Bed j.w. Ford Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Elegance has been one of the main recurring themes at the men's collections this season. Many designers are grappling with what it means in a post-streetwear, post-covid world to dress with ease, sophistication and effortlessness. Soft tailoring, glitzy embellishment and pajama silhouettes abound. A brand for whom elegance is not just a trend but part of its DNA is Bed j.w. Ford, whose floaty and romantic tailoring has been throwing dressed-up flair since its debut show back in 2016. Building on last season's theme of 'alternative elegance,' this tight spring collection was a continuation of Shinpei Yamagishi's exploration of elegance rendered in clothing. When asked what elegance means to him at his quaint presentation in Le Marais today, the designer smiled. 'It's a very difficult question for me to answer,' he sighed. 'I've been searching for it for a long time. I have a strong desire for it and an image of elegance, but when I'm asked what it means, I run away.' To make that image a reality, he drew inspiration from the easy nostalgia of Normal Rockwell. 'When I look at his paintings, I think that even though I haven't experienced that, they make me feel nostalgic and happy, I aimed to channel that mood in the collection,' he said. That translated into a relatively pared back (at least for Yamagishi) and bijou collection that included oversized flocked denim jackets, softly marled tailoring, and a Chanel tweed-inspired jacket made from knitted black cotton. Flourishes of Bed j.w. Ford glamour came through in the metallic brocade scarves, glittery socks and a shock of scarlet tailoring. Something completely new for the brand was polka dots, which appeared on neckties and sheer shirts. Close inspection revealed that each little dot was rough around the edges, as though they had each been hand-drawn. Elegant indeed. What Yamagishi doesn't say with words, he says with clothes.

Popular San Francisco bakery reports ‘explosive' Castro break-in
A popular French bakery in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood was burglarized Friday night, a crime the owners said involved an explosive device, marking the latest blow to the small business already reeling from the impending closure of another high-profile location. 'Our Castro location was broken into and robbed again last night, and all our tablets, registers, safe, cash from the days before, once again stolen,' Le Marais Bakery wrote on social media Saturday. 'It seems they put an explosive on the window. Sometimes it's really not easy being a family business in San Francisco.' The bakery said this was not the first time its Castro shop has been targeted. The incident occurred during Pride Month, typically a busy season for the café, which is decorated for the celebrations and offers a special Pride-themed crêpe, with proceeds benefiting the San Francisco LGBT Center. The break-in comes on the heels of another setback for Le Marais. Earlier this month, the owners announced that their Grande Crêperie in the Ferry Building will close June 30 after management declined to renew the lease. The café, which opened in 2022, had undergone extensive renovations, according to owners Joanna and Patrick Ascaso, who said they invested $150,000 of their own funds into the space. 'We learned this week another small business went up to our busy, love-filled Grande Creperie space, and even though we had our lease renewed, it was given to them,' they wrote in a Friday post. 'Now they will be able to open in no time, because of our hard work and financial investment. It's so unfair that this is allowed to happen.' Instead, they were informed weeks before the lease expired that another tenant would take over. Building management said the lease was always short-term and that the change aligns with a broader strategy to expand evening offerings. Despite the recent challenges, Le Marais continues to operate other locations across San Francisco and Marin.

Several Paris Jewish institutions sprayed with green paint
Police found the paint damage early on Saturday on the Shoah Memorial, which is the Holocaust museum in Paris. (AP pic) PARIS : Five Jewish institutions were sprayed with green paint in Paris overnight and an investigation has been opened, a police source said on Saturday. Police found the paint damage early on Saturday on the Shoah Memorial, which is the Holocaust museum in Paris, three synagogues and a restaurant in the historic Jewish neighbourhood of Le Marais, the source said. Interior minister Bruno Retailleau said on X that he was disgusted by these 'despicable acts targeting the Jewish community'. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said in a post on X later on Saturday that he was 'appalled by the attack' on Jewish institutions in the French capital. 'I call on the French authorities to act swiftly, and firmly to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to defend the Jewish community from hatred and attacks of any kind,' Herzog said. It was not yet known who committed the damage, or why. The interior ministry did not respond to a request for comment on details of the incidents. France has seen a rise in hate crimes: last year police recorded an 11% rise in racist, xenophobic or antireligious crimes, according to official data published in March. The figures did not break down the attacks on different religions.
