In 2025, Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Dior, presented the Fall 2025 collection in Kyoto, celebrating Christian Dior's longstanding connection with Japan. The show took place at the serene Tō-ji Temple, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern fashion. Inspired by Dior's 1957 kimono-proportioned jacket and Japanese dressing rituals, the collection featured wrapped lines, obi-belted jackets, and robe-like dresses echoing kimonos. Collaborations with local artisans, such as Kihachi Tabata and Tatsumura Textile, highlighted Kyoto’s rich textile heritage. Fabrics included reinterpretations of Dior’s classic prints, symbolizing a bridge between past and present, and East and West. The collection closed with romantic tulle gowns adorned with botanical embroidery, reflecting themes of love, identity, and cultural fusion explored in a prior Kyoto exhibition.

Exosomes, tiny cell-derived particles carrying regenerative properties, are emerging as the next big thing in skin rejuvenation, surpassing retinol's popularity. Initially exclusive to high-end treatments and pricey serums, exosome skincare is now more affordable with The Inkey List’s £20 serum. These particles encourage older skin cells to behave like younger ones, promoting collagen production and healing. While typically costly—like Dr Barbara Sturm’s £430 serum—this accessible option promises radiance, firmness, and hydration within 14 days. Tested for three weeks by beauty journalist Sabine Wiesel, who has dry, sensitive, and mature skin, the serum was evaluated without interference from other brightening products. Her review assesses its effectiveness compared to premium alternatives.
