This week in fashion was filled with moments that we want to highlight. First up, Doja Cat fronts Marc Jacobs’ latest campaign, showcasing their quilted bags in a sun-soaked, city-staycation theme. Meanwhile, adidas Originals and Wales Bonner unveiled their Spring/Summer 2025 collection, highlighted by the debut of a new collaborative sneaker, the WB Karintha.

The American Music Awards also delivered fashion highlights, with SZA stunning in a two-piece Ellie Misner look, and breakout country star Shaboozey turning heads in custom Etro.

Marshalls recently launched The Upgrade Lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport which offered an intimate experience for travelers.

Capping off the week, Maria Grazia Chiuri officially announced her departure as Artistic Director of Dior Womenswear, marking the end of a transformative era for the French fashion house.

Sza took a brief intermission her global tour to attend the American Music Awards, where she took home two major honors: Favorite Female R&B Artist and Favorite R&B Song for her hit “Saturn.” For the occasion, she wore a striking ensemble by Ellie Misner, a form-fitting look featuring a plunging neckline and a sleek, body-hugging skirt that flowed into a chiffon hem at the feet. She completed the look with a single statement bangle, adding a touch of understated elegance.

Dior Artistic Director Maria Grazia Chiuri Steps Down 

Maria Grazia Chiuri is officially stepping down as the artistic director of womenswear at Christian Dior, the brand confirmed in a statement on Thursday, according to Business of Fashion, following months of speculation. Chiuri, who joined Dior in 2016 after her tenure at Valentino, has played a pivotal role in reshaping the French fashion house’s identity and product direction. During her time at Dior, she relaunched the iconic Saddle Bag, introduced the now-beloved Book Tote and Bobby Camera Bag, and shifted the spotlight away from the classic Lady Dior, ushering in a new era for the brand.
