Ksubi launches the Ksuper jean with Veneda Carter

Ksubi steps into its Ksuper era with a new denim icon: an ultra-baggy, low-rise jean that’s equal parts attitude and edge. Fronting the campaign is fashion muse Veneda Carter, who styles and stars in the Richie Davis-shot visuals, bringing her signature cool to the bold silhouette. Crafted from premium denim and launching in six washes (yes, even leopard), the Ksuper is Ksubi’s baggiest women’s fit to date. With pin-tuck detailing and that lived-in Ksubi feel, it’s more than a jean — it’s a declaration.

The capsule is now available at Ksubi stores in Sydney and Melbourne, and online at ksubi.com.

Fendi rewinds to 1977 for a dreamy summer 2025 capsule

As part of its centenary celebrations, Fendi dives into the archives for Summer 2025, drawing inspiration from Histoire d’Eau — the house’s cinematic fashion film set in Rome. The capsule reimagines Karl Lagerfeld’s first Fendi designs through a sun-drenched lens, pairing breezy silhouettes with sculptural coral motifs, underwater florals, and nostalgic nods to the Italian seaside. Expect cocooning shapes, playful embroidery, and a palette that dances between seafoam, iced lemon, and coral red. It’s a collection designed for Roman summers, salt-sprayed evenings, and timeless holiday glamour — equal parts elegant memory and modern escape.

Olivia Bond introduces ‘Bubble’

Olivia Bond Diamonds introduces the Bubble Collection — a playful, gemstone-studded take on the brand’s signature elegance. Inspired by childhood jewellery and arcade claw machines (in the chicest way possible), the collection reimagines classic design with spherical silhouettes and irregular bezels that feel fresh, fun, and finely crafted. From diamonds to tanzanite, each piece is set in solid 18-carat gold and made to be worn solo or stacked. With its colourful spirit and refined edge, the Bubble Collection brings a little lightness — and a lot of sparkle — to the everyday.
