Nothing Is What It Seems in Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's "Ordinary People" Spring 2026 Collection
Mastered byMaison Mihara Yasuhirois the skill of splicing – literally piecing together garments, eras, and silhouettes that might otherwise never comingle. The designer's Spring 2026 Paris runway was no exception, taking the art of fashioning the familiar and the fanciful, the past and the present, the 'high fashion' with the low, envisioning a Frankenstein'd, far-from-ordinary assortment of future-facing apparel and accessories.
Entitled 'Ordinary People,' the designer's Spring 2026 range speaks to today's news cycle, particularly a commentary on that in Japan. 'In Japan, it doesn't take much to make the news,' he said after the show, perVogue Runway. 'Things like extramarital affairs and smoking scandals can become national stories, but in the world, there are wars, famines, and so much misery.'
'Nowadays, people tag people on social media. If you deviate from the norm, you get tagged,' he continued. 'So I made this for those people. It's a message to people who just want to live a normal life.'
Blazers, suits, and overcoats are paired with sweatpants and cargo shorts on the bottom, while half-buttoned Oxford shirts hang loosely over basic tanks and graphic tees. Tuned into innovating the trompe l'oeil technique since early on, Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's Spring 2026 centerfold is its deceiving jacketing silhouettes. On many jackets – denim jackets, varsity jackets, and Sukajan bombers alike – the sleeves are split in half, simply hanging over the look rather than actually encasing the arm.
Introduced about a fifth of the way through the runway, comes a collaboration with British-Indian artistNavinder Nangla, his infamous 'Fassion Weak' motif stamped alongside other misspelled tagging like 'Khaos' and different plays on 'Ordinary People.'
'Don't Tag Me' is another slogan that surfaces throughout the range, imprinted in the center of crewnecks and cardigans. As for accessories, models carry catch-all bags shaped like stuffed animals, totes filled with flowers, and don banana-chain necklaces.

Movie Review: In ‘Heads of State,' a buddy comedy with statesmen
Say what you will about the Idris Elba-John Cena vehicle 'Heads of State,' but it's surely the first buddy comedy about the fraying bonds of NATO. The potential collapse of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization plays a surprisingly pivotal role in this fitfully diverting, for-background-noise-only, straight-to-streaming movie. Elba plays the embattled British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, while Cena co-stars as the recently elected U.S. President Will Derringer, a former action star. 'Heads of State,' directed by Ilya Naishuller ('Nobody'), is mostly about their relationship, a tense and adversarial one challenged further when an assassination plot leaves them stranded together in Belarus. But that 'Heads of State,' which debuts Wednesday on Prime Video, is such a mild romp makes it all the more surprising to hear a line uttered like: 'If NATO falls, there's backstop against despots and dictators.'not It's a funny time to release a comedy set around international political disconnection and imperiled Western democracy. But if you were beginning to worry that 'Heads of State' is too timely, don't. Any nods to current events here serve more as reminders of how much 'Heads of State' — like most of Hollywood's output — is unengaged with anything resembling our political reality. You could argue that that's not necessarily a bad thing. You could also argue that the greater sin of 'Heads of State' is underusing Stephen Root. (He plays an expert working for the bad guys.) But the vaguest hints of real-world intrigue only cast a pale light on the movie's mostly lackluster comic chops and uninspired action sequences. The best thing going for 'Heads of State' is that the chemistry between Elba and Cena is solid. The 'Suicide Squad' co-stars trade barbs with a genial ease. Most of the time, those revolve around their characters' divergent histories — Clarke was a commando before becoming a politician — in debates like which one of them is 'gym strong' as opposed to 'strong strong.' That's one of the few decent gags in the script by Josh Applebaum, Andre Nemec and Harrison Query. But one problem in 'Heads of State' goes beyond the high-concept set-up. The best buddy comedies — 'Midnight Run,' '48 Hrs.,' 'The Nice Guys' — are predicated on opposites thrown together. Elba and Cena have their obvious differences. (Cena's Derringer is exaggeratedly optimistic here, too.) But ultimately they're both beefy dudes in suits. As the MI6 agent Noel Bisset, Priyanka Chopra Jones gives the movie a kick. But her scenes are left to the beginning and end of the movie. In between, we're left to wonder where she went, how two political leaders would have such non-existent security and whether a few half-decent jokes are enough to forgive the movie's geopolitical delusions. 'Heads of State,' an Amazon MGM Studios release is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for sequences of strong violence/action, language and some smoking. Running time: 113 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

Bruce Lee Club closes archive doors citing operating costs
Bruce Lee aficionados gathered at a Hong Kong mini-museum dedicated to the legendary martial artist to bid farewell to the site on Tuesday, as operating expenses forced the itinerant archive to close once again. The Bruce Lee Club, which was founded by the Lee family, had put a collection of about 2,000 artefacts, including decades-old magazines and a large sculpture showing the superstar's iconic moves, on display in the bustling Yau Ma Tei neighbourhood in 2001. But a rent increase shut the project in 2016. Three years and a move to industrial Kwun Tong later, the club began welcoming visitors to see the collection again just before democracy protests roiled the city, dampening tourism. In a statement, the club wrote that the social movement followed by the Covid-19 pandemic had "severely disrupted" plans for the archive. "We anticipated a recovery, yet reality fell short," it said. "The accumulated expenses over these six years have compelled us to rethink how to most effectively utilise our resources to sustain the flame of Bruce Lee's spirit." It added that it will "explore new ways" to engage with the public, but for now, ahead of what would have been Lee's 85th birthday, it is shutting shop. At least temporarily, all the assorted ephemera related to the Hong Kong icon will be boxed up and stored. Born in San Francisco in 1940, Bruce Lee was raised in British-run Hong Kong and had an early brush with fame as a child actor. He later became one of the first Asian men to achieve Hollywood stardom before his death at the age of 32. - 'Never give up' - At the unassuming Kwun Tong archive on Tuesday, visitor and martial arts coach Andy Tong called it a "great pity" to lose the place. "(Lee) helped build the image of the Chinese and overseas Chinese in the Western world," Tong, 46, said. While the superstar is widely beloved and celebrated in the city, with frequent retrospectives and exhibitions staged, fans have struggled to ensure organised and systematic preservation. In 2004, petitioners successfully managed to get a bronze statue of Lee installed on Hong Kong's famed harbourfront, but a campaign to revitalise his former residence failed to spare it from demolition in 2019. Bruce Lee Club's chairman W Wong said the Hong Kong government lacks long-term and continuous planning for preserving Lee's legacy. But he added the Club "will never give up" their dedication to championing Lee's spirit. "Although Bruce has passed away, his spirit continues to inspire people of all kinds," Lee's 76-year-old brother Robert Lee told AFP. "I believe, rather than hope, the spirit of Bruce Lee will forever remain here (in Hong Kong)." twa/lb/rsc
