One of our favorite models — and a rising film director — Lili Sumner is in Paris this week. The LA based photographer Alexandra Cabral captured her in her hotel room, floating between jet-lag and high fashion, moving with that sexy, playful confidence that has made her an icon of her generation. Inside, she slips into the new Nike Shox Z, a super-colorful reinterpretation of the classic Shox spirit: all-day comfort fused with a sharp, sculpted silhouette, reduced to a minimalist line. A design both nostalgic and futuristic — like a fast-forward from the original Shox running shoes.
Lili never needs to pretend to be sporty or stylish, or both at the same time; she is real fun... Read More

For Spring/Summer 2026, Tom Ford’s sensuality is inebriated by Haider Ackerman’s twilight. In a dark set, the collection unfolds lustfully as models cruise around, parading in a state of controlled desire.
Sexuality is at its most euphoric when it leaves to the imagination. The opening looks, a triad of laser-cut patent leather coats, slits open as models move. Underneath the high gloss shine, skin is barely visible.
Ackerman’s codes were pushed to their most erotic Here color itself becomes a vehicle for seduction. An architecturally draped black dress teases a peek of mint.
To the sound of David Bowie’s voice, the French designer conjures images of Tony Scott’s film, “The Hunger” (1983). A glamorous couple in matching blue... Read More

Fashion’s messier side takes centre stage, showing how dirt, decay, and imperfection can spark new ideas about beauty and value. From rusted gowns to mud-stained fabrics, the show captures both the fragility of clothing and its power to be reborn.

For his 30th show in Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello went big: shoulders, silhouettes, messages, colors, jewels, messages. Spring/Summer 2026 encapsulates the YSL woman but doesn’t cage her. That would be impossible.
The recent rise of conservative ideologies shackles women to chains thought long gone. The Belgian designer harkens back to the quintessential YSL woman to inspire freedom.
Vaccarello imagines cruising in the Tuileries. It’s an easy image to conjure: belted leather coats that engorge the shoulders parade in a maze of white hydrangeas.
Still, YSL sexuality isn’t musky, it’s perfumed. Models don’t wear the imposing leather jackets naked underneath, but with massive pussybow blouses, their collars almost extending past the line of powerful shoulders.
The collection ends with a... Read More

Burberry is at its best when it leans on its authority. For SS26, British culture was explored through its musical legacy.
Citing inspiration from the upcoming Beatles film, the British designer pushed for tighter silhouettes. His mop-top muses inspired both funky colored fitted suits and mouthwatering skinny scarves,
It wasn’t just with silhouettes Lee experimented on. Denim, cotton and woven raffias were made waterproof, seeking to expand the material lexicon of Burberry.
Crochet dresses paired with Glastonbury-appropriate boots and twin sets layered under parkas: the dirt-covered runway projected an unmistakable image. Festival culture was honored earnestly.
With Twiggy in the front row, Daniel Lee saw the brand’s legacy through a mod kaleidoscope. Psychedelic (but still lucid) checkered trench coats... Read More

Dilara Findikoglu’s SS26, Cage of Innocence, stages female oppression and fantasizes on its sweet destruction.
Of the many forms these metaphorical chains assumed, the first was chromatic: white. Bound by the expectation of purity, garments began as innocent—a frilly dress, a lace-trimmed cape—only to slide into sleazier incarnations.
Belts became the most obvious yet effective device: a tight cotton jersey T-shirt molded into the shape of the corset beneath it, three belts binding the legs of a sheer black dress.
At times, the metaphor’s veil was entirely sheer—a model in a pristine babydoll dress gagged by her metal headgear. At others, it was brilliant, as in a cherry-adorned dress. The fruit, long tied to... Read More

Curated by Carla Sozzani, Joe McKenna and Olivier Saillard, this exhibition revisits Alaïa’s 2003 couture collection, after eleven years away from the runway. Presented without spectacle, his garments became manifestos of timeless craftsmanship and precision. Bruce Weber’s photographs capture their quiet power, documenting this pivotal return and its lasting influence on contemporary fashion.

Titled “Act II: Afternoon in Los Angeles,” the short film follows two women in a quiet, intimate dance. Sharp tailoring, rich textures, and the signature Futura bag channel a modern take on the classic femme fatale.

At Margiela, one does not present a collection — one delivers a ritual. And Glenn Martens, for his first artisanal haute couture, did not betray the cult — he transcended it.
For his first couture FW 2025/26 show, he could have done Martin. He chose instead to do Glenn — with Martin in his veins. The plastic wrap as a second skin, the draped silhouettes like liquid sculptures, the faces masked not to conceal but to sublimate anonymity as an act of resistance in an age of compulsive selfies. Here, the invisible is no longer erasure — it is a declaration of dignity.
The house codes are here, very much alive: trompe-l’œil, the subversion of materials, garments as... Read More

Fashion performance trilogy exploring themes of red, wings, and the pyramid. Roth has his personal take on classical symbols and transformed them into movement, fabric, and emotion. Accompanied with music by Thomas Roussel, the performance blended theatricality and couture in a sweeping, poetic tribute to the museum’s grandeur and timeless artistic spirit. Bravo Jordan!

Transformation. That’s the word that floated — invisible yet palpable — throughout Céline’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection, the first by Michael Rider. Not a spectacular, garish rupture, but a slow, precise mutation, like that of an organism that knows it can no longer survive in its previous form.
Because while everyone else is selling you quiet luxury as though it were some biblical revelation, Céline SS26 by Michael Rider spills your coffee all over the beige banquette. And it’s no accident. It’s a strategy
Rider works structure of the clothes like a passionate entomologist: he observes, dissects, and reinvents. And with him, tailoring becomes a chrysalis. Loosening a rigid system, handed down by the old powers, and infusing it with new... Read More

More than just a retrospective, the show is a testament to Rick’s life journey from LA to Paris.

Rick will always be Rick. And that’s also why we’ll always love him. Not because he is decadent or poetically chaotic, but because he has remained true and aligned with his choices, never once straying from them since the beginning. And that is remarkable.
For Temple, his Spring-Summer 2026 collection, there was something solemn and liturgical. The models — diving into the fountain at the Palais de Tokyo — like a ritual of purification washing the world of its vulgarity, formed a succession of hybrid and brutalist officiants.
Soft boots, black leathers like mourning inks, trousers cut with calculated disorder — masculinity collapses with grace to give way to a transcendence that is... Read More

It’s not a runway. It’s Wall Street meets Studio 54 after the apocalypse. Saint Laurent Homme Spring/Summer 2026 is what happens when the ghost of Grace Jones raids Michael Douglas aka Gordon Gekko’s wardrobe during a blackout in downtown Manhattan. The shoulders? So sharp they could cut through Reaganomics. Built like 80s ambition: excessive, angular, unapologetic. Vaccarello doesn’t reference the decade, he resurrects its drama and disciplines it into something post-capitalist, post-gender, post-bullshit. These are silhouettes made for shadowy elevators, backroom deals, midnight martinis and 6am regrets. Power dressing, yes but not to climb. To survive the fall. The colors hit like VHS static: aubergine, Dijon gold, boardroom brown, nicotine beige. It’s less “yuppie revival,”... Read More
