From Hermès to the wild: Basile Dadaux's Again finds form in nature

Part of a new wave of emerging labels, Again delivers a refined and poetic interpretation of outdoor fashion. Founded in Paris in 2022 by Basile Dadaux—whose experience includes time at Hermès —the menswear and gender-neutral brand crafts urban silhouettes using premium, carefully sourced materials, inspired by natural landscapes. After showing at Pitti Uomo, Again is now featured at Run, the multi-brand showroom organized by Who's Next in partnership with Andam, through June 29. A must-see this season. For Spring/Summer 2026, Dadaux shifts his creative focus from broader geographic inspirations—such as deserts and Breton river estuaries—to a more intimate one: the countryside of his native Jura region. 'I'm moved by nature's beauty, especially in a time when it's fading,' he reflects. The collection captures the transition from spring to summer in this semi-rural landscape, as it becomes lush and overgrown. Knitwear in greige tones sprouts with flocked floral motifs. A crocheted ecru jumper is embroidered with wildflowers and features a sailor collar. A black tailored jacket comes in crinkled nylon, while a four-pocket version crafted from white denim uses a high-relief thread technique for a soft, fuzzy effect—paired with matching Bermuda shorts. A lightweight seersucker shirt with a papery texture ties at the side and is also reinterpreted as a raincoat. A pale pink waxed cotton trench coat brings a romantic note to the collection. The lineup is completed by long-sleeve boat-neck tees and ultra-soft tank tops crafted from lyocell and lightweight wool. 'I'm becoming more centered on tactile memories and sensations from childhood, all linked to nature,' Dadaux explains. 'I love working with fabric—borrowing from technical wear to create something more fashion-forward. I use performance textiles in a way that's elegant, detached from their outdoor origin, and blend them with natural fabrics. I've also introduced more knitwear to soften the technical feel.' Again is currently stocked at select high-end retailers in Japan, including Gilt, L'Echoppe, and AMMS, and at Margaret Studio in Caen, France. Its online store attracts customers primarily from Nordic countries. After earning a degree in fashion design in Lyon, Dadaux graduated from Lisaa in 2017. He interned at Jean Paul Gaultier, working on haute couture shows, before joining Hermès as an assistant designer for women's ready-to-wear. 'It felt like a second school—intensely rigorous and highly skilled,' he says. 'But after the Covid lockdown, I knew it was time to strike out on my own.' Production is split between Tunisia (general manufacturing), Spain (knitwear), and Portugal (jersey), while technical fabrics are sourced from South Korea. Prices range from €80 for jersey pieces to €550 for windbreakers. Shirts fall between €200 and €300, while the waxed cotton trench retails for €750. The padded jacket continues to be the brand's most popular piece. Backed by two buyers from leading Parisian department stores, Dadaux hopes that this dual presence in Florence and Paris will elevate the label's visibility this season.

Grim interactive tracker shows how safe you'll be if nuclear bomb hits

WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. As fears over the potential threat of nuclear warfare continue to escalate, the Mirror takes a look at what such a catastrophic outcome might look like, using a disturbing online tracker A grim tracker illustrates exactly how safe or unsafe you'll be in the event of a nuclear attack, making for a sobering visual reminder of the horrors of this type of warfare. Designed by science and nuclear technology historian Alex Wellerstein, NUKEMAP allows you to see the impact an atomic weapon could have on your local area. The results are difficult to forget. ‌ You can select a location from anywhere on the planet, from Philadelphia to Beijing. This includes historical sites such as Nagasaki, Japan, where 74,000 people lost their lives in the summer of 1945, when a plutonium implosion-type nuclear weapon was detonated by the US. ‌ For the purposes of this article, I dragged the location to Canary Wharf, the location of the Mirror offices. I then selected the type of weapon used, selecting from the available presets. With a range of choices that cannot help but spark a shudder, you can pick from warheads such as 'Tsar Bomba', the largest USSR bomb tested at 100 Mt. Again, or 'Little Boy' (15Kt), the atomic bomb that decimated the Japanese city of Hiroshima, wiping out 140,000 citizens. You can also choose between two types of blast. The first category is 'surface' bombs, which detonate on or close to the ground, creating a larger crater and more localised damage, but with a smaller blast radius. The second is 'airburst' bombs, which detonate in the air and, with a wide blast radius, are designed to cause maximum damage to infrastructure. For this purpose, I initially opted for the airburst category, which is arguably the more likely choice for an aggressor targeting an urban area. I start off with the largest Pakistani weapon ever tested (45 kt). The simulation showed a fatality estimate of 70,820 and an injury estimate of 435,320. Horrifyingly, this was far from the most catastrophic blast. ‌ I then moved on to the TN 80/81, the largest current warhead in the French arsenal, at 300kt. This time, the death toll sat at a chilling 353,280, with an estimated 1,306,250 injuries. Finally, I chose the preset for the formidable "Castle Bravo", the largest US bomb tested at 15 Mt. This time, I chose the 'surface' option, with the simulated advising that this setting wouldn't be suitable for this setting. It's not a comfortable way to think. Again, there was a sharp escalation, with a shocking 2,397,310 fatalities and 2,738,190 injuries. ‌ Back in 2021, Hiroshima survivor Chieko Kiriake warned that advancements in nuclear technology mean a contemporary attack would be even more dangerous. Testifying on behalf of Hiroshima Speaks Out, Chieko, now 95, warned: "Current nuclear weapons are hundreds of times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If war broke out and nuclear weapons were ever used, the Earth would be destroyed. It is important that each of us continues to try to push the seeds of war deeper down the corridors so that war will not happen." This follows US attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran, sparking concerns over the potential for escalating nuclear conflict among global superpowers. Iran 's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has now warned there will be "everlasting consequences" following US President Donald Trump's assertion that "great American Warriors" had conducted a "very successful attack" on the sites of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. ‌ Taking to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Araghchi said: "Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behaviour. In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defence, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people." British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also issued a statement on the matter: "Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat. "The situation in the Middle East remains volatile, and stability in the region is a priority. We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis."
