Glenn Martens X H&M dropped on October 30 and if you blinked, you probably missed the best bits. I had my eyes on the vest top with the invisible straps—despite previewing the collection—I forgot to set a reminder for it. Classic. To no one’s surprise, most of the fun stuff is already gone, but there’s a couple of hoodies, tees, and a black ribbed minidress with hook-and-eye fasteners still up for grabs in most sizes. Earlier last month, H&M also released a collab with Mexican designer Lorena Saravia. It flew under the radar, which means you can still snag some gems—like an asymmetrical halterneck top and a fringed suede skirt—in select sizes.

Over at Uniqlo, JW Anderson returns for autumn/winter 2026 with another lineup of classics including a poncho, shirts, sweaters, and an abundance of socks. There’s also a fresh Uniqlo X Needles drop with fleece trackpants and oversized cardigans perfect for lounging in this winter. Meanwhile, part of the latest Wales Bonner for Adidas Originals collab has also landed in India. Sadly, no shoes this time—the new crochet-striped and sequinned Karintha Lo slim sneakers are so painfully good and on-trend—but you’ll find football tees, a velour tracksuit, and wool trousers that hit the sweet spot between tailoring and sportswear. If you really want a sparkly sneaker, there’s the new limited-edition Swarovski-studded Converse Run Star.

And for something more refined, Rose has released the ‘Ranthambore Reserve’—a special edition watch designed by Biren Vaidya in collaboration with Backes & Strauss. It features a forest-green dial with the 12 o’clock rendered as an ‘R,’ paired with a black alligator strap. Only five pieces exist worldwide, making it one for serious collectors. Rumour has it, three have already been snapped up.
