Roberto Coin names Dakota Johnson global brand ambassador
The collaboration kicks off with a global campaign, lensed by fashion photographer Craig McDean. Shot in Venice, a city that has influenced designs and inspired many brand collections, the campaign channels the classic Italian beauty and contemporary elegance that defines Roberto Coin.
Launching in June, the campaign will run in two phases through May 2027 across global platforms. Johnson wears signature pieces from the house's most iconic collections, including Love in Verona, Venetian Princess, Navarra, Obelisco, Tiaré, and Cobra, in both video and still imagery.
Johnson will also make global appearances and participate in creative initiatives.
'I've always believed that jewelry tells a story—of who you are, where you've been, and what you love,' said Johnson.
'Roberto Coin's pieces are full of depth and meaning, and I'm honored to help bring that spirit to life through this collaboration. There's romance, strength, and bold femininity in every design.'
Johnson, whose career spans over two decades, is also a passionate advocate for mental health awareness.
'Dakota Johnson is a true original. I love her expressions—an artist with authenticity, depth, and a unique ability to connect,' said Roberto Coin, founder and creative director.
'We are proud to welcome her to the Roberto Coin family and to collaborate on a campaign that speaks to the heart of who we are.'

Fédération unveils bumper Paris ready-to-wear season, with nine designer debuts
France's Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode on Thursday unveiled a bumper Paris ready-to-wear catwalk season, bristling with nine designer debuts and key houses, in the most anticipated Paris Fashion Week this century. See catwalk The French's capital's two most famous fashion houses, Chanel and Christian Dior, will both feature women's ready-to-wear show debuts by their freshly appointed creative directors – Matthieu Blazy and Jonathan Anderson, even if the latter has already had his Dior menswear baptism with a men's show in June. A further seven major labels will stage debut shows by new creative talent. They are the hyper-experienced Mark Howard Thomas at Carven; Michael Rider at Celine; Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough at Loewe; Duran Lantink at Jean-Paul Gaultier; Glenn Martens at Maison Margiela; Miguel Castro Freitas at Mugler and the acclaimed Italian master Pier Paolo Piccioli at Balenciaga. Though, it should be noted, Rider did show a special spring 2026 Celine co-ed collection on the eve of Paris couture season at the start of July, while Martens presented his first couture collection for Margiela three days later. In effect, these first six houses and a further four – Agnès B, Lanvin, Thom Browne and Vetements - are all returning to the Paris ready-to-wear catwalk week after a hiatus ranging from one season to over five years in the case of Gaultier, since founder Jean-Paul stepped down in 2020. All told, there will be a hefty grand total of 76 physical catwalk shows, and 36 by-appointment presentations in this fall's nine-day Paris Fashion Week, which runs from Monday, September 29 to Tuesday, October 7. The clothes displayed will be for spring/summer 2026. See catwalk The FHCM, French fashion's governing body, has also welcomed on to the official calendar two very happening new houses. Matières Fécales, or Fecal Matters, founded by Hannah Rose and Steven Raj, who are known for their extremist glamour and post-human aesthetic. They will show after Louis Vuitton on Tuesday, September 30. Meryll Rogge, the highly popular winner of the latest ANDAM fashion prize, will climax the busy season with a 6 p.m. show on October 7. Rogge has also just been named the new creative director of Jil Sander, which shows in Milan. While, hyper-acclaimed Alaia alumna Julie Kegels will stage a must-see show on the opening Monday. Entrance onto the official Federation calendar is notoriously difficult to achieve, given French insistence on maintaining a uniquely high level of creativity, quality, production and staging in Paris. Which makes it a significant achievement that a further two houses have been approved to stage presentations on the official calendar: eco-conscious label Façon Jacmin from sisters Alexandra and Segolène Jacmin and Ganni, the hipster Danish label from husband-and-wife team Nicklas and Ditte Reffstrup. Torishéju, by the talented British designer of Nigerian-Brazilian origin Torishéju Dumi, will stage an off-calendar presentation. This bumper Fashion Week – with shows running from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily - will also feature global bold face labels like Louis Vuitton, Schiaparelli, Balenciaga and Hermès, along with indie houses led by hot talent, like Courrèges, Dries Van Noten or Tom Ford and a triumvirate of legendary Japanese houses - Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons and Issey Miyake. See catwalk Plus, there will be a series of highly talented female designer who have of late staged their most evolved collections in Paris for their own brands or as guns for hire – Victoria Beckham, Gabriela Hearst, Stella McCartney, The Row and Givenchy. Fasten your seat belts for the kickiest season in decades.

AYT Studio carves a path between contemporary fashion and artistic expression
Like the great painters and sculptors, fashion designers and luxury brands now find themselves featured in retrospectives in museums around the world. While the number of links between fashion and art has multiplied over the past decade, the motivations of those involved in the ready-to-wear sector can be diverse, ranging from the search for artistic legitimacy to the creation of new experiences or successful commercial operations. For Yasmine El Kadiri, who worked for Kenzo, Celine, and Saint Laurent as a merchandising specialist, and who was at the forefront of observing this flourishing of collections centred around artworks and artists, this trend represents an opportunity. "When I observed these initiatives, they were often linked to an artist's work. But I believe there exists a space to create a dialogue with artists, where the artist participates in and influences the creative process. For me, creative engagement is a driving force, even though I have a commercial background. I have this desire for co-creation." The designer first put her concept to the test in the IFM Entrepreneurship program, before developing the first AYT Studio collection from mid-2024, with the intention of creating limited editions around her collaborations with artists. "I wanted to approach these collections under the concept of editions because I didn't want the work to be associated with a particular season, there's a kind of timelessness." For this first edition, the designer has collaborated with Lille-based artist Remed (Guillaume Alby) to translate the painter's works into garments. Together, they explored the possibilities of using details from certain artworks to create prints. The collaboration covers around twenty pieces, focusing on flowing viscose dresses featuring all-over prints. Produced in Italian workshops, the garments echo Remed's graphic and colourful work. Shirts, t-shirts, silk squares, and leather bags, made in the Tarn region of France, make up a comprehensive, colourful wardrobe that has been divided into four chapters. "I work in print, which is a niche in the fashion world, but it's an interesting expression in terms of colour and volume," said the entrepreneur. "I appeal to a community that is sensitive to the artistic approach. I think in terms of silhouettes, with dresses, shirts, but also accessories," said the designer, who is proud of her local sourcing. "And while each edition will explore the work of a particular artist, I can also express the AYT Studio style through contemporary cuts, fluidity and optimism, as well as the presence of certain pieces that are my references, like oversized shirts. I want to add markers that will reassure the customer." The brand can be found online via its aesthetic e-commerce store, but Yasmine El Kadiri relies on physical encounters to best express her concept. This approach was validated after a pop-up in the Marais district of Paris in spring, in which Remed's works mirrored the clothes on display, enabling the label to reach both French and international customers. The designer is continuing in this vein, exhibiting her creations until the end of July at the We Are club in Paris, located on rue Saint-Honoré and dedicated to the creative industries. The brand will then move on to the new We Are location in Lille, at 22, place Louise-de-Bettignies, in the heart of Vieux-Lille. This will be followed by another installation for a few days in the Parisian space, during the next Women's Fashion Week. "This period is also an opportunity to meet buyers, particularly department stores who are interested in concepts that blend different universes. I'm convinced that in the plethora of ready-to-wear on offer, what's going to make the difference is authenticity and commitment. The relationship with wholesale can take time, but there are opportunities around different venues, such as art foundations, and I'm a big believer in hotels. These are places where it's possible to express this relationship between the collection and the artist's work", said the entrepreneur, who is moving ahead with partnerships with resorts, to offer her editions as cruise collections. With its original concept, beyond seducing buyers, AYT Studio is also imagining a new approach to fashion distribution.
