Craft Meets Creativity in Louis Vuitton's Latest Gem Drop
Together, they explore a transition from precise craftsmanship to imaginative freedom, expressed through the maison's signature design codes.
The World of Mastery opens the collection with Savoir, centred around a striking triangle-cut 30.56-carat Australian black opal necklace, complemented by a 28.01-carat emerald drop. This theme includes earrings, a ring, and a bracelet.
Following Savoir, themes such as Protection, Keeper, Maestria, Monumental, and Apogée explore ideas of knowledge, guardianship, and expert craftsmanship, showcasing rare gemstones like rubies, sapphires, alexandrite, and a remarkable 30.75-carat Brazilian emerald.
A transitional chapter titled Connection shifts the mood from mastery to imagination. Diamond-set rope motifs and luminous pearls bridge the gap between technique and artistic vision.
In The World of Creativity, fluid design and expressive form take hold. The Motion series channels movement through wave-like compositions of sapphires and diamonds, including a notable 35.68-carat Sri Lankan sapphire.
Florescence introduces modular necklaces adorned with tourmalines and diamonds. Meanwhile, Joy brings together multi-hued sapphires and tourmalines in vibrant yellow gold settings.
One of the most playful expressions, Aura, reimagines the LV Monogram flower using pink-toned tourmalines and incorporates pieces such as a convertible necklace, a watch, and even a belt.
The collection culminates in Eternal Sun, a remarkable necklace composed of 46.13 carats of yellow diamonds sourced over seven years. Its centrepiece is a 14-carat round yellow diamond, accompanied by a 3.88-carat LV Monogram Star cut diamond, and can be worn six different ways.
Throughout Virtuosity, recurring motifs like Damier patterns, chevrons, kite shapes, and the LV Monogram star and flower cuts provide a cohesive thread. The collection tells a story of evolution—from meticulous craftsmanship to liberated artistic expression—reflecting Louis Vuitton's ongoing journey in design and identity.

Jackson Wang to bring magic to Malaysia
JACKSON Wang will be performing in Kuala Lumpur on October 25 as part of his newly announced Magicman 2 World Tour 2025-2026 - his second solo headlining tour. Wang will kick off his tour in Bangkok and make appearances in cities across region, including Macau, Jakarta, Manila and Tokyo. The announcement follows the release of Jackson's latest album, Magicman 2, which made a historic debut at #13 on the Billboard 200 — the highest-charting debut by a Chinese artiste in the chart's history. Released globally on July 18, the album cements Jackson as the first Chinese artiste to chart two consecutive albums in the Billboard 200 Top 15, following the success of his 2022 album Magicman (#15). Told in four chapters, Magicman 2 explores themes of chaos, illusion, self-reflection and healing — tracing Jackson's inner journey with raw honesty and cinematic vision. Wang explained: 'Magicman 2 — like I have said many times — is not just a concept. It is not based on an idea or inspiration. It is 100% real. It is my story. A reflection of how I see society, humanity and reality. How I felt, how I faced my darkest days... and how I made it out. 'It is about acceptance. About choosing to keep going and evolving into a more grounded, more honest, more mature version of myself. I felt the need to share this with you — because I believe we all have a 'Magicman' inside of us. That hidden side we do not fully understand, but cannot stop thinking about. The part of us we fear... but also want to face. 'On the Magicman 2 World Tour, this is not just a concert. This is an experience. I want to bring you into my world. Right into the heart of the story — no filters, no masks. Like a movie playing out in front of your eyes. We dive in together. This is Magicman 2. Welcome to the journey.' Jackson's 2023 Magicman World Tour sold out across the globe and his performance at the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival made history as the first-ever Chinese solo artiste to perform at the festival three times, with his set trending #1 worldwide on X. Across social media platforms, Jackson boasts over 100 million followers, making him the most-followed artiste in China on Instagram. In addition to his success as a solo artiste, Jackson was recently named creative director for Nike and Jordan. He also serves as a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Cartier and Hennessy.

How to make it in India? A New Delhi fashion designer just showed the world how
In June, Kartik Kumra was confronted, for the first time in his life, with a scrum of reporters. His brand, Kartik Research, had just made its runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, showcasing a collection of soft-edged clothing infused with the visual language of India. A pair of beige hand-spun pleated linen pants were spruced up with floral embroidery swirling around the ankle of one leg. And a black blazer was transformed with a flash of gold Banarasi silk peeking through the lapel. It just so happened that Kumra's show had taken place in the middle of a season in which India seemed to be on the mood board of the luxury fashion world. Prada sent models down its menswear runway in footwear that closely resembled Kolhapuri sandals. A few days later, at the Louis Vuitton menswear show, the brand's creative director, Pharrell Williams, re-created the ancient Indian game of Snakes and Ladders as a set for his show. Read more: Made in India next? Will Prada's 'sandal scandal' spark real change? After Kumra's show ended, the assembled reporters peppered him with questions. 'What did you think of the LV show?' he recalled them asking during a recent interview. 'What about the Prada show?' It became abundantly clear to Kumra, 25, that India's sartorial choices were being repackaged as trendy. And that his brand had found itself at the centre of that moment. Even having a presence at fashion week, alongside what he called 'the big guys', was once unthinkable for Kumra, who started his brand four years ago in his college dorm room as he studied economics at the University of Pennsylvania. At that time, he had no experience in fashion or design. But his brand's ability to reframe Indian crafts in the context of Western fashion has attracted a loyal – or, as Kumra described it, 'sticky' – following and prepared him for the mainstream spotlight. His work has been seen on Kendrick Lamar, Stephen Curry, Brad Pitt, Riz Ahmed, Lewis Hamilton and Paul Mescal. When the brand released a limited run of embroidered Converse sneakers in May, the shoes sold out almost immediately. In 2023, Kumra's brand was a semifinalist for the coveted LVMH Prize for "Young Fashion Designers". Kartik Research is now stocked in 70 locations around the world, including Mr Porter and Selfridges. Next spring, it will arrive at Harrods in London. Kartik Kumra is pictured here walking the runway at the end of his Paris Fashion Week debut show. Photo: Instagram/Kartik Research Kumra will also introduce a line of womenswear at Bergdorf Goodman in March. 'Next season, India is not going to be the reference for them,' he said, referring to companies like Prada and Louis Vuitton. 'But this is our thing. We built a business on it and we're going to keep doing it.' A few weeks after his show in Paris, at the brand's new brick-and-mortar store in the busy Dimes Square neighbourhood in New York City, Kumra was manning the floor. In one corner stood a classic Indian straw daybed. On the wall, there was a painting of Hindu mythology. A live cricket match – India versus England – was streaming on his laptop. A single rack of clothes ran the length of the store. Each garment had made its way through an 'independent universe of small makers', Kumra said. 'The real experts – the master embroiderers, weavers, printers.' Their work isn't scalable, nor can you find their phone numbers online. To work with them requires building on-the-ground relationships. A white shirt on the rack, for example, was handmade by a man in the state of Gujarat, using what is known as bhujodi weaving. That weaver noticed, during one of Kumra's visits to his workshop, that Kumra was wearing handloom denim pants. 'He was like, 'Oh, let me connect you to my handloom denim guys,'' Kumra said. 'And I went and visited them – they were a couple hours away – and now they make our denim pants.' Piece by piece, Kumra has built a network of artisans who aren't easily accessible. That gives Kumra a leg up on brands that parachute in and wax poetic about Indian craft for a season or two, said Julie Ragolia, a New York-based stylist and consultant who became a mentor to Kumra through a programme called Mr Porter Futures. Kumra, who grew up in New Delhi, had a fervent interest in fashion and streetwear as a consumer long before conceiving Kartik Research. Through college and high school, he would resell sneakers. He admired the work of Dries Van Noten, and he was, like so many teenagers, a Supreme enthusiast. He also enjoyed sketching and doodling. When Covid-19 shuttered universities in 2020, Kumra, who had an internship in finance lined up, decided instead to spend his free time in New Delhi putting together a business plan. His mother shuttled him around the country to meet with artisans. Some of the money he earned from reselling sneakers – roughly US$5,000 (approximately RM21,100) – became the startup capital for what was then Karu MFG – 'karu' is the Sanskrit word for 'artisan', and 'MFG' is short for 'manufacturing'. He cold-called factories and found one, on the brink of closing as a result of the pandemic, that agreed to create 22 garments for him. 'The look book cost 1,000 bucks (RM4,220) – a friend shot it, and we got models for 200 bucks (RM844),' he said. 'The location was free, it was 10 minutes away from my house.' Read more: What to know about the Prada 'sandal scandal' and India's Kolhapuri comeback Kumra then jumped into the Discord channel of Throwing Fits , a podcast for menswear enthusiasts, to share his designs and solicit feedback. 'I was just really blown away – this young guy was a fan of us, but when we saw his work we were becoming a fan of him,' said one of the podcast's hosts, Lawrence Schlossman. 'I actually remember my first piece of feedback was just like drop the MFG.' By the time Kumra returned to Philadelphia to finish his degree in 2022, he was running a full-blown business. A stylist messaged him one night about one of his cardigans: 'Yo, Kendrick's wearing it.' As in the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper. That was the first time, in Kumra's recollection, that his friends realised he wasn't lying about having started a brand. As he builds Kartik Research, Kumra is not taking a salary. His mother still helps out, working on the finance and accounting side. It was just in the last year that Kumra hired two designers. In a cheeky acknowledgment of the heightened interest and momentum around Indian fashion, Kumra's own inspirations, and how, he said, work from there could one day be considered 'globally aspirational', the Kartik Research show in Paris in June was accompanied with a look book. Its title? 'How to Make It in India.' – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
