Naeem Khan Resort 2026 Collection
Naeem Khan recently got engaged to model Madlena Kalinova, and to celebrate their upcoming nuptials the couple took a trip out to Sofia, Bulgaria together. (Kalinova is Bulgarian.) While the intention of the trip was to meet some of Kalinova's family members and visit her native country, Khan was struck with fashion inspiration while visiting. 'Bulgaria is so undiscovered, and they have such an amazing culture,' says Khan. 'It's one of the oldest civilizations in Europe.' Absorbing in the vibrant architecture and surroundings, Khan took his findings back to his design studio, where he melded Bulgarian motifs with his own signature Indian craftwork for resort. Intricate embroidery is a major fashion through-line between both cultures. 'Their embroideries reminded me of what we have in India,' said Khan. Only in Bulgaria, the designer notes, the colors and patterns of the embroideries are much more saturated, a quality he was inspired to translate into his signature evening attire, creating a sprightly mix of gowns and dresses with a joyful and upbeat feel. A pair of dramatic tiered dresses made of fringed raffia open the lookbook. One was designed in shades of cool blues, while the other was color-blocked in shades of red, pink, and orange. 'The stitching [we did] is very similar to Bulgarian stitching,' noted Khan. A long-sleeved sequin gown in a pixelated melange of pastel hues was inspired by the rugs that Khan found along his shopping adventures, and his use of gold materials made reference to the Bulgarian churches he greatly admired while playing tourist. 'They have this incredibly detailed metal work,' he said. Mining inspiration from far-flung locations is nothing new for designers, of course. For Khan, who is known for his impeccable constructions, the focus on artisanal craft made complete sense, though it would have been nice if he involved a particular Bulgarian artist or collective in the process. (The line between cultural appreciation and appropriation remains a tricky one.) But for Khan, the intent was all celebratory. 'This whole collection was based out of love—it's based on my love, who I'm going to be marrying,' he said. One has to wonder: Will he be designing his fiancé's wedding dress? 'It's going to be difficult for me not to be involved,' he hinted.

The Loftiest Looks From the Resort (aka Cruise) 2026 Runway Shows and Lookbooks
Resort may be considered an "off" season, but the looks it delivers are definitely something to write home about. Some may argue that designers save their finest creations for haute couture along with spring and summer. Those people are missing out, though. Part of the resort charm may just be because the collections are frequently displayed in far-off destinations, whether up on a runway or in lookbook form. In order to save you time because there are tons of ensembles to discover and you probably already have a pretty full plate, we took it upon ourselves to compile the definitive list of the best Resort 2026 looks. Erdem Resort 2026. Not all of the looks are vacation-ready. We're OK with that, though. Although Chanel is an exception. Its studio team obviously took the term "cruise" seriously. Spring staple florals definitely made their presence felt. Erdem naturally leads the charge as flowers are part of its DNA. This season the bouquets are very moody, tapping into the previously highlighted negative space floral print trend. Chanel took a brooch approach, while Diesel's arrangement looks like it came straight out of the mid aughts. Victoria Beckham Resort 2026. You'll be happy to hear that the no pants look is the exception, no longer the rule. Victoria Beckham is one of the outliers, but there's something adherently appealing about pairing a pistachio-colored, floor-length coat with a slightly lighter button-down half tucked into coordinating briefs. Louis Vuitton sent high-waist knit hot pants down its runway combined with a knitted top and knitted flower accents. Courrèges' contribution is an extreme high-low maxi, er, miniskirt complemented by a black shirt and white slingback flats. Then there's Antonio Marras. The brand topped off swimwear with colorful sweaters featuring a delightful destination design. A quick side note. Not many designers decided to include swimsuits in their lineups. Naeem Khan Resort 2026. While a majority of looks are designed for the daylight hours, there are several outfits begging to be taken out for a night on the town. Get your plunging neckline fix with Gucci's long-sleeve gown or Victoria Beckham's twisted, sleeveless red dress. Pants more your thing? See Naeem Khan's splashy ensemble. If there are any thoughts about having a destination wedding, look to Chanel for inspiration. Following in the tradition of the haute couture shows, the famous French fashion house opted to send a wedding dress down the catwalk as its final look. The off-white, mock-neck creation is jazzed up with layers of long necklaces and over-the-elbow opera gloves. Chanel Cruise 2026. Ready to be inspired?
