The Olympic Games’ 2024 Bronze Medals Come Under Fire For Rusting

The 2024 Olympic Games are continuing into the new year—but not how you’d imagine! The ceremony’s bronze medals designed by Chaumet—a high jewelry brand owned by LVMH—have begun rusting, according to Page Six. Over 100 athletes who received the medals have requested replacements due to the incident, which an LVMH spokesperson told the New York Post Chaumet wasn’t responsible for. Though Chaumet designed last year’s medals, the pieces’ producers Monnaie de Paris have revealed their anti-oxidation varnish changed due to the European Union’s ban of chromium trioxide—which past medals were finished with to prevent rusting. Stay tuned if the athletes will receive replacements!

Is Daniel Lee Heading To Jil Sander!?

The latest rumored designer to change jobs: Daniel Lee! The Burberry creative director is reportedly shuffling to Jil Sander,  according to sources at Fashion Network USA. Current Sander co-creative directors Luke and Lucie Meier will show their final women’s collection during Milan Fashion Week in February, leaving their role open. However, parent company OTB Group’s owner, Renzo Rosso, has confirmed a “great star designer” will be taking their place—a statement that coincides with Burberry’s recent sales decline and appointment of new CEO Josh Shulman. The announcement follows 2024’s wave of designer “musical chairs” that’s continued into 2025, affecting brands from Uniqlo to Chanel.

Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2025 Show Will Include A Surprise Nigo Collab!

As Paris Fashion Week Men’s begins, Louis Vuitton has confirmed a collaboration with Nigo for its Fall 2025 menswear collection. As longtime fashion partners since 2003 through their creation of the Billionaire Boys Club and Icecream, creative director Pharrell Williams and Nigo are streetwear scene staples. Williams has hinted at their collab through Instagram, but the brand itself broke the news on Tuesday morning, according to sources. What can we expect from the collection? With both stars being top figures in the fashion world through Bape and their past LV collaborations, the stylish reunion will be one for the books—especially as PFW’s men’s shows begin, with new lines from Dior, Rick Owens, Hermes, Kenzo, Jacquemus, and more.
