So there's a lot going on - let's get started!

Because we are longing for summer again, the new collection comes fromDior Menprecisely. The Maison now has its buzzers Campaign 2025 and gives a foretaste of what we will wear when it finally - FINALLY - gets warmer again: straight silhouettes, knitwear with colorful motifs and prints as well as functional, stylish accessories. The ornate designs are inspired by ceramic craftsmanship and its sculptural curves and surfaces. Particularly exciting: new interpretations of the artist Hylton Nel's symbolic ceramic cats, which the models in the campaign hold in their hands (and better not let them fall).

The collection is complemented by outdoor wear with cool zodiac prints.

Now the two brands have teamed up again and...Cloudtilt 2.0Sneakers launched in different colors. It was introduced for the first time in May last year and has now received a functional upgrade.

It's not just Timberland and Cos who are using the Chinese New Year as an opportunity for a new special collection. Also the workwear brandDickieshas created a new collection in honor of the New Year that we'll be getting now and rocking for seasons to come. The collection was inspired by the Texas rattlesnake, in keeping with the Year of the Snake. This is reflected, among other things, in the dominant colors of the designs,Dawn BlackandMahogany Red, which take up the desert landscape of Texas, the home of the rattlesnake. The jackets, hoodies, shirts and trousers also capture the spirit of the snake and combine it with the style code of casual workwear from Dickies. Cool!
