Florentina Leitner SS26

And this season, Leitner brings a major pop culture twist through an unexpected yet genius collaboration with Paul Frank. Julius the Monkey (and yes, Bunny Girl too) make their comeback; only cooler, cheekier and infinitely more fashion.

Bernadette SS26

For SS26, BERNADETTE presents “Summer Estate”, a collection steeped in playfulness, girlhood, and nostalgia. The show transported us to a sun dappled seaside home, where every room and garden corner held memory.

Nadav Perlman SS26

In this collection, Perlman responds to the turbulent times in which we live. Where we are constantly confronted with unsettling images of reality.

Gauchere SS26

The Spring/Summer 2026 collection from GAUCHERE wasn’t so much shown as it was felt. In a staging where the line between fashion and live art dissolved, Marie-Christine Statz invited us into a world where fabric and body moved as one; an exploration of transformation, rhythm, and the expressive power of form.

Time SS26

I didn’t think I was going to make it to this show. It was a very last minute decision after the Uma Wang presentation wrapped. I decided to gun it across the Seine to Samaritaine. By the time I reached the entrance, the doors were already closed. But fashion luck has its own timing, they let me view the show from one floor down, and as fate would have it, all the models lined up right in front of me afterward. It turned out to be the best vantage point of the day.

Uma Wang SS26

Cravatteria patterns weave through like veined stone, a subtle counterpoint to timeless flow. Art history breathes into wearable inquiry.

Caroline Hu SS26

Caroline Hú’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection Reverie at Paris Fashion Week unfolded like a lucid dream; part performance, part poem, and entirely its own universe, where silhouettes flipped, fabric dissolved into light, and romance was reimagined as something quietly radical.

Litskovska SS26

Delicate lace, silk, and embroidery flow against the heft of denim, embodying Litkovska’s belief that beauty emerges only when contrasts collide. Each piece was designed to evolve with the wearer, unfolding, unfastening, or transforming, a quiet rebellion against rigidity.

DÉ MOO SS26

If SS25 was Dé Moo’s opening declaration, a signal to the brand's new beginnings, SS26 was the quiet confidence that follows. The brand maintained its minimal avant-garde backbone but expanded its aesthetic with new materials and bolder, more experimental silhouettes, suggesting a designer increasingly at ease in this larger orbit.

Anrealage SS26

For Spring/Summer 2026, Morinaga turns fashion into a living interface between art, technology, and humanity through a profound collaboration with HERALBONY, a creative company based in Tokyo and Paris. Morioka empowers artists with disabilities to thrive and reframe perception. In a season where “innovation” is often synonymous with speed and novelty, Anrealage slows us down, asking us to look again, and again, until we truly see.

Laura Andraschko SS26

Monte Carlo, her SS26 collection, reads like a love letter written in lipstick and tax code to the eternally glamorous, hopelessly scandalous French Riviera. Stating loudly what Absolutely Fabulous fans have known for decades, “the south of France is full of criminals” Andraschko’s tongue in cheek narrative gave us a fresh reason to forgive the excesses of the ultra rich.

Vautrait SS26

The quintessential French It girl, Vautrait’s eternal muse, wandered amongst us. She wasn’t performing, she was simply being.

Julie Kegels SS26

Julie Kegels’ show unfolded at the metro stop Passy in Paris’ 16th arrondissement, models spilling out of an apartment door like they had just remembered, mid-thought, that they were late to somewhere else. Caught in between never arriving and always on the move, they walked to a soundtrack of 32 women’s voices, internal monologues drifting from anxious to hopeful to blank. “Change. Change. Left, right, left, right. Don’t trip. Don’t forget your head.”, turning the runway into a collective stream of consciousness.

Ujoh AW25

UJOH’s AW25 collection unfolded as a nostalgic yet fiercely modern ode to the subversive spirit of Japanese high schoolers in the ‘90s. Designers Aco and Mitsuru Nishizaki, masters of deconstructed tailoring, reimagined the school uniform as a canvas for self-expression, blending rigidity with fluidity. Oversized cardigans draped over asymmetric skirts defied conformity, while leg warmers, echoing the era’s iconic loose socks, whispered of adolescent rebellion.

HAYELI AW25

The debut of HAYELI’s AW25 collection was a philosophical inquiry draped in liquid organza and laser-cut illusions. The question posed by designers Armine Ohanyan and artist Tigran Tsitoghdzyan lingered in the air like a refrain... Are we the image we see in our reflection, or the one we invent?.

Shiatzy Chen AW25

Miao silversmithing inspired detachable brooches (sun, butterflies, dragons) and cascading silver-chain necklaces. Studded leather bib tops and quilted jackets echoed the tribe’s talismanic aesthetic, while mandarin collars gleamed with metallic precision. Ten one-off bags, each dedicated to a Miao embroidery technique, stole the show. The Hobo and Secret-zip crossbody offered playful versatility, but the true stars were the embroidered classics, their panels stitched with "histories one by one".

Paula Canovas Del Vas AW25

Canovas transformed the embassy’s dining hall into a linguistic battleground. Models clad in oversized lime-paper letters rearranged them into English, French, and Spanish phrases, blurring the lines between fashion and performance art. The collection itself was a riot of her signature bold hues and graphic play consisting of lace-up bustiers inspired by Converse sneakers (adorably accessorized with flowers by her mother) and shirting reinvented with furry cuffs and reversible silhouettes.

Vautrait AW25

"While creating this collection, I understood there is no closure. Perhaps this is why one collection always follows another, there is never a finish line, never a definitive answer, only the question that persists. It may shift in angle or narrative, but it remains the same at its core, a question that will never find resolution." Yonathan Carmel

ATLEIN AW25

Antonin Tron’s ATLEIN Fall Winter 2025 collection, unveiled at the Palais de Tokyo, was a study in sartorial sculpture. Drawing from prehistoric Venus figurines; symbols of fertility, power, and the female form, Tron reimagined the body as a canvas for architectural drapery.

Florentina Leitner AW25

Paris Fashion Week’s enfant terrible, Florentina Leitner, turned the American Church in Paris into a fever dream of preppy rebellion with her AW25 collection, “2 Cool 4 School”. The Austrian designer’s signature whimsy met alien futurism in a riot of puffed sleeves, sequined mini skirts, and frilly 3D-flower schoolgirl blazers as if "Princess Diaries" was reimagined by a cyberpunk stylist.
