UGG x 3.PARADIS

In the world of high fashion, there are moments when craftsmanship meets deep emotion. One such moment occurred in January 2026, when UGG took to the runway stage at the 3.PARADIS AW26 show titled “Rest in Paradis.” What at first glance appeared to be a functional partnership turned out to be a fusion of heritage, storytelling, and modern aesthetics.

For Emeric Tchatchoua, the creative mind behind 3.PARADIS, the connection with UGG goes far beyond the visual. For him, fashion is an emotional anchor. “For me, UGG means protection, grounding, and security,” says Tchatchoua. The collaboration transformed iconic silhouettes into a kind of “shelter”, a fashionable home that you carry through memories and life.

Through the lens of 3.PARADIS, UGG proves once again that the brand can effortlessly navigate between cozy classics and deconstructed high fashion. Its integration into the narrative world of Rest in Paradis shows that UGG’s iconic design is more versatile than ever before.

INTERVENTION V AT KRAFTWERK BERLIN

Reference Studios presents the fifth edition of INTERVENTION, a one-day festival of fashion, music, and cultural exchange, staged at the industrial-historic Kraftwerk Berlin during Berlin Fashion Week. Conceived and curated by Mumi Haiati, the program opens with a first-time collaboration with TED, introducing salon-scale conversations that bring fashion and design into dialogue with global ideas.

Runway shows by BUZIGAHILL, Kenneth Ize, DAGGER, JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN, and GmbH unfold across Kraftwerk’s ground and first floors, offering a cross-section of independent fashion practices, global perspectives, and distinct formal languages. Running in parallel, a Listening Lounge curated by LIVE FROM EARTH features selectors and artists from Berlin’s music ecosystem, tracing how local and global sound movements circulate alongside fashion.

Alongside the main program, Live From Earth presents the Doofer Street Market pop-up (30th Jan – 2nd Feb, Potsdamer Straße 100), activating the city as a public-facing space for encounter and exchange. Brands include 3661, ABC Dinamo, AbuGlitsch, Baby B3ns, Brutalismus 3000, horsegiirL, Kleidungsmarke, MCR-T, Monamobile, Slinky, and Social Research, plus DJ sets from 64meter, Baby B3ns (Hybrid Set), and DJ AbuGlitsch.

Supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, INTERVENTION V reflects the fluid, interconnected nature of contemporary culture.

ALPHA INDUSTRIES AT PARIS FASHION WEEK

From pure functionality to progressive street fashion: Alpha Industries is redefining its identity and using the physics of updrafts as a design motif for its current transformation. In a spatial installation that plays with vertical accents and floating geometries, the brand’s rise from its utilitarian roots to the contemporary fashion Olympus becomes physically tangible.

This cultural elevation finds its strongest expression in two contrasting collaborations that impressively expand the brand’s spectrum. While the collaboration with Metarmorfosi translates the raw spirit of underground club culture into functional designs and contrasts industrial harshness with floral delicacy in a window display installation, the collaboration with Cecilie Bahnsen takes a completely new aesthetic direction. Here, the military-inspired functionality of Alpha Industries meets Bahnsen’s characteristic romantic floral signature, creating a hybrid world of robust strength and feminine lightness.

Following an exclusive preview on January 22 at Dover Street Market Paris, the entire collection has been available since January 23 at both DSM and on all global Alpha Industries platforms.

TEN C – THE URBAN EXPLORER

With its Fall/Winter 26/27 collection, Ten c consolidates its status as a laboratory for progressive outerwear and, under the creative direction of Alessandro Pungetti, puts the figure of the “urban explorer” at the center. The collection is a masterful study of materials, with the iconic Original Japanese Jersey pushing the boundaries of technology. As waterproof OJJ Rubber with taped seams or an ultra-light 9-oz. version, it redefines the uniform of the modern urban nomad.

Military archetypes such as the legendary Skye Ten Anorak merge here with highly functional comfort, complemented by a modular system of removable down liners and large-volume knitwear in chenille or bouclé. The collection’s color palette ranges from urban asphalt gray to deep olive and progressive lime accents, with each shade emphasizing the artisanal depth of the piece-dyed textiles. Ten c thus impressively proves that true innovation does not need logos, it reveals itself in the perfect symbiosis of architectural cut and the constant search for the ultimate material.

SOREL’S ARCTIC INSPIRATION SHAPES PARIS SHOWROOM 

In Paris, SOREL transformed its FW26 showroom into an immersive art gallery that blurred the line between technical heritage and contemporary aesthetics. Amidst broken glass display cases and sculptural displays reminiscent of Arctic landscapes, archival boots were staged like artifacts, flanked by a geometric, altar-like light installation and polar scenes on screens.

This curated setting underscores the status of the brand, founded in Canada in 1962, whose identity is inextricably interwoven with extreme resilience and the spirit of the Arctic. SOREL silhouettes outlast trends because their functionality is not borrowed, but hard-earned under the conditions of North Pole expeditions and early snowboarding pioneers. In the Paris production, this historic DNA met a new generation of creatives. The result was a tangible dialogue between the brand’s iconic roots and visionary new designs, making it clear that true functionality is today’s ultimate statement of urban authenticity.

LARDINI – A MANIFESTO FOR SUBSTANCE AND A MODERN MASCULINITY 

At Via dell’Annunciata 23, Milan Fashion Week became pleasantly quiet for a moment in January 2026. Under the title “FamiliarSensations,” Lardini presented an autumn/winter collection that reads like a return to the essentials. Far from loud spectacle, the house focuses on an intimate experience and puts the “Code of Making” in the spotlight. A manifesto of craftsmanship that understands tradition not as nostalgia, but as technological luxury and cultural attitude.

The collection flows masterfully through the disciplines of contemporary tailoring, iconic outerwear, knitwear, and sophisticated casual, with each silhouette captivating with soft volumes and an almost mathematical precision. Lardini has succeeded in consistently evolving a modern masculinity that draws its confidence from its origins and focuses on timeless elegance that lasts. It is a clear statement for substance and the beauty of the process. Authentic, minimalist, and with a quality that you can not only see but also feel.

DIESEL LUGGAGE – FOR THOSE WHO TRAVEL COURAGEOUSLY

With the launch of its first luggage collection, Diesel is opening a new chapter under the creative direction of Glenn Martens. In collaboration with the Canton Unicorn Group, pieces have been created that go far beyond conventional travel luggage. The Diesel universe is thus expanded to include an essential category that transfers the spirit of individualism to travel.

The collection plays with Martens’ signature visual language. Brushed metal meets matte textures and functional high-tech finishes, making each suitcase a visual statement. From sturdy hard shells in an aluminum look to modular backpacks and travel bags with striking all-over sticker prints, the range covers a total of six designs. The collection’s colors range from urban black, silver, khaki, and bronze, accented by the iconic Diesel red. Behind the rebellious aesthetic lies uncompromising functionality. Low-noise 360-degree wheels and intelligent interior systems ensure that the pieces meet the requirements of modern nomads not only visually but also technologically. The collection is now available worldwide in Diesel stores and online. The ultimate upgrade for those who don’t compromise on style when on the go.
