Moschino Spring 2026 Menswear Collection

Vogue18-06-2025
Franco Moschino's contribution to fashion deserves study not only for his irreverent challenge to the bourgeois status quo through style—he was, at heart, an intelligent and elegant designer who championed chic laced with a sly sense of humor—but also for his semantic flair, using wording to toe the line between critique and witty insouciance. It's a legacy that's anything but easy to revive, yet Adrian Appiolaza, now at the helm of the brand, appears to be charting his own path forward. His take is part surreal irony, part high-spirited eccentricity, tempered by a keen eye on the market's currents. For resort, he teamed up with co-conspirator and lensman Chris Rhodes to stage a roving fantasy holiday—from gambling away your fortunes in Las Vegas to channeling your inner explorer in the Grand Canyon, with a quick supermarket pit stop to restock your supplies. After sweating it all out at the local gym (even dream vacations require a modicum of discipline), the itinerary wrapped with a motel poolside Christmas party, complete with Santas, tinsel stoles, and gowns streaked with shooting stars. 'It's almost if you dress up with your Christmas decorations,' joked Appiolaza. 'I don't want to be too conceptual, or niche.'
The wardrobe for such a whirlwind travel itinerary leaned heavily on dynamic sportswear and activewear—reimagined, deconstructed, and crossbred. Tailoring morphed into leisurewear via cozy fabrics, while tracksuits got an upgrade in suiting textiles. Surreal trompe l'oeils were never far: a classic trench sprouted sleeves inspired by the Tie Me Bag; a bikini was improbably woven into a turtleneck; slot machine screens exploded into prints on shirts and tunics; a tailored blazer came cinched with a boxer's waistband; and, naturally, one handbag took the form of a fish. 'Chaos is one of the most inspiring concepts I've picked up from Franco Moschino,' said Appiolaza. 'Fashion often fixates on a single message. But his whole ethos was about resisting restriction, embracing individuality, and—most importantly—limiting the limitations. Freedom means everything to me.'

Charli XCX's Post-Wedding Style Is Less Bridal, More Glastonbury

Following her City Hall wedding last weekend, Charli XCX is already back to work. While the singer has a bigger bash scheduled, don't expect her to exhaust bridal whites. Just days after her wedding, Charli traded her Vivienne Westwood minidress for an outfit that could have just as well belonged at Glastonbury. And, in many ways, she took some cues from last month's headlining performance look. For her Day Four set, Charli hit the stage in three multicolored Alexander McQueen skull scarves, rejiggered to make a crop top, which she paired with black leather microshorts, a pair of maroon knee-high boots, and wraparound shades. Joseph Okpako Click News and Media / BACKGRIDUSA Earlier this week, Charli followed a similar outfit formula. She eschewed the scarf top for a black one-shoulder top and draped herself in an ecru pashmina, but stayed loyal to the microshorts in a gray-brown pair with similarly miniature pockets. She also hung onto her knee-high boots, donning a pair of black motos, and wore her large black shades. A noted fan of Anthony Vaccarello, she carried a quilted black Saint Laurent bag. While her style may be leaning more Glasto, Charli XCX still has time to make bridal style bratty before her trip down the aisle.

Are We Seriously Wearing Bloomers Again? The Return of the Revolutionary, Risqué Pants

We have hit peak trouser. In the past year, designers have given us pants with waists high and low, with voluminous pleats and second-skin fits, designs that barrel and flare and taper and crop. They've offered fringe and sequins, leather and crushed satin and see-through netting. Like current events, trousers are everything, everywhere, all at once. This summer, after percolating for months on TikTok, bloomers, aka harem pants, aka genie pants, have joined the mix.

Cardi B Channels Dolly Parton With Bird's Nest Hairdo at the Balenciaga Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris

Cardi B took a style cue from Dolly Parton with bombshell bird's nest hair at the Balenciaga fall 2025 couture show in Paris on Wednesday morning. The artist's voluminous hairdo reached new heights with foot-long extensions that were tied and teased on top of Cardi B's head; her ends maintained the shape of the wide-barrel rollers that formed them. The inky tresses stuck out behind her, falling from the BumpIt positioned on the crown of her head.

TikTok-er-turned-pop star Addison Rae just sported the same dramatic aesthetic in the music video for her new hit, 'Times Like These,' which sees her undergo a major transformation from wet to wind-blown hair. Rae's grandiose style was designed by hair artist Lucas Wilson, whose client list includes models Gabbriette and Emily Ratajkowski. Cardi B's hair was most likely designed by Tokyo Stylez, her go-to hairstylist, with whom she's worked with on cover shoots and concert looks. Her makeup, on the other hand, bore a unique resemblance to trends from a later era. Her finely plucked, angled eyebrows, a burgeoning brow theme these days, harked back to the beauty aesthetics of the late '80s and early '90s, as did her bold red lip and shimmery purple shadow. Nothing about her visage spoke to the 'clean girl,' no-makeup trend that's consumed the online mecca since 2020. In fact, her made-up countenance drew comparisons to Doja Cat's punky makeup at the 2025 Met Gala in May. There, the 'Streets' vocalist wore aquatic shadow up to her skinny brows and matte lipstick in a dark crimson hue. For her fashion at the Balenciaga presentation, Cardi B donned a delicate long-sleeve, floral gown with intricate beading woven into the mesh fabric. She paired the sultry garment with sheer stockings and pointed-toe pumps. Elsewhere at the show, Lisa Rinna sported a relaxed, toned-down ensemble, consisting of a cocooning cobalt tracksuit and a straightened black bowl-cut wig similar to Anderson .Paak's signature 'do.
