This week in fashion was filled with moments that we want to highlight. First, Lupita Nyong’o wore a head-turning black catsuit designed by Prada for her latest film A Quiet Place: Day One. Next up, SKIMS released a new campaign ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris with Olympians Fred Kerley, Nick Mayhugh, Gabby Thomas, and a slew of others featured in the campaign.
Today, Hanifa released its new Spring/Summer 2024 collection with pieces that fit the signature codes of the label. Additionally, Baggu has tapped Collina Strada for a colorful new capsule collaborative collection of bags. Lastly, LVMH has acquired yet another non-fashion-related brand, a clockwork label called L’Épée 1839 and Swiza.
Lupita Nyong’o Wears Prada To Her Movie Premiere
Actress Lupita Nyong’o made an appearance in New York City for the premiere of A Quiet Place: Day One in a sparkling off-the-shoulder sequined catsuit by Prada. The stunning look was styled by Micaela Erlanger. Her ensemble was playful for a red carpet event with a satin skirt in the middle. Erlanger added large dangling earrings from De Beers and a ring on each hand to accessorize. No necklace was in sight as her catsuit hardly needed another addition to stand out. A sleek pair of pointed-toe black heels completed the outfit seamlessly.

Collina Strada And Baggu Collaborate On A New Bag Collection
Collina Strada and Baggu have collaborated on a new 18-piece bag collection with AI-manipulated prints and bold and “trippy” imagery. Baggu’s functionality merged with Collina Strada’s genre-defiance has created a collection that pushes boundaries. The bags were directly from the Collina Strada print archives and feature a new silhouette titled the Horse Bag, which is a miniature-sized horse as a crossbody purse. Each bag is made with 59% recycled material as sustainability is an important aspect in creating for both brands.
The everyday-styled bags are all priced under $70 and available on baggu.com.
LVMH Acquires The Clockmaker L’Épée 1839
LVMH has acquired L’Épée 1839 And Swiza, its parent company. According to WWD, the chief executive officer of LVMH watches Frédéric Arnault thinks it’s a good move for watchmaking expansion. This isn’t the first time that the conglomerate has acquired a “left-field” related company. LVMH tends to be known only for luxury fashion however, luxury can touch many fields.
“L’Épée 1839 is at once a beautiful brand with a history that dates back to 1839, internationally recognized and by an audience of watchmaking enthusiasts, but most of all, it has a unique know-how,” Arnult tells WWD. “It is the only one to do what its teams do in the industry and has regrouped under one roof an impressive diversity of crafts.”
