The heat in Paris this week has been impossible to ignore. As temperatures rise across the city and the fashion crowds descend for menswear and couture week, the search for air conditioning becomes its own kind of survival instinct. But away from the sweltering commotion of outdoor runway shows, EZR’s SS27 showroom found arguably one of the best solutions: a cool space where guests could actually…
Last year, at the same time as Paris Fashion Week Men’s, Dazed Media editors, friends and family came together at Dover Street Market Paris for an evening celebrating its titles across the world. This year, that gathering returned, bringing together the global Dazed Media family once again to mark the launch of the China edition and celebrate the next chapter of Dazed, AnOther, Another Man and…
This Pride season, we take note of the beauty brands showing up for the cause. Since 1970, the month of June has become dedicated to remembering the Stonewall Riots and celebrating queer lives, identities and liberation. Over the years, it has also become a time when brands and companies have come out in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The beauty industry has always owed a significant amount to…
There are many occasions today when an enjoyable party or function is described with just two words: “a vibe”. Since the phrase “good vibes” first infiltrated pop culture, the word “vibe” has been used to describe everything from the mood of a place to a larger cultural shift happening in society (there was even a supposed “vibes-cession” back in 2024). But there ishellip;

It was a menswear season for the ages. While Europe burned in the most intense heatwave since records began, Paris Fashion Week had no choice but to go ahead, with celebrities braving the scorching sun in their most weather-inappropriate garb. On the runway, things took a turn for the bizarre, with controversial streamer Clavicular openinghellip;

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read,” James Baldwin famously said. It’s what makes picking up a book so powerful: the potential for finding solace and solidarity. Or of having your eyes opened to a completely new way of seeing things, possibilities you’ve never encounteredhellip;

While there is never a moment when die-hard fans aren’t following the game, it seems fair to say that 2026 has been one of the biggest years for football in recent memory. Following Arsenal’s win last month and the ongoing World Cup, there is a sense of collective energy felt across the world, with football once again becoming a shared language of identity, community and belonging, expressed…
To go to a Marc Jacobs show is to strap in for an emotional journey, usually one that is brief and extremely off-schedule. In February, after losing a member of his “fashion family”, Louie Chaban, his SS26 show grappled with grief. For his SS27 show on Monday night at The New York Public Library, Jacobs was feeling grateful, wanting to offer up a “little light, shine, colour, beautyhellip;

There’s a spiritual connection between 00s emo rock bands like My Chemical Romance and the midwestern hyperpop of artists like Glaive over two decades later – a sort of fatalistic teenage angst that froths over into maximalist instrumentation. Transplant thesehellip;

Two years ago, the night Drake’s bodyguard was shot, the subreddit for the oddball series _Nirvanna the Band the Show_ was captivated. In the background of TV news footage at Drake’s mansion, the sitcom’s director, Matt Johnson, could be spotted filming his fellow co-star, Jay McCarrol, for an upcoming movie spinoff. One Redditor wondered how Johnson and McCarrol were outside the singer’s home…
When it comes to fashion shows, Jacquemus does what he wants. Rather than showing in step with the traditional calendar, the French designer dips in and out when he pleases, and often skips Paris altogether for even more glamorous locations across the globe. Take today’s SS27 show for example. Paris Fashion Week men’s had just concluded a mere 12 hours earlier, but that didn’t stop…

Surusinghe has spent most of her summer bouncing between continents and time zones on a run of festival dates and club slots. As she calls in from her London flat, she’s back from a weekend in Berlin and is already packing for a trip to San Francisco: “it’s just like plane, club, plane, club, another plane… that’s really where we’re at,” she says, with a laugh.
Those long-haul flights have given…
Thanks to the attention economy, many people feel compelled to use ragebait to get attention – especially on social media. For fashion brands, runways are the perfect opportunity to employ this tactic – and often, casting controversial people in shows can create a talking point that gains traction on the internet and provokes the audience into engagement. Case in point: this Paris Fashion Week,…
After first joining forces back in January, LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi and OnlyFans are back for round two of their collaboration. The link-up was originally debuted for AW26, when French designer Louis-Gabriel Nouchi tapped the subscription-based social media platform for an ongoing partnership, which saw Nouchi launch his own channel, expanding the brand’s creative universe through a behind the…
Amid the Paris heatwave, stars are still turning up to menswear shows in their finest. Is it always practical? Perhaps not. Will an OTT ensemble inevitably become internet fodder before looping back around as a meme? Absolutely. Take _Heated Rivalry_ ’s leather-clad Connor Storrie at the Saint Laurent menswear show, seated beside Madonna and read more raquo;

“Sorry, I’m on a tangent now, the coffee is kicking in,” says Björk, calling in from a cabin in the Icelandic countryside. In fact, she is about three tangents and ten minutes away from my original – and, for that matter, first – question. Her words arrive like wind on a cliff-face, rapidly picking up speed and whipping in new directions as she lets herself get carried away by her thoughts. All…
There are strong currents of fantasy and identity running through this month’s most loved photo stories. From Camille Vivier’s “dangerously seductive” and fantastical visions of the female form to Walter Pfeiffer’s theatrical pursuit of beauty and Ryan McGinley’s cinematic vision of New York at night. Kim Jakobsen Tô documented his queer friends and loved ones in Mexico City alongside the…
As queer women took to the streets of New York this weekend for their Dyke March, the lesbians of London gathered together for a slightly different, but still extremely gay, reason: a Shane McCutcheon lookalike contest.

_WARNING_ : if you are coming to Paris this summer, be prepared to drop trou. I say this because, at the most recent Paris Fashion Week men’s, there was a distinct lack of trousers on the catwalks. Call it a ban on bottoms, or the mystery of the missing pants, but SS27 is officially the start of the trouserless trend in menswear.
The whole thing began early in the week, on Tuesday, at the read…
David Lynch’s _Twin Peaks_ has fashion in a chokehold. In the same way that you can count on David Bowie’s “Heroes” to play during the finale of at least one show per season, you can guarantee that at least one designer will pay tribute to the Lynchian universe. In the past, creative directors such as Hedi Slimane, Rafhellip;

Kiko Kostadinov picked up where it left off for SS27. Back in January, the founder and eponymous designer dialled back colour in favour of spirited, graphic patterns, broadening the brand’s technical know-how through innovative cuts and construction. This season, Kostadinov remained immersed in exploring how geometric forms could push his collections to their limits. A nod to the monochromatic…
Rei Kawakubo is famously aloof. The 83-year-old Comme des Garçons designer refrains from public speaking, rarely gives interviews or releases statements, and when she does, leans on her husband and CDG CEO Adrian Joffe as her interpreter.
However, since founding Comme in 1969, her vehicle for communication has often been her work. Her sculptural, avant-garde designshellip;

It feels fitting to meet with Sophia Stel during Lesbian Visibility Week. As we walk around London’s brutalist Barbican Centre ahead of her show later in the evening, she eagerly tells me I need to get a pair of her boxers merch – branded _Sophia Stel_ in a font knowingly reminiscent of Calvin Klein. Later, when I make it to the merch stand, they’re already sold out. It seems her other…
