Alberta Ferretti Spring 2026 Collection

On Alberta Ferretti’s runway—transformed into a cream-carpeted space that felt at once like a refined living room and a private fashion theater—Lorenzo Serafini unveiled a collection that blurred the boundaries between domestic intimacy and sophisticated hosting. His mood board featured the legendary Tina Chow, the quintessential hostess of the 1970s, whose effortless mix of warmth and elegance served as a guiding muse.

The lineup showcased weightless caftans, kimono-inspired dresses, and wide pajama-like trousers, styled with studded loafers—as if the hostess herself might dash out in an Alfa Romeo to fetch more Pinot Bianco. Serafini’s vision was clear: a wardrobe designed for private living, yet equally refined for welcoming guests.

Unlike the often rigid silhouettes that dominate runways—even in spring—this collection leaned into air-light fabrics and pared-down construction, sometimes as delicate as a handkerchief. There were soft tailoring, wide draped sleeves, Fortuny-style pleating, and layered transparencies that added dimension and fluidity without excess embellishment.

The color palette moved seamlessly from creamy neutrals to soft blush pinks and pale mint greens, creating a serene mood. Among the highlights were the multi-layered pleated dresses, which floated gracefully with every step and embodied the season’s sense of ease.

Still, the collection wasn’t without bold statements: leopard prints and jersey gowns with golden corset details injected a confident energy, signaling Serafini’s intent to gradually amplify the house’s voice.

Kendall Jenner and The Return of Chloé’s Iconic Paddington

The iconic Chloé Paddington bag, first introduced in 2005 under the creative direction of Phoebe Philo, makes its comeback 20 years later through a modern reinterpretation by Chemena Kamali. Crafted in washed, vegetable-tanned leather with lighter hardware, an adjustable shoulder strap, and a single zipper, the updated design retains the signature east–west silhouette and oversized padlock that made it a global phenomenon.

To mark its revival, Chloé tapped Kendall Jenner as the face of the new campaign, alongside British actress Aimee Lou Wood (The White Lotus) and Japanese singer Anna from the K-pop group Meovv. Together, the trio represents multiple dimensions of modern femininity—from cosmopolitan sophistication to artistic sensibility and pop-culture influence.

The campaign’s storytelling was shaped by acclaimed French filmmaker Mati Diop, who shot a 35mm short film inspired by 1970s French cinema, while celebrated photographer David Sims captured intimate black-and-white portraits of the women engaging with the Paddington in spontaneous, everyday gestures.

Kamali—who began her career at Chloé during Philo’s tenure—brought back the Paddington in her Fall 2025 runway show, where it appeared in neutral hues and worn-in finishes that underline its timeless appeal. Now available in Chloé boutiques and online stores, the new Paddington is poised to win over both a new generation and the brand’s devoted long-time followers.

Burberry Spring 2026 Collection

The essence of British music culture collided with fashion at Daniel Lee’s Spring 2026 Burberry show, staged under a giant tent in Kensington Gardens. The guest list reflected the theme—Twiggy, Elton John, Skepta, Central Cee, and K-pop idols filled the front row—blurring the lines between eras and proving that style and sound remain inseparable.

Lee described the collection as a celebration of “fashion’s love affair with music,” drawing on the energy of British summer festivals, the mod aesthetics of Swinging London, and cinematic references like Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet and Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles films.

Burberry’s iconic check became playful, rendered in Pop Art shades of chartreuse, lavender, denim blue, and aquamarine on A-line coats and fluid silhouettes. Models, styled with shaggy Gallagher-inspired hair, wore long scarves, Chelsea boots, and oversized bags with endless fringes—evoking a carefree festival spirit. Hand-crocheted mini dresses in chain mail and macramé added texture, paired with flat lace-up boots designed for muddy festival grounds.

For Lee, the biggest challenge was to rethink proportion. After years of maxi hemlines and oversized outerwear, he shifted toward shorter, sharper silhouettes: “It’s actually harder to design something more precise, because the impact changes when you see it in motion. We wanted to celebrate that contrast,” he explained.

Daywear blurred into evening with glossy tailoring, including ‘60s-inspired elongated jackets and newly waterproofed fabrics—not just trench coats, but jeans, cottons, and raffia weaves, all nodding to Burberry’s heritage of functionality. Nighttime looks amped up the shine with sequined minis in pink, silver, and green, bomber jackets in liquid silk, and shimmering tie-dye suits for men, hinting at a rock-and-roll glamour that felt distinctly British.

Accessories reinforced the mood: oversized tote bags, festival-ready crossbodies, and reinterpretations of the house’s classic satchels grounded the collection in both utility and fun.

PaperDoll AI: Rediscover the Magic in Your Closet

Supermodel Vlada Roslyakova turns a universal frustration into a stylish, sustainable solution that brings joy back to getting dressed.

PaperDoll AI

The fashion world is in constant motion—collections change, seasons shift, and trends evolve faster than ever. Yet one thing hasn’t changed: that familiar feeling of standing in front of a closet packed with clothes and thinking, “I have nothing to wear.” For many women, this daily dilemma is both frustrating and exhausting.

Technology has been slowly weaving its way into fashion, but often through e-commerce or virtual runway shows. What’s been missing is something deeply personal—a tool that doesn’t just show you what’s out there, but helps you make sense of what you already own. Enter PaperDoll AI, a platform designed to transform how we see, organize, and engage with our wardrobes.

PaperDoll AI is more than an app—it’s a rethinking of the relationship between women, clothes, and technology. With AI-powered outfit planning, personalized shopping recommendations, resale integration, and even the ability to rediscover forgotten pieces in your own closet, it feels like the stylist we always wished we had on call. But the innovation goes further: PaperDoll encourages smarter, more sustainable choices by helping users shop with intention, reduce overconsumption, and breathe new life into pieces they already love.

Behind this project is Vlada Roslyakova, one of fashion’s most recognizable faces, who has walked for nearly every major house and appeared in countless international campaigns. As co-founder of PaperDoll, she brings not only industry credibility but also lived experience—because even models, she admits, face the same closet conundrums as everyone else.

We sat down with Vlada to talk about the origins of PaperDoll, the challenges of blending fashion and technology, and how this new digital closet is set to change not just how we dress, but how we think about fashion.

Nike x Skims: A New Era of Women’s Activewear Launches This Fall

After being postponed from spring to fall to ensure perfection, the highly anticipated NikeSkims collection will finally launch on September 26, 2026. This co-branded label marks a milestone: it is the first time Nike has ever created a brand with another company—partnering with Kim Kardashian’s Skims, the billion-dollar shapewear empire known for its inclusive sizing, sculpting fits, and modern approach to body-conscious design.

Courtesy Of Skims

The debut line is ambitious, featuring 58 styles across seven distinct capsules that range from performance-driven essentials to lifestyle-ready pieces. Hero products include a double-strap scoop-neck sports bra, full-foot leggings, 5cm boy shorts and micro shorts, and a long-sleeve crossover top. Also highlighted are snap-button track pants, and an oversized throwback-inspired jacket. The color palette blends timeless neutrals like black, beige, and slate gray with bold accents in electric blue and vivid red, designed to transition seamlessly from gym workouts to everyday streetwear.

For Nike, the collaboration is more than just a product launch: it’s a strategic repositioning in women’s fashion, aimed at capturing a more style-forward consumer who demands both performance and polish. Kardashian’s global influence—she commands 355 million Instagram followers, outpacing even Nike itself—ensures that the brand will resonate instantly with a massive audience.

Skims, now valued at over $4 billion, brings its expertise in body-enhancing silhouettes and fabric innovation, while Nike contributes cutting-edge performance technology. The result is a line engineered to sculpt, designed to perform, and styled to empower women who want to feel confident whether at the gym or on the go.

Industry analysts predict that NikeSkims could be a game-changer for Nike’s women’s business, injecting fresh energy into its global strategy and redefining how female consumers see the brand.

Erdem Spring 2026 Collection

In his latest Spring 2026 collection, Erdem Moralioglu transported his audience into a surreal realm shaped by the extraordinary visions of Hélène Smith, the 19th-century Swiss medium whose dreamlike trances once captivated surrealist artists. Through Smith’s eyes —who claimed to wander through the court of Marie Antoinette, across India, and even to Mars— Moralioglu reimagined her shifting identities as a modern fashion narrative.

Over 40 looks graced the runway, each weaving together past lives and faraway landscapes with contemporary precision. There were corset-shaped minidresses crafted from antique lace and coarse burlap, adorned with shimmering crystals and intricate floral embroidery; structured coats and gowns with high lace collars, panniers, and corseted bodices, echoing the opulence of Versailles; and fluid silhouettes in vivid hues of hot pink and neon green, inspired by Indian textiles and sari-like draping.

Luxurious satin trench coats, embellished with diamanté and floral appliqués, blurred the line between outerwear and eveningwear, while sensual sari-inspired gowns captured both intimacy and grandeur. Adding to the theatricality, flat shoes tied with fabric bows in shades of scarlet and rose grounded the looks, balancing drama with comfort.

Set against London’s increasingly experimental mood, the show felt both otherworldly and current. Rather than descending into chaos, Moralioglu’s careful craftsmanship transformed a kaleidoscope of references —historical, mystical, and exotic— into a cohesive statement of modern romanticism. With this collection, Erdem proved once again his mastery at fusing the ethereal and the restrained, creating clothes that are as intellectually compelling as they are breathtakingly beautiful.

Pamella Roland Spring-Summer 2026 Collection

At New York Fashion Week, Pamella Roland turned the runway into a living gallery, where each look resembled a modernist artwork. The collection was a dialogue between pictorial abstraction and evening glamour, seamlessly balancing architectural tailoring with softer, more fluid draping.

The venue, styled as an intimate library, framed the show as if it were an exhibition. Among the standout pieces was a cocktail dress crafted from laser-cut plexiglass, worn like a sculptural armor. Flowing ombré chiffons and layered organzas added movement and depth, while dense beading, sequins, and metallic appliqués amplified the collection’s theatrical spirit.

Roland drew inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe’s floral sensuality, translated into ethereal silks and chiffons, and from the mid-century American geometric abstraction, reflected in sharp pleats and impeccably tailored suits. A playful nod to Warhol’s pop art emerged in high-contrast graphic prints and oversized accessories — lacquered handbags, bold sunglasses, and sculptural jewelry — that injected a dose of urban glamour.

Color was used as a narrative tool, shifting between jewel tones, soft monochromatic pastels, and unexpected pops of brightness. Evening gowns cut on the bias, with dramatic trains and concentrated embellishments, embodied both power and refinement, ensuring their impact under the spotlight.

The collection also highlighted versatile tailoring: sharp tuxedo jackets, pencil skirts, and high-waisted trousers grounded the lineup, proving Roland’s vision extends beyond the red carpet.

Styling was kept modern yet understated — sleek hair, refined makeup, and minimalist strappy heels — so that textures and structures remained the true focus. Overall, Pamella Roland Spring 2026 delivered a cohesive and cinematic vision, where each piece functioned as both a contemporary evening statement and a wearable interpretation of mid-century artistic sensibilities.

7 Films to Keep You Fashion-Inspired This Fall

7 Films to Keep You Fashion-Inspired This Fall

As fall approaches, one of my favorite things to do is rewatch films that inspire me at the start of a new season and help me romanticize my daily tasks despite the not-so-sunny weather. Here’s a list of movies that have kept me company in the past and still do to this day, so you can live a more fashionable season as well.

·Legally Blonde (2001)

The story of a girl, Elle (Reese Witherspoon), who starts her journey as a lawyer to win back her ex but ends up finding her true purpose instead. Throughout the movie, she never loses her sense of self, remaining true to her uniqueness and kindness. It’s definitely a must-watch if you not only need fashionable outfit ideas—mostly in pink—but also if you’re looking for some study motivation.

·Pretty Woman (1990)

Julia Roberts won over audiences when she stepped into the role of Vivian, the main character of this movie. This rom-com follows the story of Edward (Richard Gere), a wealthy entrepreneur, and Vivian, a prostitute he hires to accompany him to social gatherings. While watching the two of them fall in love, you’ll also get an early glimpse of ’90s fashion—with some late ’80s touches—that could easily go from your screen straight to your mood board.

·Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (1997)

Two best friends (played by Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino) decide to make up fake stories about their lives before attending their high school reunion to create a new reputation. Set at the end of the ’90s, this film is a great inspiration for those who love this era and are fans of bold colors. Bright palettes, feathers, and eccentric hairstyles will be your antidote to a monochromatic fall.

·The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

I know this might be a cliché, but you can’t talk about fashion without watching Anne Hathaway as Andy, who gets swept up in the fashion world once she starts working as an assistant for Miranda Priestly, the director of Runway (Meryl Streep). Based on the bestselling novel The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger, the film gives a glamorous inside look at the fashion industry, showcasing a variety of styles—and their evolution—throughout its story.

·Ocean’s 8 (2018)

After seven years in prison, Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) assembles a team of seven skilled women to steal a diamond necklace worth 150 million dollars. With a cast featuring amazing actresses—Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, to name a few—this comedy, while not specifically focused on fashion, still delivers plenty of modern style inspiration along with its charming humor.

·Clueless (1995)

Following the life of Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone), a wealthy high-school student, you’ll be drawn into her journey through adolescence, love, and friendships. Set in an alternative version of Beverly Hills, its fashion blends bright colors, grunge, and tailored pieces—all chosen to reflect the characters’ personalities and their growth throughout the story.

·Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

The perfect movie to immerse yourself in the charm of New York City, following the story of Holly (Audrey Hepburn), who struggles both romantically and personally to find her place in the world. The love story, along with the captivating personality of the main character, will keep you company on a cozy afternoon. And, of course, the timeless looks will inspire you to reinterpret your clothes the next time you open your wardrobe.

Carolina Herrera Spring 2026 Collection

For its first-ever European runway show, Carolina Herrera transformed Madrid’s historic Plaza Mayor into a blush-pink catwalk that radiated drama, color, and cultural pride. The star-studded front row—including Becky G, Lucy Hale, Sofia Carson, and Alisha Boe—watched as creative director Wes Gordon unveiled 77 looks that celebrated femininity through bold silhouettes, floral extravagance, and nods to Spanish tradition.

The show opened with a striking black gown with a sweeping train, setting a tone of grandeur before models paraded in infanta-inspired dresses recalling Velázquez and El Greco. Gordon balanced this historic influence with modern innovations, such as crystal-outlined cage bustiers mimicking the cobblestones of the square and bubble lilac gowns adorned with layered violet appliqués.

Floral motifs defined the collection—roses, carnations, and violets, each chosen for its symbolic ties to Madrid. A standout moment included a marigold jacquard dress embroidered with golden carnations, while the color story emphasized Gordon’s signature bold red, luminous lilac, and vibrant marigold yellow.

Local cultural references were seamlessly woven throughout: matador jackets shimmering with jet beads, fan-shaped handbags, and handmade black capes by Casa Seseña. The cinematic flair echoed Spanish film heroines, with playful checks and halter-neck dresses that seemed to step out of an Almodóvar movie. Supermodel Esther Cañadas delivered one of the most memorable moments, gliding down the runway in a bright red off-the-shoulder gown that embodied strength and sensuality.

The show also celebrated Spain’s creative voices, featuring collaborations with Sybilla, who contributed three of her architectural signature dresses, and Palomo Spain, who reimagined Herrera’s iconic white shirt. With this collection, Gordon paid tribute not only to Madrid but also to the artistry, confidence, and unapologetic femininity that define the spirit of Carolina Herrera today.

For Spring 2026, Sergio Hudson once again asserted his mastery of vibrant, attention-grabbing fashion, presenting a collection that balances exuberance with wearable elegance. While the lineup was more streamlined than in previous seasons, Hudson amplified impact through impeccable tailoring, oversized utilitarian coats, and his signature bold color palette and animal prints, echoing the glam and edge of the 1970s and 80s.

The collection played with contrasts, merging luxury and comfort. Delicate embroidered minidresses, bustier-style blouses, and corseted skirts fastened at the back were paired with oversized peasant blouses, sporty embellished suits, and pieces with fluid movement, designed to feel as exciting in real life as they do on the runway. Hudson emphasized that these are not just garments, but treasured wardrobe staples crafted to empower women.

Hudson’s muse for Spring 2026 is a confident, magnetic woman, unafraid to command attention. She might enter a room in a zebra-print shirtdress cinched with an iridescent metallic belt, or choose a sequined animal-print mini skirt for a striking night look. The collection also highlighted statement outerwear, like a structured blazer in vivid colors paired with matching wide-legged trousers, and accessories that punctuate the bold yet refined aesthetic.

In presenting this collection, Hudson underscored his vision for the modern woman: celebrating joy, confidence, and fearless femininity, all while paying homage to his signature blend of glamorous references and practical sophistication. Even amid challenging times, his Spring 2026 collection serves as a reminder that fashion can inspire, empower, and bring delight.
