Jean Paul Gaultier Teams up with Luggage Brand Lipault to Release a Quirky, Offbeat Capsule Collection

When it comes to traveling, one of the most important things you can bring along is a good companion – not a friend or a lover, no, we’re talking about a good piece of luggage. Think about it: a good suitcase rolls alongside you every step of the journey, you depend on it to store the various treasures you pick up throughout your travels, protect them from the elements, and safely transport your belongings from A to B until you’ve reached home once again. But sometimes baggage can be a bore.

Luckily there’s Lipault, a Parisian brand making indispensable travel cases that never compromise style for superior function. Their colourful, young, and free-spirited offerings ensure that your desire for self-expression can be fulfilled by your carry-on just as much as it can with your clothes.

Recently, Lipault teamed up with iconic French designer Jean Paul Gaultier – he of the Madonna cone bra and mesh ‘tattoo’ shirts – to collaborate on an exclusive capsule line of luggage that infuses Gaultier’s enfant terrible spirit with Lipault’s practicality and bon vivant.

The collection consists of a series of cases that merge Gaultier’s famous pinstripes with the efficiency of the best-selling Lipault Spinner case. The result is a sleek line of rolling suitcases that merge whimsy with class. Named the Travel collection, the cases fuse luxe leather with durable nylon for a classic exterior and feature a highly unexpected powder pink interior. The largest version of the suitcase even includes fasteners reminiscent of Gaultier’s legendary bustier.

Beyond the Travel selection, the collection includes backpacks, shoppers, handbags, and wallets made exclusively from the highest-quality leather, available in lustrous shades of burgundy and black. These bags also happen to be expandable, which helps ameliorate the traveler’s burden of bringing back more items than you left home with. Not to mention each item is stamped with a metal plate that features Jean Paul Gaultier’s logo.

The collection is elegant yet offbeat, quirky yet restrained. It’s perfect for the woman who intends to make an impact without uttering a single word. No wonder the campaign is fronted by Hanne-Gaby Odiele, the Dutch model and street style star who is known just as much for her outspoken personality and irreverent style as she is for her versatility as a model.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
