The Paseo bag by Loewe

Spanish fashion house Loewe has released its latest handbag, the Paseo, inspired by the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez, Spain.

Loewe's legendary leather craftsmanship is the result of 165 years of artisan practice, and now the Spanish house is set to launch their latest labor of love, the Paseo bag. After visiting the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, a prominent European horsemanship academy and home to the distinguished Andalusian breed, creative director Stuart Vevers drew inspiration from equestrianism for this mid-sized bag, whose adjustable strap recalls a horse's bridle and reigns. Fashioned from soft buffalo leather with a suede lining, the Paseo is available in a sophisticated palette of cream, beige, black and navy blue. In stores now.

Buckingham Palace To Stage Catwalk Show

  

 A CATWALK will be built in the gardens of Buckingham Palace next year, as part of the four-day Coronation Festival - which will celebrate the 60^th anniversary of the Queen's coronation. The catwalk, which will be available for public viewing, will showcase the products of royal warrant holders - companies and businesses that have supplied goods or services to Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales for five years or more.

The display will be an eclectic one - featuring brands such as Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes and Dege & Skinner, alongside Hunter wellingtons, Milborrow chimney sweeps and the bespoke Tom Smith Christmas crackers bought by the Queen for celebrations at Sandringham, reports The Evening Standard. The event, which will take place between July 11 and July 14 - will serve as a candid insight into the products the royal family use and love.

Tickets, which start at £30, will go on sale on Sunday at coronationfestival.com

Topshop Makes Its Hong Kong Debut

TOPSHOP will open its first Hong Kong shop next year, in partnership with department store Lane Crawford. The move marks the first time that the British high street brand has had a strong presence in Asia.

"I am delighted to be launching Topshop in Hong Kong in 2013 with Lane Crawford as our chosen partner," said Topshop boss Sir Philip Green. "Their team's expertise in the Chinese market is invaluable to us."

The store, which will be located within Asia Standard Tower, will cover 12,000 square foot over two floors. The space will house the chain's women's ready-to-wear, accessories, a shoe lounge, make-up line and a personal shopping area. Topshop currently operates in 39 countries, including Australia, the US, Brazil and South Africa.

"This is certainly a very exciting step in the continued growth of Topshop as a global, yet uniquely British, brand," said Green. "I am confident that the fashion-loving Hong Kong customers will enjoy the retail experience and fantastic product offer that Topshop will deliver for them."

Opening to the Centrefold

The eighth edition of cult U.K. magazine Centrefold landed on our desk today, and we think the issue, which celebrates Storm Model Management’s 25th anniversary via provocative editorials with supermodel clients like Cindy Crawford, Style.com/Print cover girl Cara Delevingne, Lily Cole, Alec Wek and Jourdan Dunn, is worth a look. Of course, it was Kate Moss’ raw cover shoot with Venetia Scott that first caught our eye. But from thick, finger-pleasing paper stock to smart layouts on oversized pages, the latest from Centrefold is yet another reminder that print is alive and well.

Giorgio Armani and Sean Penn team up for charity campaign

Italian designer Giorgio Armani and Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn wappear together in a print campaign to highlight Penn's Haitian Relief Organization.
He's usually the man behind the campaign images, but for a very special cause Giorgio Armani is stepping in front of the camera to become the star.
The septuagenarian Italian designer has teamed up with actor Sean Penn and his J/P Haitian Relief Organization to pose for a charity campaign that will unveiled globally later this month in select newspapers, reports WWD .
In the ad, both Armani and Penn can be seen looking dapper in tuxedos (Armani, we assume) against the backdrop of Cannes, where the picture was taken during the annual film festival.

The pair hosted a fundraising dinner in the French town back in May that raised $2 million for the foundation, which Penn founded in 2010 after the country was hit by a devastating earthquake. Together they launched a year-long humanitarian collaboration, which the new campaign is part of.
