The best looks from Milan Fashion Week Men’s FW 26/27

The curtain has fallen on Milan Fashion Week, which wrapped up on Monday after three days where all eyes were on men. This one was about a man with no fear of stepping outside his comfort zone. A fearless man who embraces his masculinity in a non-conformist way, yet never ceases to be a gentleman.
Silhouettes were exaggerated — at Dsquared2 there were massive puffers and oversized parkas channelling après-ski, but made sexy. Meanwhile, at Prada, streamlined garments were elongated, mimicking des...

Dior continues its love affair with Japan for Fall ’25

Dior’s love affair with Japan runs deep, from Monsieur Dior making history as the first couturier to show a collection there in 1953 to John Galliano, then the house’s creative director, channelling the drama of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, set in Nagasaki, for the spring 2007 haute couture show. So it comes as no surprise that last week the French house staged its autumn ready-to-wear show against the backdrop of Kyoto, choosing the peaceful surroundings of the Tō-ji Temple, home to Japan’s tal...

Previously recognised as Annie’s Ibizia, the Autumn/Winter 2026 season marked a pivotal transition for the fashion label, as it unveiled its latest collection, Return to Self, under a newly refined name: Annies. With the new name came a distinct creative shift. It marked the first time Annie Doble peppered the runway with shoes and tailored trousers alongside their signature heirloom-inspired pieces, elevated by gleaming jacquards and lavishly embellished sheer dresses. Taking to Spencer House,...

Nude Project’s Barcelona store is the label’s version of a temple

Each decorative adornment on the walls of Nude Project’s headquarters in Barcelona’s industrial Poblenou district carries a meaning. There are images of co-founders Bruno Casanovas and Alex Benlloch when they first started the brand in 2019, a t-shirt signed by Ronaldinho from their brand collaboration, a sealed glass containing an emergency condom and a store-count flip calendar.
There is a lingering sense of pride and a glint in Casanovas’ eyes, when he pulls off the number 10 from the calend...

Hair trends to try before summer is over

It may be a cliché that everything feels better in summer, but it’s true. The days stretch longer, skin catches the sun just right and freedom hangs thick in the sea breeze. We may be in August, but — according to Instagram stories — plenty of jet setters are squeezing in last-minute trips before the golden hues of summer turn into the ambers of autumn. But, before hopping on a plane to chase golden hour (for pictures, of course) and claim a spot at the table for alfresco drinks, there’s one dec...

Established in 2010 by Ukrainian designer Lessja Verlingieri, the brand is based in Los Angeles, where its atelier is also located. “I grew up in Ukraine, learn...
