Since launching the “Chime For

Change” initiative in 2013, Gucci

has backed projects on women’s

rights. The latest is short film, The

Future Is Fluid, which explores

gender fluidity through the eyes

of 13 people around the globe.

“People feel the desire to express

their individuality, they don’t want

to fit the mould anymore and

fashion has to reflect this social

change,” says Gucci creative

director Alessandro Michele.

HAND-MADE

Fashion’s newfound

love for all things crafty

has seen a resurgence of

artisanal products. Take

Christian Louboutin, for

instance, who teamed

up with local women

artisans in Portugal to

hand-weave chic totes

for their World Cabas

collaboration.

GIVING back

Far from your run-of-the-

mill, slightly naff charity

bracelet, Louis Vuitton’s

silver “Lockit” necklaces

are chic and minimal,

made in sterling silver with

an LV-emblazoned lock.

Added chops? Almost

$300 from every sale is

donated to UNICEF to

help children in warzones

and emergency areas.
