Sia Arnika Berlin Spring 2026 Collection
Arnika had also been thinking about an autobiographical short story by the Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgard that she'd recently read, which focused on the awkwardness of dating, and sex, and trying to find yourself in that mythic country we all know as adulthood. 'It's this whole thing of, 'Who am I?'' Arnika said. 'I want to be somebody I am not.' She'd then alighted on the cultish 1970 movie, A Love Story (not to be confused with the McGraw/O'Neal vehicle of a similar vintage and near identical name) by director Roy Anderson, another tale of youthful sexual awakening, this one hailing from Sweden.
This all, said Arnika, led her to think about the big emotions of youth, and how they can color your adult life. Also, not just the feels, but what you wear; how we can get it wrong when we're young and inexperienced at life, trying to figure out how we want to dress and look—and how you might sometimes want to revert back to it, because, what the hell, some days you just wake up feeling that way. Not for provocation, or shock value, but because you're yearning to not play by the rules, or contort yourself into the expectations and rules about who and what you're meant to be.

When in Doubt, Wear Your Clothes Backwards or Inside Out
For as long as I can remember, I've loved wearing things the 'wrong' way and repurposing non-traditional objects as outfits. Skirts as sleeveless dresses, necklaces as belts and vice versa, button-down tops backwards, wide belts as skirts, skirts over pants. I also have a penchant for Christmas ornaments as earrings, and antique miniature portraits meant for walls on chains as charms. There is nothing better to me than wearing vintage skinny belts (preferably by Whiting & Davis) as necklaces. But most of all: jackets, coats, shirts and dresses, inside out. So, I was overjoyed when on the fall 2025 runways, more than one designer engaged in flipping the script on how we conventionally wear our clothes. Upside down, inside out, reversed and contorted. For the final of Yohji Yamamoto's fall 2025 collection, a group of models emerged wearing long back jackets with brilliant royal purple accents. They paused for the audience to look on, as they swapped the garments and turned them literally inside out, helping each other along the way to reveal outfits that were entirely different from what they first wore. Yohji-San famously doesn't do interviews unless they're in-person, but via an email, he tells Vogue that the concept was about 'perfection... imperfection... I think they are the same. They can switch. So I want to show both sides.' He continues: 'When you wear clothes in a different way, maybe you find something new. When you turn them inside out, you can see the construction. You see the truth. Sometimes this part is more beautiful.' Yohji Yamamoto fall 2025 collection. Yohji Yamamoto fall 2025 collection. Likewise, the rising brand Zomer, run by Danial Aitouganov and Imruh Asha, kicked off its fall 2025 show backwards, with models taking their final walk first. They all wore pieces that were upside down, turned around, or purposely inverted. 'It all began with a conversation between us, a shared desire to go back in time and redo things,' says Aitouganov. 'That idea sparked our styling process, which then evolved into the design phase. Some pieces are intentionally designed to be worn back to front. They might look 'wrong' at first, but the fit is just right. And some items were styled specifically for the show.' For Sarah Burton's fall 2025 Givenchy debut, structured dresses looked like they had been intentionally designed to look backwards, revealing the flip side of a collar that may have been on the back. Similarly, sustainable designer Maria McManus had models wear outerwear inside out for the spring 2025 show, to show the otherwise hidden details like organic cotton lining, buttons made from biodegradable potato starch and corozo nuts, and expertly bound seams.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2025: A Fashion Dream
The fashion crowd was back at the New York Public Library on Monday night ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend to revel in Marc Jacobs' latest collection of dreamlike Victorian beauties. As per usual, Jacobs' show notes set the stage for the five minute fall collection runway show of a concise 19 looks, which each packed a punch to the soft tune of 'Song for Jesse' by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. More from WWD Alanui Keeps Flying High With Amelia Earhart-inspired Collection Bleached, Shaved and Skinny: Marc Jacobs Sets New Brow Agenda for Fall 2025 Nicky Hilton Rothschild Puts Surrealist Storybook Spin on Mod Dressing in Upturned Pumps at Marc Jacobs Show 'Beauty,' the notes read. 'A quality or combination of qualities that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is often associated with properties such as harmony of form or color, proportion, and authenticity.' Jacobs, during a recent conversation with author and former WWD executive editor Bridget Foley at La Maison Orveda's debut fireside chat of its Cultural Tastemakers programming series, spoke about his ongoing inspirations and evolution. 'It's been more interesting to think about clothes in a sculptural way and without being pretentious or arrogant — we do it our way, which usually has a reference to something known,' he said. 'When I wear fashion, I want a real shoulder commitment, I want a silhouette going, and I want to feel involved. Fashion is really special and it's something you don't need. It's not a mere piece of cloth to cover your body. It's something that pulls at your heart.' His words came to mind on Monday night, seen through through the fall collection, a fabulous continuation of the larger than life, twisted, doll-like takes on the familiar — the vocabulary he's been developing strongly over the last few years. Jacobs leaned into Victorian shapes mixed with a bit of grunge, as seen in look one, a giant lilac lace blouse, grounded with extra large and baggy cargo pants featuring a big bow on the rear. There were bows galore, also seen on the backs of almost every look, including gorgeous sculptural lace gowns (in pretty pastels or darker, vampy hues) and cinched up or pin-tucked big pants; in the models' hair, or twisted into a bulbous, pale pink layered lingerie dress that fell off the body just-so. Jacobs continued his story with ditsy wallpaper floral prints and pastel lace, whipping them into exaggerated Victorian doll silhouettes, some of which hugged closer to the body than in recent seasons before exploding out into pouffed shoulders and hems. His sculptural blouses were knockouts — a billowing floral version on Alex Consani; a rounded, polka-dot rendition on model Wali Deutsch, or a sweet but strong white lace one worn by Sascha Rajasalu — but really, so were each of the designer's 16 other looks. Once again through fashion, Jacobs transported his guests into an otherworldly escape of fairy-tale, dreamlike beauty.

Ioannes Berlin Spring 2026 Collection
It was a small gesture when Johannes Boehl Cronau kicked off his black leather slippers as he took a bow after his Ioannes show in the Orangery of Charlottenburg Palace. But it spoke volumes to many of those present. Take a deep breath and cool down. Berlin Fashion Week is over. In many ways, it was every bit as good as its big sisters and could even compete with Paris Men's Fashion Week, at least in terms of temperatures and show delays. Boehl Cronau, whose designs have been well received in Hollywood and who has already collaborated with Kylie Jenner's label, showed his work in Berlin for the first time. Of course, his dresses, which are all exceptionally well made, were on display: eye-catching and very figure-hugging. 'I've always been very inspired by the women in my family. Body awareness and sexiness have nothing to do with clothing size,' the designer replied when asked to what extent sensuality plays a role in his work. Not a single waist was hidden, each one was precisely and accurately accentuated. Or simply exposed, as in the halter tops with floor-length fringes, which Ioannes alternated with mini and maxi dresses. In between, there was also some knitwear, a few trains, and quite a bit of sequins, paired with high leather boots. The accessories further refined the image of the cool, international Ioannes woman. Oversized, sculptural gold jewelry and even larger aviator sunglasses. The latter, incidentally, are a collaboration with Berlin eyewear label Mykita, which designed this particular frame as a special edition for Sarah Jessica Parker. 'This collection is a little glimpse into the past six years,' he said. 'What I've done, what I love, and what may have been missing from my portfolio. But I'm not necessarily looking to do more excessively. I'm not even doing shows regularly. The biggest advantage I want to give my customers is to put more quality into all the quantity.'
