Sally LaPointe’s Resort 2026 collection debuts in a season marked by quiet evolution and thoughtful expansion for the brand. With a move to a larger, light-filled studio, LaPointe enters a phase of creative growth and renewed clarity—an energy that’s distinctly mirrored in the collection itself. Drawing from her established aesthetic while introducing refined updates in fabrication and form, the designer offers a confident and contemporary vision.

In a world where beauty standards are often dictated by perfection, this extraordinary project challenges the norms and redefines what it means to be truly seen. Spearheaded by photographer and creative director Aleksandra Sachenko, this collaboration brings together an exceptional team, including model and muse Natalija Djordjevic Vajbl, makeup artist Yulia Shulgina, and assistant Marina Vasileva, all working together to celebrate the individuality, confidence, and inner strength of women.

At Seoul Fashion Week, Japanese model and internet sensation NAGOMI captivated audiences as she graced the runway for RE RHEE’s Autumn/Winter 2025-26 collection. The Seoul-based womenswear label, helmed by designer Rhee June-bok, presented its latest collection, “Traces of Lingering Scent,” at the iconic Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)—an event attended by a star-studded crowd, including Korean celebrities and K-pop icons.

Blumarine’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection, designed by David Koma, marks an exciting evolution for the brand, blending its iconic playful heritage with Koma’s sculptural precision. Now partially based in Milan, Koma draws from the city’s dynamic energy and timeless style, crafting a collection that feels nostalgic yet strikingly modern.

 This season, Stacey Bendet, the creative director of Alice + Olivia, is avoiding minimalism. Bendet imagined a fanciful universe where elegance and creativity collided for Spring Summer 2025. Known as "The Hotel of Imagination," each piece in this collection offered a different atmosphere, style, or narrative while being transformed into a room within a fanciful hotel. Bendet's creative attitude to fashion and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the way she combines on-trend components with opulent, striking creations.

 A moving ode to her Spanish heritage, Johanna Ortiz's SS25 collection was enhanced by the melancholic sound of real flamenco. Her emotional connection to her background was vividly displayed in the performance, with vibrant colours, flowing ruffles, and fluid forms. The assortment had a bohemian vibe, highlighting Ortiz's unique aesthetic and captivating demeanour.

The palette was rich and varied, with stunning black and white elements framing earthy terra-cotta tones as well as deep reds, emerald greens, and ocean blues. The prints gave the collection's exuberance a geometric edge, drawing inspiration loosely from Moorish architecture. Ortiz's embracing of colour and happiness was a reflection of her conviction that style can provide hope during dark times.
