Let these pieces slither right into your wardrobe for good fortune this Lunar New Year

Snake charmers

Published Jan 20, 2025 02:42 am

The Snake, the sixth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac, is often associated with mystery, intelligence, and elegance. People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to be deep thinkers—charming and strategic. Thanks to its transformative nature, the Snake has also become a muse for designers and fashion houses, inspiring collections that pay homage to its silhouette and beauty. This makes it the perfect symbol for bold, feminine, and unapologetically sensual styles. That is expertly demonstrated in these fresh releases, dedicated to welcoming the Year of the Wood Snake in a stylish way.—John Roland Legaspi
