Dries Van Noten AW26 Is a Merging of Worlds and a Case Study in Color

Sergio Hudson Merges Modernity and Power Dressing For FW26 - V Magazine

The FW26 collection from Sergio Hudson recalls power dressing of the past with a contemporary take and emphasis on tailoring.

HEROES: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac
Although repurposing is a buzzword in fashion today, for Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, creative refashioning of textiles into clothing was already a buzzing notion that started in his youth.

Heroes: Antwerp Six
There are windows of time when a particular group changes the tide in fashion.
