The exhibition 'Chawan Cabinet' presents limited-edition ceramic vessels that embody the concepts of ritual and contemplation, showcasing the artistry of Japanese ceramicists.

Washi, because of its quality and texture, offers something not just tactile but psychologically soothing. It's about one-third the weight of cotton, light, breathable and dry to the touch.

Emily Porter found a woven sweater labeled 'Maria Rodriguez Chicago' at a resale shop, highlighting the significance of local designers in Chicago's fashion history.

The question of how fashion is archived - what enters the museum; what is deemed worthy of preservation; whose clothes are considered culturally significant enough to outlast the bodies that wore them - has long sat uneasily at the centre of fashion history itself. Institutions have tended to answer it, or ignore it, in much the same way: couture gowns under glass, luxury garments mounted on conservation-grade mannequins in blockbuster exhibitions - an implicit hierarchy of the designed over the worn, the authored over the anonymous.

For many of these sophomore efforts, however, the results felt tentative or overworked, with critics questioning direction and coherence. Bottega Veneta was the clear exception. Louise Trotter's collection stood out for its chic restraint and disciplined focus-understated rather than attention-seeking-grounding itself in craft, proportion, and material integrity instead of spectacle.

Rafael Leao posted a photo with Francesco Camarda, the two sharing the sponsorship of Adidas. Today, the Portuguese took centre stage in a different way: he walked the runway for Adidas' mega show. He was joined by other top-flight footballers, including Davide Frattesi, Federico Dimarco, and Giacomo Raspadori.

I'm obsessed with clichés. Because for me they are the equivalent of universal recognisable codes. It was important to call it that as a way of assuming the word. It's about tapping into cliché.

Studying abroad in Florence was one of the best decisions of my life for a multitude of reasons-I lived like a true local, ate some of the best meals I've ever had, deepened my appreciation for art and history, learned Italian, and was able to travel to five countries and two continents in just three and a half months. But most importantly, it immersed me in a culture where personal style is second nature, quickly teaching me how to dress in a sophisticated, timeless,

Rooted in the heart of Milan, Fiorucci has continuously merged expressive design with everyday practicality, crafting collections that encourage personal styling and a lived-in feel. The spirit of Fiorucci comes alive under the direction of Creative Director Francesca Murri, who brings a fresh perspective to the brand's legacy. Her contemporary vision reinterprets the utopian optimism for which Fiorucci is celebrated, skillfully transforming creativity, emotion, and the essence of freedom into modern wardrobes suitable for today's fashion-forward individuals.

Speaking backstage before the show, Anderson, dressed in his signature faded Levi's jeans and a navy cashmere sweater, described the collection as another character study, explaining that this time he set out to explore the idea of a new aristocracy, questioning what it means today and what can it be? The-41-year old designer said when it came to the social hierarchy he wanted to ignore the aspect of money and instead home in on their eccentricity.

Continuing its journey of consistent, evolutionary development, the collection embodies Lardini's Code of Making: craftsmanship as a cultural value, an aesthetic stance, and a catalyst for innovation. The intersection of traditional tailoring and technological precision culminates in materials that convey meaning, while process quality emerges as the true luxury. The FW26/27 collection unfolds through four interwoven expressions: Contemporary Tailoring, Iconic Outerwear, Knitwear Layering, and Sophisticated Casual, creating a coherent yet understated aesthetic.

LANDEI transcends the conventional notion of a "place"; it embodies a state of mind, challenging perceptions of naivety or unsophistication. This deliberate reclamation of the term speaks volumes about the brand's ethos and intention. At the heart of this collection lies an exploration of fashion that distances itself from the spectacle of the industry, shifting the focus toward origin, patience, and a deep, internal contemplation of creativity.

Embroidery is a historic mainstay of traditional clothing in Asia or the Middle East, as well as Western Haute Couture, but it is increasingly present in Paris, Milan or New York on modern men's shirts, bomber jackets or blazers. Designers at Dior, Dolce Gabbana, Kenzo or Gucci have adopted it in recent runway shows, while Louis Vuitton's celebrity rapper-designer Pharell Williams dedicated his entire June collection to India after visiting the country.

What exactly Giorgio Armani looks like without its eponymous founder at the helm has been the burning question in the fashion industry since the designer's death in September. In Milan on Monday afternoon, it got its answer as the designer's collaborator and right-hand man of four decades, Leo Dell'Orco, made his debut at the Italian fashion house where he will oversee menswear for the foreseeable future. It was the first Armani collection in which the late designer had no involvement.

In an installation, guests were invited to unleash their artistry, painting a striking wall with black paint, all while models adorned in Perbandt's iconic designs posed gracefully amidst an enchanting sea of black balloons. "Zero Point Energy" embodies a state of minimal yet inexhaustible energy, suggesting that even in perfect stillness, a subtle yet powerful vibration remains, resonating through every stitch of her collection.

Even for the largest, most resourced fashion houses, delivering a cohesive capsule of menswear that lives up to increasingly astronomical expectations - all while facing a cutthroat seasonal cycle and mounting industry consolidation - is a momentous task. More so when they haven't shown for 20 years. Then again, as Mr. Lauren has proven time and again, it is ill-advised, if not downright foolish, to bet against him.

Everybody thought I would make oversized bomber jackets with monograms, said the mononymous king-of-the-hoodie designer after the show. That's what ChatGPT said, apparently. But that's not why I came to Gucci. Instead, he said, his Gucci will be energy, passion, fun and sex.
