H&M to launch collaboration with Mexican designer Lorena Saravia

“When I began my brand, I wanted to create something distinctly Mexican that embodied quality, impeccable cut, and contemporary style for the modern woman. Mexico is often seen as a macho society, but women have always been a formidable force. My hope is that every woman who wears my designs feels inspired and empowered,” says Lorena Saravia.
Explored through the lens of her personal and cultural heritage, Lorena Saravia crafts a highly versatile wardrobe, including some of her most covetable signature styles. The 29-piece collection balances the strength of structured silhouettes, such as Lorena’s best-selling denim jacket and denim chaps, with sensual evening styles, including draped blouses and backless gowns. Urban and versatile, an undeniable tribute to Mexico plays out in the workwear fabrics, craft-like details, and cowboy boots – not to mention a colour palette awash in poetic desert hues.
H&M will launch a 29-piece collaboration with Mexican designer Lorena Saravia on October 16, 2025.
Inspired by her heritage and modern femininity, the collection blends structured denim and sensual eveningwear with desert hues, cowboy boots, and craft-like details.
Accessories draw from family heirlooms, creating a versatile, empowering wardrobe that honours Mexico’s culture with contemporary elegance.
“What I admire most about Lorena is how she masterfully draws from her heritage and Mexican craftsmanship to create something fresh, original, and truly her own. Overall, there is a beautiful connection to the land, blended with contemporary elegance,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, creative advisor at H&M.
Accessories layer the collection with stories and character. Lorena’s grandmother’s lion earrings served as the model for the earrings and buttons, while the brown suede cowboy boots, broad-brimmed hat and decorative belt add unmistakable flair.

Calais-Caudry Lace aims to secure European Geographical Indication status

Published
October 18, 2025
Recognised as a protected geographical indication in France, Dentelle de Calais-Caudry says it has begun the process of becoming a European geographical indication to better protect its identity against low-grade counterfeits.
From December 1, the European Union will introduce a simplified procedure under Regulation 2024/1143, which now governs geographical indications and protected designations of origin across its Member States.
Crucially, Europe is now extending a protection regime to artisanal, manufactured, and industrial products, which was previously reserved for agricultural produce, foodstuffs, and spirits.
“The Dentelliers de Calais-Caudry have already applied to the INPI, which is responsible for forwarding their application to the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), so that their geographical indication can be recognised throughout the European Union”, say the Calais and Caudry lacemakers.
Dentelle de Calais-Caudry became a regulated geographical indication in France at the beginning of 2024. It took the local industry’s representatives five years to achieve this goal, which aims to distinguish and protect know-how that is more than two centuries old, and relies on the use of imposing, complex Leavers looms, which lend their name to the lace they produce. In 1958, the “Dentelle de Calais” label was launched, and in 2015 it became “Dentelle de Calais-Caudry”, to include manufacturers from the Caudry area.

“Regularly confronted with very poor-quality counterfeits that damage their image and sales, the lacemakers of Calais-Caudry will, by obtaining this European geographical indication, benefit from legal protection across the 27 countries of the Union”, says the label, which hopes that “this guarantee of authenticity and quality, which will reassure all designers, stylists and lovers of Calais-Caudry lace, will help safeguard this know-how, these ‘passion’ trades, and accelerate international development.”
Today, Calais-Caudry lace is produced in Calais by Codentel, Cosetex, Noyon (Darquer), and Sophie Hallette / Riechers Marescot, which also operates in Caudry. The town is also home to Beauvillain Davoine, Darquer & Méry, Dentelles André Laude, Dentelles MC, Jean Bracq, and Solstiss.
