KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 6): The fashion scene was abuzz with the manner in which Chanel's spring/summer 2022 haute couture show kicked off: Ambassador and equestrian star Charlotte Casiraghi riding her horse, Kuskus, down the runway. To the intense surprise of guests at the Grand Palais Éphémère, Casiraghi — the granddaughter of Hollywood icon Grace Kelly, and whose mother Princess Caroline of Hanover was a close friend of the late Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld — upped the move Bianca Jagger once did on the May 2, 1977 at Studio 54 in New York, when she was photographed astride a white horse.
 
A glorious picture of Casiraghi is on the cover of Options this week, with details of the collection itself in the pages within. The other style-related read this week is a list of our picks on must-haves for the male wardrobe, as we increase our days spent physically in the office.
