks of life, the set-ups were diverse and deeply personal, ranging from a portrait of a couple in their favorite hotel room, to three generations of one family dressed up in their grandmother’s café, an entrepreneur in his wine bar, and three best friends posing in their studio.” You can shop the collection here.

Gucci Celebrates 60 Years in Japan with New Bamboo Bag Exhibition

Sixty years ago, Gucci was first introduced in Japan, with the luxury items of the Italian fashion house officially finding a home in the country in 1964. Now, to celebrate this major milestone, the maison is hosting a series of events, starting with a new exhibition dedicated to the Gucci Bamboo bag, which debuted in 1947.

“Bamboo 1947: Then and Now Celebrating 60 years of Gucci in Japan” will open at the Gucci Ginza Gallery in Ginza, Tokyo on August 2 and remain open until September 23.

With this exhibition, the label will present 60 vintage Gucci Bamboo bags, all of which have been revitalized by a group of traditional Japanese artisans and contemporary artists. Following the end of the exhibition, each bag will go on sale as an art piece. For now, you can shop the Gucci Bamboo collection here.

Seán McGirr Debuts First Campaign as Creative Director of Alexander McQueen

Seán McGirr, who was announced as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen back in October 2023, has just released his first official campaign since taking over the role from Sarah Burton, who held the position for nearly three decades.

McGirr, who was previously at JW Anderson and Dries Van Noten, revealed that the Fall/Winter ’24 collection was inspired by the city of London. “McQueen is a London-born brand and has always represented an idea of London that I’m deeply attached to,” he said in a statement. “It has a very visceral kind of energy, driven by the eclectic cast of characters you see [in this campaign]. I want to bring that energy to life with the rigor and raw feeling that makes the city’s air hum, leaning deep into its tensions – something that feels poetic and primal; powerful and real. Something that comes from people. I want to bring light to that.”

Shot in East London, the combined womenswear and menswear campaign captures McGirr’s strong new vision for the brand, which consists of razor-like clogs, rockstar-studded jackets, animal-inspired furs, and more. You can check out the complete set of shots at Alexander McQueen’s site here.
