The February 2022 Fashion News You Need To Catch Up On
Here’s the latest.
February is arguably the month of fashun. Designers across New York City and Europe show their collections for Fall/Winter 2022 while brands are launching their seasonal campaigns for the upcoming spring. If you haven’t tuned into all the fashion news for February 2022, don’t worry. TZR rounded up all the need-to-know info for your convenience, from the month’s buzziest campaigns to the coolest collaborations.
The ‘90s seem to be a running theme across multiple labels so far. Denim powerhouses like Jordache, for instance, enlisted supermodel Brooke Shields for its Spring/Summer 2022 campaign. (The internet loved this moment.) In the meantime, MOTHER dropped a limited-edition capsule collection filled with nostalgic denim pieces inspired by the ‘80s and ‘90s. As far as brand partnerships go, Jimmy Choo teamed up with Mugler to debut an eight-piece range of vampy, sexy footwear. On the other end of the accessories spectrum, Gentle Monster x Coperni released futuristic sunglasses. If you plan on traveling to Aspen for one more last-minute ski getaway, make sure to check out Chanel’s newly opened ephemeral boutique. (The pop-up store will stay open through April 2022.)

Givenchy Launches The Kenny Bag
After debuting on the runway and in Givenchy’s Spring/Summer 2022 campaign, the luxury house’s Kenny bag is finally here — and available to shop.

Williams, the versatile day-to-night Kenny features Givenchy's now-iconic padlock design as well as double G-Cube chain straps. The sleek and elegant purse is a nod to both the couture heritage of the fashion house and the fresh design visions Williams brings to Givenchy.

(The announcement comes just a few months after Evan Yurman assumed his new role as the company’s president, thus opening a new chapter for the Yurman family business.)
