"You used to have to dress up to go out to lunch," says the fashion designer, cabaret singer, and foremost man-about-town Isaac Mizrahi. "I really liked the idea of having a reason to put on a coat and tie. But over the years, everything has become much more casual. Now you go in a sweatshirt, and it's okay because everybody around you is dressed like that."

Inside the Art Deco grandeur of the Leman Ballroom in Manhattan's Financial District, Malan Breton's Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, Song of the Winter Siren, unfolded in tones of midnight glamour and cinematic restraint. The room glowed in polished symmetry and burnished light, evoking the hushed luxury of a transatlantic crossing at dusk a space suspended between departure and return. Breton, trained on Savile Row and long fluent in the dramaturgy of silhouette, approached the season as narrative architecture rather than seasonal wardrobe.

Jeans with heels gets me every time. The woman who walks into the room in jeans and heels looks as if she owns the place, in a good way. It is a style language that speaks to everyone, confident and direct, a woman who is on top of her brief but also fun. The impact is stronger than a casual outfit, more compelling than a formal one.

Captured beautifully by Shin Jeong Hoon, this collection is a poignant homage to the rich tapestry of East African heritage. When millennial East Africans revisit vintage photographs of their grandparents, joyously dancing on polished parquet floors or posing with vintage Citroens and Beetles against a backdrop of brilliantly blooming bougainvillaea, one can't help but feel a wave of nostalgia. Something is captivating about that wooden floor, their natural hair,

SIA ARNIKA introduces OVERTIME, a collection for Fall/Winter 2026, revealed during Berlin Fashion Week. This collection explores the hours following work, where the rigid structures of day-to-day life begin to loosen, transforming the mundane into something vibrant. OVERTIME navigates familiar settings such as office corridors, factory spaces, and village discos, capturing spaces typically characterised by routine and discipline. As the collection progresses, a subtle breakdown of these established systems is evident.

Granted, a catwalk had been laid but it was still a short-ish trek through Française countryside to get to your seat, which is evidently a voyage Rider had in mind given the resolutely pragmatic design of Celine's Riley boots. They're a deluxe take on what the French call the botte de pluie (nicer than wellies, right?) in moulded rubber, nylon and calfskin, more than a nod to the equestrian antecedents of the house.

Vanessa Baernthol presented her Fall/Winter 2026 collection, titled SPHERE, during Berlin Fashion Week, showcasing her renowned architectural approach to fashion and a strong commitment to sustainable practices. This latest collection explores layering as both an artistic and functional endeavour, setting the stage for a thought-provoking intersection of fashion and architecture. The runway show took place at the Schinkel Pavillon, an art gallery in Berlin-Mitte, where its architectural clarity and intriguing interplay of structure and transparency provided a fitting backdrop for SPHERE.

The word came first. - a compound that recently surfaced in German headlines, describing the anxiety inside the boardrooms of arms manufacturers at the prospect of an end to war. For Benjamin Alexander Huseby and Serhat Işık, the designers behind Friedensangst GmbH, it became a trigger for Autumn/Winter 2026, shown inside Berlin's vast, concrete Kraftwerk. Backstage at their show, Huseby had the word emblazoned on his T-shirt.

In a stunning showcase during Berlin Fashion Week, Danny Reinke presented his collection, Numinous, which reinterprets the essence of the forest as an independent force rather than a mere backdrop. The presentation condensed the space into an intense, almost ritualistic atmosphere, amplified by live music and atmospheric lighting, demonstrating a clear narrative arc. The stunning backstage photography by Thilo Wilcke captures the essence of this remarkable collection, echoing the omnipresence of nature in every frame.

To be clear, Harry Styles at the Grammys is not a surprise. The musician-actor has long been a familiar sight at the awards show - the three-time winner was omnipresent during the early 2020s. But, since releasing Harry's House in 2022, Style's antics have skewed monkish; beyond his blisteringly fast incognito marathons, he's generally managed to recuse himself from the glaring limelight.

Is your wardrobe cringe? Does it make you look out-of-touch and cause younger and cooler people to look upon you with pity? Do you really want me to answer that? Never mind, I'm going to anyway, so buckle up. Brutal honesty is very January, so I will give it to you straight. But before we get down to dissecting your wardrobe, two quick questions for you. Do you put full stops in text messages? Were you baffled by Labubus?

It's the most wonderful time of the year - for film buffs and fashionistas, at least. Awards season is here, and celebs are busy vying for a spot on annual best-dressed lists. Plus, Hollywood's best and brightest have been flocking to Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, which kicked off on Jan. 22. The festival may not have as flashy of a fashion reputation as New York or LA red carpets, but style stars like Jenna Ortega came to deliver nonetheless. The actress attended the festival to promote her upcoming film, The Gallerist. On Jan. 24, the Wednesday actress stepped out in two preppy corpcore fits, including a designer minidress and monochromatic skirt suit.

Any time there's a new YSL Libre fragrance launch, you can almost always count on Dua Lipa to wear a very specific (and very spicy) ensemble in its accompanying campaign. As of Thursday, Jan. 15, that still proves to be true. The "Levitating" songstress has been a YSL Beauty ambassador since 2019, when she introduced the OG Libre in an ad. Since then, she's been starring in spots for each new Libre iteration, including Intense, Flowers & Flames, and Vanille Couture. It's a longstanding tradition.

After a four-year hiatus, the show finally returns to HBO Max on April 12, and there's a lot to unpack. Following a five-year time jump since their high school graduation, Zendaya's Rue seems to be sober and doing well - until her former dealer shows up at her door (Martha Kelly). She then ends up in what seems to be a strip club, seemingly about to be indebted to a whole new bad guy.

She embraced the corpcore aesthetic by wearing a classic gray striped blazer with fitted lapels and pointed pockets, looking professional as always. But in true Carrie fashion, she added a dainty touch with a baby pink button-up blouse underneath, featuring a curved V-neck and symmetrical hem, courtesy of a silky ribbon. She paired her blazer with a skirt that had a black-and-gray flecked pattern. Of course, SJP didn't step out without some statement accessories.

One of the great Irish songs is The Parting Glass. Nobody performed it better than Liam Clancy. At the end of every December, he sang it to remember those who had been lost during the year.

Few brands have captured the zeitgeist quite like Pink Palm Puff (PPP). With their signature embroidered hoodies and holiday pajama sets that blend cozy comfort and coastal-preppy style, PPP has exploded into a cultural staple, amassing nearly one million TikTok followers and a sprawling audience across all social platforms. Each product drop turns into a viral event, solidifying the brand's role as a bonafide pillar for originality and style in today's youth fashion landscape.

Read on for fashion-forward Christmas trees to check out this winter.
