December is typically a quiet month for fashion news, as the major houses enjoy a brief reprieve before the hustle and bustle of fashion month in February and March. However, that doesn’t stop the wheel turning entirely, with plenty of brands making major announcements to cap off a whirlwind year in fashion. With November seeing the announcement of new house ambassadors and funky subsidiary collections, this month brings even more exciting news for the rest of 2024 and into the new year. From major new collaborations, to Christmas delights, here’s the best fashion news for December.

Her work to amplify creative voices, inspire authenticity and champion inclusivity are some of the many reasons why she has been chosen to receive this year’s award,” Pandora said in a statement.
For the event, Issa wore a white button up and feathered skirt, adorned with Pandora’s lab-grown diamond earrings.
