Maison Margiela and Gentle Monster released their fourth eyewear collection, 'Deconstruction' (68 sunglasses and optical frames, from oversized shapes to slim frames with stitching that floats over the edges). Burberry's first collaboration with Smythson brings leather notebooks and travel games (cards, chess, backgammon) in Panama crossgrain leather lined in House Check, timed for the festive season.Source: Robb Report SingaporeAfrica · Nov 2026Lagos Fashion Week 2026 closes: retail-readiness talks and the ALÁRA showroomThe 16th edition, themed 'CRAFTED: Heritage.
