From Dior's takeover at The Beverly Hills Hotel to Banana Republic unveiling its revitalized flagship location, a roundup of the week's hottest style happenings

  •  Dioriviera opens at The Beverly Hills Hotel with exclusive items through summer
  •  Banana Republic unveils stunning two-story revitalized flagship store
  •  Ciao Lucia x Rixo celebrates capsule collab, and Del Core opens NYC boutique

When it comes to style, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a fashionable passerby.

As fashion editors, we're moved by all of the above, and then some. We're exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we attend VIP events; we're tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop — a lot.

To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for all.
