Karl Lagerfeld’s Unseen Sketches Head to Auction in Final Estate Sale

More than 1,000 previously unseen sketches from the personal archive of late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld will go under the hammer at Sotheby’s Paris in an online auction running from July 2 to 8, 2026. Offered without reserve and with bids starting at just one euro, the sale features hand-colored fashion drawings, working documents, and satirical political illustrations dating back to the 1970s, many of which remained private during Lagerfeld’s lifetime. The sixth and final auction dedicated to his estate also includes a selection of personal belongings, from his signature fingerless gloves to a collection of roughly 200 iPods that he famously used to organize music for his runway shows. Accompanied by a public exhibition in Paris through July 7, the sale offers a rare glimpse into the prolific creative process and meticulous habits of one of fashion’s most influential figures, while giving collectors a final chance to acquire pieces from his legendary personal archive.

Sarah Jessica Parker Reunites With Fendi’s Iconic Baguette Bag

Nearly three decades after helping turn the Fendi Baguette into a pop culture phenomenon through her role as Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker has reunited with the iconic handbag for Fendi’s latest campaign. Photographed by Bibi Borthwick, Parker appears alongside a cast of brand ambassadors and friends including Bang Chan, Emma D’Arcy, Jessica Alba, Addison Rae, and others, each carrying a version of the Baguette tailored to their personal style. Soundtracked by Addison Rae’s Fame is a Gun, the campaign celebrates the enduring appeal of the handbag first introduced in the late 1990s. Designed as a compact under-the-arm accessory but distinguished by its bold colors, prints, and materials, the Baguette stood in stark contrast to the era’s minimalist aesthetic and has remained one of fashion’s most recognizable bags ever since.

When the DR Congo national football team arrived in Houston for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it wasn’t just the team’s return to the tournament for the first time since 1974 that captured attention. The players quickly went viral for their arrival outfits: tailored suits featuring asymmetrical leopard-print sashes and matching bags designed by Paris-based Congolese designer Alvin Mak. Mak secured the commission after cold-emailing the country’s Ministry of Sports with his concept. Inspired by La Sape—the Congolese culture of elegant dress formally known as La Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes—the looks also paid tribute to the national team’s nickname, Les Léopards. Following widespread interest online, Mak revealed that he plans to make the now-iconic suits and bags available for pre-order through his brand, giving fans the chance to own one of the tournament’s most talked-about fashion moments.

José Mourinho Fronts Ferragamo’s New ‘Legends, Reimagined’ Campaign

As World Cup fever continues to grip fans worldwide, Ferragamo has tapped legendary football manager José Mourinho for its latest campaign, Legends, Reimagined. In a striking black-and-white film shared across the Italian luxury house’s social channels, Mourinho draws parallels between crafting a winning football strategy and the meticulous craftsmanship behind Ferragamo’s designs. “The game requires organization; you have to think about every detail; you have to design a structure,” he says in the campaign, before reflecting on the discipline and preparation required for success. “Practice, the body, the mind. Victory is what people remember. That is the legacy.” The collaboration positions Mourinho, long known as “The Special One,” as the embodiment of precision, excellence, and enduring legacy—values that sit at the heart of both elite sport and luxury fashion.
