1. Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton presents a series of one-off accessories, from a range of scarves and necklaces to key rings. Many items take on the traditional red and gold New Year colour scheme, but there’s also a touch of bunny brown and pink thrown in for good measure.
For the Precious Rabbit LV Essential scarf, the fashion house’s iconic monogram is as classic as ever, but an embroidered leather bunny patch is the finishing touch that makes this accessory look cute, cheerful and delicate.
2. Dior
Dior Men’s artistic director Kim Jones and guest designer Eli Russell Linnetz continue the conversation they initiated at the Dior spring 2023 men’s show.
The collection features playful white rabbit patches on shirts and shorts, as well as on shirt jackets and jumpers. The look is festive, thanks to all the red, and this is one of the more fun and vibrant new year collections.
