The collaboration between Victoria Beckham and Mango is now available in stores, Laura Dern is featured in Roger Vivier's “Travelling Icons” short film series, Tiffany & Co. hosts a star-studded launch event at The Beverly Estate, and Nadia Lee Cohen is in the spotlight for her Paris Texas collaboration.
Victoria Beckham’s Mango collection is now on sale.
Victoria Beckham’s new Mango collection was released on April 23 as part of Mango’s strategic plan for 2024-26, emphasizing aspirationalism, high quality, and unique style.
Victoria Beckham x Mango, designed by Beckham, reflects her brand's mix of classic British luxury and contemporary subtlety, as well as the shared values of both fashion brands.
Beckham described the 46-piece collection, which ranges from $80 to $500 and includes tailored separates, slip dresses, shoes, and accessories, as an opportunity to connect with a different community and as true to her brand's essence.
The collection, launched in conjunction with Mango’s 40th anniversary, is the latest in a series of collaborations with other brands, artists, and talents such as Simon Miller, Camille Charrière, and Pernille Teisbaek.
Laura Dern talks about her role in Roger Vivier’s “Travelling Icons” short film series.
Actress and Roger Vivier ambassador Laura Dern stars in “Vivier Express,” the first part of the French luxury house’s “Travelling Icons” short film series, which celebrates the brand’s iconic designs through unique narratives. In the inaugural episode, Dern’s character embodies the essence of the Viv’ Choc handbag, an essential accessory that reflects her timeless elegance and allure. “Vivier Express” continues the brand’s tradition of short films featuring prominent Hollywood actors like Isabella Rossellini, Isabelle Huppert, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, and Catherine Deneuve. Felloni enlisted longtime collaborators for the film: Italian director Nicolangelo Gelormini, screenwriter Andrea Danese, and Studio Paura.
Dern discussed the new project and her connection to the fashion brand with TheWrap.
Dern's introduction to the Roger Vivier brand was through the film “Belle de Jour” and seeing her first pair of Roger Vivier shoes worn by Catherine Deneuve.
She shared a behind-the-scenes anecdote from filming, recalling a torrential rainstorm when they had to protect the shoes, feeling like it was a sacrilege to wear old rubber boots in the company of Gherardo.
The actor expressed her belief in the alignment between acting and design, emphasizing the focus on identity and style by both actors and designers when creating characters or discovering the personas they portray.
Do you think that the partnership between fashion and film can impact culture and creativity?
In some way, it always has and still does. They have the strongest influence on me as an actress and as a person in the fashion world. When it comes to a great designer like Gherardo, he is a storyteller and in some ways it’s the same calling.
You were personally selected to film the first episode of the
Travelling Icons
series by Gherardo Felloni himself. How do you feel about being part of his vision for this short film?
I deeply adore Gherardo and Roger Vivier, so as a fan, I was excited to be part of it and to show appreciation for a brand that deeply inspired me.
What role do you believe fashion accessories play, both in film and in everyday life?
They are a significant part of a character for me and I’ve loved how they’ve played a role in shaping stories. In everyday life, when it comes to women in fashion, I don’t think anyone’s primary love wouldn’t be shoes or a bag. “Can you reveal any upcoming film projects you’re excited about?“ Having just produced a television series for Apple TV+, “Palm Royale,” I am currently filming a movie in London written and directed by Noah Baumbach.
Given Roger Vivier’s rich history with film and Felloni’s collaborations with renowned actresses, how do you feel this heritage influenced the storytelling and aesthetic of
Vivier Express
Cinema adores Roger Vivier and the brand has become iconic within it. Gherardo loves film like my favorite filmmakers love film, so it’s a seamless collaboration and you feel the influences in his vision.

Tiffany & Co. celebrates the launch of the Blue Book 2024 Céleste collection
Tiffany & Co. hosted a starry celebration on April 25 to commemorate the launch of its “Blue Book 2024 Céleste collection“?
at The Beverly Estate.
Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste is the latest expression of Tiffany’s esteemed high jewelry collection. As the second Blue Book collection designed by Tiffany’s chief artistic officer of jewelry and high jewelry, Nathalie Verdeille, Tiffany Céleste adapts and rediscovers Jean Schlumberger’s iconic interpretations of the sun, moon, stars, distant galaxies and fantasy worlds.
“The Tiffany Blue Book collection tells the extraordinary story of our legendary craftsmanship with the world’s most exceptional diamonds and gemstones.” Anthony Ledru, Tiffany’s president and CEO, said. “Each piece of this collection embodies the brilliance and legacy of Jean Schlumberger as reimagined by Nathalie Verdeille.” Emily Blunt and Usher (Source: Getty Images for Tiffany & Co.) The collection will be released in three stages throughout 2024, starting in the spring, then summer and fall. The spring collection will begin with seven unique sections: Wings, Arrow, Constellation, Iconic Star, Shooting Star, Ray of Light and Apollo.
“Our examination of [Jean Schlumberger’s] work started with Blue Book 2023: Out of the Blue. We delved into the depths of the ocean to reinterpret his imaginative portrayal of the underwater world. For Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste, contrasting with the sea, the stars offered a new perspective to rediscover the scope of Jean Schlumberger’s fantasy realm,” Verdeille stated. “The new collection encompasses all that decorates the skies, as well as that which exists far beyond them.”

’s store expansion and new design was led by the Moinard Betaille agency, who drew inspiration from Orange County’s diverse landscape – from its local vegetation to the shimmering waters at Laguna and Newport Beaches, and from the nearby Mojave Desert’s sweeping sand dunes to the cracked earth at Joshua Tree. The three-dimensional front, the first of its kind for the Maison in North America, is handcrafted in aqua resin with plaster details designed to evoke a gentle sea breeze. Local flora can be found throughout the store, including the handcrafted staff columns inspired by palm trees and the hand-painted Moss + Lam mural depicting a hyperreal portrait of local vegetation in dusty desert tones..
