After launching a collaboration with renowned contemporary artists on the iconic Capucines bag, Louis Vuitton is launching a temporary artist residency in NYC….

At the end of October, Louis Vuitton collaborated with six leading international contemporary artists to bring their distinctive visions to the house’s iconic Capucines bag. From reinterpreted sculptural works by artists Liu Wei and Zhao Zhao to reimagined paintings by Henry Taylor and Josh Smith, the six limited-edition designs are each a work of art in and of themselves. In a way, a bag that doubles as an art piece feels symbolic both of life at home, surrounding ourselves with beautiful objects, and of all the places we’re longing to safely venture out to, bag in hand.

Vogue’s “Last Look” in the November Issue featured a trio of Vuitton handbags from the range, including California-based artist Henry Taylor’s design which emblazons his portrait (A Young Master, 2017) of the late Noah Davis, an American artist and founder of Los Angeles’s Underground Museum. The portrait was transferred onto the handbag using 3D printing techniques, transforming the handbag into a textural bas-relief work of its own.

Tomorrow, Louis Vuitton opens a temporary artist residency in New York’s Soho neighborhood, featuring all six bags, including the Henry Taylor Artycapucines handbag-meets-art-piece, which will be available for purchase there. The temporary gallery comes at a time where it’s invigorating to spend an afternoon out of the house visiting with artwork, wearable or otherwise. 

The temporary artist residency will be at 122 Greene Street in New York City starting tomorrow, Friday, November 13th and running through January. Here, shop the limited edition bag below.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
