बॉलीवुड गलियारे के क्यूट कपल्स में से एक रणवीर सिंह और दीपिका पादुकोण को बीती रात मुंबई के बांद्रा में स्थित मिज़ू रेस्टोरेंट के पास स्पॉट किया गया। इस दौरान इस जोड़ी ने ऐसे कपड़े पहने हुए थे, जिन पर से एक पल को नजरें हटाना मुश्किल हो जाएगा।
If 2020 was the year that turned closets into cemeteries for all the outfits that coulda-woulda-shoulda been, 2021 will see those untouched ensembles resurrected as artifacts from The Before: sparkly relics to be admired, not worn — at least not yet. And with the fashion biggies, you know, Vuitton, Gucci, Loewe, "etc," (that was a v subtle Off White nod) blessing our screen-fatigued eyes with a slew of new handbag-shaped masterpieces, it seems the closet-cum-museum situation might catch on for the long term.
If you hear the word purse and immediately think dust receptacle, it's time to ditch your 2020 goggles for good. Now that the-year-that-shall-no-longer-be-named is officially behind us, the future of fashion is filled with swoon-scrolling, not doom-scrolling. The latest trend with nearly every major luxury house is limited and collector's-edition artist collabs (oh hello, Keith Haring, Ken Price, and Urs Fischer), delightfully unexpected partnerships (looking at you, Longchamp x Pokémon), and exclusive Lunar New Year capsules (Prada, Fendi, Dior). It's enough to transport the mind straight into sartorial fantasy land. Let's hang here for a bit.
If you're not buying what we're selling here, then consider what J.W. Anderson's latest capsule has to say: "The secret of life is in art." This famous quote featured on all sorts of tops and totes is more than just the wise words of Oscar Wilde — it's a reminder of the power of design to bring us joy, to instill hope, and to make us want to sling an incredible bag over our shoulders and head out into the world armed with the passion of a thousand literary geniuses. Ahead, we've rounded up the top collector-style bag capsules this season that are just waiting to be ogled, be it on your shelf or on your screen.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Amidst all the buzz surrounding its unlikely (but groovy!) North Face collaboration — there were sleeping bags! and tents! — the ever-whimsical Gucci introduced its manga-inspired Doraemon capsule collection in celebration of Lunar New Year. The cat-like character has been sent from the 22nd century not only to help a young boy named Nobita (as the story goes), but to grace the exteriors of an exclusive range of covetable bucket bags, totes, and more that are peak Gucci goodness.

Designer Jonathan Anderson has always admired Oscar Wilde for more than just his literary prowess. The outspoken writer was a rebel of his times who subverted the status quo, so Anderson launched this capsule collection to harness that audacious spirit. This tote, along with every other piece in the collection, is emblazoned with Wilde words (see what we did there?) that serve as a mantra for Anderson's approach to design and to life.

For a purse that tells a story, look no further than the vibrant designs from Loewe's Ken Price Collection. The American artist drew inspiration everywhere from Mexican folk art to surf culture to sunny landscapes — all of which come to life as pieces of the luxury label's signature Puzzle Bag.

While Fendi launched a luxe and lust-worthy range of styles to welcome the Year of the Ox, the House's iconic selection of baguettes are always too delicious to resist. This embroidered iteration in particular is deserving of a spot on the highest of pedestals to be admired forever and always.

On Thursday, Rosalía took to Instagram to show off yet another one of her stylish ensembles. For the post, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter wore a gray, off-the-shoulder sweater dress, featuring fringe details and one very high slit. What made the look even better is that she paired it with knee-high, lug-soled boots. Both the dress and footwear were a result of Stockholm-based fashion brand Eytys’ spring ‘21 collection.
Rosalía’s dress, called the Gemi Multi Boucle, will retail for $380 upon its release later this year, according to Footwear News. Like her chunky footwear — a trend that’s been on the rise for months now, but is currently making waves on the streets at couture fashion week, thanks to Bella Hadid — her fringe dress is one of this season’s top trends. During fall ‘20 fashion month last February, fringe details appeared in almost every brand’s ready-to-wear collection, including Givenchy and Bottega Veneta. A fringe coat from the former went on to be worn by Rihanna on the September cover of Harper’s Bazaar; the same coat was later spotted on Hailey Bieber during a coffee run in October. But even after seeing the trend be done time and time again, Rosalía’s take on it feels fresh because of the on-point boots, called the Impreza Dust ($470), that she paired the dress with.
Given that Eytys released its fall ‘21 lookbook on the same day as her post, Rosalía’s wearing of the dress and boots looks to be an unofficial endorsement from the singer, who has long been a supporter of the impossibly cool brand. In 2019, she was spotted in Los Angeles wearing an oversized Eytys jacket with Prada Monolith combat boots and tiny, punk-inspired sunglasses. Just last week, she wore the brand again, in an Instagram post that showed her horseback riding while wearing a black tank top from its collection.
After perusing Eytys’ just-released collection which includes a smattering of other popular trends — from boxer shorts to baggy jeans and leather blazers — it’s clear why she’s such a fan.

“Ella communicates this moment in time,” Ivan Bart, the president of IMG Models, told The New York Times this week. “There’s a cheekiness and a joy she exudes.” Later, Bart told the publication that the moment Emhoff appeared on screen at the Inauguration — clad in a long, crystal-covered Miu Miu coat with a statement collar, he thought, “Wow, she’s communicating fashion.”
Emhoff — or as the internet likes to call her, the “First Daughter of Bushwick” — isn’t new to the fashion scene. She is a senior at Parsons School of Design in New York City, where she majors in fine arts with a focus in textiles, and a knitwear designer with a significant following on Instagram. What’s more, she’s already been modeling for a year, per The Times, but with representation from a smaller agent. Now with an agency that lists names like Alex Wek, Chanel Iman, and Ashley Graham backing her, it won’t be long before we’ll see her everywhere.
The 21-year-old first caught our attention on November 7, when she arrived in Wilmington, DE, alongside thousands of excited (and relieved) Biden-Harris supporters, to congratulate her stepmother, as well as now-President Joe Biden, on their big win. For the occasion, Emhoff chose a pinstripe suit from The Frankie Shop, a trend-forward fashion brand and multi-brand retailer with brick-and-mortar shops in Paris and Manhattan’s Lower East Side. On her lapel was an American flag pin; on her feet, lug-soled loafers. The look was both appropriate for the occasion and representative of Emhoff’s style. (She told The Times that her uniform consists of black trousers and a white tank top.) Not long after, rumors swirled that she might knit her own suit for the Inauguration. Naturally, people online (myself included) got excited.
She ended up wearing a burgundy, three-quarter sleeve dress from New York-based indie label Batsheva, with her now-viral Miu Miu coat on over it. A black headband by Loeffler Randal that matched her handbag, leather gloves, and face mask completed the look — which was styled by Jill Lincoln and Jordan Johnson, according to The Times.
According to the publication, Bart first set his sights on Emhoff prior to the Inauguration — at a fundraising event during Harris’ presidential primaries in the summer of last year: “I noticed her as soon as she walked in the door.”
