    At Paris Fashion Week, Celine presented its Summer 2026 collection under the direction of Michael Rider—a season that read less as reinvention than as recalibration. After the sharply linear, emotionally cool era shaped by Hedi Slimane, Rider’s first summer season felt like a deliberate act of restoration. What returned was not trend, but rhythm: the…

    Reflective leather, architectural shoulders, and a runway flooded with white flowers.Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection resisted spectacle in favor of form—its authority, its tension, and its contradictions. Leather reaffirmed its centrality to the house, while voluminous, petal-like dresses opened an opposing narrative. What unfolded was not a clash, but a calibrated tension between strength and…

    At Paris Fashion Week, Miu Miu staged a quiet return—to reality. Spring/Summer 2026 did not seek spectacle. Instead, it turned deliberately toward the forms we encounter every day: aprons, cotton dresses, shirts, canvas, leather worn close to the body.

    In September 2025, Prada returned with a Spring/Summer 2026 collection that felt less like a seasonal proposal and more like a quiet assertion of intent. Set against a vivid orange runway, the show unfolded as a dialogue between restraint and release—between the discipline of uniform dressing and the emotional charge of color. Under Miuccia Prada…

    Dior Spring/Summer 2026 is not a collection designed to seduce immediately.It asks to be considered, not consumed. Jonathan Anderson’s debut suggests a Dior that listens before it declares, that observes before it defines. Whether this vision evolves into a long-term language remains to be seen. For now, it marks a beginning—quietly assertive, intellectually grounded, and…

    Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection marked more than a creative transition.It was a recalibration. For his debut, Matthieu Blazy approached the house not as a disruptor, but as an editor—someone fluent in Chanel’s grammar, yet unafraid to adjust its rhythm. The result was not spectacle-driven reinvention, but a collection built on restraint, proportion, and movement. A…
