P H OTO S CO U R T E S Y O F C H A N E L ; VA L E N T I N O; F E N D I; P O M E L L ATO MATTER OF STYLE Pomellato, the Milanese jeweler best known for its berry-bright gemstones, is opening a new boutique at the Shops this month. The luxe 1,000-square-foot store—which takes its design cues from the arches of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Italy's oldest active shopping arcade— will carry the brand's full range of collections, including 10 new novelties from Pomellato Together, the minimalist line of gold and diamond necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings, including an ear cuƒ. —JOSHUA HENDREN CREATIVE VISION The depth—and breadth—of the world's top fashion houses was on full display at Paris's Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture shows. At Valentino, creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli transformed the brand's Place Vendome atelier into a kaleidoscopic exploration of volume, shape, and silhouettes, with flowy color-blocked pantsuits, nubby fringe, and a divine royal purple gown (pictured on the previous page) that appeared to float down the spiral staircase runway. Chanel's ballet-inspired collection by Virginie Viard, meanwhile, was ephemeral and ultra-feminine, featuring a romantic watercolor-pink palette and a dazzling array of tulle, pleats, lace, and flowers paired with shimmering white leotards and tights. And at Fendi, Kim Jones faced forward while paying tribute to the past: honoring Karl Lagerfeld's futuristic 1999 collection with sleek minimalistic looks inclduing a body-skimming floor-length dress of slinky silver mesh. —AMANDA EBERSTEIN Rings from the new Pomellato Together collection Looks from the S/S 24 Haute Couture collections: Valentino (1, 2); Fendi (3); Chanel (4, 5) 1 3 5 4 2 72 BAL HARBOUR
