What made the presentation resonate was its refusal to flatten into a single mood. According to the house’s own notes and press coverage of the show, the collection drew inspiration from the diverse personalities Fournié encountered in Paris, from the northern suburbs to the center of the city, translating those everyday observations into a wardrobe of strong silhouettes, rich surfaces, and distinct attitudes.
Read MoreTakafumi Sekine’s vision was anchored in the idea that beauty can exist inside chaos, and that human imperfection holds its own kind of elegance. Rather than smoothing over contradiction, Meagratia leaned into it, using clothing to reflect the shifting nature of the heart and the uneasy grace of living with conflicting emotions.
Read MoreThis was the kind of collection that reminds us fashion can be clever without losing heart. Doublet has long been one of those labels that rewards close looking, and AW26 continued that approach with a concept that was both intelligent and oddly moving.
Read MoreThis was less about headlines and more about a mood, how clothing can make ordinary life feel slightly more ceremonial. If AW26 proves anything, it’s that SSSTEIN knows how to make coats that feel indispensable, the kind of garments people will reach for year after year.
Read MoreWhen Charles Jeffrey returns he does it in a way that asks you to lean in. For AW26, Loverboy’s collection, "Thistle", was less a runway and more a full on concert (that I did not want to end). A pagan punk rite staged deep in the bowels of Dover Street Market Paris, where canvases painted by the designer wrapped the space and friends moved through the room wearing clothes that felt equal parts armor and confession.
Read MoreThe brand explicitly channels Édouard Glissant’s ideas about creolization, making its work as much cultural project as fashion label, and positioning menswear as a site for hybridity and narrative.
Read MoreBeyond the runway theatrics, Nouchi announced LGN OF, a positioning of OnlyFans as an extension of the brand’s creative output and direct channel to fans. For him it’s about control and intimacy. LGN OF is a space to share erotic readings, ASMR and behind the scenes content in a way that traditional social media doesn’t allow.
Read MoreSYSTEM’s showing felt like another proof point in a maturing wave of Korean brands staking serious claims on the global menswear map. The creative direction credited in local coverage to the label’s Paris identity and its in house leadership leaned into a hybrid language of tailoring and underculture references, an approach that reads as both commercially savvy and thoughtfully attuned to the contemporary customer.
Read MoreThe show unfolded across four connected rooms, each evoking a city important to the house; Paris, New York, Los Angeles and Kyoto. The choreography made the collection feel lived in rather than staged. That architecture mirrored the clothes’ premise; garments conceived for movement, adaptability and a steady pace rather than theatrical single moment impact.
Read MorePresented in an open, in public shooting format rather than a traditional runway show, the collection felt intentionally unforced. That choice gave the clothes room to speak for themselves, highlighting texture, proportion, and construction while reinforcing OUEST Paris’s commitment to garments designed for real life rather than spectacle.
Read MoreVisually, the collection balanced bright color, technical fabrics, and precise tailoring with utilitarian details and modular styling. The result was a wardrobe that felt dynamic and transformable, as though each piece could be reworked, reshaped, or worn in multiple ways.
Read MoreCreative director Pierre François Valette framed the collection around a tension that feels especially relevant right now, the push and pull between design as an idea and clothing as a made object. That sense of resistance ran through the show, where each look seemed to underline the value of workmanship, local production, and an in house understanding of construction. In Valette’s world, tailoring is not merely a silhouette but a language of precision and care.
Read MoreInspired by the figure of the “soundmaker,” the collection explored the work of artists who have shaped, captured, distorted and experimented with sound across different eras. Études Studio traced that influence from John Cage’s minimalist philosophy to the emergence of Intelligent Dance Music in the early 1990s, creating a collection that felt both intellectually layered and visually coherent.
Read MoreStripes summon the seaside elegance of Italian lidos and retro swimsuits. On the skin, silver jewelry (cuffs, bangles, rings) captures the shimmer of water, evoking the simple joys of summer, soothing and luminous.
Read MoreThis SS26 lineup honors Xuly Bët's legacy as an upcycling trailblazer, transforming deadstock into on trend pieces long before eco trends hit the mainstream. Vibrant hues, eclectic prints, and sporty silhouettes flowed seamlessly, proving conscious consumerism can be fiercely fun and wardrobe revolutionary.
Read Moref you've ever wondered what it looks like for girls to get ready for a night out, now you don't have to wonder anymore. Paula Canovas del Vas brought that experience straight onto the streets of Paris, quite literally, parking her vignette truck outside a quintessentially Parisian café.
Read MoreWhen your friend invites you to a designer re-see, you absolutely MUST go. It is private, it is exclusive and it comes with delectable snacks and models that stay with you for as many pictures as your heart desires. There is no check-in anxiety at the entrance, no crowds to push through or seats to fight for. There is even a personal curation of the entire collection by a very knowledgeable Sasha. This absolutely is the most luxurious way to see a collection.
Read MoreAnd 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.
Read MoreFor 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.
