Rag & Bone Pre-Fall 2026 Menswear Collection
For pre-fall 2026, the Rag & Bone team had prep on the brain. Kyle Sweeney, the Senior VP of Menswear, explained that they were focused on the “evolution of traditional American Ivy wear.” He continued, “we looked at the idea of this urban prep, but in a very sophisticated lens through the eyes of New York City. We focused on the idea of this modern uniform and the fact that every great uniform starts with a great shirt.” Shirting this season included new details—oxford button-downs came with stamped graphics on the front placket for an edgier and youthful touch while also featuring more relaxed silhouettes. They were paired with boxy…

Kith Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
For winter, Ronnie Fieg continued building upon the “return to classic Kith,” that he presented on the runway back in September. It’s a more mature and considered offering this season, and not just because the lookbook opens with Fieg himself wearing a tobacco brown double-breasted suit—with matching tonal shirt and tie—from the brand’s ongoing Giorgio Armani collaboration. (Get this on Jeremy Strong, stat!) Fieg relishes the winter collections because he can really indulge in his love for fabrics and layering, and this season was no exception, with an emphasis on blown-up takes on classic textures like bouclés and chain stitches, and workhorse fabrics that deceive the eye, like a tightly…

A$AP Rocky to Be Honored as Fashion Icon at the 2025 CFDA Awards
The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards are scheduled for November 3 at the American Museum of Natural History. Nominees and honorees were announced early last month as New York Fashion Week got going, and today the Council of Fashion Designers of America has shared that the recipient for the Fashion Icon recognition will be none other than Vogue’s May 2025 cover star A$AP Rocky. The rapper, who is known as a menswear oracle of sorts and acted as co-chair at the 2025 Met Gala, has a label of his own as part of his creative agency AWGE. Rocky is also the creative director of Puma and Ray-Ban and has fronted campaigns…

Dominnico Spain Spring 2026 Collection
For spring, Dominnico’s Domingo Rodríguez Lázaro took on the 18th century, transforming his signature upcycled pieces into the ultimate dream for any devotee of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. Think corseted silhouettes, rococo volumes, and brocades colliding with taffetas and pop culture into an unmistakable vision the designer called “Rococunt.” “I loved Coppola’s plasticized, over-the-top take; the delicate fabrics, the textures, the way it’s seen through a modern, rebellious lens,” Rodríguez Lázaro said. He has distilled that complex mix into his own signature codes, highlighting the fun and playfulness of the film, with reimagined French sleeves, bows, and other hallmarks of the era. “I use it as an aesthetic excuse,” he…

The Best of Grace Wales Bonner, Hermès’s Newly Appointed Creative Director of Menswear, in Vogue
In the past two years, amidst all the designer comings and goings, one name was on everyone’s lips but had so far remained elusive, a fantasy. It was Grace Wales Bonner, the 35 year-old designer who has quietly revolutionized menswear since she launched her namesake label after graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2014. Today, she was announced as the new creative director of Hermès menswear, succeeding Véronique Nichanian, who will show her last collection in January after 37 years in the job. It’s a surprising announcement only because as the game of musical chairs reached its pinnacle with a spring 2026 season that included 15 designer debuts, the industry…

Ponte Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The organizing principle of Harry Pontefract’s spring 2026 collection—a dress-up party—provides a framework that unites his disparate characters and demonstrates to best advantage the evolution of the brand and its pillars. These are story-telling, “exploration into the body and proportions,” and mind-blowing technique. Take look 19, a suit that was, hour after hour after hour colored in with pencils and then hand-burnished with a spoon to “smooth the layers into each other,” the designer said on a call. The Joan of Arc-like character in look 21 is wearing a dress made of wire filaments “finer than hair” that was cut by a hairdresser and then brushed with magnets. Even the simplest looking designs…

Moisés Nieto Spain Spring 2026 Collection
The word that best captures Moisés Nieto’s latest collection is celebration. For spring, he revisited pieces from his past without a hint of nostalgia. It was a love letter to his beginnings, and a confident vision of what lies ahead. “I’m in a moment where I think a lot about each collection in relation to real women,” he explained hours before the show. “How will she wear the pieces? Where will she keep them if she’s traveling? Will they wrinkle? I think a lot about her comfort when I create.” The collection builds on the signatures he has established so far: impeccable finishes, sculptural volume, and the presence of color—this…

Carlota Barrera Spain Spring 2026 Collection
The line between public and private dissolves in Carlota Barrera’s spring 2026 collection, an exploration that redefines the boundaries of menswear, through what she calls “the concept of intimacy.” “We’ve been working with something that’s usually unseen, or choosing very selectively who we share it with,” the designer explained. “I think we’re at a point where intimacy has been commodified, so we wanted to give it a tangible form.” The designer reimagined the language of lingerie through the lens of tailoring and a distinctly masculine sensibility: adjustable straps, sheer fabrics, concealed fastenings, and internal structures that bring the unseen to light. That play between concealment and exposure revealed itself through…

Xu Zhi Shanghai Spring 2026 Collection
Xuzhi Chen is Shanghai’s resident boho spokesman. At first glance, his spring 2026 collection—his second since his big return to the Shanghai Fashion Week fold last season—looked as if it were engineered to accompany the fashion dictionary’s entry on boho-chic, checking every box with its wispy dresses, ballooning pantaloons, and diaphanous silk blouses. But as he explained in the lead up to the show, Chen was getting at something deeper and more romantic. He cited the French poet Arthur Rimbaud as an inspiration, but rather than focus on his volatile early years and his torrid affair with Paul Verlaine he was thinking about his later days. After spending his youth…

Shushu/Tong Shanghai Spring 2026 Collection
“What is left after beauty decays?” That was the fascinating prompt from designers Liushu “Shushu” Lei and Yutong “Tong Tong” Jiang, who’ve built an aesthetically concise and tightly packaged world at Shushu/Tong, a brand is synonymous with a certain kind of prettiness—prim, sophisticated, put together. This season, they appeared eager to challenge those ideals, and the exercise made for a compelling collection that was satisfying and at times even surprising. After the show, Shushu said that the duo had pushed themselves to explore different fabrications and materials. Ten years in, the pair have a robust body of work—there’s no better time to play around. Not coincidentally, this Shanghai Fashion Week was full of…
