Xander Zhou Shanghai Spring 2026 Collection
“This is to show that the pictures you’re about to see are not AI-generated.” That’s the PSA that Xander Zhou shared on his social media, accompanied by video footage of his collection on set, ahead of the rollout of this lookbook. There’s no questioning why such messaging felt necessary. Of late, Zhou has been toying with the boundaries of our perception and the limits of our sartorial comprehension. He’s added wings and screens and arms to various tailored pieces, considering themes of innovation, evolution, and the potential implications of living in the age of rapid technological advancement. This season, he outdid himself. The idea, he said, was to consider menswear…

With Three New Fragrances, the Loewe Crafted Collection is Here
The team sought out to source the absolute best ingredients, and create around them. “When you choose the ingredient, you’re halfway done,” she says. “After that, it starts—[you must find a] way to contrast [them].” The Iris Root eau de parfum, for example, is rooted in the creamy and soft iris rhizome. “I needed something to explode it’s beauty at the top,” Cruelles explains, pairing it with Timut pepper for its zesty, grapefruit-forward aroma, complemented by violet for a herbaceous accord. For the second perfume, Cruelles looked to vanilla—an ingredient redolent of one’s childhood. Think: being in the kitchen while your grandma is baking—the scent of sugary dough gliding through…

Mira Mikati Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Mira Mikati is her florist’s best customer. “It makes or breaks my day, so I go early in the morning two or three times a week before Pilates class,” the designer said over tea at Toraya during Paris Fashion Week. She paused a beat, and added: “Once I am done with fashion, maybe I will open a flower shop with a Japanese tea place and sweets, because we don’t have that in London.” Until Café Mira takes shape, the designer offered up a flowerbed of a collection for spring. Blooms sprouted in 3D on sweaters, a belt, and a white sundress; as sequined pansies on jammies; as bouquets of hollyhock,…

ERL Resort 2026 Collection | Vogue
Per Eli Russell Linnetz, you should view this lookbook less in a G.I. Joe or Warfare kind of way—the latter being the recent Iraq war film starring Kit Connor, Charles Melton, and Joseph Quinn—and consider it more in the spirit of Andy playing with his miniature green soldier figurines in Toy Story. Only with a side of the hallucinatory darkness of Francis Coppola’s 1979 Apocalypse Now—and, of course, the intensity of its source material, Joseph Conrad’s 1988 novella Heart of Darkness. Which is to say, look at these images less as Linnetz’s glorification of warfare, or as a pro-military portrait, and consider it his examination of the presence of conflict…

Duckie Brown Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
For their spring collection, Duckie Brown’s Steven Cox and Daniel Silver offered a melange of vintage Duckie pieces mixed with brand new ones. It’s the kind of thing that happens when you are packing and come across your old things and decide it’s time to give them a new spin. As it happens, the Duckies are indeed packing up their West Village studio up in a crate and sending it to Greece, where they’re currently in the midst of constructing their house. “Duckie Brown is definitely happening over there, and now we’ve gone from this apartment that we used to live in that Daniel bought in the ’80s and we…

Meryll Rogge Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
My Paris show schedule started eight days ago with the two independent female voices of Julie Kegels and Hodakova, and it closed today with another, Meryll Rogge, who showed a strong and strongly witty collection of sportily layered embroidered dresses, hand knit sweaters with low-slung multi-belted leather skirts, jeweled safety-pin punctured English tweed coats for the girls, and floral/check collaged shirts, shrunken jacquard sweaters, and oversized leather jackets for the boys. (This is a loose grouping, to be clear, informed by the presentation; I mean, you know, wear from this collection what you want, whoever you are.) In a Paris season stoked with anticipation and excitement around so many (male)…

Zuhair Murad Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The Zuhair Murad woman is traveling this spring, as she often does, but this time around the journey is inward. “She’s not seeking a place but a light within,” Murad explained in his collection notes. Sartorially speaking, the journey in search of self calls for ease of movement and, above all, serenity. Monochrome dressing drew essentially on autumnal and desert hues for day or night, for example in a safari-style jacket, jumpsuit or coat in faille treated to look like linen, or halter dresses in ocher or sunset pink. This season, Murad focused more on comparatively restrained daywear, then incorporated bohemian flourishes with a jumpsuit in cotton lace among other…

Véronique Leroy Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Throughout the years, Véronique Leroy has built a distinctive repertoire that unfolds as a seamless continuum from season to season. For spring, she expanded on ideas explored for fall, reworking her sharp, ’80s-inflected silhouettes in unexpected fabrics: soft terry cloth, thick and bouncy honeycomb mesh, and a stretchy gaufré material that clings to the body while adding a playful, tactile texture. Leroy consistently seeks a kind of dissonance, whether through materials, colors, or proportions. Her generously cut, fluid trousers were paired with fitted stretch-velvet bathing tops or cropped taffeta blouses with sculptable puff sleeves. They can also be styled with minuscule pieces, like terry bustiers that mold to the body’s…

ArdAzAei Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Bahareh Ardakani is expanding her vocabulary. Now that her brand, ArdAzAei, has established a foothold as one of the newest additions to the Couture calendar, it’s moving into ready-to-wear for spring and, to that end, ramping up e-commerce in the next month or so. “I’m trying to develop a language that’s all my own, but at the same time one that simplifies couture and makes it more accessible,” the designer said during a visit to her jewel box of a showroom on the Rue Saint-Florentin in Paris. “Couture is such a dream world. It’s a special and unique part of fashion, but my mission is to dress more women for…

ATXV Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
At the same time that other designers have adapted the physicality that has characterized Antonio Tarantini’s work for ATXV (lots of pulling and tying), so the Italian designer has refined his technique for spring. He still draped directly on the form, but feeling especially liberated, focused on suspended strips of fabric (the edges all finished by hand) that fell open to reveal materials of different textures or colors. “When I work with my hands; in that moment I feel completely, completely free. This season I wanted to give life to my drapes to be more three-dimensional,” said Tarantini on a call. To that end, elastic replaced belts. As always, the…
