Surrealism, held in place Schiaparelli has always lived in a space slightly outside of fashion’s usual logic. Too theatrical to be called minimal.Too precise to be dismissed as spectacle. And under Daniel Roseberry, that tension has only sharpened. For Fall/Winter…
The discipline of silence In a fashion landscape still calibrated around visibility, amplification, and immediacy, The Row continues to move in the opposite direction. Not as a reaction, but as a position held with unusual consistency. The brand does not…
Fashion weeks are often framed as moments of spectacle. Big stages, amplified silhouettes, images designed to circulate instantly. But what they reveal is rarely in the obvious. Beneath the lights, there is always something quieter unfolding — a shift in…
Every fashion week produces hundreds of looks. Too many, in fact, to fully process in real time. But what lingers isn’t the individual outfit. It’s the repetition. The quiet overlaps between houses that aren’t coordinating, yet somehow arrive at similar…
Language of textures At Bottega Veneta, fabric has never been a passive element—it leads, it shapes, it defines. Long before a silhouette fully reveals itself, there is always the surface, the hand, the way light settles (or resists settling) on…
Black identity For Fall/Winter 2026 in Milan, Dolce & Gabbana made a decision that felt almost counterintuitive in the current landscape. They removed colour. Not as a concept. Not as a moment within the show. But as a sustained condition.…

Controlled eccentricity Marni has never quite belonged to Milan in the conventional sense. In a city often defined by precision, tailoring, and a certain idea of refinement, Marni continues to lean elsewhere, toward instinct, toward irregularity, toward something more emotional…
Layering intelligence Some shows try to define a silhouette. To impose a clear, immediate idea of shape. Prada approached the season differently. Instead of asking what a body should look like, the collection seemed to ask how it is actually…
The quiet evolution of minimalism Minimalism has always been the language of Jil Sander. A language built on clarity, on control, on the refusal of excess. But like any language, it shifts over time. It absorbs new tensions, new sensitivities.…
Control as strategy Yesterday at Milan Fashion Week, a shift became visible. Not a rupture or a reinvention, nothing that announced itself with urgency. Under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri, Fendi presented its Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Not by…
In Switzerland, excess usually makes people uncomfortable.It feels unstable. Too loud. Too visible. Kevin Germanier doesn’t try to soften that tension but use it and works inside it. In the 300m2 exhibition space in Lausanne, colour occupies the room rather…
