The capsule features updated versions of the Boston, Arizona, and Florida, each shaped by symbolic references tied to the season. The Florida sandal arrives in a deep Zinfandel red high-shine leather with golden D-buckles, a color traditionally associated with luck and prosperity, while the Boston draws inspiration from the Fire Horse through a taupe suede base finished with a textured black hair-on-hide strap that channels strength and movement.</div><p>Cloud motifs, representing harmony and good fortune, appear across the collection through subtle gold foil detailing on select Boston and Arizona styles, paired with semi-matte leather uppers in black and vanilla and half-exquisite leather-lined footbeds. Velvet editions in black and rust red with oversized gold buckles round out the release, offering a more elevated take on the classics. The limited-edition pairs are available in the Philippines at Birkenstock SM Mall of Asia, GH Mall, and Lucky Chinatown Mall.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Dior: Poetic Prints and Symbols of Luck </strong><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17712193957437.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></strong>For Lunar New Year, Dior unveils a festive selection by Jonathan Anderson shaped around symbols of luck, nature, and renewal. A poetic reinterpretation of toile de Jouy takes center stage, now scattered with four-leaf clovers and appearing across the Lady Dior and Dior Book Tote, as well as silk scarves and Mitzahs. The Dior Clover Garden motif extends into ready-to-wear, adorning skirts, jackets, denim, shirts, and sneakers with a relaxed yet polished sensibility.</div><p>Honoring the Year of the Horse, the collection introduces a dynamic Horse print alongside horseshoe details that appear as jewelry and charms, carrying associations of good fortune. The Dior Toujours and Lady Dior are reimagined in soft pink, a color closely tied to joy and femininity in the house’s history, completing a lineup of pieces that reflect the season through expressive prints and nature-inspired design.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Bvlgari: Jewels and Icons in Festive Hues </strong><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17712194092268.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></strong>Bvlgari welcomes the Chinese New Year with a festive selection that reflects renewal, vitality, and forward momentum in honor of the Year of the Horse. Across jewelry, watches, accessories, and fragrances, the Roman house presents exclusive creations shaped by symbolic motifs and auspicious hues. At the center is a Special Edition Horse Brooch in yellow gold, inspired by a 1970s heritage design and set with cabochon rubies, pavé diamonds, and black onyx, crafted as a talisman of strength and success for the year ahead.</div><p>Signature lines also take on a celebratory glow. Serpenti Viper introduces ruby accents set in rose gold, while the Serpenti Pallini necklace features diamond and ruby details with black onyx eyes. In timepieces, the Serpenti Seduttori Automatic appears in a limited edition with a ruby-red guilloché dial. The collection extends into accessories with the Serpenti Cuore 1968 bag in Light Amethyst leather and the smaller Serpenti Cuoricino in Royal Ruby and Dusty Pink. A dedicated fragrance gift box in festive red completes the offering, bringing together Bvlgari’s icons through a lens of tradition, craftsmanship, and celebration.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>CELINE: A Wishing Tree Comes to Life</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17712194218259.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></strong>For the Chinese New Year 2026 collection, CELINE presents a visual story shaped by the folk tradition of wishing trees. Set within a scenic Chinese landscape, a towering evergreen is adorned with thousands of CELINE scarves and ribbons, symbolizing hope, renewal, and celebration as the Year of the Horse begins. The campaign image, captured by Kin Chan Coedel, draws on festive rituals and cultural symbolism to frame the collection’s seasonal spirit.</div><p>The narrative continues through a series of fashion photographs by Zhong Lin, featuring a dynamic cast that brings the collection to life. Together, the images highlight CELINE’s interpretation of the occasion through expressive styling and vibrant energy, marking the arrival of the new year with a blend of tradition and modernity.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Fauré Le Page: Armed for Luck in the Year of the Horse </strong><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17712194372456.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></strong><br/></div><p>Fauré Le Page enters the new year with a collection shaped by movement, intention, and the idea of carrying luck forward. For the first time, the Ladies First flap bag appears in auspicious red, combining Parisian femininity with utility through embroidered leather armor and signature hardware. Structured yet curved, it moves easily through the day while holding essentials with quiet confidence.</p><p>The collection also introduces Lucky U, a reinterpretation of the Maison’s Scale Canvas featuring a graphic horse hoof motif in black and grey with flashes of red. The design appears across recognizable silhouettes including the Daily Battle totes, Pochette Zip, and Etendard wallets, released in limited and numbered editions for collectors and loyalists. Rooted in the Maison’s identity of being “Armed for Seduction,” references to armor and regalia are softened through precise leatherwork and refined finishes. Fauré Le Page is available at Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center Malls, Makati City.</p>
