The North Face has outfitted hikers and outdoor enthusiasts for more than 50 years with stylish and functional gear made for almost any weather condition.

D ior's latest handbag, the Dior Caro, is the perfect everyday bag with a timeless look. Meticulously crafted at the house's atelier in Italy, each bag receives more than 18,000 stitches during the quilting process to create the subtle geometric weave of cannage. Already being hailed as an icon, the Caro is available in small and large sizes, in classic black, gray, beige, and ivory, with edgier red, sky blue, mint green, and compass-rose options, as well as exotic variations in shearling and raw denim for the smaller size.

A NEW ICON TEEN KNIGHT POEM F r o m t h e C e l i n e equestrian flag bearers to the torched finale, this exposition is a full fashion fantasy g ro u n d e d b y t h e epitome of French Renaissance — the Château de Chambord. Much like the backdrop's mix of architecture that straddles French medieval and classic Renaissance, Celine c r e a t i v e d i r e c t o r Hedi Slimane brings together both punk and romance in a mix of studded leather, heavy knits, capes, fur boots, and creepers. Though appearing Old World, he's actually holding up a mirror to present-day society — the shedding of society labels and trends. You can be both the knight and the prince. Majestic and punk. Creating the perfect heartthrob of a man (with style, no less) is the real power of Slimane. The initially jarring masterpiece melds jackets and ruffled collars with beautiful men donning delicate earrings, thick-chained necklaces, and studded beanies. Utter perfection. Did you catch the fully studded lapel on that tailored jacket? Keeping this show on replay is my new obsession. I want every single piece in this collection. So should you. We are in a new renaissance. celine.com. Doug Voisin Celine 2021 Celine 2021 Alexander McQueen 42
