FROM LETTERS TO LEATHER

For Winter 2026, Saint Laurent introduces Simone, a new handbag that turns an intimate piece of the House’s history into a contemporary accessory. Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s personal letters and the envelope pouches of the 1970s and 1980s, its sleek silhouette translates the intimacy of correspondence into an everyday object.

Supple yet structured, Simone balances softness with architectural precision, while a new Double Cassandre signature offers a dimensional take on the House’s iconic emblem. Designed with functionality in mind, its refined construction conceals two compartments and a zipped pocket behind a seamless exterior.

Available in smooth leather, suede and python across a rich palette, Simone bridges past and present — transforming the simple gesture of an envelope into a new Saint Laurent signature.


WEATHERING THE COURT

For Fall/Winter 2026, Lacoste joins forces with Mackintosh, bringing together two distinct heritages shaped by innovation, functionality and timeless style. First revealed on the centre court of Roland-Garros, the collaboration unfolds across twelve pieces under the creative direction of Pelagia Kolotouros.

Mackintosh’s iconic waterproof fabric meets Lacoste’s sporting heritage through generous, precise silhouettes designed to move between performance and urban elegance. Poncho-polos, trench dresses, pleated skirts and minimalist coats combine technical construction with refined details, while flashes of red and the signature crocodile inject Lacoste’s energy into the collection.

From hand-taped seams to co-branded buttons and waterproof trims, craftsmanship remains at the centre. The result is a meeting of British outerwear expertise and French tennis culture — functional, sophisticated and built to face the elements.


SNOW DAYS

For Dior Alps, Jonathan Anderson imagines winter in motion, bringing a playful new energy to the House’s alpine universe. For his first interpretation of the collection, performance and technical innovation meet softness, heritage and a sense of whimsy.

Snow-covered landscapes, chalets and skiers unfold across knits and bags, while the iconic Dior Oblique dresses puffer jackets, coats and après-ski accessories. Shearling, suede and deep blue leather bring warmth to the season, punctuated by rhinestones, ice crystals and playful charms.

From reimagined hiking boots to cosy accessories, Anderson turns the mountain wardrobe into a dialogue between function and fantasy. Extending beyond fashion, Dior Maison completes the snowy escape with throws, cushions and decorative objects — a full winter world where alpine practicality meets Dior’s couture spirit.


BUTTERFLY EFFECT

For Fall/Winter 2026, CHANEL continues the dialogue between Matthieu Blazy and Gabrielle Chanel, drawing on the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into the butterfly as a symbol of transformation. Movement shapes a wardrobe where function meets fantasy, masculine meets feminine, and day slips into night.

The iconic CHANEL suit evolves through fluid proportions, iridescent fabrics and unexpected materials, while nature emerges through flowers, shimmering textures and delicate pastel tones.

Photographed by Julien Martinez Leclerc, the campaign brings the collection to Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment at 31 Rue Cambon, transformed into the setting of an intimate, crowded party. The accompanying film, directed by Stuart Winecoff, captures Blazy’s vision of a CHANEL in constant motion.


FORM IN MOTION

Balenciaga revisits one of its most enduring signatures with the Hourglass Avenue Bag, a new expression of the House’s architectural approach to form. Its curved silhouette traces its origins back to Cristóbal Balenciaga’s Summer 1943 collection, where structured, peplumed jackets created the suspended hourglass shape that would become part of his design vocabulary.

Over the decades, this distinctive architecture has moved from clothing to accessories, inspiring the Hourglass Bag first introduced for Winter 2019. In 2026, Pierpaolo Piccioli reimagines the icon with a softer, more fluid construction, balancing elegance with practicality.

Firm yet relaxed, the Hourglass Avenue features a hinged handle, supple folding flap and magnetic closure engraved with 10 Avenue George V — a reference to Balenciaga’s historic Paris ateliers and present-day headquarters. Rooted in the House’s past while freed from rigidity, the bag transforms an archival silhouette into an expression of contemporary ease.


A SHARED STAGE

Dior and A24 are joining forces for a two-year creative partnership spanning film, theatre and live events, bringing together two worlds shaped by a shared commitment to storytelling and artistic experimentation. At the centre of the collaboration, Dior becomes the premier partner of New York’s historic Cherry Lane Theatre, while a broader programme will connect artists and makers across disciplines.

The partnership begins with Both Ends, a one-off performance by Justin Vivian Bond celebrating the theatre’s legacy, with costumes specially designed by Jonathan Anderson and a Paul Poiret archival piece echoing inspirations behind Dior’s Winter 2026 collection.

More than a traditional sponsorship, the collaboration sets out to support both established and emerging voices, creating new spaces for creative exchange while investing in opportunities for the next generation. For Anderson, it extends Dior’s enduring relationship with cinema into a wider conversation between fashion, film and performance — one where unexpected encounters become a catalyst for something entirely new.


TOO HUMAN TO OBEY

For its latest campaign, Desigual chooses “authenticity over perfection,” with Vivian Wilson as its face. A statement of individuality and freedom, the campaign is driven by “the same free, rebellious spirit as Desigual itself.”

The choice of Wilson feels particularly resonant: as a public figure who has come to embody self-definition and the courage to exist on one’s own terms.

That rebellious energy takes a playfully literal turn as Wilson torments a robot — an ironic reversal that turns the clash between individuality and the machine into a powerful statement. Yet the message never loses Desigual’s signature optimism: flamboyant colours and vibrant silhouettes keep the rebellion bright, playful and unmistakably alive.

At its core lies a refusal to conform. “She doesn’t fight the system. She refuses to belong to it.” Wilson embodies this uncompromising attitude in a world where expectations and conventions constantly dictate who and how to be. Here, standing apart becomes its own form of rebellion: “In a world of rules, authenticity is the most radical choice.”

Born to disobey.


DESIGNING WHAT COMES NEXT

A new chapter begins for ICICLE. The fashion house has appointed Sabato De Sarno as Creative Director, overseeing its womenswear and menswear ready-to-wear, accessories and eyewear. His first collection for the house will be unveiled for Fall/Winter 2027–28.

The appointment brings together ICICLE’s long-standing philosophy of reconnecting people with nature and De Sarno’s own approach to design, rooted in material, craftsmanship and longevity. After beginning his career at Prada, followed by Dolce & Gabbana, De Sarno spent more than a decade at Valentino before taking the creative helm at Gucci in 2023. Known for his precise eye, refined construction and attention to the product itself, he now enters a house where the dialogue between nature, culture and craftsmanship has been cultivated for nearly three decades.

For ICICLE, his arrival signals both continuity and evolution: a new creative perspective grounded in the belief that what we wear begins long before the finished garment.


A NEW STEP FORWARD

Celine and Reebok meet at the intersection of two histories: Parisian attitude and American movement. The collaboration revisits the Reebok Freestyle Lo, an icon first introduced in 1982, bringing its unmistakable heritage into the present through the lens of Celine.

Built around a shared tension between past and present, the collaboration is less about nostalgia than evolution. A familiar silhouette is given a new context, carrying decades of cultural memory while remaining resolutely rooted in the now. Offered in eight colours, the Freestyle Lo becomes a playground for individuality — one style, reimagined through infinite possibilities.


WORN WITH TIME

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Acne Studios returns to where it all began: denim. For the occasion, creative director Jonny Johansson invites legendary photographer Nan Goldin to capture the people who have shaped the house’s creative universe over the years. Rather than models, friends, artists, musicians and longtime collaborators step in front of Goldin’s lens, dressed in a mix of current pieces, archival designs and re-editions spanning three decades.

Raw and deeply intimate, the portraits reflect Goldin’s instinctive way of capturing individuality, while echoing Acne Studios’ own history of experimentation and collaboration. Denim becomes more than a material: it carries memory, changes through wear and takes on the identity of whoever inhabits it.

Thirty years on, Acne Studios looks back without nostalgia, celebrating instead the friendships, personalities and creative exchanges that continue to shape its world.

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

For Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2026–27 campaign, Interferenze, Alessandro Michele explores the magnetic tension between precision and instinct, history and modernity. Photographed by Glen Luchford inside Rome’s Centrale Montemartini, the campaign places the collection against a striking industrial backdrop, where traces of the past coexist with the machinery of a more modern age. Contrasts become a language of their own: color, texture and volume collide, overlap and respond to one another. Michele’s silhouettes inhabit this charged space with an unexpected intimacy, creating a dialogue between clothes, bodies and architecture. Rather than resolving these oppositions, Interferenze embraces their friction, revealing beauty in the unexpected encounter of seemingly distant worlds.


A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE

“For every distance from the eye there is a peculiar kind of beauty,” wrote John Ruskin in The Stones of Venice. For Bottega Veneta Winter 2026, that distance becomes a matter of perspective. The second collection by Creative Director Louise Trotter is captured through the eyes of eight photographers, each lending their own visual language to a collective portrait of the House. Over eight days in February, the collection shifts between viewpoints, revealing itself through movement, texture and detail. Structure meets softness; generous volumes come alive on the body, while craftsmanship draws the gaze closer. Documented in Zine 002, the project moves beyond the runway to explore the dialogue between intimacy and performance. No single image is asked to define the collection. Instead, eight perspectives come together, reminding us that beauty often changes depending on where we choose to stand.

MULTIPLICITY IN SENSUALITY

For Givenchy Winter 2026, Sarah Burton brings her vision of femininity into sharp focus with a campaign photographed by Juergen Teller against the raw, steely landscapes of Croatia.

Eva Herzigova, Kaia Gerber, Nyaduola Gabriel, Liu Wen and French writer Constance Debré stand at its centre — women connected to the extended Givenchy family, each bringing her own presence, personality and strength to the frame. Rather than imposing a singular vision of femininity, Burton celebrates its multiplicity: different identities, generations, attitudes and expressions of sensuality.

Against Teller’s uncompromising imagery, the signatures of the House emerge with renewed clarity. Precise tailoring meets leather shirting, draped evening dresses and an exuberant abundance of accessories. Together, they reveal a Givenchy defined by character and individuality — a wardrobe designed not to transform the women who wear it, but to illuminate who they already are.


CELEBRATION OF CHARACTER

On the eve of Sarah Burton’s first menswear presentation for Givenchy, the House unveils a dedicated campaign accompanying this landmark moment, displayed across billboards throughout Paris. Photographed in London by Juergen Teller, renowned photographer Sir Don McCullin, filmmaker and DJ Don Letts, and painter Danny Fox lend their singular presence to the campaign. Through their talent, elegance, and profound humanity, each embodies the values that have defined Givenchy since its founding. Their stories and character reflect the House’s enduring commitment to fostering genuine and lasting connections with remarkable women and men whose individuality, creativity, and integrity continue to inspire.


CRAFTED BY NATURE

For Spring/Summer 2027, JW Anderson continues its exploration of the connections between craftsmanship, creativity and everyday life. Conceived as an exercise in curation, the collection brings together a close circle of collaborators from diverse creative fields, from ceramics to writing, captured through the lens of photographer Heikki Kaski. Staying true to his intuitive approach, Jonathan Anderson plays with ideas of intervention and transformation: draped dresses, Japanese denim with a repaired appearance, deconstructed camisoles and utilitarian jackets form a wardrobe that feels both spontaneous and considered. The house’s signature silhouettes are revisited through new textures and fabrications, while inspirations are drawn from British and Irish landscapes and craft traditions. From knitwear adorned with wildflowers to playful accessories and homeware pieces that blur the line between function and art, the collection celebrates a vision of luxury rooted in process, materiality and the culture of making.


WAVES OF LIGHT

The Été CELINE campaign, photographed by Zoë Ghertner, captures a luminous vision of summer—raw, effortless, and free. Drawing inspiration from Takashi Homma’s Waves series, the imagery reflects a natural, unrestrained energy where movement becomes poetry. There is a wild beauty in its fluidity, a balance between stillness and rhythm. Light, texture, and space come together to express a season defined not by excess, but by freedom. A refined yet instinctive interpretation of summer, through the lens of CELINE.

SUMMER WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

Photographed by Jeano Edwards, the visuals capture an atmosphere of soft optimism and suspended time.
The collection reflects long, languid summer days through an effortless and quietly joyful wardrobe.
Lightweight fabrics like cotton poplin, chambray, and jersey are rendered in a palette of blues, whites, and sandy neutrals.

BETWEEN SAND AND SKYLINE

Prada reimagines summer through an unexpected urban lens with its Days of Summer 2026 campaign.
Set against surreal “urban beaches,” the visuals merge sand and skyline, creating dreamlike contradictions.
Photographed by David Sims, the campaign captures a sense of suspended reality, where the city dissolves into escapism.
Bella Hadid, Damson Idris, Louis Partridge, and Liu Wen inhabit these elevated oases with effortless presence.
Each image explores the tension between calm isolation and metropolitan intensity.
This duality mirrors the collection itself, where swimwear meets tailoring and ease meets sophistication.
Casual silhouettes are elevated through refined construction, embodying Prada’s signature hybrid aesthetic.
The campaign plays with perspective, constantly shifting between familiarity and reinvention.
Under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the narrative challenges traditional seasonal codes.
Ultimately, Days of Summer becomes less about location and more about a state of mind.
