Creative Director Alessandro Michele is continuing to honor his Spring 2026 couture collection “Specula Mundi,” now with a book by Mark Borthwick that follows Michele’s visual narrative. A Kaiserpanorama installation revives the original scenography from the Specula Mundi show Valentino presented in Paris in January.

Dressed in pink and furs, the late Joan Rivers was revived for an exclusive appearance at the SoHo M.A.C store on April 21st. Rivers (aka makeup artist Alexis Stone) arrived accompanied by high security, courtesy of the M.A.C. Police Beauty Unit in a decked-out stretch limo. The appearance was orchestrated in honor of M.A.C.’s iconic VIVA GLAM initiative, which was celebrated last week with the Elizabeth Taylor Legacy Award at the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation New York Dinner.

The sun was only just rising over the Grotta dei Cordari as Pucci’s Spring 2026 collection walked down the sandy runway on April 17. Under the cave-like ruins of Neapolis Archeological Park in Syracuse, Sicily, artistic director Camille Miceli presents Pucci’s spring installment — just in time for the start of Pucci summer. From the first to the last look, Miceli uses a jewel-toned sunset color scheme paired with black basics to guide the ready-to-wear line.
