St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and fashion brand Staud have teamed up to create an exclusive resort accessories collection.

The capsule blends the modern, effortless novelty of Staud’s West Coast aesthetic with the legendary glamour of the St. Regis brand. The result is a four-piece collection including accessories crafted in raffia and embossed Italian calfskin, designed to transition seamlessly from sun-drenched mornings to champagne-filled evenings. 

The collection includes The Raffia Squillo Tote offering a spacious, effortless option for days spent by the water, while the Raffia Bucket Hat adds a playful yet polished touch to breezy afternoons.

Compelting the collection is the Raffia Moon Bag bringing refined elegance to moments like the signature St. Regis Afternoon Tea, and the Tommy Bag reimagined as a collector’s item featuring bespoke artwork inspired by St. Regis’ signature rituals.

“The idea of travel has always been a source of inspiration for me,” said Sarah ‘Staud’ Staudinger, CEO and founder of Staud. “St. Regis represents some of the most iconic destinations in the world, and together we’ve designed a collection that embodies that sense of adventure, indulgence, and style.”

The collection will make its debut through exclusive retail activations at The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort and The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, where select pieces will be presented in-suite for guests to explore in the privacy of their own wardrobes.

The collection will also be available online, at The St. Regis Boutique, and for a limited time at the Staud Soho store.

“Our guests seek pieces that are both effortless and elegant, designed for every moment of their journey,” said George Fleck, senior vice president and global brand leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. 

“Fashion has long been an essential element of travel, and this collaboration allows us to elevate the guest experience in a new way. With our guests at the heart of our vision, Staud for St. Regis has created something truly unique, an exclusive collection that reflects the essence of resort living, complementing the art of travel and embodying both brands’ distinctive approach to modern luxury.”

The House of Dior has created a fashion odyssey that will be the key installation inside the French Pavilion at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, which opens this Sunday.

Dior’s display is a blend of fine art, haute couture, sporting excellence, architecture, fragrances, original sketches, 3D printing and hundreds of toiles.

The Paris-based couture maison is very much on a full-court press in Japan. On Tuesday, it stages its fall women’s ready-to-wear collection in the historic city of Kyoto. Today, it released its latest campaign, where the house’s couturier, Maria Grazia Chiuri, is inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun. Seen in a series of graceful, poetic shots by Yuriko Takagi, a faithful collaborator of the house, the campaign features a fusion of Japanese savoir-faire and French couture through designs that revisit the traditional kimono jacket, with its ample and enveloping lines adorned by an enchanting garden sketched on silk.

In Osaka, Dior’s installation is organized around the theme of “Hymne à l’amour,” in a tribute to the fervor for craftsmanship and handmade work, reflecting the excellence of Parisian haute couture.

A plural homage to the beauty produced by gestures, embodied alternately by a Rodin sculpture, the timeless Bar suit – a symbol of Dior elegance presented in three variations: blue, white and red – and by the legendary “Amphores Tricolores” designed by Christian Dior in 1949 and reissued for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Echoing the first vocation of Christian Dior, who aspired to become an architect before turning to couture, is the Lady Dior bag reinterpreted by Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima for the “Lady Dior – As Seen By” project in 2024.

Back in Paris, Sejima’s best-known building is the futurist glass structure that ripples along the Rue de Rivoli, acting as the entrance to the Art Nouveau La Samaritaine department store, which is controlled by luxury conglomerate LVMH, the owner of Dior.

Turning to fashion, precious three-dimensional expressions of original sketches and more than 400 emblematic white toiles—presented on different scales—are spotlighted at the heart of a monumental installation. All are placed alongside bottles of iconic Dior fragrances, reinterpreted through 3D printing. In the center, Dior models come to life in poetic images created by Japanese artist Yuriko Takagi.

The installation features a dreamlike choreography punctuated by the works of Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, who revisited the iconic Medallion chair in 2021.
