There’s always something happening in the fashion and beauty world, but this is the hot list actually worth knowing about.
Mecca’s artist-designed Christmas packaging has landed, The North Face is giving its OG jacket a refresh (but was messing with an icon really a good idea?), and LSKD is getting behind Movember. Plus, a fashion collection designed specifically for a Kiwi summer – and party shoes guaranteed to brighten your mood. Let’s get into it!
Mecca’s 2026 holiday packaging has arrived
For anyone who loves giving gifts but can’t be bothered with the wrapping, Mecca has you covered. Its holiday packaging makes Christmas gifting appear chic, without the extra effort.
This year, they’ve teamed up with Australian artist and author Tai Snaith, in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria. Titled Join the Wild Chorus, the campaign features Snaith’s whimsical original artwork, Party of the Parts, a playful cast of characters, each representing a different aspect of womanhood and celebrating individuality.
The funky illustrations appear across collectible gift boxes, bags and cards, meaning you can simply purchase your item and it’s ready to pop under the tree. And really, who wouldn’t be excited to find a Mecca holiday box waiting on Christmas morning?
LSKD teams up with Movember for a limited-edition collection
Functional fitness brand LSKD is putting men’s health in the spotlight, launching a limited-edition range with Movember. Giving some of the brand’s best-loved activewear styles an update, with Movember-inspired detailing across tees, shorts, hoodies, caps and more.
Beyond the wardrobe refresh, the collaboration has a meaningful purpose – 10% of all collection sales going directly to Movember. LSKD has also pledged to raise more than $180,000 across New Zealand and Australia, supporting the organisation’s work in mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
You can shop the range online and in store.
The North Face’s iconic Nuptse jacket gets a glow-up
Few jackets bridge mountain performance and streetwear quite like The North Face Nuptse. First introduced in 1992, the cult-favourite puffer has remained largely unchanged – until now. But don’t worry, your classic favourite isn’t getting a glow-down. The two new iterations retain its signature look while introducing updated fabrics, recycled materials and a reversible design.
The Summit Nuptse stays true to its alpine roots, featuring ultra-warm 800-fill ProDown insulation that retains heat even when wet, alongside a packable hood and lightweight construction that’s easy to stuff into your pack.
The Reversible Pertex Nuptse takes a more mountain-meets-city approach. Still delivering plenty of warmth, it’s designed with street style in mind, offering two distinct looks in one. Two jackets for the price of one? We’re sold.
The Summit Nuptse retails for $1,250, while the Reversible Pertex Nuptse is $750.
The collection made specifically for a Kiwi summer
There’s something special about a label that actually designs for the way we live, rather than importing an overseas idea of summer. RMN Studios gets it. Its latest drop is made for those long, cruisy days that roll into the evening, with thoughtful, easy-to-style pieces that look just as good at the beach as they do at dinner or a festival.
Think chocolate satin, powder blue lace, relaxed cotton staples and a raffia cowboy hat for good measure. The brand consistently delivers considered designs, flattering cuts and pieces that stand the test of time. And I can attest to this – I still wear a dress I bought from RMN in 2019, after saving practically every dollar of my university allowance for it.

The party shoes serving main character energy
Summer dressing is all about having fun, and Kathryn Wilson’s new High Summer collection nails the brief. Think statement heels, playful details and party-ready footwear made for sunny lunches, Christmas events and even giving your everyday outfits a little extra personality.
Our standout? The Garland Heels, finished with a seriously fun marabou trim that brings extra fluff and diva status to every step. Honestly, how could you not feel fabulous with these on your feet?
