Since its launch in 1997, MM6 Maison Margiela has become world-renowned for bending the rules of fashion with collections that twist quotidian wardrobe staples into idiosyncratic and irreverent streetwear-infused essentials for all genders.

_{MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex T80 ring watch}

For this exclusive collaboration, the retro-style T80 is reimagined as two distinct offerings: a two-in-one wristwatch, offered as a gift set with an additional standalone stainless-steel bracelet, and a first-ever T80 ring watch. An exploration of appearance and illusion that plays upon notions of iconography, convention, and perception, the MM6 Maison Margiela x TIMEX collection redefines how time itself can be worn.

_{MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex T80 ring watch}

Through minimal, instinctive design gestures, MM6 has reinterpreted Timex’s classic T80 as an endlessly adaptable accessory, offering a multitude of styling options. Building on MM6’s continual exploration of ‘Ways to Wear It,  a design process which places great importance on the individuality of the wearer,  it allows for immediacy and spontaneity in dressing.

_{MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex T80 watch}

The MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex collection is a radical reimagining of the retro-style T80 watch, blending the legacy of expertise and craftsmanship with MM6’s avant-garde approach to design.

With a 34mm polished stainless-steel case and brushed and polished stainless-steel bracelet, it offers a sleek, contemporary style that’s endlessly adaptable to complement your look. It’s equipped with a mineral lens and features a mirrored mask displaying a sequence of digits from 0 to 23 – with ‘6’ encircled as a nod to the MM6 numerical signature.

_{MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex T80 watch}

It still naturally offers all the functionality you’d expect from our T80: a chronograph, daily alarm, timer, month and date display, and the INDIGLO® backlight for night visibility. Offered as a gift set, this watch also includes a standalone brushed and polished stainless-steel bracelet, designed to be worn with the watch or alone in three ways.

The post Glass Guide to Swimwear – the essential styles for every summer moment first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

To do this, we peeked on the catwalks of the most important Haute Couture shows, where the fashion innovations that will set trends are unveiled as world premieres. When it comes to bags, there are many new entries, some confirmations and many important returns, with collections that continue to amaze with their refined non-conformism, including studs, quilted leather and fabulous nuances, such as the Valentino Garavani bags, true works of art, capable of reinventing classic models and twisting even the most traditional designs in a modern key.

Clutch bag

If there is one bag model that has been all the rage on the catwalks and has been proposed by all the world’s leading designers, it is the clutch bag. A super feminine accessory, small in size, whose shape originally resembles that of a wallet, only to be reinterpreted in larger versions and embellished with jewels, sequins, rhinestones, studs and precious stones. In the spring-summer season of 2024, this typical evening bag, suitable for the most elegant occasions and to be carried exclusively by hand or under the arm, becomes a mini bag that is also ideal for everyday outfits, in fresh and lively shades. Among the models that have conquered the catwalks of the major fashion weeks are the round clutch bags, the unprecedented circular bags that can be worn on the shoulder, cross-body or hand-held thanks to the removable leather handle and shoulder strap or in the very luxurious metal and rhinestone or Swarovski® crystal version by Valentino Garavani. From the same Maison, the Valentino Garavani Rockstud23, the iconic bag with pyramid shaped studs that comes in bright, vibrant and gritty shades for cheeky looks and outfits with a soul that is both punk and chic. Owning such a bag is every woman’s wish.

Shoulder bag

Mini and discreet, or maxi and comfy, shoulder bags continue to be the most popular accessory even in spring-summer 2024, with the advantage not only of being feminine and trendy, but also of being able to comfortably carry everything you need. A bag that, in recent years, has conquered the fashion world, becoming a protagonist on the catwalk practically during every season. Among the re-editions of cult models, innovative versions in terms of design and materials and special proposals with chain straps, gold inserts and decorations rich in rhinestones and luxury details, shoulder bags continue to be a trend. Among the most sought-after models, Valentino Garavani Locò bag, in its small and medium version, confirms its place at the top of the list: made of soft, smooth, lacquered leather and featuring distinctive details that give it a bold, modern allure and a style inspired by the ’90s, this bag takes the retro factor to the next level. Also very cool is the elongated, parallelepiped version, which is highly in vogue this season, to be embraced and combined with looks with a distinct retro feel. Let’s take a closer look at why this bag continues to set trends.

Valentino Garavani Locò shoulder bag

The Valentino Garavani Locò bag is an essential and functional bag that evokes the idea of movement and contemporaneity. Proposed in a cool, compact design, it has a minimalist appeal and a distinctly urban style, with a retro appeal and distinctive details that make it bold and perfect for practically any occasion. The small shoulder bag comes in three different versions: in leather in contemporary city colours (black, green, ivory, ultramarine blue, pink and Powder Rose), in metallic leather with a cracked effect and antique brass finish, and in raffia (with jewelled logo or embroidered profile). The Valentino Garavani Locò bag is designed in new feminine and romantic pastel shades, with the possibility to detach the handle, transforming the shoulder bag into a clutch, giving it perfect versatility. Then there is the micro version with chain, and new models in more eye-catching declinations (for example, the new Toile Iconographe pattern, embroidered with metallic leather and Swarovski® covered VLogo Signature, with rhinestone, with shaded effect embroidery, etc.). The Valentino Garavani Locò bag represents the ultimate expression of urbanity and feminine madness and becomes an elegant and very chic accessory that will set trends this Spring Summer 2024.

Hobo bag

When talking about evergreens, we cannot fail to mention the hobo bag, a model that combines elegance and retro charm and which changes and renews itself season after season, while remaining a must-have that has driven celebrities around the world crazy. It is a soft bag with a crescent shape, versatile and perfect for both a casual daytime style and more sophisticated evening outfits. In spring summer 2024, the mini hobo is definitely one of the most popular sizes, with the trend of wearing it as a second bag in combination with a handbag or as a luxury accessory for more chic outfits, but the hobo in a maxi version is also arriving, ready to amaze and give fashion a new look. So what is the model that will be the talk of the town and that all women will want to have? The Valentino Garavani VLogo Moon bag features a “wedge moon” silhouette with a chain handle to be worn like a bracelet, available in three different sizes (mini, small and normal) and in the new entry in maxi, in a series of couture shades ranging from yellow to red, passing through basic black and elegant powder.

Woven bag

Summery, light and very basic: the trend towards woven bags as the top accessory for spring summer 2024 is now unstoppable. The handmade bags are winning over every woman with their high level of tailoring, meticulous workmanship and very special weave. At the same time simple and sophisticated, this season’s woven bags are colourful, retro, elegant, minimal or enriched with luxury details and come in many different versions and sizes. The must-have model in your wardrobe? The new Valentino Garavani AllKnots bag. Entirely handcrafted in raffia with a tone-on-tone enamelled Signature VLogo detail, circular handles and an internal nappa leather drawstring clutch that can be removed and used separately, the Valentino Garavani Allknots bag comes in two versions, a tote and a new hobo shape and is available in natural colours (ivory, cappuccino, cedar yellow and black). A true haute couture masterpiece that becomes a work of art to be worn to be beautiful on any occasion.

Bucket bag

When it comes to fashion trends, the bucket bag is ever-present: capable of being feminine and trendy and, at the same time, practical and vintage, it represents the timeless accessory that constantly climbs the trend charts of the season. In spring summer 2024, it will be back again, in incredible versions and unprecedented proposals. From models in shiny leather or suede to the highly original nylon or wicker ones that immediately catch the eye, to models revisited in a modern key, up to the more contemporary metallic or decorated in a rock style, such as the bucket bags signed by Valentino Garavani, in garnet leather with studs and metal parts with a platinum finish or in metallic leather with light gold coloured metal details. Whatever the choice, bucket bags will experience a real revival in 2024 and will once again establish themselves as must-haves for every fashionista and style lover.

This guide will show how the trend came into play in the past season, and how you can make the most of this trend before the wintery temperature drop. From casual to elegant, we cover all the bases.

If you, like me during lockdown, needed to find a way to escape by learning something new or creating, you may recognise the familiar knitting knots of crochet, which became one of the many fascinations birthed from that time spent at home. Now, a year or so on, crochet has seeped into luxury fashion consciousness like never before.

Crochet offers an adaptable quality many knit pieces cannot. It is airy enough for summer fits and also great for a cosy, comfortable feel. And with the first day of autumn starting tomorrow, according to the astronomical calendar, let’s make use of these last few weeks of sunshine by wearing pieces from CULT GAIA to Chloe.

Raffia Bucket Hat, £55

Tired Crochet Cardigan Orange, £300

Demi Bag Crochet in Fire, £POA

Formentera Wedges, £280

CHLOE Black Long Flared Tank Dress in Wool Hand-crochet with Ring Inserts and Finishings, £1,690

The post Glass discovers the seasonal metamorphosis of crochet first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

The last time I attended Glastonbury I was 11 years old, a time in which I had parents to rely on for everything and anything, so admittedly I may have gone a little overboard… Better to be safe than sorry.

Star 5m Bell Tent in Oxford Ultralite 100gsm at Boutique Camping £495

The cream of the crop, the belle of the ball, the star of the show… Renowned for being strong, spacious and incredibly striking, the star bell tent by Boutique Camping ® has mastered the art of camping. Built with a three metre central pole to allow you to stand up – an absolute luxury in the world of tents, featuring a one metre canopy under which you can hide from the sun or rain, as well as a guaranteed bug-free interior, enabled via the 360° mesh walls, the design is respective of all requirements of an outdoor adventure. Plus, the nifty windows around the bottom edge of the tent that allow breeze to enter whilst you snooze get top marks from me.

The 5m Bell Tent can sleep up to eight people, making it the perfect investment for a group heading to Glastonbury. And though some may fear the weight and maintenance of cotton bell tents, this one is made of Oxford 100GSM, which is waterproof, quick drying, lightweight and requires pretty much zero maintenance, making it a cost-effective option, particularly for festivals.

Forclaz Trekking Sleeping Bag £59.99, Quechua Pillow £19.99, Quechua Inflatable Camping Single Mattress £84.99, Quechua Camping Bedside Table £19.99, all at Decathlon

The ultimate way to complete the luxury of the bell tent is a sleeping quadruplet from Decathlon. As someone who has camped for two weeks in a small tent in Cornwall, I know full well how frustrating losing your most important bits are within the confines of a humid space. The Quechua camping bedside table creates a haven of organisation with pockets, pull out drawer and a foldable build, meaning it can be easily stored when not in use.

I also know how crucial a good sleeping set up is. Quechua’s self inflatable (just leave it with the valve open and viola) 70 cm mat builds the comfort of your own home, and when paired with their Ultim Comfort shape-memory pillow you’ll soon be asleep. The Forclaz sleeping bag is the ultimate temperature regulator, perfect for those who start off cold and wake up too hot – the two 3/4 zips with two-way cursor for heat management creates ventilation to suit.

Yeti Hopper Flip 8 Soft Cooler £200

Anyone who enjoys to camp should own a Yeti. They’re the leaders in the coolers game, building products that are engineered to be tough, light and ultimately very cool. The Hopper Flip® 8, which has the insulation power only a Yeti® Cooler can provide, can house 8 cans of sweet Glastonbury nectar, using 2:1 ice-to-can ratio.

And when we tried it for ourselves, the cans were still cold after a 12 hours. The DryHide Shell is made from a high-density fabric that withstands punctures and UV rays, and with a high performance zip, there’s no risk of any warmth affecting the cool. Plus, if you really want to ensure the ice cold longevity, you can purchase one of their can insulators, which has the added bonus of keeping your hands dry.

Hi Gear Haven Shelter 350 £195 with Side Panel £22 at Go Outdoors

The perfect party roof come rain or shine. The Hi Gear shelter features 350 x 350 x 240cm dimensions meaning you can have an ample pre-festival drink with up to 8 people – chairs included. It is held up by as strong steel structure, and is made of heavy duty polyester fabric that is fire retardant and features 80% UV protection. Plus, the colours are pretty enough for group pictures and with a nifty side panel, you can ensure a protective layer from any wind carried rain.

Eastpak Transit’R S Camo Dye Khaki £145

For those packing light, the Eastpak Transit’R in small is the perfect companion for Glastonbury. Featuring multiple pockets, an integrated locking system, and dual front carry handles, and this camo printed case is the durable support you need for all your festival fits.

DB Hugger Roller Bag 90L £299

Alternatively, if you’re the type to bring three variations of walking boot and a makeup bag dedicated purely to glitter, then perhaps the larger option from DB, the stylish wheeled luggage for adventurers, is for you. With multiple pockets, an incredibly lightweight finish, and an integrated ribcage construction that keeps everything inside fully protected, the packing for Glastonbury just got that bit easier.

It is also Hook-Up System compatible, a feature exclusive to DB that allows other DB products to be attached together to provide ultimate ease. The backpack below, for example, can safely store itself on the front of the roller bag in order to give your back the break it needs.

The DB Hugger Backpack 25l £169

Ember Travel Mug £189

This is the holy grail piece of technology for those who like to start the day with a hot drink. At Glastonbury, the process of having to make a cuppa can seem so daunting that you find yourself either skipping the caffeine or spending far too much on the hunt for some.

The Ember Travel Mug means you only need to find hot water, and with this smart heated travel mug you can then set an exact drinking temperature and keep it there for up to 3 hours, so your drink is never too hot, or too cold. Slurp on it in victory as you head back to camp.

Antler Clifton Vanity Case in black £80

The ultimate companion to anyone who wants to have their toiletries at the ready this festival season – this vanity case by Antler is an agile, effective, and stylishly suave addition to your packing necessities. Downsizing their best-selling luggage, the Clifton, Antler have built a unit that provides crucial extra space for makeup, beauty products, or even camping bits that you don’t want to lose. With internal dividers and pockets, your life can stay organised, and the strap feature serves as an additional bonus, allowing you to carry it on the go. Plus, if you also have an Antler suitcase, you can easily attach this to the top for ease whilst travelling. A robust yet lightweight solution for all festival goers.

Sisley Paris Super Stick Solaire Teinte SPF 50+ £88

Small and compact, this mini suncream stick by Sisley Paris is the ultimate addition to your festival party pouch. For those who have delicate areas of the face that respond poorly to heavy suncreams, Sisley Paris has created a super stick that is equipped with a high-performance complex of latest generation mineral screens, particularly indicated for sensitive areas of the face. The tinted versions also double up as makeup coverage, so there isn’t any need for the makeup-post-suncream mess. It is incredibly soft to apply and it isn’t affected by a little sweat.

AllSaints Catriona Mariana Bandeau Swimsuit in Orange Tiedye £89

The ultimate multi-purpose must have for a festival. With a dual fit as a bandeau for festival looks as well as a swimsuit for a dip or for when you are simply lounging in the beating sun, this nifty swimsuit in orange tiedye will make you a source of envy for fellow festival-goers.

66 NORTH Kria Funnell Neck Shell Jacket £375 exclusively at selfridges.com

66°North has collaborated with London department store Selfridges on an exclusive unisex capsule collection for the festival season. The capsule includes a variety of styles that work on the 66°North 1990’s heritage ‘Kría’ collection, building retro colour blocking and workwear style. Made in technical Polartec NeoShell fabric, this jacket is wind proof, waterproof yet still retains breathability, making it the perfect jacket for the unpredictable British weather.

Le Chameau Vierzon Jersey Lined Boot in Vert £160

Le Chameau are the leaders of the classic festival boot, having started their company in 1927 and retaining a reputation of the only rubber boots to be handmade by a single master bootmaker. It means each boot is unique and retains a special value to own. The first Vierzon style, seen above, was made in 1965 and it has come to be a well cherished design for outdoorsy people.

Handcrafted from their natural chamolux rubber with a polycotton and tartan patterned jersey lining, and it feels like your calves are being cushioned by silk. The shock-absorbing dual-density grip outsole is enduring, resists abrasion and is suitable for all terrains, and when considered alongside the effortlessly stylish fit with a shiny olive finish, and the opportunities to wear are endless. It doesn’t need to be only for Glasto.

Hades Rebel Rebel Jumper £225

Widely thought to be one of the best performances of Glastonbury history, David Bowie’s 2000 show, which was also recorded live and produced into an album aptly titled Glastonbury, reclaimed his legendary aura. It was also a performance shrouded in secrecy for a long time due to the fact that the BBC cut off the streaming of it after a mere four songs, a request Bowie made himself.

So what better way to say I’m a Glastonbury know-it-all than this glorious Hades jumper, from their Hunky Dory: The Bowie collection, made with the softest knit. Pair it with shorts and cowboy boots and you’ll be Glasto ready.

Belstaff Trialmaster Wax Jacket in Faded Olive £495

Wax jackets have become synonymous with the festival style diaries Glastonbury has produced year on year. It’s a jacket that, like the classic wellington boot, escapes trends and is timeless in its purpose. It is Belstaff’s definitive jacket since 1948, built initially for the gruelling conditions of The Trialmaster, the Scottish Six Days Trial motorcycle event, but now cherished for journeys of all kinds. The Belstaff wax jacket features a flattering waist belt, corduroy collar and brass metal detailing, perfect for a practical punch with style.

Holzweiler Sognsvann Low Rubber Boots in Black £220

There are rumours that we might have a high 20s weather forecast for the weekend of Glastonbury *she prays*, and if that’s the case, I’ll need lower boots for breathability. The Holzweiler Sognsvann low rubber boots in black are the perfect option for this scenario.

Made in collaboration with Norwegian heritage brand Viking footwear, they are 100% waterproof, and made in natural rubber that is vegan and PVC-free. The overall design is incredibly stylish, with a chunky grip platform, all black design, and smooth matte finish, meaning you can pair them with anything and everything.
