The Internet's New 'It Bag' Is From A Secret High Street Brand - And Under £100
Calla Tote Bag in Dark Moss I'll admit it: I have a social media addiction, and I've got the screen time and ever-expanding closet to prove it. While that's not always great news for my bank account, it does mean that I can tap into trending items before they inevitably sell out. To wit, COS' cotton trousers – a spring essential whose eventual popularity landed it on the Lyst Index as one of the hottest products of Q1. And right now, I feel another trend brewing: a high street tote that's dominating influencer accounts and is destined to sell out at record speed. The Charles & Keith Calla tote bag, to be precise. Now this isn't the first time the Singaporean brand's accessories have landed on our radar. It's slouchy tote bag, with its sleek design and 'wear-anywhere' appeal was a common sight at Grazia HQ last winter. The Calla tote sticks to the versatile brief with its roomy construction and smooth leather, but with a more sculptural silhouette that adds a high fashion slant. Calla Tote Bag in Oat Much like the fashion editor-favourite Khaite Lotus bag, the Calla offers a structured silhouette that's still soft enough to sculpt to your body for a comfortable fit. Knotted arm straps and a detachable pouch add the perfect elegant yet functional finishing touches. The large tote also doesn't shy away from purpose. It's big enough to comfortably store your laptop, lunch, make-up and all those miscellaneous trinkets you're convinced you absolutely need through the day. Of course, as a fashion writer, I'm always more invested in the aesthetics and the fact is that the Calla tote is the kind of accessory that effortlessly elevates any outfit you wear it with. No matter if you style it with your classic trousers and button-downs for the office or use it to lug around your straw hat, sunscreen and Stanley on holidays, the structured tote is simply chic. Despite hitting all the right notes required for Instagram fame, the Calla tote possesses a minimalist yet statement-making design that is classic enough to achieve timeless popularity off-screen as well. No wonder then, that its black iteration is already sold out, but you can still shop the oat, toffee and dark moss colourways, each of which is a guaranteed compliment magnet at only £99.

Jonathan Anderson will lead fashion at Dior
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Jonathan Anderson has been appointed creative director of women's, men's and haute couture at LVMH-owned Dior, according to a Monday press release. Anderson succeeds Maria Grazia Chiuri, who exited her role as creative director for Christian Dior Haute Couture and Dior Women last week following her final couture show in Rome. Anderson, formerly creative director of LVMH-owned Loewe, was appointed artistic director of Dior Men in May. This is the first time all three Dior collections will be under a single creative vision since the house's founder, Christian Dior, helmed the combined roles, per the release. Anderson's combined role at Dior signals a major vote of confidence regarding his ability to recreate the success he brought to Loewe. The brand sponsored last year's Met Gala and ranked consistently high on the Lyst Index, during Anderson's tenure, and he was named one of Time Magazine's most influential people in 2024. 'Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation,' Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, said in the release. 'His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior.' Anderson will present his first collection, for Dior Men, in Paris on June 27. In the release, Anderson thanked Christian Dior Couture's chairman and CEO of Delphine Arnault, as well as LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, 'for their trust and loyalty over the years,' and said it was an honor to join the company in the combined role. 'I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy,' Anderson said. 'I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.' Prior to joining Loewe, Anderson was focused on his namesake JW Anderson label, founded in 2008. LVMH acquired a minority stake in 2013 — the same year Anderson became Loewe's creative director. 'I have followed [Anderson's] career with great interest since he joined the LVMH group over ten years ago,' Delphine Arnault said in the release. 'I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our House, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created.' So far this year, the fashion industry has seen more than a dozen creative director changes, including last month's appointment of Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga. This is the fourth creative director appointment within the past year at LVMH. In March, the company appointed former Proenza Schouler duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez as joint creative directors at Loewe following Anderson's departure. Last year, Michael Rider took over Celine from Hedi Slimane in October, and Sarah Burton nabbed the top artistic spot at Givenchy in September, following the January exit of Matthew M. Williams. LVMH revenue has lagged against a backdrop of tariff uncertainty and a widespread luxury slowdown. First quarter revenue, reported in April, was down 2% to 20.3 billion euros, or about $23 billion at the time. Fashion and leather goods, the company's largest division, fell 4% to 10.1 billion euros. The company doesn't break down revenue by brand, but when LVMH took full control of Christian Dior in 2017, the deal was valued at $13 billion. Recommended Reading LVMH names 3 new CEOs

Puma steers the style conversation with a bold new Speedcat colourway
Originally designed for Formula 1 drivers in 1999, the Puma Speedcat is a bold symbol of self-expression, capturing a spirit of freedom and unpredictability. It was brought back from the Puma archive for its 25th anniversary, rewriting the legacy of this motorsport-inspired style for a new generation. The reimagined Puma Speedcat was introduced in the summer of 2024 with immediate celebrity co-signs — think Grammy award winner Dua Lipa and K-pop sensation Rosé — and sell-out appeal. By October last year it was named the hottest sneaker on the Lyst Index, the quarterly ranking of the hottest brands and products based on shopper behaviour, including searches, product views, social media mentions and sales.

Photo: @miumiu Instagram With the first quarter of 2025 officially behind us, the fashion girls have spoken, and the algorithm has listened; the Lyst Index 2025 has officially unveiled the most coveted fashion brands of Q1. This season, the spotlight shifted away from structured, tailored pieces and leaned toward versatile and comfort-first designs. With memorable returnees like Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu, to the fashion moments that topped the TikTok algorithm and the unapologetic viral ballerina flats too, the Lyst Index shows what exactly everyone has been raving about. Keeping you in the know and ahead of the crowd in the GCC, GRAZIA breaks down the top fashion brands that ruled the first quarter and the pieces that are firmly on our wishlist. Loewe LOEWE TOMATO CLUTCH IN NAPPA LAMPSKIN DHS13,850 SHOP NOW Taking the spot as the most popular brand of the first quarter is Loewe. Naturally known for its artisanal craftsmanship and flair for virality, it's no surprise that its standout pieces dominated the field, especially with its former creative director, Johnathan Anderson, drawing up his final SS2025 collection. An inevitable spot, the Loewe Tomato clutch meme that lived rent-free in everyone's heads is officially here, launched with the Loewe Paula's Ibiza summer 2025 collection Miu Miu MIU MIU SUEDE HANDBAG WITH TASSLES IN OAK DHS9,000 SHOP NOW An unapologetic returnee, Miu Miu is a powerful force in its own right. The Italian Maison consistently demonstrates that its blend of femininity and strength is what keeps it at the forefront of the zeitgeist, much like its soft brown suede bag, which features a triangular silhouette elevated with tassel detailing complete with its iconic lettered logo embossed on the lambskin leather. Saint Laurent SAINT LAURENT LOULOU SLINGBACK PUMPS IN PATENT LEATER IN OIL GREEN & VERT DHS25,000 SHOP NOW In Q1, Saint Laurent returns to its spot within the top three brands. Being at the forefront, the Maison's sleek tailoring and bold accessories remain a fan-favourite amongst the fashion community. Much like its slingback, LouLou pumps in green featuring an elongated gold-plated pointed toe. Coach COACH BROOKLYN SHOULDER BAG 28 DHS1,650 SHOP NOW It's no feat that the It-girl brand, Coach, would climb the ladder as one the hottest brands in the first quarter. From launching its FW2025 collection In New York City's Upper East Side to its slew of appearances donned by the likes of Palestinian-Dutch model Bella Hadid, Coach's style, whether in the form of structured bags or classic slingbacks, the brand's grasp amongst the fashion girls continues to reign. Prada PRADA OSTRICH LEATHER MULES IN BLACK DHS10,000 SHOP NOW Time and time again, Prada's penchant for being untraditional reigns supreme. As a renowned luxury name, the brand consistently delivers exquisite craftsmanship. Needless to say, whether it's tailored pieces or accessories like the ostrich leather mules ( adding to cart ), it perfectly showcases the brand's undeniable signature for details and comfort. Cos COS BARREL LEG TROUSERS IN GREEN DHS445 SHOP NOW Seen on and off the runway, the barrel silhouette has been a fashion favourite for the last couple of seasons. And while many gravitate to denim for its structured appeal, COS' barrel-leg trousers in lightweight cotton have emerged as the go-to for its voluminous, airy detail and relaxed fit. Bottega Veneta BOTTEGA VENETA NOT CAT EYE SUNGLASSES IN HAVANA, GOLD, AND BROWN DHS 2,775 SHOP NOW A true favourite amongst unapologetic women, Bottega Veneta, as always, exudes its cool energy. Away from the usual and leaning more into modern design, these classic cat eye sunnies, which feature the brand's knot motif in gold, prove that the brand's play with various elements will always be sought-after. The Row THE ROW MARLO 17 LEATHER BAG IN DEEP BROWN DHS 26,168 SHOP NOW While the Margaux bag will forever remain a staple, there's a new 'it' bag in town, and it comes with a soft structure and silhouette. Enter the Marlo, the brand's latest addition to its must-haves which features tubular handles, a gusseted design for unrestrained movement, and a silvery zipped closer. The Marlo, the brainchild of the Olsen twins, is unsurprising that they, and the bag, would break the internet. Chloé CHLOÉ HIGH-RISE LEATHER SHORTS IN FADED MAHOGANY DHS11,125 SHOP NOW Chloé is back, and she's softer and better than ever. Making its debut on the hottest products and brands (rightfully so), the French Maison's return signals that fashion is back to being on its soft side. Chloé's bohemian codes show softness can manifest in pleats and gathered leather shorts. The must-have piece? It's this high-rise short in a rich mahogany colourway. Alaia ALAIA LAMBSKIN LEATHER BALLET FLATS WITH FISHNET DETAILING IN MIDNIGHT BLUE DHS3,286 SHOP NOW Ballet flats have consistently remained a staple in everyone's wardrobe. With brands adding their gusto element to the shoe silhouette only one, Alaïa, has surely monopolised the design with its signature twists and fishnet motif. Never too late to have a pair of your own, these ballet flats made from textured lambskin with rounded toe and buckle straps on top offer a blend of comfort and unmistakable Alaïa edge. topics: FASHION, 2025 Fashion, 2025, STYLE, Celine, Fashion Trends, Fashoin Trends 2025, ADIDAS, puma, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, COS, Alo yoga, Uniqlo, Paraboot, CHLOÉ

Spanish brand Loewe tops Lyst Index as fashion faces creative shake-up
The Lyst Index for Q1 2025 has crowned Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe as the world's hottest brand amid a turbulent start to the fashion year marked by sweeping creative director changes across major houses. Loewe displaced Miu Miu, which came in second, followed by Saint Laurent, Coach and Prada on the third, fourth and fifth positions. Loewe surged to the top following Jonathan Anderson's departure, fuelling a 38 per cent spike in searches as shoppers rushed to buy pieces from his final collection. The move also positions him to succeed Kim Jones at Dior Men's, while Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez step in at Loewe. Loewe topped The Lyst Index for Q1 2025 amid sweeping creative director changes across major fashion houses. A 38 per cent spike in demand followed Jonathan Anderson's exit. Chloé and COS entered the top 10, while On debuted, fuelled by celebrity endorsements. Celine's flared jeans led product searches, and Uniqlo set a record for affordability. The quarter witnessed a reshuffling of creative leadership, dubbed 'fashion's transfer window', with changes at Chanel, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Jil Sander, and Maison Margiela. Notably, Louise Trotter became the only female creative head at a Kering-owned label. Chloé returned to the top 10 for the first time since the Lyst Index began, due to Chemena Kamali's archival revivals and the popularity of its Mini Ruffled Dress—ranked 10th among the quarter's hottest products, Lyst said on its website. In a breakthrough for mass fashion, high street label COS entered the top 10, driven by a 44 per cent surge in demand and the viral success of its barrel-leg trousers—this quarter's sixth hottest item. Newcomer On also debuted in the Index, transitioning from a sneaker brand into a fashion-forward player, backed by high-profile collaborations and endorsements from Zendaya and Roger Federer. Searches for On rose by 50 per cent this quarter. Among product highlights, Celine's Marco flared jeans—worn by Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl—topped the list after a 412 per cent jump in searches. Meanwhile, Uniqlo's coloured socks became the most affordable product ever to enter the Index at $3.90. Paraboot's 80-year-old Michael shoes saw a 226 per cent YoY search rise, reflecting the continued consumer interest in heritage pieces, while the 'sneakerina' trend surged with Puma's Speedcat Ballet, driving a 1,300 per cent increase in searches for ballet sneakers. Brands gaining momentum include Duran Lantink, newly appointed creative director at Jean Paul Gaultier, and Dries Van Noten, now under Julien Klausner's creative lead, both benefitting from renewed media buzz and increased shopper interest. The quarterly report, compiled by fashion search platform Lyst, reflects shopping behaviours from over 160 million global users, combining search data, sales, product views, and social media engagement.
