Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.
No matter how many years it’s been since we graduated, the beginning of September always feels like back-to-school season — and by extension, that also means it’s a time of fresh starts. Fall movie season is about to kick off, fashion weeks around the world are about to take over our Insta feeds, and the latest batch of seasonal trends will be filling the aisles.
So, what’s one to do when it’s time to start something anew (or, at least, it feels like it is)? Get shopping, of course. And naturally, there are plenty of fashion and beauty launches to fill up your carts — virtual or physical — with this month, including new designer collaborations (hi, Ganni x New Balance), fall sneakers, and cool-weather-ready moisturizer. To discover all the fashion and beauty launches available this September, click through the slideshow ahead.

Glossier Crème de You Dry-Touch Body Butter
If you’ve ever caught a whiff of the Glossier You perfume, you’ll know that it’s truly something special. With a warm and powdery profile that envelopes your skin in a familiar musk that smells like “you, but better”, the fragrance paved the way for the current popularity of skin scents (with Phlur’s Missing Person being another viral standout). Now, Glossier You has expanded into the body care category. The new Glossier Crème de You is a fast-absorbing body butter that carries the same delicate notes which make the OG perfume so irresistible, including amber and iris, plus ambrox, the grounding, skin-like component. Reviewers have raved about how the lotion is rich and creamy, yet keeps the skin silky without feeling oily, thanks to hydrating ingredients like shea butter and jojoba oil. The gorgeous vermilion packaging, which matches with the cap of the perfume bottle, is reason alone to add this to your nightstand skincare collection.

Ganni x New Balance T500
Ganni and New Balance are back with another collaboration — this one focused on the footwear brand’s popular ’80s silhouette, the T500. The once-minimalist sneakers will be available in white and get the Ganni touch with leopard print accents. This latest drop is also part of the Copenhagen brand’s ongoing project to support emerging talent in its hometown, and will officially debut alongside an exhibition at its Denmark flagship store showcasing four unique T500 designs (ceramic or woolen-felt versions, for example) made by Copenhagen creatives Masculina, Bonnetje, Camilla Skov, and Ojuna Njama Petersen. The Ganni x New Balance T500 — which is made, in part, using recycled materials — will then be available to shop on September 20 for $150.

Saie Lip Liner 101
Just in time for a fresh lip combo this autumn, Saie has unveiled a fleet of lip liners that are both highly blendable and long-wearing. This is all thanks to a formula of skin-quenching ingredients like squalane and glycerin, which helps the colors glide on easily and melt right into the skin. The Lip Liner 101 collection comes in five pink, mauve and brown shades to suit an array of different skin tones. They make the dreamiest pairing with the brand’s much-hyped Glossybounce Hydrating Lip Oils, which will also be getting three additional shimmering shades (Disco, Shake and Remix).

Mulberry x Rejina Pyo
Mulberry Editions — a series celebrating the luxury British brand’s history with design collaborations — has just unveiled its latest partner: Rejina Pyo. The London-based designer (who can count Meghan Markle as a fan) has designed a limited-edition capsule collection using signatures from both her own collections and Mulberry. Find handbags — including a new iteration of Mulberry’s archival Blenheim silhouette with a knotted closure often used by Pyo, as well as top-handle crossbody bag inspired by the Clovelly line — and oversized coats, belted suits, and more all available in autumnal hues. Prices range from $220 to $1,525.

Victoria Beckham x Augustinus Bader The Concealer Pen
We’ve been really impressed with Victoria Beckham Beauty’s makeup range thus far, and its latest drop is no different. The Concealer Pen — a joint creation with the editor-favorite luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader — is a complexion coverage product, and according to Beckham, “you need less the more you use it.”. This is accomplished by a formula featuring TFC8, Augustinus Bader’s star ingredient. This powerful blend of peptides, amino acids and vitamins works hard to minimize the appearance of dark spots, under-eye circles and breakouts by triggering skin cell regeneration. The product claims to keep your skin hydrated for up to eight hours with a glowy finish — without any creasing or settling into pores. It comes in 16 shades catering to both warm and neutral undertones, featuring a click-pen and brush mechanism. While this concealer is a pretty hefty investment at $68 a pop, the unique combination of top-end skincare and makeup has definitely piqued our interest.

The Levi’s x Kiko Kostadinov collab includes menswear and womenswear styles. Find pieces like a three-piece denim suit, a jacket with large sleeves and a cinched waist, and paneled jeans. Prices range from $220 to $690.

Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume Floral Edition
The summer may be over, but you can transport yourself to a blooming garden in the sun in just one spritz, thanks to Gisou’s new honey-infused hair perfume. The Lavender Berry scent was first launched as a limited edition product in summer 2022, but received such an overwhelmingly positive response that the brand has decided to bring it back for good. The refreshing yet earthy fragrance contains notes of lavender, ginger, blackberries and of course, honey from super-influencer and founder Negin Mirsalehi’s bee garden. Honey actually makes a lot of sense as an ingredient for hair: It’s naturally rich in vitamins and amino acids, which attract and seal in moisture.

H&M x Anamika Khanna
“I’ve always felt Indian fashion gets lost when interpreted by the rest of the world,” Indian designer Anamika Khanna said in a press release introducing her new collaboration with H&M. The creative is tackling that head-on with the new line, which channels her flair for eclecticism, glamor, and a keen eye for tailoring. The collab features vibrant draped skirts, asymmetrical caftans, luxe silk pajamas, and a selection of jewelry made in India using reclaimed metal. “Often, our fashion — in terms of the culture, the heritage of craft, and textile embroideries — is regarded as costume or not wearable or modern enough. Things have changed a lot, and this collection with H&M allows me to take something Indian and make it global and contemporary.” The collection will be available to shop online on September 5.
