Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Azerbaijan 2025: DAY 1

The daily program of MBFW Azerbaijan began with live music performances: pop singer Elnur Huseynov opened the first day. The following designers presented their collections: Geotrend, Jemma Russo, Lali, Velibeyli, and Viktoria Varga.

The American artist steps in as the house’s newest ambassador, bringing her magnetic energy into Anderson’s evolving Dior universe.

If you’re looking to update your closet with elegant, structural statement handbags, look no further than Givenchy’s latest offerings. With a fresh creative chapter underway, the French house is delivering bags that feel both modern and timeless — equally suited for high-profile engagements or elevated everyday wear.

In a world devoted to the predictable, this editorial emerges as a manifesto for reinvention. Here, fashion and design abandon the comfort of convention and become a living laboratory: forms unfolding in unexpected directions, techniques that break tradition, textures that reprogram the gaze.

“Our Pre-Spring 26 collection is a study in structure, movement, and craftsmanship. The latest styles explore the interplay of soft and defined forms, highlighting every curve and contour. Embodying an artisanal approach to construction, each piece is crafted to move with the rhythm of daily life” - Mireia Llusia-Lindh, Founder & Creative Director.

Je ne sais quoi. Otherworldly. Lavish blends evocative of many lifetimes. This is how Azzi Glasser describes the scent that greets visitors to her North London atelier, what Orlando Bloom calls "being transported into a scent time bubble." It's fitting that the woman who has spent over two decades crafting olfactory narratives for Hollywood's finest would inhabit a space that itself tells stories through smell.

One of the most sophisticated and moving recent trends in travel and leisure is associated with the so-called luxury nomads. People choose destinations that have been transformed from degraded or endangered areas into eco-paradise-like resorts. When you arrive there, you realize that part of your payment will be used to preserve endangered species and restore the environment. This is a new standard of luxury with great potential, because it offers something special – it not only allows you to enjoy and blend in with nature, but also encourages you to become more sensitive and benevolent.

There is something sacred in the moment the year ends — that quiet fissure between who we were and who we still dare to become. In this editorial signed by Diego Alvarenga for L’Officiel Baltic, the body wears metaphors: liquid silver, sharp reflections, glimmers born from the friction between ending and beginning.
