From what to know and wear, to new drops and the ultimate spots to dine, Esquire Weekly is your go-to guide.
The Campaign
Louis Vuitton has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 menswear campaign, a cinematic homage to the house’s iconic “Art of Travel.” Directed by Pharrell Williams and photographed by Drew Vickers, the campaign stars house ambassadors Jeremy Allen White and Pusha T navigating rugged railways and scenic transit routes.
The collection draws inspiration from Williams’ own journeys between Paris and Mumbai, producing a “dandy” aesthetic infused with sun-bleached pastels and coffee-brown denim. Pusha T embodies fluid sophistication, wearing wide-lapelled jackets and flared trousers designed for effortless movement, while Jeremy Allen White highlights the collection’s intricate textures with jacquard motifs and embroidered denim.
As always, Louis Vuitton’s iconic luggage anchors the campaign. Speedy P9s, Keepalls, and classic trunks are reimagined in lightweight, durable materials suitable for contemporary travel. The pieces balance historic craftsmanship with modern innovation, demonstrating that luxury can remain functional without losing its heritage.
The Collaboration
Boucheron names Colman Domingo as Friend of the Maison, recognizing his artistry, style, and influence across film, television, and stage. A two-time Academy Award nominee and Emmy winner, Domingo embodies creativity, sophistication, and storytelling excellence.
The partnership highlights Domingo’s ongoing projects and Boucheron’s connection to cinema, including a short film co-starring Charlotte Le Bon. The collaboration celebrates modern elegance, daring, and emotional resonance, reflecting the Maison’s commitment to timeless style and artistic vision.
The Bespoke Suit
Nothing defines personal style quite like a bespoke suit. Suitsupply’s Custom Made program allows men to create pieces designed for their own shape, lifestyle, and taste. From business staples to casual ensembles, the program offers suits, separate jackets and trousers, shirts, waistcoats, overcoats, and eveningwear: all crafted from premium Italian fabrics sourced directly from Biella, the heart of Italy’s weaving tradition.
Whether you’re drawn to classic wool, airy linen, or indulgent fibres like alpaca, cashmere, and silk, each fabric is seasonal, curated, and uncompromising in quality. At Suitsupply, the experience goes beyond picking a suit off the rack: you’re invited to take part in the design journey, guided by expert advisors, so every jacket, trouser, or waistcoat is unmistakably yours.
The magic of a custom suit is in its longevity. When it fits flawlessly and reflects your style, it becomes a statement, a piece you’ll reach for season after season. With over 700 fabrics at your disposal, we can vouch for the thrill of building something personal, down to the last stitch. And with a turnaround of just two weeks, your next signature look is closer than you think, whether you opt for the in-store experience or the seamless online service. Esquire Weekly recommends.
The Capsule
BOSS celebrates the upcoming Year of the Horse with a capsule collection inspired by traditional Chinese gold craftsmanship. The campaign, fronted by world swimming champion and BOSS ambassador Wang Shun, merges classical artistry with contemporary tailoring to capture the zodiac’s spirit of ambition and perseverance.
The collection incorporates goldsmithing techniques such as chasing, engraving, cloisonné, filigree, and granulation across jackets, knitwear, sweatshirts, T-shirts, polos, denim, and accessories. Key pieces, like a laser-cut leather jacket, mirror the sculptural reliefs of ancient goldwork, while jacquard down vests, velvet sweaters, and laser-printed jeans reinterpret traditional patterns for a modern wardrobe. The palette is red, white, and black accented with gold to evoke festive elegance while staying wearable.
Each piece carries a Chinese-inspired name, seamlessly blending heritage with contemporary design.
The Wellness Spot
Kick off the year by resetting mind, body, and spirit at Sohum Wellness Sanctuary in Al Quoz. This luxurious sanctuary blends ancient Ayurvedic practices with modern holistic therapies, immersive yoga, sound, and breathwork, offering a space to recharge and embrace wellness.
