Sacai Resort 2026 Collection
This was a deceptively simple Sacai collection. Not least because Chitose Abe stepped away from the runway this season, opting instead for a static presentation of the clothes in this lookbook at the Sacai HQ on the Left Bank. As the T-shirt she was wearing implied, despite how forward-looking or concept-driven her work can present when on the runway, Abe makes everyday clothes. 'All day everyday,' read the slogan printed across her tee. And that's what she made sure to underscore in conversation: That the cornerstone of Sacai is that it is meant to be a wardrobe. Elevated, sure, but there's no reason why these shouldn't be the clothes you wear, well, all the time. Abe explained through her interpreter that the season's starting point was a white cotton cashmere tuxedo, its versatility and simplicity becoming a stand-in for the broader Sacai endeavor. Abe's touch, particularly her signature garment hybridization, has become a source of inspiration for many and it's easy to clock off the runways. This may be why, in recent seasons, her runway collections seemed to have moved into becoming concept-driven and built around a singular theme as opposed to being more broad contributions to her body of work—see the rawness of her disheveled furs from her January men's show or the streamlined, gestural sensuality of the women's one from March. Still Sacai, but presented as more specific, singular statements. What was on display at Abe's showroom this time was, instead, a sharp and clear reminder of the core tenets of Sacai. Was the intention to clean the slate or reset? Not at all, she said, answering the question this time sans translator. It was, instead, just to show this side of the label. Ditto opting out of the runway this season—no broader point being made here other than switching things up. Fair enough. Much of fashion has started to once again opt for thinness, in castings for the runways and in the proportions of clothes, but not Abe. Instead, as exemplified by that very look, the dominant silhouette in this collection was dictated by a wide, ballooning trouser and a voluminous sleeve. In many ways this was a collection about sleeves, each more fascinating than the other. They appeared slashed and open down to the elbows or rounded out entirely; made with extra volumes optionally released by zippers or with double shoulder-caps and bell-like hems; simple and curvaceous or intricately cut and folded in ways too puzzling to describe with mere words. Such technical prowess is hard to see on a runway; it was a joy to be able to experience it up close. Even more fun: After starting the day at the Sacai HQ, the fashion crowd was summoned to end it there too, this time with the promise of Japanese food and karaoke. Some of your favorite fashion editors, publicists, and multi-hyphenates belted out everything from Elvis and George Michael to Japanese pop and even Shakira (this last one may or may not have been yours truly). As a treat, the artist D4vd, who was in attendance as a guest, decided to sing his viral hit 'Here With Me.' The true star of the show, however, was Abe herself. She ended the night with a rendition of 'Empire State of Mind' accompanied by a choir of guests. She was wearing a little Sacai frock, as were many others in the room. Undeniable proof that hers are clothes not just made to live in every day, but to seize every moment

Marine Serre Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Iconic is an overused word that, when deployed in fashion, mostly means nothing. Few designers alive can truly lay claim to it, and fewer still who run independent brands. Marine Serre is one of them. For spring the 33-year-old designer forwent a runway show for a presentation and cocktail event. 'This season we are not showing. We are building,' read the notes. There was plenty to build on. Sheer stretchy jersey dresses with a trompe l'oeil bra and knickers were designed so they could be thrown on without a second thought, even from the nude. Bang and done! 'I want the girl of Marine Serre not to have to worry about the styling,' she said. 'I don't like the sexiness to constrain you. When I feel the most sexy is when I can breathe and I can move.' The menswear pieces, though subtler in their sensuality, were also body-conscious, highlighting the breadth of the shoulders through the chest seams on denim jackets, or with trousers that hugged the thigh before flaring at the feet. 'The conversation between the body and the garment, this collection is of course a lot about that,' said Serre. Elsewhere was cotton imitating python leather, knitted and printed and extending through to men's shirts, bodycon dresses and pumps, complete with mini moons on the soles to negate any click-clacking ('I hate the women or men who make a noise when they walk in the room!') Sequins and flaming leather patches or tulip prints were spread across the chest and crotch on mesh, denim and leather. Plumetis (the sheer fabric with raised dots that you often see on hosiery) was also a big reference, which Serre transformed into a knitted dress, the dots becoming tiny moons. One more standout in a collection with many to choose from: the LBD in look 1 that had Serre's moon crescent embedded in wire at the sternum. The designer said she imagined the wearer getting a crescent-shaped sun tan on her chest next summer. How's that for branding? There were also nods to Serre's background as a tennis prodigy in the navy tennis dresses, plus some necessary whimsy in the boy scout-inspired looks and shirts complete with foulards, decorated with vintage iron-on patches that will make each piece a one-off. In tune with Serre's continued commitment to sustainability, many of the fabrics in the collection were upcycled or repurposed from deadstock, like the silk scarves (one of the brand's staples) that were turned into a djellaba dress, or a floral shirt made from old polyester, given new life by shrinking it into thousands of pleats. 'Most of the time there is no need for more garments, so I try to use what we already have,' she said. Now with 75 staff according to Serre, the eight-year-old brand is a force to be reckoned with. Maintaining relevance in an environment that prizes the new and chews up and spits out the next big thing (that Serre herself was, when she became the youngest designer to win the LVMH Prize back in 2017) can feel near impossible, but Serre has an easy assurance that makes you believe in her future. 'It's about endurance,' she shrugged. 'As a designer I love vintage pieces, I love to study where the garments come from and I think that's how you can renew yourself and make your garments iconic, because at the end that's what I want.' Gesturing to one of the jewelry tableaus framed on black moire at the exhibition entrance, where a new range of gold and silver Creole hoops were hanging, she said: 'I never did the Creole before, so I said 'Okay, let me do one more iconic piece.'' As if it were easy! Her trademark crescent on the hoop, big and bold, will no doubt be another hit. Tout suite—iconique.

Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Are Married! See Inside Her Final Wedding Dress Fitting
The bride is corseted and cosseted in her high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress on the grounds of an 18th-century brick villa outside of Milan. 'I'm gonna cry!' says the soon-to-be Lauren Sánchez Bezos. 'I'm gonna be a mess on the day, but the best kind of mess.' Today is a shoot for Vogue. The day before, Sánchez and Bezos were at the Dolce & Gabbana atelier in central Milan for their final fittings. In a few weeks and 170 miles away, they will marry in front of some 200 family and friends in Venice. 'It was more powerful than I thought,' Sánchez says of yesterday's fitting. Bezos begged to see the dress. 'I almost gave in!' she admits. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.' She is now posing, hands on hips and leaning forward—Fellini-esque in the mermaid-line gown—framed by an allée of cypress poplars. 'I feel like a princess,' she says. "You look like a princess!' the eager chorus of onlookers—glam team, seamstresses, production crew—parries back. A team of Dolce tailors, dressed in crisp white work coats with black crochet Peter Pan collars and grosgrain ribbon belts, unfolds a tulle and lace veil with the precision of surgeons. When a winged ant gets caught in the delicate fabric, a frenzy of hushed, urgent Italian ensues before the ant is carefully, gingerly dislodged. The veil is applied to Sánchez's head like a crown. A man on a scooter tootles past the property line and a momentary panic sets in. The location has been chosen to avoid any chance of Milanese paparazzi. Was the man wearing a GoPro? No, the Italian shoot producer assures everyone. That was just a maize farmer headed to the neighboring property. No GoPro.
