1. Stolen kisses
Stolen Girlfriends Club launches its 20th-anniversary celebrations with Stolen Kisses, a strikingly raw and romantic campaign that mirrors the brand’s boundary-pushing design. Perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, the imagery captures love in its purest form—unfiltered, passionate, and electrifying. Featuring three unique couples, the visuals exude intimacy and rebellion, reflecting the brand’s signature rebellious spirit. Moments of untamed desire spill out onto the city streets, providing a stunning backdrop to the jewellery pieces that are as bold as the feelings they represent. “Stolen Kisses is an exploration of love in its most real form – untamed, vulnerable, and undeniably powerful,” says Marc Moore, Stolen Girlfriends Club’s Founder. “This campaign celebrates what it means to embrace love in its rawest form while showcasing our commitment to blending everyday luxury and craftsmanship with powerful emotion.”
2. Oh, Darling!
Still searching for the perfect spot to whisper sweet nothings into your beloved’s ear this Valentine’s Day? We suggest Darling on Drake for your consideration. The Tāmaki Makaurau hotspot is bringing back their popular ‘Cherub’ cocktail just in time to celebrate the day of love. Made with a Meadowlark Cherub pendant encased in a large ice cube, this indulgent gin cocktail is the perfect Valentine’s treat. Darling will also be serving a special menu designed for two lovebirds to share, including a Champagne & Oysters special and a decadent chocolate mousse, Cupid’s Cocoa Delight. Now that’s love, darling!
3. Witch club
While most eyes were on the star-studded runways this New York Fashion Week, it was the intimate studio presentation of Colleen Allen’s AW25 collection that captured our attention. A beguiling blend of Victorian-era silhouettes and playful, peekaboo fashion moments, the collection features a decadent velvet duster coats in cerulean paired with cheeky crinoline underwear, artfully draped silk chiffon dresses and a selection of camp t-shirt’s printed with the words “Witch Club”. The Calvin Klein and The Row alum may only be a year into her brand but she’s already cast a spell on New York’s fashion scene. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one.
4. An ode to movement

A tribute to movement, adaptability, and quiet confidence, each piece in the collection balances refinement and practicality, offering effortless sophistication for every moment. Handwoven textures, sculptural silhouettes, and signature details merge modernity with timelessness in this striking first drop.
