19 Things On Our Editor’s Radar This Week
What caught my attention
If there’s one thing I love about my job (and yes, what also keeps me awake some nights), it’s my inbox. It’s where the early whispers of new launches land – the unexpected, the beautifully considered, and the things that stop me mid-scroll. Here’s a look inside – the fashion news that’s caught my eye this week.
Albus Lumen x DOTSHOP
DOTSHOP’s new partnership with Albus Lumen just dropped into my inbox, along with Marina Afonina’s Resort ’26 collection, AMOR. It feels nostalgic in that unmistakably Albus way — calm, refined, and built around pieces you just know will live in your wardrobe for years.
Acne Studios at Camargue
Camargue has new-season Acne Studios, and a few pieces immediately caught my eye for party season: the Multipocket Micro Crossbody in metallic finishes, the Layered Logo T-shirt with its tinsel-style embroidery, and the Loose Fit Jeans 1981 with a crystal-and-bow trompe-l’œil print and a relaxed, unisex silhouette.
Chinatown Country Club
Chinatown Country Club has released a holiday gift edit that’s genuinely useful — thoughtful, slightly unexpected pieces that feel considered without being overdone. A solid option for anyone who’s impossible to buy for.
Courtney Zheng’s MONOLITH
Courtney Zheng does structure better than most, and MONOLITH leans into it beautifully — sharp lines, considered fabrics, and silhouettes that feel polished without the rigidity. It’s the kind of collection that quietly raises the bar. Consider me influenced.
ESSE Studios x TheEND
ESSE Studios collaborating with TheEND just makes sense. TheEND has that sculptural, intentional feel I’ve always loved, and ESSE brings the same quiet clarity to clothing. Together, these pieces and objects belong together.
Heidi Middleton’s ARTCLUB
ARTCLUB on James Street feels like a beautiful addition — thoughtful, expressive pieces with that unmistakable Heidi Middleton touch, all presented in a space that matches her calm, artful energy.
Introducing Tohen
A new name worth noting: Tohen. It’s minimal, modern, and considered, with simple silhouettes and fabrics that feel as good as they look. Fresh on the scene, but it fits seamlessly into an everyday wardrobe.
Jac + Jack x Gwinganna
Gwinganna has teamed up with Jac + Jack and Subtle Energies for A Gift of Wellness. A curated fashion edit from Jac + Jack sits alongside Gwinganna’s slow-living retreat experience, with Subtle Energies bringing their aromatic oils and skincare rituals into the mix. A thoughtful take on Australian style and wellbeing.
Jimmy Choo Bridal
There’s something lovely about Jimmy Choo’s bridal edit — clean satin, a hint of shine, and silhouettes that make everything feel a little more considered. Perfect for brides, guests, or anyone who loves a moment.
Kate & Kole Gold Coast Residency
Marking ten years, Kate & Kole hosted their first Gold Coast residency in a suite at the Mondrian, presenting their new DECÉA collection in a soft, understated setting. Maison Essentiele showcased their bridal edit, bringing an intimate tone to the space. The evening felt immersive and intentional, a blend of fashion and jewellery done beautifully.
Ksubi Pre-Spring ‘26
Ksubi’s Pre-Spring ’26 drop is full of that going-out energy — cutouts, crystal touches, and denim with a bit of attitude. Kswim, their swimwear collection, slots in with the same confident mood, bringing swimwear with the brand’s unmistakable edge. It all feels playful and bold in that effortless Pip Edwards way.
Luv Lou x Ash Holmes
Luv Lou’s collab with Ash Holmes nails that Northern Beaches ease — soft light, salt in the air, and Ash’s signature artistic touch. The frames are flattering, unfussy, and full of quiet personality.
Nagnata Sundown Swim
Nagnata’s Sundown Swim capsule is exactly what I want for real life — swim that works for a beach dip, a workout, or anything in between. Sculpted, supportive, and easy. No overthinking required.
Permanent Vacation’s Aura
Permanent Vacation took their Aura collection to New York, and the imagery is beautiful — soft shapes, clean lines, and that mix of city grit and minimal styling that makes you want to streamline your wardrobe immediately.
REBE Returns
REBE has brought back The Yvie Wedge in Plum Brown, and it’s one of those shoes you don’t realise you need until you see how easily it works with everything. It looks intentional without you having to overthink it — my favourite kind of staple.
St Agni x Vermeer Studio
St Agni x Vermeer Studio delivers modern, restrained jewellery with a quietly luxurious feel. Raw materials, refined finishes, and pieces that sit perfectly with Resort ’26. Sculptural, soft, and easy to wear.
Summi Summi Resort ‘26
La Palma brings Summi Summi’s soft, escape-ready mood — breezy shapes, warm tones, and pieces that slip on easily. Simple, relaxed, and very holiday-coded.
The Louboutin Bar
David Jones Elizabeth Street has opened a Louboutin-themed bar and it’s exactly the kind of indulgence you’d expect — cocktails, Lune pastries, a hint of red-soled drama, and the unapologetic joy of champagne at 11am. It’s playful, a little theatrical, and a reminder that fashion can lean into fantasy every now and then.
With Jéan’s Astéri
Astéri leans into a more refined With Jéan — longer hems, relaxed knits, and clean tailoring that still feels effortless. Polished, comfortable, and very easy to wear.
