Fashion United28-07-2025
The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) released the provisional schedule for Paris Fashion Week spring/summer 2026 last Thursday. The event, held from 29 September to 7 October, will bring together 76 shows and 36 presentations within its official programme.
Belgian designer Julie Kegels, the avant-garde brand Matières Fécales and the eponymous label of Marni's new creative director, Meryll Rogge, are among the newcomers included in the show schedule. Belgian brand Façon Jacmin appears on the list of newcomers in the presentations programme, alongside Danish brand Ganni, which showed for the first time in Paris in September 2024, but outside the official calendar.
The season will also be marked by the return of several major brands with new creative direction: French brand Jean Paul Gaultier, accompanied by Duran Lantink; Carven, with Mark Thomas; Mugler with Miguel Castro Freitas; Loewe with the duo composed of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez; and Maison Margiela (first ready-to-wear collection for its new creative director Glenn Martens). The return of Celine, Vêtements, Agnès b. Thom Browne and Lanvin has also been noted.
Among the most anticipated shows, Chanel's probably tops the list. The French brand will present the first collection designed by Matthieu Blazy, former creative director of Bottega Veneta, on Monday 6 October at 8pm GMT. Pierpaolo Piccioli's first collection for Balenciaga will also be among the season's most closely watched shows. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

EasyJet passengers 'disgusted' at what couple did in full view of everyone on flight

EasyJet passengers 'disgusted' at what couple did in full view of everyone on flight 'I had the perfect view from my aisle seat which is horrifying. I couldn't really take my eyes off even though I wanted to' A traveller was left appalled after witnessing what a couple were up to on a budget airline. (Image: Getty Images) A traveller was left appalled after witnessing what a couple were up to on a budget airline. Erin Butcher was returning home from a week-long family break in Tenerife when she spotted a man 'removing dirt from beneath his partner's toenails' aboard an easyjet flight. ‌ Erin initially observed a woman's bare feet resting on a tray table during the journey. The 27-year-old was subsequently left feeling 'revolted' when the man began to scrape at the woman's French manicured toenails before 'flicking fragments of grime' about. You can read more about a woman who slammed easyJet after being hit with 'unfair' £96 charge at the airport here. ‌ She alleged the pair continued this behaviour for 20 minutes, whilst fellow passengers chuckled awkwardly in bewilderment. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . ‌ The fashion merchandiser posted video of the nauseating incident with the caption: "Nothing beats an easyJet flight. Hope no-one ate off this tray table on the next flight." The footage was shared on TikTok on Thursday, July 31, and has subsequently gone viral, accumulating over 336,200 views. Repulsed, Erin described it as 'unsanitary' and claimed it created a 'miserable' conclusion to her break. ‌ Erin, from Southwark, South East London, said: "I felt so disgusted and I couldn't believe it. "The partner was sprawled across the seats with her feet on the tray table, which was shocking enough. Her partner then started picking at her toenails and flicking little bits [of dirt] everywhere. It was disgusting." She added: "I was absolutely horrified. I was with my family and none of us could actually believe what was happening. Even to do that in the privacy of your own home is questionable but to put them on a tray table where people are eating off all day. ‌ "I was relieved I wasn't sitting next to them. I had the perfect view from my aisle seat which is horrifying. I couldn't really take my eyes off even though I wanted to. Her feet were on that table the majority of the four-and-a-half-hour flight. She was really making herself at home. It's so unhygienic. "Other passengers around us had noticed as well. Everyone was laughing and it was quite unbelievable. As if things aren't depressing enough when your week in the sun has just ended and you're faced with toe picking the whole way home." Numerous users flocked to the comments section to voice their revulsion. One user wrote: "Totally gross." ‌ Meanwhile, someone else commented: "That's disgusting anywhere." A third added: "Save it for later." Whilst a fourth user commented: "Why on earth?". ‌ EasyJet has been contacted for comment. Content cannot be displayed without consent The incident follows another recent case where a plane passenger criticised a mother for changing her baby's soiled nappy on a tray table instead of using the aircraft toilet. ‌ She said on Reddit: "I'm a really nauseous flyer, so I took a Dramamine ahead of time and did my best to get some sleep during the flight. "This didn't happen because of the baby's crying, but oh well, I know flights are scary and stressful for infants and there was nothing anyone could do about that. "What got to me was the couple changing their baby's extremely stinky number two nappy right in the middle of their seats, using the mum's food tray as a changing table. Article continues below "We were at the back of the plane right by the toilets, which I confirmed had baby changing tables when I had to go back there to throw up after the smell hit me." To her relief, the pilot eventually condemned this behaviour - but unfortunately, it was too late to prevent the odour from permeating the cabin.

Permit Room Portobello

The first London branch of Dishoom's all-day Bombay-inspired cafe sideline can be found in the jazzed-up bones of a grand Victorian boozer on one of the city's most famous streets. Permit Room Portobello comes on the back of branches in Brighton, Oxford and Cambridge, and is, essentially, Dishoom with a side hustle as a Notting Hill creative director. It's still fairly pub-like in demeanor; there's a big long bar and cosy booths, but design-wise it's had the full Dishoom treatment; glossy wood panelling, a smattering of South Asian art, embroidery pieces, parquet flooring and potted palms. There's a slightly formal first-floor dining room – good for dimly lit dinners as well as chai-fuelled weekday co-working – but if you're popping in to hoover up an 8am bacon naan, then the more casual ground floor is where you'll want to be. When it comes to food, the menu is shorter than your standard Dishoom offering, but with dishes exclusive to the Permit Room, such as chilli-cheese naan bites, and fish chapali patties, as well as cinnamon-spiked French toast for brekkie. But what really makes the Permit Room special is the fact that it's home to a stunningly designed two-room apartment upstairs - yes, a Dishoom hotel. It's £700 a night, but could comfortably sleep four, with bouncy beds, a large living area and a view up Portobello Road that seems straight out of a Richard Curtis movie. It feels less like a hotel and more like your stylish auntie's west London bolthole, complete with fridge stocked with Mango lassi and a mini bar full of Dishoom's prebottled cocktails.

Denmark to remove 'pornographic' mermaid statue because 'breasts are too big'

The Big Mermaid was moved from its original location due to complaints from locals about the "fake and vulgar" statue that has attracted criticism over the size of its breasts Danish officials are set to remove a "pornographic" mermaid statue due to her breasts appearing to be too large. ‌ The Danish agency for palaces and culture is reportedly preparing to remove the 4x6 metre Big Mermaid from Dragør Fort, in the greater Copenhagen area, as it does not match the cultural heritage of the iconic 1910 state. The Big Mermaid was unveiled at the Langelinie Pier in Copenhagen, close to the Little Mermaid landmark. ‌ It was removed in 2018 following complaints from locals who branded it "the fake and vulgar mermaid." It was later moved to Dragør Fort until the Danish agency for palaces and culture intervened earlier this year and demanded its removal. It comes after news that an abandoned UK Butlin's site is now seaside town's 'hell hole' hotel. ‌ ‌ Art critic Mathias Kryger called the statue "ugly and pornographic," reports the Guardian. Sorine Gotfredsen, a priest and journalist, said in the Danish outlet Berlingske: "Erecting a statue of a man's hot dream of what a woman should look like is unlikely to promote many women's acceptance of their own bodies." She continued: "It's truly uplifting that many find the statue vulgar, unpoetic, and undesirable, because we're suffocating in overbearing bodies in public space." The artist behind the 14-tonne statue said he does not understand the criticism levelled against it and said its breasts are "of a proportional size" to its scale. Others noted criticisms reflect society's attitude toward women's bodies in general. Aminata Corr Throne, the debate editor of Berlingske, the scrutiny of the mermaid's breasts was akin to body shaming. She said: "Do naked female breasts have to have a specific academic shape and size to be allowed to appear in public?" ‌ While the Big Mermaid mermaid was less naked than her bronze counterpart, Corr Throne continued: "On the other hand, she has bigger breasts, and that's probably where the problem lies. "Perhaps the two statues – the Big and the Little Mermaid – represent two sides of woman, and the eternal tug of war about what a real woman is. And perhaps even what a wrong woman is." Dragør chair of the climate, urban and business committee, told the outlet that despite Bech's offer to donate it as a gift "it's just hard to fit it in. It takes up a lot of space." Bech said he created the statue in response to tourists stating the Little Mermaid was too small. He claims people in Dragør that they love the sculpture and that he is hoping to find a way to keep it in the town.
