Winter tailoring as seen on Lerato Kganyago and more
The mornings and evenings have been particularly hard given the temperatures in most parts of the country plummet to single digits this winter.
The only cold we like to see is – as the kids say – the 'coldest' fashion, the only ice we want is the diamond kind.
Crisp cuts, sharp tailoring and smart layering are the order of fashion this winter. So, let's take a look at the top fashion moments from some of our favourite stars:

Celine Spring 2026: Scarves, and Other Keepsakes
The ivory-and-black silk scarves artfully wrapped around Celine's runway invitations were out in force on Sunday, guests winding them around their necks, threading them through belt loops, or dangling them from handbags — buh-bye Labubu. The choice of this keepsake was very considered and intentional, like everything about Michael Rider's strong debut at the French house. More from WWD Rene Caovilla Introduces Opulent Couture Capsule Collection Celine North America Has a New President Celine Has Your Ticket for the Wolfgang Tillmans Exhibition 'Scarves are something I wear and everyone wears differently,' he told a clutch of reporters after the show. 'It's also something you tend to keep and something maybe you give to your children, or a friend. But I liked the idea, particularly at Celine, where scarves mattered so much at the very beginning.' Rider kept the best bits of the Hedi Slimane era, and the Phoebe Philo one — of which he was an integral part — and threw in some of his own recent past as creative director of Polo Ralph Lauren, tossing sweaters over a few shoulders, preppy-style. He left some things behind, notably the recent rash of Rue Cambon references, but it was fun to spot such Easter eggs as a Luggage bag elongated into a weekender with a zippered pocket now curved like a smile, or a logo T-shirt and skinny jeans on a gangly, long-haired guy, also shown in a looser version. Like many of the designers making debuts at houses this season, Rider has a lot of stakeholders to please, and billions of business at stake at a moment of luxury doldrums. So this was a crowd-pleaser of a collection that balanced heritage and novelties in the right measure. The show was staged on a rainy afternoon at Celine headquarters on Rue Vivienne, models whisking in two directions across the limestone floors to propulsive hits by The Cure. The tailoring was distinctive: strong-shouldered jackets with a high-button stance, giving them a pinched and pleasing Empire line — and narrow, buttonless coats with elegant, cutaway openings. The pants were cool, cut slim as leggings or loose as culottes, some with cuffs and satin stripes like tuxedo pants. Pleated carrot shapes and harem pants tucked into glove-soft wrestling boots fed a vague '80s mood. This coed show also covered all the categories, from day to evening, Rider's LBDs trimmed with garlands of jet beading; his ivory infanta gown as simple as a T-shirt and unadorned but for the cutest little chest pocket. Some of the bags and costume jewelry dangled too many charms and gewgaws, but you could discern new shapes and colors in Triomphe canvas, and raffia totes in all sizes, too. His design successor at Polo, Karen Brown, and a small crew from Lauren headquarters came to cheer him on, as did designers Lucie and Luke Meier, Jonathan Anderson and Raf Simons, adding to the electric atmosphere at the show. While unaccustomed to the spotlight, having worked behind the scenes his entire career, Rider seemed at ease talking to reporters backstage, while not giving too much away. He spoke about the values of Celine — quality, timelessness and style — aligning with his. 'I was thinking a lot about something very real,' he said. 'Also, there's a foundation here that we're building on… We were as much about the beginning of the company as the nine wonderful years I was here, as well as the last six years.' Founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana and based initially on shoes, Celine has been part of the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton stable since 1996 — and has seen its ups and downs. While American Michael Kors revved up the house when he was at the design helm from 1997 to 2004, it struggled to reclaim that buzz under former Burberry designer Roberto Menichetti and Prada alum Ivana Omazic. Philo and Slimane ultimately propelled Celine into fashion's big leagues, and Rider seems keen to make it a byword for classics with plenty of panache, and the right degree of zing. It's becoming nearly customary for designers to write a letter after the show, rather than typical show notes, and Rider's tells you where his head is at. 'I've always loved the idea of clothing that lives on, that becomes a part of the wearer's life, that may capture a moment in time but also speaks to years and years of gestures and occasions and change, of the past, the present and the future, of memories, of usefulness and of fantasy — of life really.'

It's Alive! Iris Van Herpen's Latest Innovation? A Dress Made From 125 Million Bioluminescent Algae
As fittings were underway on Saturday, Van Herpen and her latest collaborator, Chris Bellamy, gave Vogue a preview of the creation. Like some kind of otherworldly specimen on display, the dress and pant ensemble hung inside a box carefully controlled with light—exactly the wavelength where the algae are found 50 meters below sea level—and humidity, with a cloud of cold steam pooling around the base. Photo: Molly SJ Lowe/ Courtesy of Iris Van Herpen Photo: Molly SJ Lowe/ Courtesy of Iris Van Herpen In this daylight setting, the dimensional pattern was not illuminated, but milky white with a trace of blue; an imperfect comparison might be glow-in-the-dark stickers that have a greenish tinge. Like humans, pyrocystis lunula need 'sleep' and have their own light cycles like our Circadian rhythms. In the wild, they emit light in response to movement and/or when they sense predators. No word yet who Van Herpen is casting to wear the look or how the model will provoke the flash of light. Yet with Van Herpen standing on one side of the box and Bellamy on the other, they explained how they first connected in February, some two years after Bellamy began his research in French Polynesia (he still travels there while also working in France, the UK and Amsterdam, where Van Herpen is based). Once they agreed to advance on the project, Bellamy got to work on the algae farm—essentially a chamber of controlled light where the microorganisms grow in seawater, doubling in quantity every two weeks. After enough time, there was 20 liters of algae—a little more than a half-filled bathtub. Going from a liquid state to a solid that could be injected into Van Herpen's custom molds involved transferring the algae to a seaweed nutrient gel—some 50 were tested to arrive at the right texture, color, and overall balance—and coating the forms with a protective membrane that's breathable and allows them to live and glow. In total, this turned into a roughly 35-step process with support from the University of Amsterdam and the Francis Crick Institute for biomedical research. After significant trial and error, not to mention attaching the pattern to an illusion mesh second skin, they said they reached the successful outcome—'it worked,' said Bellamy—about a month ago. The garments are now stored according to precisely controlled conditions that correspond to the algae's native environment, such as temperature, light, humidity and rhythm. The organisms can continue to mate and reproduce inside the garment forms, making the dress brighter and brighter. As for an odor, Bellamy replies, 'No, you can just smell the seawater.'

Little Elephant Combines Snacktime and Naptime Like a Multitasking Genius
Little Elephant Combines Snacktime and Naptime Like a Multitasking Genius originally appeared on PetHelpful. In life, it is extremely important to be able to multitask, and humans are constantly juggling multiple things at one time. Surprisingly, we aren't the only ones who have mastered multitasking! Some animals are incredible multitaskers, too; it just looks a little different! Meet Mzinga, a 3-year-old African elephant whose multitasking abilities are quite impressive! In a video clip shared by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, we get a glimpse of Mzinga skillfully combining two of her favorite activities, eating and sleeping! Elephants travel many miles every day and it's not surprising that they would become tired and hungry at the same time. Apparently, this little girl was just too exhausted to keep going, and she desperately needed a nap. However, she was also starving, so combining the two tasks seemed like the only logical solution! First, she picks a comfy spot in the grass to lay down for her nap. Humans might think that she picked the grassy area for the cushioning. However, it became clear that it was all part of her plan, and she actually picked it so she could lie there and munch away on tasty greens, at the same time!This creative combo of nap time and mealtime gives the phrase, 'killing two birds with one stone,' a whole new meaning! She is a genius and based on the comments, her fans agree! One viewer said, 'Nothing like lounging in a bowl of salad, LOL!' Another follower said she completely understands the little pachyderm and stated, 'I'm on that same energy, Mzinga! I'm lying on my couch, eating potato chips, happily watching her!' In an effort to save time, many people will drink coffee while commuting to work, and maybe even add in a conference call with clients. Well, it's clear that this sweet little elephant does not want to waste a minute of her day so doing both tasks together is all about efficiency! We should all learn from Mzinga's example and remember to take time for the little things—but also have a tasty snack handy. She is living her best life and not worried about getting crumbs in her bed—so we shouldn't either!
