Topping things off were bags stuffed with jars of mayonnaise, because why not. Chopova Lowena has our heart, always.

FKA twigs’ durational art piece is launching in London this weekend. To celebrate the release of her new single “Eusexua”, the artist will be hosting and performing a movement piece at London’s Sotheby’s Gallery every day for the next two weeks. Conceived by the multi-disciplinary artist over several months, The Eleven will display the full range of twigs’ artistic vision and capabilities.

Dior’s heritage gets magnified in their new bag collection. Inspired by the Napoleon III-style chairs on which Christian Dior seated his guests at his salon in Paris, the Cannage motif is as iconic to Dior as pastries are to France. Now, the fashion house has enlarged the pattern on their latest drop of Dior Men’s bags, making for multiple pieces of walking art and fashion history. Printed on many classic Dior styles (including the Saddle Twin and the Weekender), the Maxi Cannage is available either in a delicious smoky black or beige grained leather.

The 44-piece strong collab will feature plenty of underwear (it’s CK, baby!) but also dresses, skirts and jackets. We can’t wait to see this double bill.
