Inspired by its own pioneering heritage, the Swiss luxury brand launched the Peak Outlook initiative with the aim to preserve mountain environments, and made Mount Everest its first target. Previous clean-ups of the iconic mountain have been organised but reaching the peak at 8,848 metres was unprecedented. Lead by Dawa Steven Sherpa and his team of experienced climbers and guides, they successfully removed two tonnes of waste from the Himalayan mountain range. Items left behind from previous expeditions such as sleeping mats, winter apparel, climbing equipment, tents, empty petrol canisters, ropes and ladders were removed from Mount Everest, returning the mountain to its original pristine conditions. We love seeing luxury brands doing their part to make positive change!

Versace recreates J.Lo’s iconic Grammy red carpet fashion moment with a pair of sneakers

It’s been 19 years since J.Lo wore that gravity-defying tropical-print sheer dress from Versace to the Grammy’s in 2000. (19 years…we’ll give you a minute to let that sink in). If social media existed in 2000, she would’ve broken the internet. According to Project Syndicate, it was the most popular search query that Google had ever seen at that time. In collaboration with American brand Concepts, the two have partnered for a limited edition pair of Chain Reaction platform sneakers which features the same green, leafy print on J.Lo’s navel-plunging dress. It’s the closest we can get to being Jenny from the block. The sneakers are available in men’s and women’s sizes and can be purchased online at Concept’s web store.

Another Fendi classic that gets the Jackson Wang treatment is the Baguette bag, with the logos in velvet, embroidered on the frontal flap. The Fendi x Jackson Wang capsule collection will be made available exclusively to 33 selected Fendi boutiques around the world.

Will Smith is the face of Moncler’s ‘Genius is born crazy’ campaign

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air collaborating with Moncler? That’s genius! In the campaign, the Hollywood legend dons Moncler’s signature puffer coat in bright red, paired with silver trousers, cross-legged while levitating. Very zen. The actor, producer and musician revealed on an Instagram post that he’s always admired Moncler but when he got the call from the fashion brand, his first thought was “These [jokers] must be crazy”. He continued, “I’ve always dug their gear. So I listened to their ideas. Then I was like… that might be genius! I started pondering the relationship between crazy and genius, and I got more and more intrigued. Real dreamers always get called crazy!”
