Tory Burch Fall 2026
It started, apparently, with her dad’s corduroys. Which—OH MY GOD—feels almost aggressively normal in a moment where everything else feels… not. Tory Burch said she was asking herself the big question backstage (the one we’re all quietly panicking about): what actually lasts? What sticks around when the world feels loud and chaotic and kind of exhausting. And her answer wasn’t some grand, conceptual thesis—it was familiarity. Memory. Her father’s worn-in trousers. Practical. Slightly slouchy. Completely unpretentious. Clothes that have lived a life.
Lafayette 148 Fall 2026
Lafayette 148 started thirty years ago with the kind of clothes that don’t scream for attention—quiet, competent, very I’ve got this. A white button-up. Proper suiting. The basics. And after spending the last year doing the whole anniversary victory lap, Emily Smith decided to loop the fall collection straight back to the beginning. Not nostalgically, not sentimentally—but methodically. She went into the archives and started really looking. At how things were made. At seams. At construction. At the factory floor itself (which, honestly, feels kind of radical right now).
KLUM-O-WEEN
Okay so—Heidi Klum. The Queen of Halloween, which sounds dramatic until you realize it’s actually true. Like, I used to think Halloween was about face paint and those last-minute CVS wigs that smell vaguely like burnt plastic and regret, but Heidi… she made it an art form. Every year, this woman shows up to her own party looking like something between a science experiment and a fever dream—and I mean that in the highest possible compliment.
Versace Fall 2025
The looming possibility of a Versace sale cast a long shadow over tonight’s show, turning the usual spectacle into something more charged, more uncertain. As the fashion crowd settled into the tram depot where it was staged, the murmurs were inevitable—was this Donatella Versace’s final bow? And if so, what would Versace even be without Donatella?
Roberto Cavalli Fall 2025
Just yesterday, archaeologists announced the discovery of new frescoes in Pompeii—thirty to forty A.D., depicting the initiation rites of Dionysus’s devotees. Perfect timing. Fausto Puglisi, for his part, had already decided that his latest Cavalli outing would center on Pompeii—the ancient pleasure palace of a city, decadent and doomed in equal measure, smothered in volcanic ash nearly two millennia ago. It was love at first sight for him, or so the story goes—he first visited as a child, and it stayed with him, the way ancient beauty and sudden catastrophe tend to do.
Prada Fall 2025
After the Prada show, a photographer—cheeky, exasperated, perhaps both—asked what, exactly, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons had been up to this season. When the answer came—“interrogating femininity,” specifically, “what is feminine beauty today?”—he snorted: “Er, double Ds.” It was a joke, obviously, but not an inaccurate one. Idealized beauty remains the defining obsession of our age, only now it’s purchasable—nipped, tucked, lasered, and filtered into a kind of eerie digital perfection, a symmetry so precise it could only exist in the uncanny valley.
