All the style news you need this October

The newest, latest, and most talked-about fashion stuff.

75 never looked this fresh 

Japanese sports and fashion brand Onitsuka Tiger is celebrating its 75th anniversary the way it should—by bringing back its iconic sneaker OHBORI™. Originally launched in 1974, the sneaker has been rebranded as OHBORI™ A50, and pays a tribute to the brand’s legacy while incorporating new design elements and enhanced functionality. The brand new shoe, which is available in two colours, is keeping its signature toe and heel while adding some new materials. Whether you are a long-time fan or new to the brand, the OHBORI™ A50 is a must-have.

Bella and the bling 

American supermodel Bella Hadid is Chopard’s newest global ambassador, taking over from Julia Roberts. She made her debut in the Swiss jewellery brand’s latest campaign, Sculpted by Light, where she stuns in the Ice Cube collection—a nod to minimalism and simplicity. With the Princess of Nazareth (oh, that’s how most of us know her) in the spotlight, this isn’t just about jewellery because anything that she wears, touches, or even glances at becomes an instant trend. This could be the start of a bold new era for Chopard.

Rule breakers, welcome! 

Kolkata’s newest retail space, Unconventional, is here to break the mold! Founded out of Yash Jhunjhunwala and his mother’s love for Kolkata, this interactive store curates designers known for challenging norms and redefining fashion. With a global vision, they bring together creative talents from across the world, featuring brands such as Almost Gods, Polite Society, Rkive City, and Huemn. True to its name, Unconventional celebrates freedom and individuality, offering more than just clothes—it’s a one-of-a-kind shopping experience with a bold message: “Do not conform!”

Fresh faces forward 

Something must be in the air because fashion labels— Tom Ford, Givenchy, and Wendell Rodricks, among others—have announced new creative heads one after the other. Tom Ford’s new creative director is Colombiaborn French designer Haider Ackermann. This marks Ackermann’s return to fashion, whose eponymous label held its last runway show during AW’20. Meanwhile, Inca’s Amit Hansraj has been appointed the creative head for late designer Wendell Rodricks’ label. And it’s safe to say that it is in good hands since Hansraj’s first collection for the brand is all about flat fabrics, circular silhouettes, and solid colours—something that Rodricks would approve of. The French luxury brand Givenchy also announced a new creative director: Sarah Burton. The British designer, who spent her entire fashion career at Alexander McQueen, becomes one of only five women to hold a creative director title at an LVMH-owned fashion house.
