SS26: Whispers of Spring by Oscar de la Renta

For the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2026 collection, Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia celebrate the revitalizing energy of spring through texture and movement. The porcelain flower, reminiscent of those from Kim’s family garden, comes to life through crochet, cross-stitching on rattan lace, and hand-painted leather enamel clusters. Sinuous vines adorned with these flowers climb a variety of silhouettes, from fluid silk chiffon caftans to lace guipure dresses and a softly structured cocoon coat. A cyclamen print inspired by the chiné weaving technique adds textural movement to a thread-work embroidered denim dress, printed satin pajamas, and an ombré jacquard jacket. The color palette is the essence of spring: butter, cerulean, and pear. Fringed styles make a return, most notably on a duo of tea-length sequin cocktail dresses and a platine bugle bead gown with a crystal lattice neckline. A trio of allover crystal cluster evening styles showcase intricate hand-embroidered...

MUST HAVE: Chloe SS17 is a glamorous take on its signature bohemian codes

A carefree, effortless attitude defines the collections – what founder Gaby Aghion called “a happy spirit.” It encompasses everything from must-have bags and shoes to beautiful ready-to-wear. Chloé's gold-tone necklace has been made in Italy using an artisanal hammering technique. It is decorated with coins, charms and letters, some of which are attached to chains, that spell out 'Chloé'. This long piece can only be worn at one length, and looks perfect with a bohemian blouse. Chloé's pants have a high-rise waist and slim buckled belt - it looks especially cool fastened loosely over your hips. The wide-leg shape reflects the label's relaxed vibe, especially in the breezy cotton-chambray fabric. Chloé's Ibiza-inspired High Summer '17 collection is a glamorous take on its signature bohemian codes. This gold-tone bracelet is punctuated with beaded fringing that beautifully sways as you move. Make it the finishing touch to vacation outfits. Chloé's High Summ...

Miss Dior: The Secret Resistance Heroine Who Inspired an Iconic Fragrance

Before she became a muse, she was a fighter. In the shadows of Nazi-occupied France, a young woman named Catherine Dior chose danger over silence. She was not just the sister of legendary couturier Christian Dior—she was a fierce and fearless agent of the French Resistance, enduring unspeakable torture and surviving the horrors of concentration camps. Her strength, courage, and grace would later become the invisible heart of one of the world’s most beloved perfumes: Miss Dior. Miss Dior amphora, Baccarat crystal, 1951. Photo: Philippe Schlienger “It’s a perfume that smells like love,” Christian Dior once said of Miss Dior. But behind its blooming floral bouquet lies a darker origin story—one of war, resistance, and resilience. The Woman Behind the Name Catherine Dior was born in 1917, the youngest daughter of a once-wealthy family whose fortunes had crumbled. In 1941, in Cannes, a simple act of buying a radio changed her life—and may have helped change the course of history. Radio...

Ode to Craftsmanship: Iconic Dolce&Gabbana Bags at the "Dal Cuore Alle Mani" Exhibition

The "Dal Cuore Alle Mani: Dolce&Gabbana" exhibition is a veritable treasure trove, showcasing the impeccable craftsmanship poured into each iconic bag of the Italian House.

Met Gala 2026: Where Fashion Becomes the Ultimate Masterpiece

The legendary steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art have once again transformed into a living gallery for the 2026 Met Gala. Under the provocative theme "Costume Art," the evening has set a new precedent for the industry, effectively erasing the boundaries between human anatomy, textile engineering, and fine art.

Schiaparelli HAND DRAWN COUTURE

Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture illustrated by Daniel Roseberry. This quote, with its stark honesty and dedication to artistic truth, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Elsa Schiaparelli. She, too, was a revolutionary, a master of reinvention, pushing the boundaries of fashion and art with an audacious disregard for convention. Nine years after her arrival on the scene, Schiaparelli, already a legend in her own right, appeared at the Ambassadeurs restaurant gala in a gown painted by Dunand, a bold statement of her unique artistry. The coq-feathered stole draped around her shoulders was an homage to the legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova, a reminder of Schiaparelli's own transformative power. Unlike Pavlova's swan, Schiaparelli was a phoenix, rising from the ashes, constantly reinventing herself and, in turn, revolutionizing fashion. This collection, an ode to Schiaparelli's enduring legacy, embodies that spirit of reinvention. Each piece is a testament to her ...

The Louvre Sphinx: How Daniel Roseberry Transforms Schiaparelli’s Heritage into Modern Magic

While London’s Victoria and Albert Museum prepares for its massive retrospective, “Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art,” Creative Director Daniel Roseberry decided not to wait for the gallery doors to open. He presented his own deconstruction of reality on the runway at the "Carrousel du Louvre", turning the Fall/Winter 2026-2027 Ready-to-Wear collection into a triumph of wearable surrealism.

Footwear as Art: When Shoes Become Sculptures

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, footwear has transcended its utilitarian origins. Once created solely for comfort and protection, shoes have now become a legitimate form of artistic expression. From bejeweled platforms to heels shaped like mythical creatures, contemporary footwear design walks a thrilling line between craftsmanship and sculpture. Today, shoes are not just worn—they are admired, collected, exhibited, and even revered.
