Art Basel is not without its parties, and the biggest one will undoubtedly be at the inaugural Mirror Mirror Music Festival, produced by Virgil Abloh Securities. The latter is a creative corporation founded by the late Off-White and Louis Vuitton designer, and now helmed by his wife Shannon Abloh. The festival itself is an ode to the fashion designer, bringing together many of his close collaborators and friends. The festival’s headliners include rappers Travis Scott and Skepta, as well as DJ Benji B. The partying will also be for a good cause: all profits from the event will be donated to the upcoming Virgil Abloh Foundation.

30 years after it was published, Madonna’s Sex is back in the spotlight. The book, which the pop superstar intended to be a celebration of female sexual self-expression, features a collection of erotic photographs shot by Steven Meisel. And while Sex was controversial when first released in 1992, it had a lasting impact on culture and style. In honour of the book’s anniversary, Saint Laurent set up an exhibition of large-format prints from the book at a pop-up gallery in Miami Beach. It will also offer limited-edition T-shirts and tote bags. Those looking to own the book are also in luck: the French fashion brand commissioned a re-issue of the book, with some copies to be signed by Madonna and auctioned off in support of her Raising Malawi fund.

Remember the colourful chairs that lined the front row at Bottega Veneta’s spring/summer 2023 fashion show? Those furnishings, as well as the swirled resin floor that made up the runway, were the works of Italian designer Gaetano Pesce, whom Bottega Veneta collaborated with for the Come Stai? exhibition. A selection of Pesce’s one-of-a-kind chairs will be available for purchase, as well as an accompanying book commissioned by the Italian fashion brand. The limited-edition publication, which is centred on the idea of collaboration, features a conversation between Pesce and art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, as well as Pesce’s process in creating the chairs. If you can’t make it to Miami, fret not: you can also head to Bottega Veneta’s Singapore website to shop the playful pieces.

Louis Vuitton is no stranger to the art world. Over the years, the French luxury fashion brand has collaborated with Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince and more. At this year’s Art Basel, the maison is celebrating its legacy of championing artists by shining the spotlight on their works. Sculpture, paintings and photography will all be on display, but most notable of all are two wax figures of Kusama, created by the Japanese pop artist herself. The figures mark the 10th anniversary of her collaboration with Louis Vuitton, while nodding to their upcoming tie-up, from which a handful of bags will also be shown for the first time. Speaking of bags, Louis Vuitton will also display its latest Artycapucines collection, which we got a closer look at last month.
