Adam Lippes Shares His Little Black Book Of Kyoto
Japan, Kyoto: Tempel Ryoanji. (Photo by Vodjani/ullstein bild via Getty Images) ullstein bild via Getty Images New York designer Adam Lippes began his career at Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta, where he climbed the ranks to become Global Creative Director of the Maison, before launching his own label, ADAM in the early noughties, and later rebranding it under his name over a decade ago. Adam Lippes Resort '26 collection Adam Lippes Synonymous with refinement and elegance, his latest collection draws inspiration from Kyoto, he says, 'Resort 2026 is inspired by my travels through Japan, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, and the mountain town of Shuzenji, where I was captivated by a culture continually in search of a higher form of perfection. This collection reflects Japan's blend of tradition and modernity, utility and decoration, and its ongoing dialogue with Western culture, particularly through Amekaji, or 'American Casual,' a style that reinterprets American workwear through a Japanese lens.' Adam Lippes Resort '26 collection Adam Lippes He continues, 'Prints reference both Japanese and American traditions: a floral print inspired by a Meiji period lacquer box seen in placed prints and hand-loomed lurex jacquard, a diamond hishi motif inspired by Japanese quilting, and heritage plaids and stripes reminiscent of vintage American workwear.' Adam Lippes Resort '26 collection Adam Lippes And, when it comes to materiality, we learn that 'over a third of the fabrics are sourced from Japan, including 16oz indigo denim, textured wool suiting, and cotton poplin. These are paired with Italian double-face satin, lacquered wool, and delicate fil-coupé designed to resemble brushstrokes.' This nods another influence, in the from of Robert Motherwell's Lyric Suite, a series of ink paintings, 'Their distinctive materiality comes from the delicate, translucent rice paper Motherwell chose over traditional canvas, while showing a deep appreciation for the paper's unique qualities and cultural significance,' shares Lippes. To celebrate the Resort '26 line, Lippes has shares his favorite Kyoto spots. Designer Adam Lippes Adam Lippes Where To Eat For an unforgettable kaiseki experience, you should have dinner at Kinobu. The porcelain is made by some of the Japanese greats, and the service and food are impeccable. Even if you're not staying at Tawaraya, their tempura restaurant, Ten You, takes tempura to a new level. And if you're looking for something more casual, Torisaki is one of my personal favorites. Best Coffee & Tea Spots Kaikado Café & Roastery is the perfect blend of heritage and modern design. For something truly special, Chorakukan is located in a beautiful historic Western-style mansion. My favorite is Ogata, their tea is a staple in our office and salon, and it's how I prefer to welcome special clients. Japan, Kyoto: Tempel Ryoanji.

There's also the Kyoto Costume Institute (KCI) Gallery is a must for anyone interested in fashion history. Japan, Kyoto: Teichgarten auf dem Gelände des Tempel Ryoanji. (Photo by Vodjani/ullstein bild via Getty Images) ullstein bild via Getty Images Hosoo, a centuries-old textile house, is not only architecturally stunning but also deeply inspiring in its craftsmanship. Their kimono collection left me in awe, and the family which has run the weaving house for generations still welcomes guests. Hidden Gems Tucked away in the heart of Kyoto, Bar K-ya serves some of the best cocktails I've ever had. It's small, quiet, and full of character. I still dream of their 'old fashion.' Where To Shop On all of my trips, I am determined to find the best shop for antiques which I quickly found at Tessaido. For vintage textiles, Konjaku Nishimura is also a hidden treasure. And for denim lovers, Momotaro Jeans just opened a new store in Kyoto last year that's worth a visit. For Design Inspiration Meeting artisans like Raku and the team at Hosoo, each preserving family legacies for generations, was deeply moving. Beauty and respect are everywhere, which is so different from what we experience in our normal day to day. The culture leads with the importance of aesthetic and careful attention to detail.

Huishan Zhang's latest line channels socialites and sophistication.
Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang For his Resort 2026 collection, London-based designer Huishan Zhang looked to one of the most infamous New York socialites, Nan Kempner. A woman known for her presence and influence in fashion and society, she was a generation-defining socialite who's circle included the chic and and the cultured, from Yves Saint Laurent (he once described her having 'the body of a hanger' which she took as the highest compliment), to Diana Vreeland, Bill Blass, and fellow uptown girl Babe Paley. Nan Kempner and Kenneth Jay Lane, preview, Christie's auction house, New York, New York, 1989. (Photo by) Getty Images She exuded elegance but she wasn't without a rebellious streak, famously dining at a brasserie in just her Saint Laurent blazer after being told trousers weren't allowed. It was defiance but Nan made it chic, and it's exactly this spirit that Zhang channels in his latest collection. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang Expect his signature head-turning silhouettes, sophistication and feminine strength, as well as embroidery that serves as both intricate decoration and armor. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang Here, Zhang talks about his latest collection, from muses to couture mastery, structure to softness, and eternal elegance. Huishan Zhang: For me, Nan's beauty truly embodies a natural sophistication that is paired with a rebellious spirit that is totally unapologetic yet so refined. This is what really sets the tone for this collection. We can't talk about Nan without mentioning that iconic moment of her removing her Saint Laurent trousers and nonchalantly wearing just the jacket to dine at a brasserie. Her confidence is assertive but with no intention to intimidate. That's exactly the spirit that I wanted to capture for Resort 26. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang HZ: Elegance versus rebellion is a key theme that runs through this collection. Nan's rebellion was never loud or vulgar but always quietly confident and effortlessly elegant. That was the energy I wanted to convey in this collection and in the clothes. From the strength of the tailoring and structure of the tweed sets, and subversiveness of our faux leather that is balanced by the sensuality of the embroidered slip dresses and the softness and fluidity of the evening wear. It's this idea of the elements that contrast harmoniously coinciding together. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: How did you approach the tension between masculine tailoring and feminine detail? HZ: It goes back to this interplay between softness and structure. I wanted to build a synergy between the juxtaposition of masculine tailoring and feminine sensuality. The silhouette in the collection is defined by the tension between fluidity and form. Structure builds the core of this collection, and the fluid fabrics, delicate sheer layering and intricate embellishments gives character and emotion. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: The embroidery is described as both armour and adornment, which look reflects this the most? HZ: Look 3 is a good reflection of this notion. The embroidery and embellishment on the sensual sheer soft slip skirt adds a decadent and decorative element, but it also creates a layer of weight and structure that accentuates the silhouette and acts as a protective cage-like armour that shields the lower body. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: How does the Resort 2026 collection connect to what you've done before and where you're going? HZ: For me it's about creating a design language that consistently continues to empower confidence in femininity, and to reinforce the strength of quiet elegance. For Resort 2026, I wanted to make the identity and portrait of our woman more vivid and assertive, and how she dresses and what she wears is just a natural extension of her character. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: What's one detail in this collection that people might miss but that means a lot to you? HZ: The fabrication in all the tailoring pieces in this collection has elasticity in them, which you will not be aware of from just the images. Although the cuts are structured and tailored in its silhouette, the stretch in the fabric allows for movement and comfort. It's important for me that the woman wearing my collections feels confident and can approach her every day with ease. The feeling of restraint and restriction in clothing kills one's confidence completely. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: What's one rule of elegant dressing that always guides your approach? HZ: The one rule to elegant dressing is that it needs to feel natural and not imposed. For me, true elegance comes from within, and the clothing and how your dress should just effortlessly compliment that. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang See more on

5 Lessons in Light Layering From Max Mara's Resort 2026 Show
Photo: Max Mara Resort 2026 We've seen countless renditions of three-piece suits with trousers, but now, Griffiths presents the shorts-suit: a contemporary take on the silhouette that blends androgyny with a romantic touch. Shorts, tailored, high-waisted and crafted from wool silk mohair, gave a flirty yet powerful punch to the show's opening look. Rather than worn with button-down blouses, shorts suits were presented with bralettes or corset-inspired bustiers with boning detail giving a fitted, feminine look to counter the loose nature of the blazer. Slip dress with a trench There's a concept central to Italian fashion – it's called bella figura. 'Italian brands are not so interested in experimenting with your body or with your appearance, or being avant garde. They've always been about clothes that you can wear easily, with nonchalance – to make you look and feel good, light and wearable, with a casual if not sporty feel to it,' elaborates Griffiths. Photo: Max Mara Resort 2026 Photo: Max Mara Resort 2026 Nowhere was this better epitomised on the runway than in the looks that paired silky slip dresses with light trenches, playing with proportion in a way that challenged conventionality. The combination of figure-hugging inner dresses with loose coats and jackets, finished off with sleek loafers and sometimes, oversized Whitney totes, gave an air of mystique to the Max Mara woman. Is she on her way to work? A date? Perhaps both – for the brand has skilfully mastered the craft of versatility for the modern, multitasking woman on-the-go. Reverse-shirt layering 'For this year. I've been thinking of a shirt as something you can wear without anything over it,' reflects Griffiths. 'In fact, why not think about things that you can wear under it, because you can put something – or a hint of something feminine underneath . Maybe a camisole, or something you just get a peep of.' Photo: Max Mara Resort 2026 Photo: Max Mara Resort 2026 On the runway, white shirts were worn half-buttoned in a myriad of ways. When unbuttoned from the top, they revealed bralette-inspired tops underneath, seemingly fashioned from neckties – or at least, prints and textiles inspired by men's ties, knotted at the front for a touch of playfulness. When unbuttoned from the bottom meanwhile, they were styled open, almost up to the very top buttons, showing just a hint of a minimalist bralette beneath. The belted blazer Belt loops are no prerequisite for wearing a belt, according to one of the show's biggest micro trends. While a couple of looks featured chunky belts styled over knits, the real stars were the uber-thin belts topping the high-waisted shorts, trousers and skirts on the runways. At times, belts, rather than buttons, were the method of choice for closing up a blazer, at others, they simply sat over the waistlines of skirts, elevating garments with additional dimension.

10 ways to wear denim in a heatwave — from maxi dresses to jorts, here's how to look and stay cool
Denim is a staple in a majority of our wardrobes. However, jeans are probably the last thing you think of wearing when the temperature is skyrocketing. Tight-fitting, heavyweight and complete with plenty of buttons and zips, they aren't exactly a summer-friendly item. However, there are plenty of different ways to wear denim outside of a traditional jean. While staying cool is obvs top of the agenda, summer is also a time to experiment with your style and try something new. As always, we're here to offer up plenty of outfit inspo, combined with practical tips. Let's get into it. Maxi dresses were made for summer, but a denim fabric gives the longer silhouette an unexpected twist. Opt for a lightweight, 100% cotton denim where possible to ensure you don't get too hot. We love this wearer's cut-out Zimmermann style — another way to add some breathability. Utility workwear is a vibe — and featured heavily throughout Resort 2026 collections, including Tory Burch, Stella McCartney and Courrèges. A cargo denim jumpsuit is a ready-made outfit. Choose a style with short sleeves and a baggy fit to make sure you stay cool and comfy. You could even go for a romper with shorter cut legs for ultra-hot days; Wrangler currently has some excellent options. Midi skirts are everywhere right now — they're easier to navigate than a maxi (no tripping over) and more office appropriate than a mini. This wearer has leaned into the 90's aesthetic in a major way with her scarf belt and bandana. Waistcoats worn as tops are another way to stay cool and look stylish. Because of the structured fit, you can also forgo wearing a bra — less layers to sweat through! The balance of this wearer's outfit, with the Agolde denim and silk slip skirt, is *chef's kiss*. Short shorts are the must-have festival wardrobe item of the summer. While you can go classic with a blue frayed pair, why not mix it up a bit, like this wearer in her pastel green Ganni co-ord. Pair with knee-high boots and you're Glasto ready. The humble denim jacket really comes into its own in summer. A light or bleached wash is perfect for this time of year, and adds an extra dimension to an outfit without adding too much warmth. Throw over your shoulders with any outfit. Bubble skirts continue to trend, and while they're typically seen in a poplin or similar lightweight fabric, who's to say denim can't get in on the action? Take this wearer's light wash, mini style, worn with a loose-fitting T-shirt and trainers. It's sleeveless season, and this is probably one of the best ways to wear denim in the heat. The high street is currently chock-a-block with sleeveless denim tops, including Cos, Next and John Lewis. While you could do a double denim set like this wearer, you could also pair with linen trousers or shorts for an easy, breezy combo. Jean shorts, or jorts as they are more commonly known, have us in a chokehold. Dress up or down, wear them low slung or high waisted, but always keep the fit baggy. See our full guide on what to wear with them here, but shout-out to this heat-ready wearer who has styled hers with a flannel shirt (the perfect lightweight layering piece) and thong heeled sandals. OK, so we said no jeans but…when else can you wear white ones, if not in summer? Lest we remind you that white reflects heat, so dressing head-to-toe in it is practically science. Make a contrasting statement with a bright and colourful shoe. Rebecca Jane Hill is the Senior Fashion Editor at Cosmopolitan UK.
