“Freedom has no destination. Only the road.” With these words, Jitrois framed its Spring/Summer 2026 lookbook at Paris Fashion Week, a bold, sensual meditation on liberation, identity, and the body in motion. Jean Claude Jitrois, a master of leather as language, transforms garments into declarations: this is less a wardrobe than a manifesto, a cinematic journey through desire, defiance, and transformation.

For Spring/Summer 2026, Viktor & Rolf return to haute couture as a realm of conceptual freedom, where fashion operates as both spectacle and intellectual exercise. Presented as a meticulously staged fashion show, the collection reaffirmed the Dutch duo’s mastery of couture as an art form, one that privileges construction, symbolism, and emotional provocation over conventional ideas of wearability.

To inaugurate the opening of its Paris flagship, Our Legacy chose the French capital as the stage for a Fall/Winter 2026–2027 collection that reads less as a relocation and more as an introspective manifesto. Under the direction of Cristopher Nying, the brand presented a deeply poetic examination of the Swedish psyche, where restraint, reverence, and emotional gravity quietly challenge the conventions of modern masculinity. Rather than amplifying volume or spectacle, the collection embraces softness as strength, positioning vulnerability as a deliberate and dignified form of power.

Unveiled via lookbook during Milan Men’s Fashion Week, Bally’s Fall/Winter 2026–27 menswear collection positions the house firmly within its original terrain: the high-altitude world where performance, protection, and polish converge. With the 2026 Winter Olympics on the horizon, the timing feels astute, yet the collection avoids topical gimmickry by grounding itself in Bally’s Swiss lineage, a history of technical excellence that predates the contemporary fascination with après-ski dressing by more than a century.

Mary Katrantzou’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection arrives as a sunlit counterpoint to midwinter New York, offering a vivid escape to Mediterranean evenings steeped in warmth, color, and ritual. Rooted in what the designer describes as a form of domestic escapism, the lookbook draws from the art of the summer table those intimate, carefully composed moments of hosting that unfold across Greek villas and Italian terraces. Splitting her time between Athens and Florence, Katrantzou channels the understated poetry of al fresco living into a high-fashion language that feels both indulgent and deeply personal.
