Unveiled on the 22 October 2025 following Piccioli’s runway debut as creative director, the campaign marks a clear shift in tone for Balenciaga. Known for his poetic approach to design, Piccioli brings warmth and humanity to a brand long associated with architectural rigour and subversive cool. Captured by British photographer David Sims, the new campaign feels both casual and luxurious, offering a glimpse into a house entering a new emotional era.

Piccioli took over Balenciaga from Demna, whose tenure was marked by bold silhouettes and a provocative approach to contemporary fashion. Piccioli’s debut emphasises a delicate, more intimate aesthetic, focusing on fluid designs and personal storytelling while maintaining the house’s refined heritage.

Models Mona Tougaard and Sandra Murray embody this transformation. Captured inside the 18th-century Hôtel de Maisons Pozzo di Borgo in Paris, they sit framed by natural light, surrounded by the soft grandeur of the space. The mood is unforced, spontaneous, and sincere, a study in modern femininity defined by ease rather than excess.

Piccioli’s silhouettes reflect this new energy. They are fluid yet structured, delicate yet commanding. The clothes invite movement and closeness, speaking to a vision of beauty rooted in emotion and authenticity. His Balenciaga woman is not styled to perfection but seen as she is, real, graceful, and self-possessed.

The campaign also reaffirms two of the house’s enduring icons, the Rodeo and Le City bags. Symbols of Balenciaga’s dual identity, they balance practicality with allure and connect the brand’s past innovations to Piccioli’s forward-looking sensibility.

With this first chapter, Piccioli sets the tone for a Balenciaga that values sincerity over spectacle. Through light, texture, and human presence, he redefines what luxury looks like today: not distant or untouchable, but quietly powerful, a celebration of softness as strength.

Their three-decade-long friendship began in 1998, when they reimagined Puma’s famed football lace-ups. At the time, it was impossible to predict that this redesign of an elevated classic would spark a multi-year collaboration but together, the brands managed to blend the worlds of sport and luxury through their shared values of modernity and innovation.

Today, this journey continues with the revival of the King Avanti football silhouette. Emphasising craftsmanship, the clean stitched lines of the trainer add texture and depth to a simple design. The navy blue base contrasts sharply with Puma’s signature white stripe and large distinctive flap. A gold foil Jil Sander logo adds a subtle touch of style without sacrificing practicality.

Under Simone Bellotti’s direction, Jil Sander refines its minimalist legacy through heightened simplification, finding meaning in restraint and elegance in precision. That same philosophy shapes the latest collaboration with Puma, the King Avanti sneaker, a sleek fusion of sport and sophistication.

This is only the beginning of the drop, with a second release set for March 2026, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter of this iconic collaboration.

Soft, contrasting tones define the campaign. Frosted pink, luminous ecru, pine green, deep navy, and iridescent black shape a palette that feels both gentle and powerful. A pink taffeta puffer jacket paired with matching trousers and a sheepskin trapper hat creates a look that feels enveloping and warm. A multicoloured navy cardigan comes alive beside dark technical trousers. A green and purple tweed suit reinterprets Chanel’s classic codes, while an ecru cashmere sweater with a black bow adds a note of quiet romance.

There is also a beige mohair jacket and skirt set, pared back yet full of character, and a two-tone puffer jacket built for the slopes. The black and white looks stand out for their graphic precision, alternating between quilted sweaters and coated trousers. One particularly festive piece features delicate firework motifs embroidered across soft cashmere.

Accessories add a sense of play and movement. Earmuffs, pocket belts, velvet-effect nylon bags, and sunglasses add a touch of versatility to each ensemble. Faux pony and rubber ankle boots meet sheepskin boots tied with small velvet bows, bringing texture and charm to every step.

Nana Komatsu is a Japanese actress and model, known for starring in films such as The World Of Kanako. Her interpretation of the collection is full of curiosity and lightness. She brings a sense of freedom to each look, combining unexpected pieces and creating new expressions of style. Every outfit feels like an opportunity to experiment and move without constraint.

The project revisits a story that began in 1984, when founder Massimo Osti first introduced denim to the Stone Island collection. By the early 2000s, under designer Paul Harvey, the material had earned its own identity within the brand. Now, over two decades later, Stone Island returns to its roots while pushing denim into new territory.

_{Stone Island Denim Capsule}

The capsule offers an impressive range of outerwear, overshirts, utility vests, and jeans in a mix of traditional and futuristic fabrics. Polypropylene Denim, David Light Indigo-TC, and Micro Corduroy sit alongside raw Japanese selvedge denim, creating a collection that feels both industrial and refined. Each piece carries a dedicated black badge with a blue compass logo and nickel shank buttons, custom-made to mark this new chapter.

Actor Alessandro Borghi brings attitude and effortless style to the campaign in the Indigo Micro Corduroy Bomber Jacket. Made from finely ribbed corduroy woven with indigo-dyed cotton and white polyester, the jacket takes a fabric usually linked to countryside nostalgia and gives it an urban edge.

It’s lightly padded, finished with ribbed cuffs and hem, and fastened with a concealed two-way zip. The rinsed treatment gives it depth and character, while the signature badge anchors it firmly in Stone Island’s visual world.

Meanwhile, designer Clint 419 steps out in the Indigo Polypropylene Denim Coach Jacket, made from a 14oz denim tela woven that looks classic but feels unexpectedly light. The secret lies in polypropylene, one of the lightest fibers on earth. The result is a garment that keeps its structured denim appearance but weighs far less. With patch chest pockets, metal hardware, and discreet star embroidery on the cuff, it’s a study in functional precision.

STONE ISLAND DENIM RESEARCH feels both familiar and futuristic, a meeting point between heritage and experiment. It’s not just denim. It’s denim re-engineered.

The film has already been praised for its striking costume design. Bold blue feathers work as bold head pieces and adorn dresses of silk and linen, while blue-gemmed necklaces glint as symbols of old-money wealth and legacy. Costume designer Kate Hawley has clearly emphasised decadence to help tell the story, and Tiffany & Co. provides the perfect complement. The brand’s iconic jewellery reinforces the film’s visual narrative, bringing glamour, history, and artistry to every scene.

This collaboration brings together Tiffany & Co.’s heritage of craftsmanship with del Toro’s cinematic imagination. A five-minute feature offers behind-the-scenes insight into how the House’s jewellery archives and historical objects were woven seamlessly into the film’s creative vision. Guillermo del Toro, Kate Hawley, actress Mia Goth, and Tiffany & Co.’s Vice President and Creative Director, Christopher Young, all share their perspectives in the feature, highlighting the artistry and precision that make Tiffany & Co. a natural fit for the story.

Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton has long accompanied travellers with trunks and accessories that balance refinement and practicality. By the early 20th century, Gaston-Louis Vuitton, grandson of the founder, infused his artistic vision into the House’s DNA. He infused high-culture into the design house by initiating collaborations with leading designers and artists. His efforts culminated in Louis Vuitton’s acclaimed presence at the 1925 Paris fair, now reimagined through this immersive presentation.

_{Louis Vuitton Art Deco}

Spanning eight rooms, the exhibition showcases over 300 heritage objects, many of which have never been seen by the public before. From early collaborations with Pierre-Émile Legrain to dazzling Art Deco handbags, visitors encounter a panorama of innovation, beauty, and craftsmanship.

Highlights include the reconstruction of Vuitton’s original 1925 exhibition stand, historic automobiles fitted with Vuitton trunks, and beauty cases once owned by musicians and couturiers. Each gallery underscores how Art Deco shaped not only the House’s aesthetic but also its broader identity.

The exhibition also traces the origins of La Beauté Louis Vuitton, the House’s newest métier launched in August 2025. Beauty trunks, vanity cases, and perfume collaborations reveal how Gaston-Louis expanded beyond luggage to transform personal rituals into works of art.

Visitors are invited to complete the experience at Le Café Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton, overlooking the Seine. With signature dishes such as the Monogram ravioli and Chocolate Entremets, the café extends the spirit of creativity into taste.

This show brings together two worlds with a KNWLS x Nike collaboration. This partnership introduces a dynamic design language that blends performance with style, positioning the collection firmly within the growing athleisure movement.

Drawing on Nike’s heritage of sport and KNWLS’ forward-thinking aesthetic, the pieces feel both functional and refined. Bodysuits, offered in both long and short cuts, are crafted from flexible jersey that moves seamlessly with the body, ensuring a sculpted silhouette that transitions effortlessly from the gym to the club.

The collection also marks KNWLS’ third collaboration with TENCEL as a materials partner. Cellulose fibre is used for jersey button-down dresses and leggings, each elevated through KNWLS’ signature ruched draping. Coming in a subtle earthy colour palette of greys, browns and greens, the garments look as if they have been painted and dipped in luminous watercolours.

Through corseted tops, a fundamental for the KNWLS brand, they express meticulous attention to detail. Exposed seems contrast against colours, boning and exposed seams can be seen adding structure to otherwise loose garments. Through this structured detailing, oversized jackets shift into garments that highlight the architecture of a women’s body.

Matching prints sets are continually present throughout the collection. They have been designed in various forms like a cropped trench coat in a with a matching miniskirt. One trouser set, with a tan detailing and a slight flared trousers appears to be pulled out of a dystopian western, set in the near future. This occupation of timeless-ness is constant throughout the collection, as victorian ruffled high neck collars, and washed muted jerseys blend modernity and contemporary design together.

Styled with each look, the shoes elegantly allow our KNWLS women to cross and climb any challenge my may face. Through corsetry, Nike silhouettes are refreshed into something entirely new. Drawing inspiration from KNWLS previous shoe designs, that shoe pulling lacing under and into the back of the heel. A sharp point at the toe adds edge to the shoe, making it an accessory of self-defence.

It is made clear that this collection is a step forward for the KNWLS brand. One that has ensured they will remain as a source of inspiration for women who want to be their best selves.

Best known for being a brand that explores fashion as both experience and performance, often in unconventional ways but globally successful, the brand was awarded the BFC Fashion Trust in 2025. Originally gaining brand recognition and fame for its work with latex, HARRI pushed boundaries with its craft, striking three-dimensional forms.

Yet, this collection takes a different route, aiming to make the clothes more liveable. The collection, named Museumwear, offers a more subtle vision and a debut into ready-to-wear.

Across a myriad of jackets, vests, and trousers, the pleasure of wearing HARRI is still maintained through its signature and identifiable latex. The jackets came in rich shades of brown and deep black, grounding the collection in wearability, while flashes of silver and a mint-blue cropped style pushed latex into unexpected territory, striking a balance between experimentation and function.

Denim two-pieces and jeans broke up the latex-led garments, softening the overall mood with a more casual energy. The denim is often treated with printed patterns and geometric washes, adding depth and a tactile edge to the fabric.

Chic, boxy wide-leg styles are paired with tailored latex jackets, giving the ensembles a streetwear sharpness that feels both grounded and futuristic. This interplay of latex sheen against patterned denim reinforces HARRI’s ability to merge performance with practicality, without losing its bold identity.

What catches the eye most are the bags, designed to brighten the collection and spark conversation. Used consistently, they add pops of colour and texture, punctuating darker, stronger silhouettes with moments of playfulness—like a tiny yellow bag styled with a huge boxy top. One design detail sees the bags crafted from beaded vests, a technique also applied to the garments themselves, creating a sense of continuity between accessory and clothing.

This new direction does not erase the brand’s identity. Elements of bold form remain, from inflated latex square shoulders—reminiscent of an American football uniform—to styled black shiny trousers that temper the sage-green top, and twin models in sculptural hoodies. Like folded bat wings, pillars protrude from the shoulders with dramatic force. These designs recall earlier collections where geometry was at the forefront.

This collection is made for those who appreciate culture. The clothing acts as a bridge between art and life, accessible to anyone willing to communicate with its design language. By stripping back from extreme silhouettes, HARRI opens itself to a wider audience while staying true to its artistic core.

At the heart of the collection lies the dialogue between tradition and modernity, inspired by Cuban-born interior designer Clara Porset. Porset, celebrated for her revolutionary work on the Latin American Butaque chair, was known for merging historic craftsmanship with modern form and reimagining everyday objects as functional art.

Under the creative direction of Sandra Sandor, Nanushka continues its ethos of sustainable, modern dressing, blending heritage techniques with contemporary silhouettes. The brand has built a reputation for creating pieces that balance functionality with effortless elegance making clothes that are both thoughtful and wearable.

Drawing on Porset’s ethos, SS26 treats weaving as a metaphor for creativity and patience. The bold striped red print on jersey polo dresses and even dangling earrings transform a simple motif into a playful, inventive statement, while the cream-and-black cracked pattern on washed-silk maxi dresses evokes experimentation and tactile artistry. 

Texture and movement take centre stage, with accessories acting as key players in the collection’s storytelling. The Nami shoulder bag hugs the body in soft, sculpted shapes with signature crochet stitching. Scarves and soft pieces carry seasonal prints and woven motifs, reinforcing interconnectedness.

Large statement belts cinch the waist, shaping flowing silhouettes, while fringe and dangling chains catch the light with every step. Gold, silver, and wooden hardware punctuate the natural textures, blending artisanal craft with modern energy and summer vibrancy.

Flowing linens, hand-knotted cottons, and fluid silks provide comfort for warm weather, while tailored pieces and sculpted collars lend structure and refinement. It is designed for individuals who appreciate thoughtful craftsmanship and contemporary taste, those who seek clothing that is adaptable to both work and play.

Layered textures, bold prints, and handcrafted details give a quiet power yet lasting power to the woman on the move.

The Central Saint Martins graduate has quietly carved out a distinctive space in London’s fashion scene blending historical inspiration with modern construction. Known for his meticulous, process-led approach, he crafts garments that balance tactility and resilience, favouring adaptability and substance.

His latest collection, titled Season 5, reflects a careful dialogue between material, colour, and form, establishing him as a designer who values thoughtful innovation as much as visual impact.

Acting as a a driving force, colour flows from hard greys, and slices of a metallic fabric through to washed blues and earthy greens, culminating in flashes of red and purple: a slow crescendo that structures both mood and form.

Fabrics carry weight and tactility with linens and cottons fused with technical weaves, surfaces brushed, puff-printed, or irregularly dyed. Washed grey tees are ruched in the side pulling in the silhouette to the body and creating texture.

Subtle historical echoes thread through the silhouettes: shoulders shaped like armour, trousers recalling breeches, and metallic silver accents glinting on knee pads. Geometric motifs and protective detailing suggest protection without costume, producing garments that feel both contemporary and enduring, resilient yet fluid in movement.

Zippers punctuate the collection, not just as functional details but as tools for texture and visual rhythm, catching light and breaking up surfaces. Sharp lines and precise tailoring cut into the silhouettes, creating a contemporary edge while maintaining the collection’s architectural flow.

The resulting pieces appeal to those who value understated innovation. Individuals seeking garments that are modern, adaptable, and quietly powerful, designed for movement, resilience, and a wardrobe that balances history with forward-looking style.

Accessories continue to evolve in SS26 reflecting Constantinou’s interest in adaptability and texture. The designer’s signature expandable quilted bags return: now treated with silver pigments that catch the light and new finishes that enhance tactility, creating a sense of both weight and movement. Their modular design allows them to expand and contract, echoing the collection’s theme of transformation.

By the finale, Constantinou’s world has moved from shadow to light, each garment a quiet testament to transformation. Colours, textures, and subtle historical echoes converge, creating pieces that feel lived-in yet eternal. A collection that whispers of resilience, tactility, and the enduring poetry of thoughtfully made clothing.

Founded in London in 2019 by Greek designer Dimitra Petsa, the namesake label has cultivated a strong identity rooted in sensuality, mythology, and ethereal design. This season, the brand continues to develop the identity of the Di Petsa woman: fluid yet grounded, romantic yet bold, sacred and sensual in equal measure.

Staying true to the brand’s core identity, Petsa constructed a narrative that deepens her ongoing exploration of the relationship between water and woman. As the sound of water dripping echoed against curved architectural walls, the atmosphere transformed. It felt as though the audience had stepped into a hidden tomb or a lost city where forgotten treasures and ancestral memories waited to be discovered.

Models awoke from their tombs with mud-streaked makeup and skin covered in body glitter, reflecting light in a way that felt otherworldly. They moved as if emerging from the earth or sea, carrying ancestral memory in their gestures.

Each look is carved with references into its seams. One long black dress had been tailored to expose the left breast, paying homage to Agnès Sorel. The infamous mistress of King Charles VII of France, who rose to power and became one of his closest advisors, had her dresses altered to reveal her favourite breast. Honouring women and uplifting historical references, the collection blends ancient storytelling with modern sensuality.

Softly draped fabrics return as a Di Petsa signature this season. Deep cyan garments ripple with movement, slowing the models’ steps and revealing slivers of skin with graceful sensuality, like a waterfall cascading. Through modernised togas, every element of femininity was brought to light, unearthed with care and reverence. These garments held both softness and strength, presenting a vision of womanhood that is timeless and divine.

For more casual occasions, and the brand’s famously surreal take on partywear, t-shirts and cargo trousers appeared with delicate ruffled detailing stitched across them. A wet-look slogan dress clung tightly to the body, capturing the feeling of just having stepped from the ocean, making her a siren of coolness. Structured trousers grounded an otherwise weightless collection. Detailed with pleating and ruching, these workwear pants are transferable for digging in caves or getting lost in the rave.

Although Di Petsa celebrates femininity at its core, the collection also featured androgynous pieces worn by male models. Boxy slogan t-shirts, tailored trousers, and deconstructed wet-look tops made from silk and jersey were styled with a chic, effortless energy. Reflecting her eco-feminist philosophy, Di Petsa designs for all genders, embracing femininity as a universal force present in every form of life.

One of the most striking looks was a caramel-coloured ball gown. Hooks and crinolines protruded from the fabric, forming shapes that resembled delicate fins. Paired with large oval sunglasses, the look gave the model an alien yet sacred appearance. It was a powerful vision of femininity that defies the ordinary.

The show ended with a quiet but powerful performance piece. A ceramic-winged angel appeared on the stage, her body smeared with mud. Two nymphs washed her in a ritual act of cleansing and rebirth. Other angels moved around them, some standing completely still, resembling ancient Kore statues, frozen in a moment of timeless beauty.

Each look contributes to a beautiful mosaic of the inner self, creating a vivid portrait of femininity shaped by philosophy and psychology. This is surely a show to remember, as we witness Di Petsa evolve with every collection.
