After presenting the first part of its Autumn/Winter 2026 womenswear collection in Paris, Hermès transported the story to Los Angeles, where Artistic Director Nadège Vanhée unveiled what she described as the collection’s “second chapter.” Staged in a hilltop pavilion in Bel Air that took a full month to build, as the California sun disappeared behind the horizon, the presentation felt like a…
Jaden Smith is officially moving the Christian Louboutin man into a 17th-century French château, and the housewarming party is a full-on clash of generations. The new Autumn/Winter 2026 men’s campaign offers the clearest insight yet into the creative direction of the newly appointed Men’s Creative Director. Conceived by Smith himself, the visual narrative presents a cast of characters living…
Balenciaga’s latest campaign opens with what appears to be a perfectly ordinary Manhattan morning. Sarah Pidgeon steps onto the pavement carrying a black leather Le City bag, weaving through crowds with the kind of hurried determination New Yorkers have practically weaponised into an aesthetic. Then the illusion cracks. A voice shouts “cut,” cameras pull back and the entire scene reveals itself…
Givenchy is doubling down on its mischief-maker energy with the arrival of the Voyou Bucket. Taking its name from French slang for a rascal, the Voyou has evolved from its initial biker-adjacent slouch into a silhouette defined by a single, cinched gesture. This new addition to the family arrives just as the Maison’s “Parisian nonchalance” finds a fresh wave of momentum, often spotted on the…
Maximalist piled-up necklaces, by brands including Celine, Givenchy by Sarah Burton and Valentino are giving the pared-back summer pendant are run for its money
YOKE The week begins with a knot. Not a bow and not a buckle, but a knot, tied at the waist of a sand-coloured trench coat with the quiet deliberation of someone who has thought about this one gesture for a very long time. Beside it, a crocheted bag in thick black yarn, its weave dense enough to feel weighted in the hand. These are the details that YOKE builds a collection around: the point where…
Andreas Kronthaler’s latest trip through the Vivienne Westwood vaults for Autumn/Winter 2026 feels like a chaotic trip to a very expensive jumble sale. Titled ‘Anglophilia,’ the collection pulls historical ghosts from their graves, taking inspiration from the formal, regal portraits of the Tudor court, and drops them into a contemporary London setting. Kronthaler is approaching the ‘DIY…
A paragon of pared-back ‘90s style, the minimalist midi is a low-effort, high-impact summer wardrobe staple.
Has the season even started without the spring ModaLisboa schedule? This year the unique fashion week kicked off from 12 – 15 March 2026, bringing back an exciting itinerary that once again elevates both emerging and staple artists from the ever-evolving scene in Portugal. Following up on its October edition, ModaLisboa presented by OMODA & JAECOO, returned with a fresh concept (PEBBLING),…
Have you ever seen something so hauntingly beautiful that a long pause feels necessary to process the emotion? Maison Margiela brought an after-hours Parisian flea market directly to Shanghai for Autumn/Winter 2026. Glenn Martens is continuing his profound exploration and recalibration of the house language, moving forward from the ghostly silhouettes and stitched mouthpieces he debuted last…
Albert Kriemler travelled to Bogotá last September to meet Olga de Amaral, a Colombian textile artist who has spent over sixty years turning horsehair and gold leaf into sculptural history. The creative director arrived with a clear belief about his own creative process. “I don’t think in words; I think in touch and texture,” Kriemler says, and this sentiment defined the entirety of Akris’…
Sandro is embracing a sense of joyful insomnia for the Autumn/Winter 2026 season. The creative studio is calling it the ‘Winter of Love,’ a collection that starts on a crowded dance floor and ends somewhere in the British countryside. Satin pyjama sets and lace-trimmed slips are the uniform for the people who refuse to go home until the sun is up. Rhinestones are scattered across the fabric,…
Michel Gondry is back at it again, turning the streets of Paris into a literal glitch in the matrix for the new Chanel 25 campaign. Twenty-five years after he sent Kylie Minogue on a never-ending loop through the city in the ‘Come Into My World’ video, he has recruited Margot Robbie to play every version of herself at once. It is a massive nod to 2002 pop culture, featuring a cheeky cameo from…

During the autumn/winter 2026 shows, designers like Duran Lantink, Rick Owens and Conner Ives drew upon on the German-born femme fatale’s iconic style for inspiration.
Paris Fashion Week has finally closed, but not where you might expect. Earlier this month, Valentino was notably absent from the official schedule – partially in mourning for its late founder – yet, as many predicted, Alessandro Michele had other plans. Since stepping into the role in 2024, the creative director has decamped to the Eternal City to honour Valentino Garavani’s legacy in the most…
The rain fell in sheets over the grass courts of Deauville back in July 1923, forcing a young René Lacoste to shelter under a heavy trench coat while waiting for the skies to clear. Historical accounts of that Davis Cup match against Spain’s Manuel de Gomar describe a crowd throwing newspapers onto the flooded grass to speed the drying process, a moment of collective determination that creative…
Centuries of art history within the Louvre walls provided the spiritual architecture for Marine Serre’s Autumn/Winter 2026 exploration. Named ‘The Grace of Time,’ the collection exists as a subtle rebellion against the frantic pace of the fashion industry by opting for photographic tableaux instead of a typical runway walk. Persistence defines the House identity through the crescent moon symbol…

Who would have thought that in 2026 a Maison like Louis Vuitton would find its latest muse in the agricultural world? For the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière proves that nature is, in fact, the ultimate designer. Inside the Cour Carrée of the Musée du Louvre, production designer Jeremy Hindle (of ‘Severance’ fame) created a shifting neo-landscape that felt entirely out of this…
Wanting to feel small, shielded and protected is a natural instinct, and Miuccia Prada makes sure we are completely covered. For Miu Miu Autumn/Winter 2026, she focuses on the human body against a vast world, inviting us into a space she calls “Mindful Intimacy.” The setting creates a conversation between the immense scale of nature and the very personal act of getting dressed. Inside the Palais…
Matthieu Blazy continues his evolving dialogue with the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel for the Autumn/Winter 2026 season, titled ‘La Conversation – Part Two.’ This collection follows his previous couture outing that felt like a journey through Alice’s Wonderland. Here, he expands that dreamlike atmosphere into a tangible reality, laying the foundations for his own chapter in the history of the house.…
Walking through the Lycée Carnot at the end of summer brings back the specific emotional weight of being a teenager. Julian Klausner uses this setting for the Dries Van Noten Autumn/Winter 2026 collection to explore the idea of a work in progress. He writes: “the transient moment that leads from youth to adulthood. When identity forms and what we wear defines how we are perceived, and how we…

It is a world inspired by the idea of night vision, where the familiar shapes of the…
