Burberry launched its own video game, B Bounce
Fashion and tech are merging more than ever before at the moment, and British luxury brand Burberry has jumped on board with the launch of its first video game. The premise is simple: you choose a Burberry coat for the Burberry deer (designed by Riccardo Tisci) to compete in, and then race the little guy to the moon as you collect points along the way. Rewards come in the form of specialized GIFs, virtual products and prizes. Plus, players in Canada have the chance to win a very real coat from the brand. Get started here.

Holt Renfrew launches 15 exclusive Loewe handbags to support #knotonmyplanet
If you like your fashion to come with a side of philanthropy, you’re in luck. Holt Renfrew has commissioned a limited-edition hand-beaded bag ($2,300) from Loewe to support the Elephant Crisis Fund’s #knotonmyplanet initiative. Only 15 of the impossibly cute carryalls have been made, and 100 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the bags will be donated to the organization. Doutzen Kroes, the global ambassador for #knotonmyplanet, spoke to FASHION about the project: “For me, the beauty of this bag is about more than how beautiful it actually is; it’s also about what it represents: the craftspeople at Loewe who created it; Holt Renfrew, which is dedicating the proceeds to protect elephants; and the women of the Samburu Trust, whose incredible beading is detailed in each bag and whose work is being highlighted in such a way. It’s all very special to me.” Large enough to fit your keys, your phone and a lipstick or two, it’s good for you and even better for the elephants.
