Delphine Bellini, CEO of Schiaparelli, has announced the house will showcase a never-before-seen exhibition at the V&A in London 

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London will stage the UK’s first ever exhibition dedicated to Schiaparelli from the 21st of March to the 1st of November 2026. Titled “Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art”, the exhibition will be held in the property’s Sainsbury Gallery and will chart the legacy of the Italian fashion house from its foundation in the 1920s to the present day.

Elsa Schiaparelli, known for her radical vision and surrealist collaborations, will be the focus of the show. New research conducted by V&A curators highlights her influence at the intersection of fashion and art. The exhibition will explore her creative partnerships with major 20th-century artists such as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Man Ray. Her groundbreaking garments, including the V&A’s own ‘Skeleton’ and ‘Tears’ dresses, will be on display alongside more than 200 objects, from garments and jewellery to furniture, sculpture and perfume.

The exhibition will also showcase little-seen pieces from private collections and mark the first time the London branch of Schiaparelli has been examined through the lens of its clientele and the founder’s personal involvement.

Schiaparelli’s artistic flair and ability to transform ordinary items into fashion statements will be presented alongside her contributions to what is now called merchandising. The show will trace how she redefined the boundaries between fashion, commercial success and creative innovation. Her influence on theatre and film will also be explored.

Today, under the creative direction of Daniel Roseberry, the house of Schiaparelli is based at 21 Place Vendôme in Paris. Roseberry’s bold sculptural designs will be part of the exhibition, which situates his work as both a continuation and reinterpretation of Schiaparelli’s vision. Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A, said the exhibition will celebrate “one of the most ingenious and daring designers in fashion history”.

Bellini said Elsa Schiaparelli’s “fearless imagination and radical vision” redefined the boundaries between fashion and art. She highlighted the exhibition as a celebration of the designer’s influence and a fusion of creativity and commerce.

Giorgio Armani revealed the Armani Privé Autumn/Winter 2025–26 Haute Couture collection this evening in Paris. Titled “Noir Séduisant” (Seductive Black), the collection centres on black as a versatile and expressive medium, embracing black’s full range of shades, textures and stylistic potential.

Armani, long known for his minimalist aesthetic, continues his exploration of black as both a graphic and symbolic force. The runway featured flowing dresses adorned with brightly coloured embroidered inserts, along with updated interpretations of tuxedos and tailcoats. Sculptural jackets were styled to be worn directly against the skin, while sharply tailored blazers were paired with white shirts, bow ties and slim-cut trousers. This combination reinforced the collection’s central tension between structure and softness.

Overall, Noir Séduisant continues Armani’s legacy of refining and reinterpreting couture codes. With its precise tailoring and careful attention to detail, the collection reinforces the idea that black, far from being a neutral or background shade, can be the main vehicle for elegance, seduction and artistic expression. 

The runway featured flowing dresses adorned with brightly coloured embroidered inserts, along with updated interpretations of tuxedos and tailcoats. Sculptural jackets were styled to be worn directly against the skin, while sharply tailored blazers were paired with white shirts, bow ties and slim-cut trousers. This combination reinforced the collection’s central tension between structure and softness.

Key garments included long, sinuous dresses made of velvet and metallic silks, which were further enhanced by sheer plastrons, oversized bows and bracelet-like cuffs. These elements gave the designs a sense of subdued splendour. Pavé crystals and gold linings were used sparingly but deliberately, introducing discreet flashes of light and contrast.

Armani’s use of texture was a defining feature of the collection. By layering velvet against metallic silks and using crystal detailing, the designer created what he describes as a “special luminosity” within the black palette. This contrast was central to the collection’s identity, showcasing how opposites can coexist harmoniously.

Italian jewellery house Pomellato showcased the Maison’s ‘Collezione 1967’ in Paris this afternoon. 

Featuring 75 masterworks, the collection draws from three distinct design decades: the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Each era is represented through distinct stylistic choices that collectively define the Maison’s identity. The 1970s are reflected in the “Chain Revolution”, where Pomellato reimagines chain jewellery through bold experimentation and functional reinvention. The 1980s chapter, “Breaking the Rules of Design”, is marked by avant-garde forms, vibrant colour and architectural daring. The 1990s are interpreted through “The Chromatic Vision”, a period focused on gemstone artistry and minimalist design.

According to Pomellato, ‘Collezione 1967’ is a bold statement of its brand ethos: that true luxury lies in the freedom to innovate, the courage to break rules and the power to transform tradition into contemporary expression. 

Standout pieces in the collection include the “Lagoon Bavarole”, composed of 47 irregular-cut green tourmalines forming a gradient cascade, and the “Asimmetrico Tanzanite”, which centres around a 55.96 carat irregular-cut tanzanite, requiring over 700 hours of craftsmanship. The “Zigzag Supreme” uses two deep-blue tanzanites in a geometric bezel setting, while “Rivière Zigzag” features over 47 carats of tourmalines or rubellites in asymmetric design.

Pomellato’s signature chain-making artistry is a central theme. The “Blue Chain Cascade” combines internal and external white diamond pavé-set chains, anchored by a rare 22.23 carat Ceylon sapphire. The “Yellow Diamond Moon” features a radiant 12 carat fancy light yellow diamond in an innovative single-setting construction.

Versatility is showcased in pieces like the “Precious Spring Ring”, which can transform from bracelet to pendant, and the “Precious Snap Hook”, which reinterprets 1990s design with architectural elements and convertible functionality.

For the collection, Pomellato used 100 percent responsible gold and collaborating with Milan-based goldsmiths. All pieces are handcrafted by artisans at Casa Pomellato’s Milanese headquarters.

CHANEL unveiled its Fall-Winter 2025/26 Haute Couture collection this morning in Paris, marking a return to natural inspiration and classic refinement.

The presentation took place in the Salon d’Honneur at the Grand Palais, with the show’s setting designed by Willo Perron. This season’s collection is described by the house as pastoral, understated and refined.

The Creation Studio, drawing on Gabrielle Chanel’s original vision of simplicity, crafted a series of pieces inspired by the English countryside and the Scottish moors. Winter classics dominate the collection, which features natural shades such as ecru, ivory, brown, green and black. These tones are paired with proportions borrowed from menswear, reinforcing the theme of freedom of movement.

Tweed, a signature fabric for CHANEL, appears in various reimagined forms. This includes a knitted version used for a white coatdress with embroidered braids, and suit jackets presented as jumpers. Two mohair suits are introduced in green or plum autumnal hues. A bouclé tweed mimics sheepskin for straight-cut coatdresses in black and white. These are styled with a skirt suit and long gilet, or a pair of ivory short trousers that are both painted and embroidered.

Feather detailing is used to simulate faux fur in combinations with trouser suits, long coats, an embroidered over-cape and a short blouson jacket. Another recurring motif is wheat ears, a long-held symbol of abundance for Gabrielle Chanel. These appear in chiffon flounces and are embroidered into a black and white strappy dress, including the neckline of the wedding dress in the collection.

Additional highlights include a pants ensemble with a chevron motif and multicoloured floral embroidery, a satin crêpe pinafore dress and a coat embellished with golden jewel-buttons. The closing looks incorporate sunlight-inspired finishes through gold and silver ennobled lace and an orange tones lamé flounced dress.

The Fall-Winter 2025/26 Haute Couture collection continues to build on Gabrielle Chanel’s legacy of dressing women in a way that combines practicality with elegance. According to the house, the collection celebrates wide-open spaces and nature, reinforcing the brand’s historical commitment to freedom of movement in women’s fashion.

Georges Hobeika presented its Couture Fall 2025 collection under the title The New Order, positioning the show as a response to global uncertainty and technological upheaval. The collection was framed not as an escape, but as a confrontation, aimed at reclaiming clarity through craftsmanship and elegance.

Hobeika’s narrative suggested a return to fundamentals: the discipline of drawing, mastery of technique and honouring traditional craft. The brand positioned this approach as a form of rebellion against disorder. Each design was described as a “conscious act of devotion” that brings clarity, with the house stating that every line, fold and stitch was intended to channel energy into garments that speak of “renaissance and transformation”.

As the house enters its third decade, the designers noted a renewed focus on ancestral elegance and craftsmanship. The collection emerged, in their words, from the “friction between self-doubt and determination” and from resistance to conventional constraints. The work aimed to connect the past and present through a shared pursuit of “transcendence and truth”.

The house also used the occasion to reflect on its 30-year history. Founded in Beirut, Lebanon, Georges Hobeika opened his atelier in 1995. The current collections are developed under the joint vision of Georges and his son Jad. The brand credits its longevity to the combination of exceptional materials and refined craftsmanship, with a consistent focus on conveying “strength, sensuality, and dignity”.

The Fall 2025 Couture show continued the house’s commitment to haute couture as a discipline grounded in technical mastery and creative intent, rather than trend or spectacle. By positioning the collection as a reflection of internal and external turbulence, Georges Hobeika reinforced its belief in the enduring value of craftsmanship in times of disruption.

Tony Ward Couture has officially presented the house’s Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2025/26 collection, titled “Entre Rêve et Regard”, marking a bold step into a realm where fashion intersects with theatre, performance and identity.

The collection is inspired by the worlds of masquerade and theatre, drawing heavily from the Baroque era while embracing modern craftsmanship. Tony Ward explores transformation through self-expression, reimagining historical opulence through a contemporary lens. This is couture that seeks not nostalgia, but reinvention.

Rich baroque embroidery, velvet devoré cut-outs and handmade 3D appliqués define this season’s silhouettes, designed to sculpt the body like armour. The focus is on silhouettes that are sharper and stronger, with volutes of embroidery and sculptural forms creating a sense of drama rather than decoration. Corsetry is used deliberately to support fluid and provocative shapes. Voluminous sleeves, metallic layering and sheer lace combine to form commanding, theatrical forms.

The collection moves beyond costume, presenting each look as a character. The pieces are not about concealment, but about revelation. The traditional mask, often symbolic of hiding, is reinterpreted as a mirror reflecting inner realities and identities. Vulnerability is presented not as a weakness but as a form of expression.

The colour palette shifts away from restraint. Cool blues and soft pinks are charged with new energy. They are contrasted with bold amber, deep crimson and grounding earth tones to create visual impact and emotional weight.

Ward’s designs suggest a world caught between dream and drama, where fashion becomes a communicative medium. Performance is central to this narrative, with every look treated as a persona, and every design detail forming part of a broader visual dialogue. The pieces are created to be both seen and felt, with materials clashing and colliding to heighten the theatrical effect.

Tony Ward Couture’s Fall-Winter 2025/26 line does not aim to merely honour the past but to reinterpret it in dialogue with the present. By framing fashion as a form of theatre and a statement of identity, the designer invites the audience to view each garment as a gesture or a symphony, where the stage becomes the self.

The house of Schiaparelli unveiled its Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection this morning in Paris, titled “Back to the Future”.

Creative director Daniel Roseberry presented a show that revisited Elsa Schiaparelli’s legacy through a modern lens, drawing on her radical approach to fashion in the early 20th century while challenging contemporary ideas of elegance and identity.

The collection reflects on a pivotal moment in 1940 when Elsa left Paris for New York, marking a personal and geographical shift as well as the end of a defining era in fashion. The show is rooted in the duality of that time; a city gripped by war but also on the brink of a new modern aesthetic. Roseberry positions this collection as a meditation on that period, where black-and-white visuals and ambiguity between past and future dominate.

Abandoning Schiaparelli’s signature corseted silhouettes, the new collection explores freedom of movement with experimental tailoring that defines the waist and hips in unconventional ways. The house’s familiar codes are approached obliquely: tailoring conceals keyhole and anatomical motifs, rendered in ceramic elements. Scarves are embroidered with Swiss dots and measuring tapes using techniques from Elsa’s era.

Materials play a central role, with Donegal wool and high-shine satines shaping sharply cut dinner suits and jackets embroidered in silver and iridescent threads. The Elsa jacket, a sharp-shouldered piece referencing archival designs, reappears in both woollen and eveningwear iterations, representing a new take on structured clothing that avoids corsetry.

The show’s surrealist language is consistent throughout, aligning with the house’s legacy. Pieces include a reinterpretation of the iconic “Apollo” cape in layers of metal starbursts and jewels, a “Squiggles and Wiggles” tulle dress adorned with shell-shaped embroidery, and coats encrusted with pearls and baroque details. The “Eyes Wide Open” dress features a motif hand-painted in silver, framed in resin and decorated with silk tulle and metallic threads.

Roseberry concludes by noting that while nostalgia can be comforting, it must be used to shape forward-thinking design. He recalls Elsa’s wartime contributions, including her delivery of 13,000 vitamin capsules to the French minister in Lisbon. The collection, according to Roseberry, is a reminder that “looking backwards is nothing if we can’t find something meaningful to bring into our future.”

Ahead of Paris Couture Week, French luxury leather goods house Moynat has opened a new boutique at 34 Avenue Montaigne, marking a significant expansion of its presence in the French capital. 

The new store is located in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement, and to commemorate the occasion, Moynat has launched an exclusive limited-edition capsule of tote bags from its M collection. Also at the new boutique, Moynat’s in-house painters will be offering customisation services. These exclusive hand-painted touches continue the brand’s tradition of bespoke craftsmanship.

To celebrate the launch, British artist Michael Samuels has also collaborated with the House to create a dedicated window installation. His sculpture reinterprets Moynat’s iconic trunks, offering a contemporary take on the brand’s travel legacy. 

This opening adds to Moynat’s existing Paris footprint, which includes its flagship at 348 Rue Saint-Honoré and corners at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche and Galeries Lafayette.

Founded in 1849 by Pauline Moynat, the Maison is recognised for its pioneering contributions to trunk-making and luxury travel goods.

Pauline Moynat was the only woman of her era to specialise in this craft. Key innovations from the brand’s history include the waterproof “English Trunk”, signature limousine trunks, patented locks, and early shoulder handbag designs. The now-iconic ‘M’ monogram first appeared in the early 1900s, hand-painted on canvas trunks and quickly became a hallmark of the House.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled a one-of-one Phantom Dentelle, a bespoke commission inspired by haute couture lace and created as a personal gift from a Middle Eastern client to their father. The unique motor car was developed through the marque’s Private Office in Dubai, an invitation-only commissioning space for clients in the region.

The design of Phantom Dentelle takes its cues from a handcrafted lace fabric woven using a rare ‘Leavers loom’, known for producing intricate three-dimensional floral patterns and pearl-like details. This textile inspired both the vehicle’s exterior and interior design features.

Inside the Phantom, the Gallery, a feature exclusive to the model and running the full width of the fascia, houses an embroidered artwork made up of over 160,000 stitches. Created using eight embroidery techniques, the piece incorporates tonal shades of Rose Gold, Sunrise and Oatmeal to echo the delicacy of petals and lace. A triple-run stitch forms a filigree base, while satin stitching and raised threadwork create a lustrous, layered effect.

Complementing the Gallery, the rear Waterfall section features an additional 70,000 stitches in a design that reflects the lace motif. Rose Gold speaker grilles subtly match the embroidery tones, while the interior is finished with Sunrise and Grace White leathers, embroidered ‘RR’ monograms, and Piano White veneer.

The exterior features a bespoke two-tone colour scheme. The lower body is finished in Crystal over Arctic White, while the upper body uses Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn, a hue exclusive to the commissioning client. A hand-painted coachline in Sunrise includes a branch motif with pearl-like ‘berries’, linking the exterior to the interior theme. The vehicle rides on 22-inch Fully Polished Disc wheels and features a Rose Gold Spirit of Ecstasy and matching treadplates.

Phantom Dentelle highlights Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke capabilities and reinforces the brand’s ongoing relationship with Middle Eastern clients through Private Office Dubai. The commission reflects a continued focus on translating personal inspirations into automotive design through handcrafted detail and materials.

Fuel consumption and emissions figures for the Phantom Dentelle are in line with the standard Phantom: WLTP combined fuel consumption is between 17.4 and 18.1 mpg, with CO₂ emissions ranging from 353 to 365 g/km.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle remains a one-off creation, underscoring the brand’s commitment to personalisation and craftsmanship.

Donatella Versace has revealed her final campaign as Chief Creative Officer for Versace.

Under the title “A Celebration of Freedom, Strength, Power.” The Fall-Winter 2025 campaign highlights the fashion house’s ongoing emphasis on individuality and rule-breaking confidence, with a focus on female strength, attitude and heart.

It features a notable line-up of iconic faces from the industry, including Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Valletta, Natasha Poly, Saskia de Brauw, Liu Wen, Mica Argañaraz, Anok Yai, Mila Van Eeten and Jacqui Hooper. Photographers and directors Mert and Marcus, long-time collaborators with the House, were behind the visuals.

According to Donatella Versace, the campaign was driven by energy and friendship. “The energy on this campaign was extraordinary. It was all about friendship, loyalty, and love. These images were created to celebrate the soul of the Versace woman. Her strength, her spirit, her attitude, and her heart. Every collection is a story, and this campaign is the story of Versace. Inspiring the present and anticipating the future,” she said.

The campaign bridges elements of the Fall-Winter 2025 collection and iconic archival designs. It features definitive Versace silhouettes alongside signature metallic mesh fabrics. The new Virtus bag is central to the collection’s identity, incorporating a bold V-emblem formed from metal and a semi-circular top handle, intended to echo the tension and duality within the Versace woman.

Stylist Jacob K helped to create the campaign’s aesthetic, with Lucia Pieroni handling makeup artistry and Paul Hanlon responsible for hair styling.

Versace stated that the collection and campaign aim to showcase the merging of hard and soft, strength and sensuality. The designs continue the brand’s tradition of blending boldness with innovation, while remaining anchored in its signature codes.

With this campaign, Versace reasserts its commitment to empowering women and celebrating authentic self-expression. It also marks a new chapter for the House, which continues to build on its legacy while looking firmly to the future.

Van Cleef & Arpels has launched its latest high jewellery collection, Fleurs d’Hawaï, drawing on the vitality of nature to showcase the Maison’s expertise in gemstone selection and craftsmanship.

The collection introduces a series of vibrant creations inspired by the hues of tropical gardens. It features earrings, rings, pendants and watches adorned with five varieties of fine stones: citrine, amethyst, rhodolite, aquamarine and peridot. Each stone is paired with rose, yellow or white gold, selected to enhance the colour of the gem.

According to the Maison, the collection revisits its historical emphasis on coloured gemstones. Each gem was chosen by the Stone Department for its intensity and uniformity of colour, as well as purity and cut. Pear-cut stones were favoured for their symmetry and luminosity. Careful matching ensures that the petals on each piece remain consistent in tone.

The jewellery’s construction involves precise craftsmanship. The gold mounts are made using the lost-wax casting technique and include openwork settings that let light pass through the stones. Each petal is slightly raised to create the illusion of motion, and a polished golden leaf adds a subtle asymmetry to the overall form. Seven diamonds are set within each piece, surrounded by golden beads shaped to reflect the form of the prong settings.

Among the highlights are large model rings in a range of colourways: rose gold with rhodolites and diamonds; yellow gold with citrines or amethysts; and white gold with aquamarines. Earrings and pendants also appear in rose gold with rhodolites.

The Fleurs d’Hawaï line further includes three secret watches. Each one features a rotating motif concealing the watch dial. The floral dial is crafted from twelve pear-cut stones and set against white mother-of-pearl, with a pear-cut diamond marking 12 o’clock. Round diamonds edge the display. The motif can be detached and worn as a bracelet, clip or pendant.

The Maison has emphasised both visual harmony and technical precision throughout the range. Each piece is designed to embody a combination of elegance, colour and craftsmanship, reflecting Van Cleef & Arpels’ longstanding dedication to high jewellery.

Tiffany & Co. has relaunched its Atlas watch collection for 2025, unveiling a modernised design and advanced technical features while maintaining the timepiece’s historical significance and recognisable aesthetic.

Originally introduced in 1983, the Atlas watch pays tribute to the Atlas clock installed by Charles Lewis Tiffany above the brand’s original store at 550 Broadway, New York, in 1853. This public timepiece, supported by a statue of the Greek titan Atlas, became an early landmark of the city. Both the clock and statue now reside at the company’s flagship location at 727 Fifth Avenue.

The new Atlas collection is offered in three sizes—29 mm, 34 mm and 38 mm—with dial colours including Tiffany Blue® and silver. A prominent design feature is the dial’s bold Roman numerals and sector-style layout, enhanced by a bevelled outer ring to create visual depth. Each watch is housed in a steel case, with a choice of an integrated bracelet or, for the 38 mm model, a brown calf leather strap. Diamond-set bezels are also available on the 29 mm and 34 mm versions.

The 29 mm model is powered by a solar movement developed with Swiss manufacturer La Joux-Perret. A two-minute exposure to sunlight enables 24 hours of runtime, while four hours of indoor lighting is sufficient for the same. When fully charged, it offers a power reserve of up to eight months.

The larger 34 mm and 38 mm models feature self-winding Swiss mechanical movements with a 50-hour power reserve and an additional seconds display. These are a marked advancement over the quartz movements used in earlier editions.

All models now offer a water resistance of 10 ATM, double that of the previous generation. Design details include a faceted crown with a Tiffany Blue® disc, engraved Roman numerals on the caseback matching those of the original Atlas clock, and contrasting satin and polished finishes across the case, bracelet and lugs.

The new Atlas range underscores Tiffany & Co.’s commitment to blending heritage with innovation, reaffirming the brand’s position in contemporary watchmaking. Each model is Swiss-made and backed by a five-year international warranty.

Ferrari has officially unveiled the Amalfi, a new front-mid-engine V8 2+ coupé that replaces the Ferrari Roma. 

The launch introduces a model that combines high performance with everyday versatility, reaffirming Ferrari’s position in the luxury grand touring segment.

At its heart is a 640 cv twin-turbo V8 engine derived from the F154 family, known for its international acclaim. The power unit delivers a specific output of 166 cv/l and enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in 9.0 seconds. The eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, enhanced for smoother and faster gear changes, contributes to a power-to-weight ratio of 2.29 kg/cv, the best in its class.

Aerodynamic improvements include a rear active spoiler with three configurations and vortex generators integrated into the front splitter. These features work together to enhance stability, particularly at high speeds or during rapid cornering and braking.

The Amalfi adopts a clean, sculpted design that evolves the aesthetic language of the Roma. A long, contoured bonnet and wide rear diffuser convey a sense of power and refinement. The new launch colour, Verde Costiera, takes inspiration from the Amalfi Coast and highlights the vehicle’s flowing lines.

Inside, the cabin features a dual-cockpit layout with a fully digital HMI system. Three screens—a 15.6-inch instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch central display, and an 8.8-inch passenger display—enable intuitive control and engagement. The new steering wheel incorporates physical buttons and a tactile aluminium start button, returning to traditional design elements.

Advanced technologies include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, wireless smartphone charging, and the MyFerrari Connect app for remote monitoring. An optional Burmester premium audio system with 14 speakers and 1,200 watts of output enhances the onboard experience.

Safety and assistance systems include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Detection, and more. A front lifter system is also available, enabling the car to clear obstacles up to 35 km/h.

The Ferrari Amalfi is supported by the brand’s seven-year Genuine Maintenance programme, covering all regular servicing and offered globally across Ferrari’s official dealership network.

This new model reinforces Ferrari’s approach to blending elegance with cutting-edge performance and engineering, offering a grand tourer that is as usable as it is thrilling.

QASIMI has revealed its Spring Summer 2026 collection during Milan Fashion Week, under the creative direction of Hoor Al-Qasimi.

The presentation marks both the brand’s 10th anniversary and its 11th seasonal collection guided by Hoor, who draws continued inspiration from the late founder, Khalid Al Qasimi.

Rooted in the late founder’s values, the SS26 collection explores themes of dialogue, cross-cultural exchange and duality. These are reflected in the blend of silhouettes, materials and ideas that span diverse geographies and histories. QASIMI maintains its signature palette of browns, beiges, blacks and sandy tones, while introducing contrasting materials and structured designs.

For womenswear, the collection brings hybrid tailoring through modular jackets and structured skirts. Memory nylon is central to the season, used in jackets and trousers. The fabric records creases that fade over time, serving as a metaphor for lived experience and the impermanence of memory. Its distressed and tactile qualities also reference Khalid Al Qasimi’s early design language.

Layering is key across the collection, with stacked shirts reflecting the accumulation of experience. The brand revisits its utilitarian roots with modular garments, functional pockets and early check motifs from its archive, reinterpreted with a modern sensibility.

As part of its seasonal collaboration with artists, this collection features work with London-based Lebanese artist Dala Nasser. Her process-driven approach and connection to place influence the collection’s raw edges, loose threads and doodle embroidery. These elements echo her work with ancient Lebanese sites and convey a poetic language of decay through frayed hems and distressed finishes.

Accessories build further on the theme of transformation and hybridity. Crocheted keychains appear as fused animal forms, symbolising blended origins and shifting identities. Surplus materials are also incorporated, reinforcing QASIMI’s circular model of luxury and its commitment to engaging with existing resources and histories.

The brand describes the SS26 offering as a meditation on place, transformation and coexistence.

Zuhair Murad has released his Ready-to-Wear Resort 2026 collection under the theme “Parfums d’Ailleurs”, presenting a vision rooted in cultural synthesis between East and West.

The collection draws on centuries of shared artistic heritage, translating these influences into a modern fashion context.

The designer positions Resort 2026 as a universe where civilisations intersect through textures, colours and emotional resonance. The collection reflects a cultural dialogue nourished by mutual fascination, referencing orientalist paintings and opulent décors reminiscent of legendary palaces.

At the core of the collection is a tribute to Indian palaces, described as “a waking dream” that evokes the splendour of maharajahs and the elegance of royal traditions. The line incorporates precious embroideries, sparkling jewels and luxurious fabrics. These elements enhance a mythologised grandeur while maintaining a contemporary edge through refined silhouettes.

The collection also integrates a distinctly English influence, introducing a layer of nostalgic softness. This aesthetic counterbalance highlights Murad’s intention to unite the mystical and the modern, bringing together historical inspiration with a focus on contemporary beauty.

Details such as gilded accents, radiant laminations and shimmering adornments feature throughout, elevating the visual and tactile richness of the pieces. The collection aims to express a duality where simple cuts are contrasted with the sensory depth of Eastern design. Shapes vary from sculptural to airy, presenting what the house describes as “a multifaceted femininity” that is at once sensual, sovereign and enigmatic.

Swiss watchmaker ZENITH has introduced a new blue-dial variant of its CHRONOMASTER Original, a timepiece that pays homage to the iconic Zenith A386. 

First released in 1969, the A386 was among the first watches to feature the revolutionary El Primero calibre, and the new release continues that legacy with modern enhancements.

The latest CHRONOMASTER Original retains the design DNA of its predecessor while incorporating the El Primero 3600 movement, a 21st-century evolution of the original. The automatic chronograph operates at a frequency of 5 Hertz, enabling precise measurements to 1/10th of a second. The central chronograph seconds hand completes a full rotation every 10 seconds, compared to the standard 60, offering improved clarity and precision. The movement includes a stop-seconds mechanism and provides an extended power reserve of 60 hours. A sapphire case back showcases the internal architecture, including the column wheel and open rotor engraved with ZENITH’s five-pointed star.

The new edition introduces a striking blue dial, incorporating ZENITH’s emblematic tricolour subdials — a signature of the brand’s chronographs since 1969. The overlapping subdials maintain the grey, dark grey and blue colour scheme of the original A386. The dial also features a silver-toned 1/10th of a second chapter ring, baton-style markers, and hands designed for optimal legibility.

The case of the watch measures 38mm and is made of stainless steel. It mirrors the proportions and silhouette of the original A386, with a round, bezel-less design and pump-style pushers. The polished and brushed surfaces offer a modern finish, and the watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM.

Buyers will have the option of two strap configurations: a blue calfskin leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching or a 3-link stainless steel bracelet. Both options include a folding clasp.

The new CHRONOMASTER Original with blue dial is now available at ZENITH boutiques globally, both in-store and online, as well as through authorised retailers.

This launch reinforces ZENITH’s position as a leading brand in precision watchmaking by offering a contemporary reinterpretation of one of its most influential designs.

Just in time for the summer travel season, RIMOWA has announced the launch of a new colourway, Bronze, in its Original collection of aluminium suitcases.

 Known for its longstanding reputation among discerning travellers, the German Maison is expanding its distinguished range with this addition.

The Bronze edition of the RIMOWA Original features a rich tone that combines elements of toasted gold, orange and red. It will be available in three formats: Cabin, Check-In L and Trunk Plus. As with previous editions, the cases are designed with durability and resilience in mind. The Bronze finish, created using a unique anodisation technique, embeds vibrant pigments directly onto the aluminium surface, resulting in a uniform and long-lasting appearance.

RIMOWA highlights the versatility of bronze as a material, noting its application in everything from coins to large-scale sculptures. This association with art and history is reflected in the promotional material for the launch, which includes a short film showing an art auction where a mystery bronze sculpture becomes the centre of competitive bidding. The piece is eventually revealed to be a familiar figure from the art world.

All three models in the Bronze collection incorporate RIMOWA’s standard engineering features. These include a stage-free telescopic handle, Multi-Wheel system for smooth mobility, and TSA-approved locks.

Each detail is colour-matched to the bronze theme, maintaining consistency in design. The products also come with RIMOWA’s lifetime guarantee as part of the seasonal Original collection.

The collection is available now at select retailers and online via the house’s official website.

Maison Valentino has launched the third chapter in its trilogy of campaigns celebrating its signature handbags. The latest release spotlights the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar bag and debuts today.

The campaign, conceived by Creative Director Alessandro Michele and photographed by Drew Vickers, features a series of cinematic black-and-white images that merge mystery with refinement. Set against an undefined urban backdrop, the visuals depict a woman in motion, her face obscured by windswept hair or intentionally hidden behind the Viva Superstar bag. The anonymous protagonist appears to be eluding observation, creating an atmosphere of magnetic and enigmatic elegance.

With its distinctive oversized VLogo, the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar collection continues to draw from the artistic and retro spirit of the 1970s. This season introduces a striking new red and black colourway, joining two existing bicolour options: butter white with black, and black with brown. The core designs are also reimagined in updated textures, including a luxurious skin variation.

Functionality is central to the line’s evolution, with two new formats added: a compact crossbody camera bag, which includes both chain and leather shoulder straps, and a belt bag. The latter can also be worn as a body or shoulder bag, thanks to an adjustable chain, offering increased versatility.

These new additions follow the small duffle bag introduced during the Spring/Summer 2025 Pavillon des Folies collection, further expanding the line’s adaptable aesthetic.

For the summer season, Valentino has also launched the Viva Superstar Crochet line. This new direction introduces three raffia crochet totes in large, medium and small sizes. Each piece is handmade and features an embroidered VLogo, preserving the brand’s signature identity in a lighter, more tactile form suited to warmer months.

The Viva Superstar campaign reflects Valentino’s continued emphasis on craftsmanship and distinctive design. Since his appointment in April 2024, Alessandro Michele has brought a renewed vision to the house, integrating historical codes with fresh creative direction.

Renowned British shoemaker John Lobb today unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week, marking a confident evolution of the brand’s identity while maintaining strong ties to its heritage. 

The exhibition highlights a range of footwear designed to blend classic craftsmanship with modern sensibilities, with themes of casual elegance and British rock influence running throughout.

The collection reinforces core silhouettes with updates aimed at today’s lifestyle. The Smith Single Buckle leads the casual segment, introducing an oval buckle and thick sole inspired by the rock ’n’ roll spirit of the 1980s. It retains the original Smith’s apron and binding construction while incorporating practical elements for daily use. A tri-colour edition and new suede animations will expand this narrative.

John Lobb also reinterprets its iconic styles with new materials and finishes. To mark the 75th anniversary of the Lopez loafer, the brand introduces the Lopez Ring. This updated version includes an oval metal jewel detail and a sleek construction, enhancing its elegant appeal while retaining traditional binding methods. Phillip II Oval offers a lighter, refreshed take on classic broguing, with perforations and a reworked punch that maintain its formal structure.

The collection introduces a deep, versatile new Carbon shade across suede options, visible on both William New Standard and Lopez. New stitching techniques bring clarity and refinement to the updated silhouettes.

The new Salford shoe is positioned as a standout addition to the prestige line, combining luxurious comfort with a rock-chic edge. Crafted on the 7000 last, it includes an innovative elastic construction and hidden elastic counter for ease of wear. The hybrid design stays true to John Lobb’s craftsmanship while enhancing wearability.

Classic models are also updated. The Tyne II is adapted to modern needs with a new supple leather and a repairable sole, offering year-round versatility and comfort. In summer wear, the Pace Oval introduces a reimagined version of the Pace loafer, featuring oval perforations and design cues drawn from driving gloves and sports car interiors.

The John Lobb Spring/Summer 2026 collection will be available in-store and online at johnlobb.com from December 2025.

The launch took place in the galleries and gardens of the Domaine National du Palais Royal. In keeping with British tradition, guests were served scones with butter, ice-cream and tea-time sandwiches.

The Hermès Spring-Summer 2026 menswear collection was revealed at the Palais d’Iéna in Paris this weekend. 

Designed with a sharp focus on technical mastery the collection explores summer in the city through structured silhouettes, tactile materials, and a muted yet complex palette.

Textures and fabrications are central to the offering. Openwork leather appears throughout, used to sculpt shoulders, pant stripes, and entire shirts that play with air and transparency. Double saddle-like topstitching and ribbing offer signature detailing. There is a clear blurring of categories: shirt-jackets, hybrid jackets neither quite blousons nor windbreakers, and ample cropped trousers styled with rope-soled sandals.

The collection is characterised by straight lines, sharp angles, and precise contours. It employs an urban colour scheme that shifts between natural tones like kraft, caramel, coffee and putty, and more vibrant accents such as mint green, intense vanilla, and deep burgundy. Absent is black, replaced by greys described as the hue of “still-warm stones”.

The eveningwear maintains the tactile narrative. Highlights include a double-breasted shantung jacket, silk twill shirts, and cotton-silk blends with pleated details. Materials range from technical canvas and spinnaker to washed silk, compact cotton poplin, crepe cotton serge, and Étrivière lambskin.

Accessories support the urban nomad theme. These include calfskin and rope sandals, silk twill bandanas, and a range of bags such as the Bel-il, Étrivière Shopping, and Garden Party Voyage, crafted in printed H canvas and various leathers. Jewellery includes silver and white gold rings and bracelets in forms such as Clou de forge, Clou d’H and Boucle Sellier, alongside braided leather pieces with palladium-finish metals.

Jonathan Anderson presented his first collection for Dior at the Hôtel national des Invalides in Paris, marking a significant new chapter for the French fashion house. 

The Summer 2026 collection reflects Anderson’s approach to redefining Dior’s codes through a dialogue between history, tailoring and youthful spontaneity.

Anderson, known for his intellectual take on design, explored the language of Dior with a focus on formality and reinvention. The collection introduced sharply tailored frockcoats and tweed Bar jackets alongside archival haute couture silhouettes originally created by Christian Dior. These historic elements reappeared notably in the form of contemporary cargo shorts.

Traditional tuxedo structures were paired with slouchy denim, creating a deliberate contrast between precision and ease. French embroidery from the 18th and 19th centuries appeared across pullovers and trainers, underscoring the collection’s historical influences. Despite these references, the show emphasised informality and empathy, presenting style as a vehicle for redefined elegance.

The collection’s debut was set against the backdrop of a custom-built space inspired by the velvet-lined galleries of the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. Two still life paintings by 18th-century French artist Jean Siméon Chardin were displayed on the walls. The works were loaned specifically for the event by the Musée du Louvre and the National Galleries of Scotland, adding cultural depth to the presentation.

Opening today, the show established Anderson’s direction for Dior: one rooted in heritage but shaped by a contemporary sensibility. The Summer 2026 collection positions empathy, youth and contrast at the centre of the house’s evolving identity.

Louis Vuitton opens the doors today to “The Louis”, a new flagship space in central Shanghai that fuses retail, culture and cuisine within a striking, ship-inspired structure.

Located on Wujiang Road in the city’s central business district, the venue is a modern homage to both Shanghai’s maritime legacy and Louis Vuitton’s heritage in travel.

Designed to resemble a life-sized vessel, “The Louis” incorporates a retail space, Le Café Louis Vuitton, and the new “Visionary Journeys” exhibition. The project draws on the brand’s 19th-century origins in crafting custom trunks for sea travel and reflects Shanghai’s evolution as a key global port since the 6th century.

The exterior of “The Louis” evokes nautical aesthetics, from its metallic monogram hull to its stacked levels echoing historic luggage. Inside, visitors can explore a curated retail selection including leather goods, accessories and ready-to-wear for men and women. The space also includes personalisation services with Shanghai-themed stamps.

On the third floor, Le Café Louis Vuitton offers an East-meets-West dining experience. Chefs Leonardo Zambrino and Zoe Zhou present a menu combining culinary signatures with Shanghai-specific creations. Dishes include “Monogram Raviolis” inspired by jiaozis, “Louis Hao” seabream carpaccio, and desserts such as Peach Charlotte with jasmine tea.

The centrepiece of the new location is the “Visionary Journeys” exhibition, spread over two floors. Designed by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, it explores Louis Vuitton’s legacy through themes of travel, craftsmanship, fashion and innovation. The entrance features the “Trunkscape”, an immersive archway of monogrammed trunks first seen in Bangkok and Osaka.

The exhibition includes a dual timeline of the House’s Asnières roots and maritime milestones, a room dedicated to historic and whimsical travel designs, and displays of fragrance, sport, literature and fashion. Highlights include Ernest Hemingway’s custom Library Trunk, Olympic trophy cases, and heritage handbags like the Alma and Speedy, reinterpreted through the lens of past and present creative directors.

Visitors can also observe live demonstrations of the brand’s craftsmanship in the workshop section, where artisans use tools like “Louise” and “Louisette” to maintain quality standards.

Admission to “The Louis” is complimentary, with registration available via the “My LV” WeChat mini programme. Opening hours are 10:00 to 22:00 daily at HKRI Taikoo Hui, No. 789 West Nanjing Road, Shanghai.

Italian house ETRO has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection. The maison’s looks for the new season are focused on artisanal craftsmanship and a vision of poetic nomadism.

Fluidity defines the silhouette, with garments designed in light, weightless fabrics such as linen, silk, and jersey. Tailoring remains precise but relaxed, supporting comfort and movement. Meanwhile, outerwear, including coats and robes, incorporates tonal florals and faded stripe patterns, combined with easy trousers to produce a refined yet casual style. 

The palette ranges from soft and delicate tones to more vibrant shades, including sage green, powder pink, periwinkle and ochre. The use of paisley remains prominent, described as a continuous thread throughout the collection and symbolising the independent and free-spirited character ETRO seeks to represent.

Accessories serve both style and function. Highlights include large Arnica fabric bags for travel, leather loafers bearing the Pegasus emblem, and lightweight espadrilles and boat shoes designed for versatility and ease.

Embroidered pyjamas are styled for both home and outdoor wear, reflecting a blurring of private and public fashion codes.

Each piece in the collection is designed to tell a story, with fabrics and prints inviting interpretation and exploration. The garments are aimed at a man who is cultured, free and constantly in motion, according to the brand.

Ferrari has announced its entry into the world of sailing with the launch of Hypersail, a pioneering 100-foot flying monohull yacht that merges the brand’s racing legacy with maritime innovation. 

The vessel, currently under construction in Italy, is set to launch and begin sea trials in 2026.

Hypersail marks a significant technological breakthrough, being the first yacht of its size to be entirely energy self-sufficient and designed to fly on three points of contact. The innovative design was led by renowned French naval architect Guillaume Verdier, whose use of a canting keel to support one of the yacht’s foils, complemented by a rudder foil and two alternating lateral foils, represents a major advance in ocean racing design.

The project is spearheaded by Team Principal Giovanni Soldini and aims to serve as a research and development platform for offshore sailing. Ferrari’s internal team is working in close collaboration with nautical specialists throughout every stage of the design, engineering and testing process.

Ferrari Chairman John Elkann described Hypersail as “a new challenge that pushes us to go beyond our boundaries and expand our technological horizons”. He added that the yacht’s endurance-focused design draws directly from Ferrari’s Hypercar heritage, referencing the marque’s success in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Soldini said he was “happy and honoured” to lead the initiative, describing the project as “an exciting challenge, backed by a truly unique team that brings together Ferrari’s excellence and the expertise of specialists in ocean sailing design”. He emphasised the importance of balancing extreme performance with maximum reliability, especially given the unpredictable conditions at sea.

Hypersail also embodies Ferrari’s open innovation approach, fostering two-way technological exchange between the automotive and nautical sectors. The yacht will incorporate a flight control system derived from Ferrari’s experience in car aerodynamics and structural engineering. The development effort has already resulted in nine patent filings, with six more in progress.

Critically, the yacht will operate without a combustion engine, relying solely on solar, wind and kinetic energy. Every on-board system, from foil controls to navigation instruments, must function autonomously, even during long offshore stretches with no external support.

The Hypersail initiative signals Ferrari’s intent to lead in sustainable high-performance design, both on land and at sea.
