Paris never delivers a single message. The city functions like a laboratory. Multiple visions unfolding in parallel, sometimes contradicting each other, sometimes unexpectedly aligning. Yet across the Fall/Winter 2026 season, several directions became impossible to ignore. Not trying to create…
The intelligence of instability Few houses understand the language of modern femininity quite like Miu Miu. It has never been about defining women through a single attitude, but about holding multiple, sometimes conflicting states at once. Fragility and authority. Innocence…
Heritage in motion At Paris Fashion Week, Vivienne Westwood did not attempt to redefine itself.It didn’t need to. Instead, the collection moved through its own history, not as something fixed or protected, but as something still active. Fall/Winter 2026 felt…
