52 NOTES ON FASHION BY STEVEN HEMPEL A NEW CLASSIC L ouis Vuitton's latest handbag, launching this month, embodies classic Parisian chic. The LV Pont 9, named for the Pont Neuf bridge opposite LV's Paris headquarters, is made from Vuitton's new LV Pont 9 leather and has a prominent Louis Vuitton Circle logo — a 1930s-era design reinterpreted by artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière. We love the gusseted construction, LV Monogram magnetic closure, and pair of interior pockets and compartments. In understated Noir and Crème or vibrant Bleu Orage, Rose Dahlia, and Summer Gold. Launching April 17 at the Louis Vuitton boutique. NEW FACE, NEW YOU G ucci wants to let your face tell the story. House director Alessandro Michele heralds this month's launch of three beauty products that are designed to enhance character by accentuating, not concealing. Poudre De Beauté Mat Natural powder ($62) gives fl awless perfection, while the Crayon Définition Sourcils powder eyebrow pencil ($30) provides texture and color to brows. Éclat De Beauté Effet Lumière gel gloss ($44) gives your face the ultimate, glowing fi nish. Coming this month to Sephora. J immy Choo creative director Sandra Choi recently teamed up with brand muse and supermodel Kaia Gerber to create a capsule collection for the Spring/Summer 2020 collection. The pair reimagined four Choo classics and infused them with Gerber's '90s grunge- meets-California-cool aesthetic. The collection features two boots (combat and Western) and a pair of low heels that are practical for everyday but edgy enough to dress up ... or down. Fifteen percent of sales from the collection go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. At the Jimmy Choo boutique, jimmychoo.com. JIMMY CHOO X KAIA LOCK IT IN L ouis Vuitton has launched the latest version of the Silver Lockit bracelet — the first designed by men's artistic director Virgil Abloh. The corded bracelet is available in black, orange, celadon green, and blue with glimpses of yellow; all feature Abloh's signature bold chains, Louis Vuitton charm, and an engraved padlock. Inspired by the tumbler lock invented by Georges Vuitton in 1890, the Silver Lockit made its debut in 2016 — a symbol of sealing one's promise to help children at risk. To date, this collaboration with UNICEF has raised $10 million to help vulnerable children throughout the world. With each sold bracelet, Louis Vuitton donates $100 to UNICEF as part of the #MAKEAPROMISE campaign. $430, at the Louis Vuitton boutique, louisvuitton.com. T h e m a n w h o h a s everything a l m o s t c e r t a i n l y does not have this. Chanel is expanding its Boy de Chanel grooming products. Fortifying Gel Moisturizer ($80) is full of antioxidants to whisk away the bad stuff and soothes the skin and preps it for the good stuff coming next. Concealer ($45) corrects and perfects, while the 3-in-1 Eye Pencil ($34) lasts up to 12 hours for even more drama, and Nail Colour in jet black ($28) fi nishes your tough boy look. Nail Colour also comes in natural transparent, but we say why bother. It's go big or go home. This should get the job done. Coming in June to the Chanel boutique, department and specialty stores, chanel.com. LOVE IN BOLD FACE
