Dior Maison is expanding its homewares offering with a new collection by Pierre Yovanovitch. Evocative of the meeting point of two stories, the collection draws on the story of the Château de la Colle Noire – a property Christian Dior himself acquired in the 50s – and the Château de Fabrègues, 65 km away, to which Pierre Yovanovitch has given a new lease of life over the past ten years.

Yovanovitch is a child of the south of France, of which he draws on for inspiration in his designs. With an offering of fifteen new objects in the Dior Maison collection, the pieces are intended to be “simple, solid and noble”, in tune with the words of Christian Dior defining his residence at the Colle Noire.

Inspired by finding luxury fashion-inspired solutions to one of the world's biggest problems, FEMMZE has launched the first premium brand offering in the FemTech women's absorbency underwear space. A longtime champion of the wellness industry, and sustainably-minded designers, FEMMZE Founder Beck Quade became drawn to the absorbency underwear space when she could not find a product she wanted to wear.

Harnessing transparent supply chains, future-forward fabrication specialists and an unapologetic visual aesthetic, FEMMZE is a female-led initiative aimed at increasing health technology options for women both in Australia and globally.

"If we are to make reusable solutions form part of the mainstream, I really felt there was a gap in the market when it came to a fashion inspired brand that appeals to an entirely new customer who is interested in making conscious choices when it comes to single use plastics,” shares Quade.
