STÖHR’S SPRING/SUMMER 26 COLLECTION “GRAINS”

Stöhr’s newest collection explores an unusual material approach: an entire collection created exclusively from wood. At its core lies a simple question: what if fashion were shaped by a conscious return to craftsmanship, material awareness, and a closer relationship to nature? Rather than proposing a nostalgic step backwards, the project frames this idea as a deliberate and high-quality vision of the future.
The work centers on an in-depth engagement with a specific craft and a single material. Using wood veneer and thin wooden strips, different techniques were applied to transform the material into garments and bring it into a wearable form. Through three distinct processing methods, the wood was treated in a way that provides both stability and the possibility of being worn.
Within this approach, fashion is no longer understood purely as clothing but as a symbolic carrier of ideas. The established assumption of function within the fashion system is therefore reconsidered and deliberately shifted. Instead of “form follows function,” the collection proposes a different principle: “form follows material.” The photographs accompanying the project were taken by Sven Zink.

JULIAN CHARRIÈRE’S ‘MIDNIGHT ZONE’  – HIS LARGEST EXHIBITION YET

Opening at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg on March 13, 2026, Julian Charrière’s Midnight Zone marks the largest solo exhibition to date for the renowned French-Swiss artist. Developed in collaboration with the Museum Tinguely in Basel, the show transforms the museum’s Great Hall into a profound, immersive space where the physical body, sound, and image converge.

The exhibition takes its name from the ‘aphotic’ layer of the ocean, a lightless realm between 1,000 and 4,000 meters deep, which serves as the focal point of Charrière’s recent creative exploration. Through a specifically designed scenography, visitors are invited into a multisensory experience that reflects on the significance of our oceans and the mysterious biodiversity hidden within their depths. From the blinding light of a rotating Fresnel lens cutting through the Pacific abyss to the monumental presence of submarine glaciers, Charrière’s work offers a transformative look at the world’s most enigmatic environments.

The exhibition officially opens on March 13 at 7:00 PM with an opening ceremony and a subsequent party.

CANADA GOOSE CELEBRATING THE COMEBACK OF THE SUN

With the second chapter of its Spring 2026 collection, Canada Goose celebrates the return of the sun and the Arctic’s evocative transition from polar darkness to light. Specifically engineered for the shoulder season, the collection strikes a sophisticated balance between insulating warmth and breathable lightness. Captured by photographer Arnaud Lajeunie against a backdrop of stark northern landscapes, the campaign highlights designs that prioritize flexibility and performance in extreme environments.

Key pieces include the 90s-inspired Axis Jacket, crafted from recycled nylon, alongside the Vault and Quest models, both drawing inspiration from archival designs originally developed for the U.S. Antarctic Program. While the Vault Pant introduces a modern ‘bubble look’ through adjustable hems, the Regency Jacket offers a sleek, water-repellent interpretation of the classic coach silhouette. The full collection launched worldwide on March 9, 2026, and is now available both in-store and online.

MOOSE KNUCKLES SS26 – STRENGTH IN FLUIDITY 

For the Spring/Summer 2026 season, Moose Knuckles is redefining the boundaries of outerwear, drawing inspiration from the precision and weightless freedom of paragliding. Under the vision of Global Creative Director Ludovico Bruno, the collection strikes a sophisticated balance between ‘strength and fluidity’, engineered to perform in the urban landscape while maintaining a sense of effortless lightness.

The SS26 assortment translates the brand’s technical DNA into warmer-weather essentials through key product pillars, including innovative Freehang Down, Air Down, and protective Nylon Shells. Texture plays a central role with the introduction of Memory and Crinkle fabrics, while the brand’s iconic ‘Bunny’ is reimagined in rugged cotton and reversible denim, offering a modular and functional update to a house staple.

This collection marks a strategic evolution for Moose Knuckles as it expands beyond its cold-weather heritage. As Global CEO Ellen Kinney emphasizes, the goal was to translate the ‘luxe integrity’ of their winter icons into lightweight, season-less layers. By merging high-performance craftsmanship with a bold, uncompromising attitude, SS26 reinforces the brand’s commitment to creating pieces that empower its community to ‘Stand Out’ in any environment.

G-STAR RAW RESEARCH: A NEW ERA OF DENIM INNOVATION 

G-STAR is officially bringing back RAW RESEARCH, the brand’s dedicated laboratory for denim innovation. Conceived as an experimental atelier, RAW RESEARCH serves as a creative intersection where high-level engineering meets boundary-pushing design. Following the influential era of Aitor Throup, the line now enters a new chapter under the creative leadership of Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter, who aim to redefine the architecture of denim through a lens of precision and material research.

The duo’s vision comes to life in a 24-piece all-gender collection that bridges G-STAR’s extensive archive with a modern, functional context. The assortment focuses on meticulous fits and refined workwear details, ranging from reversible bomber jackets and naval-inspired outerwear to sophisticated Selvedge denim silhouettes. A particular highlight is the reimagining of the iconic G-STAR Elwood in new baggy variations, alongside thoughtfully detailed skirts and dresses.

To capture the raw, industrial essence of the collection, the campaign was lensed by photographer Pieter Hugo. His direct and stark visual language mirrors the brand’s ‘Denim-first’ philosophy, setting the stage for a collection that is as much about craftsmanship as it is about the future of utility.

DAGGER’S SPRING/ SUMMER COLLECTION

The Berlin-based label that captured everyone’s attention during this season’s Berlin Fashion Week is officially launching its Spring/Summer collection this week. The face of the campaign is the “Fallen Angel”, the iconic figure who sat center-stage with angel wings during the runway show.

The collection is a tribute to designer Luke Rainey’s roots: a Northern Irish skate town where he spent his youth on the skateboard. It serves as a love letter to his original skate crew, the music, and the culture of that era. The raw nostalgia woven into the designs and the label’s storytelling is what makes this brand so authentic and compelling. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this label.

LEILA HEKMAT – “ROSES RISING – THE MOVEMENT” AT GROPIUS BAU

In her new commissioned work, “Roses Rising – The Movement,” artist and director Leila Hekmat explores the “bourgeois desire for resistance” and how individuals react to global crises when faith in progress and reason begins to fade. Premiering on March 6 and 7, 2026, in the Gropius Bau’s Lichthof, Berlin, the performance combines elements of a concert, ballet, and comedy to create a unique space between a bunker, a dream world, and a rehearsal room. Drawing from extensive research into 1970s protest culture, Hekmat uses intricate handmade costumes and sets to illustrate how a dinner party spirals into a surreal “happening.” This production is the first part of a collaboration with HAU Hebbel am Ufer, followed by the premiere of the stage production “The Dinner” at HAU1 on April 15, 2026.

DR MARTENS BOOT DNA IN SUMMER SLIDES

Dr. Martens is expanding its seasonal lineup with the Zebzag collection, a series of utility-driven silhouettes that blend a rugged, urban character with everyday functionality. These styles represent a continuation of the brand’s legacy, which began in the 1990s, of translating their iconic boot DNA into durable, open-air summer footwear.

The collection features the Zebzag Dunnet Slide, which breathes new life into a floral motif from the DM’s archives by presenting it as an asymmetrical cut-out on heavy-duty Crazy Horse leather. This design is accented with subtle ecru stitching for a vintage touch, while the signature yellow welt stitch provides that unmistakable Dr. Martens contrast.

Alongside the slide, the Zebzag Sandal offers a fresh take on utility, utilizing exceptionally soft EH Suede in shades like Black, Cornflower Blue, and Savannah Tan. With silver-toned buckles and clean, deliberate lines, the proportions and straps are specifically engineered for maximum comfort without compromising the brand’s bold aesthetic. Both models are built upon a specialized sole designed for urban life: lightweight and cushioned for all-day wear, yet featuring deep grooves to ensure stability and grip on any surface.

BELGIAN PRIDE

In 2026, MoMu Antwerp hosts the first major exhibition dedicated to the “Antwerp Six,” the legendary group that revolutionized global fashion following their 1986 debut. Jewelry designers Wouters & Hendrix, who shared that same debut year, have collaborated with the Six for decades, creating unconventional accessories for their iconic runway shows—a tradition they continue today with rising stars like Meryll Rogge.

To honor this heritage, the Wouters & Hendrix boutique is showcasing archival pieces alongside house icons such as the “Grigri” and “Mussel.” As a special tribute, a limited-edition tricolor “Cache-Clés” in the Belgian national colors will be launched exclusively at the MoMu shop on March 28, 2026, celebrating the surrealism and craftsmanship that define Belgian design.

FERRARI – YOUR SECOND SKIN

The Ferrari FW26 collection by Creative Director Rocco Iannone explores “skin” as a symbolic second layer that connects the individual to the world. Celebrating his tenth show, Iannone presents a vertical silhouette that balances nudity and coverage, utilizing materials ranging from delicate cupro to robust leather and padded duchesse silk.

The designs feature a diverse palette of nude tones and tactile details, such as scar-like knit patterns and piercing-fixed accessories, that merge clothing with physicality. Set in an atmosphere where water symbolizes transformation, the collection offers a plural dimension of identity, allowing the wearer to choose from many “skins” to express the Ferrari ethos.

With Rainforest Next, Napapijri frames identity as something fluid, not as a firm statement. More as of something shaped by instinct, environment, and personal history. Eight individuals. Eight shades. Eight different ways of moving through life. Shot in their own space, the portraits feel intimate, very personal, rather than staged. Each setting reveals a different facet of the brands universe, contrast, courage, heritage and authenticity. Among the protagonists are Vienna Jones, whose story speaks of reinvention, Julia Sarr-Jamois, embodying creative authorship, and Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli offering a perspective shaped beyond borders.

Through weekly conversations in the Napapijri Bulletin, the narrative expands: parallel questions, contrasting answers, unexpected connections. At the centre stands the SS/26 Rainforest Next: lightweight, water-resistant, windproof, fully packable. Available in eight colors, it mirrors the diversity of the campaigns protagonists: each shade carries its own story and its own way of moving through the world. As values aren’t told. They are worn.

LVATE – WHERE HIGH PERFORMANCE MEETS AESTHETIC

LVATE is an exclusive boutique concept for modern dermatology and skin longevity, led by Dr. Lukas Kohler and PD Dr. med. Anne Gürtler. With locations in Munich and Düsseldorf, the practice focuses on natural optimization rather than artificial transformation.

LVATE supports the exceptional dancer as an exclusive partner for skin, health, and recovery, recognizing that in high-performance sports, skin regeneration is just as vital as physical recovery. By blending medical precision with holistic biohacking, such as NAD+ infusions, and global partnerships like JOALI BEING, LVATE sets new standards in aesthetic medicine that seamlessly unites health and expressive power.

DRYKORN SS26 REPRESENTS PRESENCE, OPENNESS AND FREEDOM 

The Drykorn Spring Summer 2026 collection is centered around the core theme “FEEL QUALITY. IN EVERY MOMENT.” and celebrates a new sense of simplicity that prioritizes presence and authenticity. Through a minimalist design language, the brand merges timeless style with a laid-back attitude, a spirit captured in the campaign by the deliberate contrast between precise tailoring and raw, maritime naturalness.

While the womenswear collection transitions from powerful 80s-inspired tailoring and the soft neutral tones of the “Ease” line to lighthearted bohemian elements, the “Harbor Club” menswear line creates an intriguing dialogue between functional workwear and elegant natural fabrics. Ultimately, Drykorn presents a collection that understands quality not as a way to stand out, but as an expression of inner peace and sartorial freedom.

ROBYN FOR ACNE STUDIOS

For its Spring-Summer 2026 campaign, Acne Studios joins forces with Swedish icon Robyn in a series of portraits by Nadia Lee Cohen that vibrantly capture the “sensual experience of being alive.” Straddling the line between chaos and control, vulnerability and strength, the campaign draws a direct thematic thread to Robyn’s upcoming album, Sexistential.

Creative Director Jonny Johansson describes the partnership as a natural evolution, while Robyn crafted the soundtrack for the SS26 show at Paris’ Collège des Bernardins, both artists realized they were independently exploring the same concept, questioning, challenging, and ultimately celebrating the multifaceted nature of female identity. This vision is translated into a collection that merges masculine and feminine elements through bold uniform shirts, coated fabrics, the iconic cowboy boot, and new iterations of the Camero bag. Representing an assertive and ever-evolving femininity, the collection is available in stores worldwide since February 25, 2026.

ASPRIVA – FOR MORE HEALTHY YEARS OF LIFE 

The concept of longevity has transitioned from a mere buzzword into a fundamental response to modern societal shifts, driven by an aging population’s desire for active years, advancements in biological measurability, and a growing skepticism toward reactive, impersonal healthcare. In an era defined by self-optimization and data-based health, longevity fills the gap between conventional medicine and the proactive maintenance of quality of life. Within this landscape, the brand Aspriva positions itself as a science-first alternative to “miracle pills,” emphasizing reliable routines and evidence-based support rather than marketing-led trends.

Developed over a three-year period and guided strictly by human studies and a scientific advisory board, Aspriva’s approach focuses on clarity and long-term results. The resulting product line, consisting of Omega3, core, glow, sleep, and smile, is designed as a systemic, modular concept to support vital functions such as cellular health, the immune system, skin, sleep quality, and emotional resilience. Ultimately, Aspriva represents a holistic longevity philosophy that rejects shortcuts in favor of scientific integrity and maximum transparency.

THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING AT COS 

While we are still waiting for the first true rays of sunshine, COS is already delivering the perfect wardrobe. The new Pre-Spring collection provides exactly what we have come to rely on from this label: unpretentious elegance and timeless basics.

The color palette remains true to itself. Natural nuances that radiate tranquility and integrate effortlessly into any wardrobe. The characteristic straight cuts and architectural silhouettes that we COS lovers appreciate and love so much are combined with elegant denim pieces.

These new looks prove that comfort and chic do not have to be a contradiction. It is the perfect mix for the transition: high-quality materials that feel like a second skin but look like a statement.

AN EVENING OF PERFORMANCE AT SCHINKEL PAVILLION

This Friday, February 20th, Schinkel Pavillon invites you to a special evening that blurs the boundaries between performance, video and music. At the center of the artistic work by Josh Johnson, Enes Güç and Thilo Garus is a profound exploration of the golden ratio. The work goes far beyond purely visual design rules and instead examines how proportions shape the way bodies are perceived and organized in space.

The production moves fluidly between live performance and video art, where a single figure is fragmented, scaled and repeatedly multiplied. This play with perception creates a constant shift between intimate proximity and cool abstraction. The whole thing is symbolically framed by the mythological figure of Cerberus. While the video work looks into the depths and allows bodies to merge into mass formations, above, the individual performer Josh Johnson stands opposite the architecture and the direct gaze of the audience. This experience is accompanied by a live music set by Tapiwa Svosve and Precious Renée Tucker as well as subsequent DJ sets by Bobby Beethoven, SALOME and Why Be, which round off the evening within the architectural setting of the pavilion.

THE ATTICO PRESENTS: “L’OGGETTO DEL DESIDERIO”

With the new project „L’oggetto del desiderio“, The Attico places one of its most iconic bags in a new cinematic light: La Passeggiata. Inspired by the visual language of Italian cinema of the 1970s, the brand presents the bag not merely as an accessory but as an absolute object of desire, a symbol of modern fixation and stylish obsession.

The exclusive limited edition includes three new variations of „La Passeggiata“, which will be available exclusively on theattico.com starting February 2nd.

ANN DEMEULEMEESTER: A NEW CHAPTER 

With the first official campaign under the creative direction of Stefano Gallici, the house of Ann Demeulemeester opens a new visual chapter. For a brand that has historically distanced itself from traditional advertising, this step marks the transition from introspective cult status to a present and clearly defined visual language, coinciding with the opening of the new boutique in Milan.

The campaign, photographed by Nikolai von Bismarck and styled by Elodie David, was staged at Villa Manin in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The setting reflects the spirit of the SS26 collection by perfectly capturing the tension between grandeur and restraint. Through the lens of Nikolai von Bismarck and the instinctive styling of Elodie David, an atmosphere emerges that unites intimacy with monumentality as well as austerity with romanticism, creating a harmonious visual unity.The monumental 18th century estate serves as a backdrop that symbolizes Gallici’s return to his roots.

GUCCI EYEWEAR

For the upcoming Spring Summer 2026 season Gucci delivers a powerful statement on modern maximalism with its latest eyewear collection. Striking oversize silhouettes take center stage speaking a clear and almost architectural language through their angular shapes and prominent metal logos.

The collection also reaches deep into the archives to let iconic house codes shine in a new light particularly within the rimless cat eye models and the classic pilot frames. Rounding out the lineup are versatile optical frames made of acetate that masterfully transition between purist clarity and nostalgic retro references.

Overall it is a collection that demonstrates how artisanal precision and decorative extravagance continue to go hand in hand at Gucci.

SOUNDS GAY – WE ARE IN!

For SS26, Carne Bollente presents “Give me a break”, a collection that dives headfirst into the “universal fact” that Parisians are the worst. Impolite, pretentious, and selfish. But, as the brand rightly notes, that’s exactly what makes them so sexy. It’s a “starter kit for becoming the asshole you’ve always admired,” dipped in decadence and sprinkled with irony.

Beyond the sarcasm, the collection highlights “Besos hasta agotar stock,” a vital exploration of the kiss as a gesture of resistance and mutual support. True to its DNA since 2015, the Paris-based label continues to use bold, unisex designs to promote sex-positivity and break societal taboos. “Give me a break” is more than fashion, it’s a celebration of desire and identity without compromise. Parisians might not be nice, but they certainly do it better.

C.P. COMPANY – THE ARCHITECTURE OF BELONGING 

Beyond the pitch and the performance lies a space C.P. Company has inhabited for decades. With the vision “Sportswear, Not For Playing In”, the brand transcends functional apparel to become a vessel for cultural expression. From its origins in Bologna to the roaring terraces of English stadiums, C.P. Company has evolved into a visual language of shared rituals and social codes.

At the heart of this universe is the iconic Goggle Jacket, not just a garment, but a marker of identity. It’s about the “lived experience” of sport: the tension in a crowded bar, the quiet anticipation at home, and the electric chaos of the stadium. As highlighted by the evocative poetry of John Joseph Holt, these pieces are designed to hold memories. In a world of fleeting moments, C.P. Company reminds us that while games are forgotten, the people we were with and the clothes we wore stay with us forever.

SKINS – CURATING THE EXTRAORDINARY 

With 25 years of expertise in the Netherlands and Belgium, Skins has finally arrived in Germany, bringing its signature blend of niche scents and high-end beauty to Hamburg and Frankfurt. This isn’t just retail, it’s a sensory journey designed for those who seek the exceptional.

Specializing in curated niche perfumes, avant-garde skincare, and sophisticated home fragrances, Skins offers an escape from the ordinary. Whether you’re searching for a profound token of affection or a personal self-care upgrade, their carefully selected portfolio focuses on craftsmanship and storytelling. For the modern connoisseur, Skins is the new go-to destination where luxury meets discovery.

THE PINNACLE OF DENIM RECONSTRUCTION 

For SS26, Levi’s Blue Tab redefines the boundaries of premium denim, transforming iconic heritage pieces into contemporary sculptural statements. This season, the brand’s most sophisticated line explores the art of reconstruction, blending vintage soul with a future-facing aesthetic.

Crafted from proprietary Japanese fabrics and elevated silk blends, the collection oscillates between structured volume and airy elegance. Men are treated to reimagined 501 silhouettes with architectural paneling, while the women’s range introduces the highly anticipated ’70s 501, a fit exclusive to the Blue Tab line. From “stained glass” patchwork effects to delicate lace trimmings, it’s a masterclass in contrasts. As Design Director Paul O’Neill puts it: it’s about moving the DNA forward through elevated construction. This isn’t just denim; it’s the new standard for the modern wardrobe.

MANDARINA – WHERE SUSTAINABILITY MEETS URBAN SOPHISTICATION 

Guided by the philosophy “Travel Light, Live Smart,” Mandarina Duck introduces Smart Duck, a collection that seamlessly bridges the gap between high-performance functionality and contemporary aesthetics. As a key pillar of the brand’s sustainable ECODUCK project, this urban-casual line is crafted entirely from 100% recycled polyester.

But the appeal goes far beyond its eco-credentials: the collection stands out with its monochrome textures, coated surfaces, and the iconic MD Tank relief on the front panel. Elevated by refined black nickel hardware and a sleek silicone logo, Smart Duck is the ultimate essential for those who navigate life dynamically and consciously. The perfect companion for the modern traveler who refuses to choose between style and substance.

THE FOURTH CAPSULE COLLECTION OF CARHARTT WIP X SACAI

It’s no secret that Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is much more than just an adaptation of American workwear. Since Edwin Faeh brought the brand to Europe in 1994, it has emancipated itself from the factory halls of Detroit and become an integral part of global subculture. Deeply rooted in techno, skateboarding, and hip-hop. Now Carhartt WIP is opening a new chapter and once again proving its versatility with its fourth capsule collection with the cult Japanese label sacai.

This collection brings sacai’s signature hybrid aesthetic to life. Classics such as the Detroit Jacket and Siberian Chore Coat are not simply reissued, but dissected and reassembled with sacai’s DNA building blocks, such as the elegant Tailored Jacket and iconic MA-1 bomber jacket.

Subtle contrasting stitching runs like a common thread through the designs, while corduroy collars pay subtle homage to Carhartt’s workwear roots. The color palette remains as confident as ever: alongside timeless black, fresh blue and clean ivory add new accents. A special highlight for collectors: the exclusive beige colorway will only be available through the official sacai online store.

The collection will be available worldwide in selected stores and online from February 6.

SALOMON DINNER

As part of this year’s Berlin Fashion Week, Salomon and the creative collective International Feelings established a unique platform for industry exchange. Through an exclusive dinner, the two partners brought together a diverse range of international and local stakeholders.

The collaboration between outdoor brand Salomon and International Feelings once again underscored the importance of synergies between global brands and creative platforms that define Berlin’s zeitgeist. The dinner served as one of the week’s key networking highlights, solidifying Salomon’s position as an integral part of the modern fashion landscape.

KID CUDI’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION IN PARIS

The exhibition ‘Echoes of the Past’ by Scotty Ramon at Ruttkowski 68 in Paris is his first-ever solo show worldwide. Since Scotty Ramon is primarily known as a musician, under the name Kid Cudi, he remains true to his roots. The exhibition is accompanied by an original soundtrack, which he produced himself. Propulsive synthesizers and beats underscore the visual experience and create a very unique atmosphere in the gallery. Even as a child in Ohio, Ramon wanted to become a cartoonist.

His current art takes up this interest and combines it with a profound exploration of the human psyche. In his paintings, the figure Max, often depicted in baggy jeans, serves as a projection surface for Ramon’s introspection. The works move between soothing colors and dark, ‘hyper-conscious’ depictions of inner darkness. Although he only recently found his way to painting, his works are characterized by a raw, honest immediacy. It is about the confrontation with inner truths and the path to self-empowerment.

DAVID KOMA X SUPERGIRL: THE MODERN WARRIOR

In an official collaboration with Warner Bros., David Koma reimagines the iconic superhero Supergirl for the modern, self-assured woman. The collection is set to launch in June 2026, perfectly timed with the theatrical release of the new DC film.

The wardrobe is built around a “day-to-night” concept, seamlessly transitioning from a powerful look of “Boardroom Authority” to a glamorous evening silhouette. With model Yasmin Wijnaldum as the face of the campaign, David Koma transforms the city into a runway and the modern woman into a warrior. This collection is a statement of control, power, and contemporary elegance.

OPERA DEBUT FOR JW ANDERSON

From February 4 to 8, 2026, Opera Philadelphia celebrates the world premiere of Complications in Sue. It is no ordinary work, but an experimental portrait of an entire life. Star designer JW Anderson makes his opera debut and designs the costumes. He and the lead performer, Justin Vivian Bond, are long-standing artistic partners. Cabaret icon and trans activist Justin Vivian Bond plays the title role ‘Sue’, her first leading role on an opera stage.

Written by Michael R. Jackson, the Pulitzer Prize winner (known for A Strange Loop), who is also making his opera debut with this piece. The opera follows the life of Sue from birth to death in 10 vignettes. Each scene represents a different decade of her life. Each scene was set to music by a different composer (including greats such as Missy Mazzoli and Nico Muhly), which ensures enormous musical variety. The costumes by JW Anderson evolve along with the character and tell the visual story from childhood to old age.

ROMANCE, BUT MAKE IT CULTURAL

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the publisher Damiani presents the photography book ‘Douglas Kirkland: Romance’. The book is a homage to love, intimacy, and human connection. Douglas Kirkland (1934–2022) was a legend of photography. He accompanied the golden age of photojournalism and portrayed icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Coco Chanel. Today, his works are held in prominent museums such as the Smithsonian.

‘Romance’ showcases a mixture of iconic couples, legendary film moments, and previously unpublished photographs. It illuminates love in all its facets – from playful and passionate to timeless and enduring. The book is intended as a special Valentine’s Day gift for lovers of photography, cinema, fashion, and culture.

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.
