LOEWE Celebrates The Year of The Horse Lunar New Year

LOEWE celebrates the Year of the Horse with a short film featuring LOEWE Global Brand Ambassador Wang Yibo, and a series of events inspired by Chinese lanterns – symbols of reunion, hope and courage during the festive season.

Honouring Chinese craft to celebrate the new year is an annual LOEWE tradition. For 2026, an animated short film has been co-created by LOEWE and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, paying homage to Peng Wenxi’s classic fable ‘Little Horse Crossing the River’. The film follows a young horse who sets off to fetch lanterns for the village and meets a deer, a platypus and Wang Yibo along the way. The film illuminates a story of self-belief and courage, and reflects LOEWE’s continued affinity with Chinese animation craft and literary heritage.

Inspired by the spirit of the horse, the New Year collection features iconic LOEWE designs including special editions of the Puzzle and Amazona 31 cropped bags adorned with hand-knotted fringes and tassels inspired by a horse’s mane, while charms and dice take the playful shape of the endearing creature. 

Leather overshirts, much like the one created for Wang Yibo and worn by the actor in the short film, will also be exclusively available in select stores in China. An accompanying campaign photographed by Nick Yang features Wang Yibo. Model Wei Yiting brings a complementary presence to the imagery.

CHLOÉ Celebrates The Year of The Horse Lunar New Year

As the Year of the Horse begins, Chloé celebrates the Lunar Year with a collection that honors both heritage and renewal where the spirit of the Horse finds its natural home within the maison's DNA. 

In Chinese culture, the Horse represents freedom, vitality, and grace. For Chloé, it's more than a motif; it's an evocation of a woman who moves freely through the world with quiet strength and spontaneity. The collection brings that duality to life, with the iconic equine theme traversing desirable, pared-down silhouettes and signature accessories.

The collection reinterprets the maison’s iconic horse motif, highlighting young & sophisticated silhouettes and refined details that seamlessly blend French style with festive New Year sentiment distilling a timeless Parisian chic. A palette of red, nude, and denim encourages mix & matches styling, presenting a cool and effortless attitude.

Ready-to-wear pieces include everyday essentials such as t-shirts, knitwear and denim shapes, while a high-necked jacket with gathered sleeves fastens with equestrian-inspired buckles. Denim is detailed with horse buttons and Chloé-embossed brass rivets.

Bags showcase the Maison's craftsmanship: the small Spin bag is recast in both gold and nougat, adorned with the horse chain and medallions that catch the light, while the Paddington and Bowling bags arrive in festive shades of black and gold.

Accessories complete the story as the final touch to festive vibe. The chain horse collection, cast in vintage gold drawing horse facing each other and horse mane, carries wishes of good fortune ideal for daily styling or new year gifting.

MIU MIU Celebrates Chinese New Year 2026 with The Encounter (如期而遇) Ad Campaign

MIU MIU celebrates Chinese New Year 2026 with The Encounter (如期而遇) ad campiagn, now in its second iteration, specially conceived for the year of the Fire Horse. Directed by Chinese filmmaker Gu You and photographed by Li Sihao, the campaign unfolds at the Gongwang Art Museum on the outskirts of Hangzhou – a brutalist landmark surrounded by hills, scattered red spheres and soft winter mist. Starring singer-songwriter, Lexie Liu, and actress, Zhao Jinmai, the campaign draws on a sense of synchronicity and quiet wonder.

Moving through rooftops, staircases and open courtyards, the two protagonists encounter a white horse, a symbolic figure evoking independence, vitality and the spirited energy associated with this zodiac year. The setting – poised between the rural and the metropolitan – heightens the contrast between reality and reverie, modernity and memory, functionality and grace: a vocabulary that lies at the heart of the Miu Miu imaginative universe. The collection expresses an optimistic, liberated attitude, attuned to the sense of renewal marking this festive moment. Silhouettes balance structure and ease: zip-front blousons, oversized hoodies, shrunken knits, pleated or full knee-length skirts, structured trousers, camisole layers and off-the-shoulder dresses. The palette ranges from grey, brown, navy, black and white to true red, the emblematic colour of good fortune and prosperity. 

Key bags include the Wander, Arcadie, Aventure, the pochette in nappa antique, nappa suede, and matelassé leather, offered in classic tones as well as metallic silver and CNY red. Footwear highlights include Plume sneakers in new seasonal iterations – customizable with two-tone laces and lucky trinkets (leather tassels, pom-poms, stylized flowers) – alongside leather loafers and sturdy hobo boots. The offering is completed by vintage-inspired eyewear, new logo hair accessories, and the Miu Miu Miutine Eau de Parfum.

MONCLER Celebrates The Year of The Horse With A Capsule Collection

Moncler presents its newest Year of the Horse collection draws inspiration from the spirited, upward-flowing form of a horse at full gallop - a leap that conveys the power to break boundaries, move into new realms, and embrace the future. It is an invitation to ride the dream upward, to stride boldly into a new journey. This collection pays tribute to the fearless spirit of striving: to break barriers, surpass limits, and leap into the next new frontier.

The campaign, a visual ode to moving forward with courage, stars Chinese actor Zhang Kangle, captured through the lens of photographer Wintam. Moncler celebrates the Year of the Horse as an invitation to move forward with strength and grace - a narrative of connection and ambition, and a wish for a life that advances boldly, together. Zhang Kangle brings both the sunny vitality of an athlete and the nuanced emotional expression of an actor to the imagery. With a resolute gaze, he leaps forward with elegant momentum, perfectly embodying the theme of leaping into the new year.

The horse is interpreted through curved quilting and embroidered teddy fabric on jackets, vests, and cardigans. The capsule offers complete looks, including sweatshirts and pants, T-shirts, polos, caps, gloves, and footwear. Each piece features a special curved logo, inspired by the soaring silhouette of a horse in motion. The color palette takes its cue from the equine world, weaving together careful combinations of Sugar Swizzle, Pink Tint, Total Eclipse, Jet Black, Friar Brown, Cowhide, Cinnamon Stick, and Gray Melange to create a sense of balance and harmony. Fabrics include signature lightweight matte nylon and intricate embroidery on jackets and vests, alongside Scuba, combed cotton, and jersey lend a casually polished feel to sporty, city-ready layers.
