This summer, Australian photographer Adrian Meško turns his lens on one of contemporary culture’s most influential dance collectives. Presented at Kolektiv inside Le Corbusier’s iconic Cité Radieuse in ever trendy Marseille, the exhibition offers an intimate portrait of (La)Horde: the boundary-pushing trio who have transformed Ballet National de Marseille into a global platform for movement, identity and collective expression.

We at TWIN, know that fashion has blood and brains and pizzazz, but it also has its own idiosyncrasies, as just one example it’s always been a law unto itself as far as the seasons are concerned. Deliveries of clothes clash with the seasons in real time, and just as one season is being delivered, the next is being launched on the runways. The recent cruise collections extend fashion seasons as news, as do international fashion weeks in locations as far apart as Australia or Spain.

Words by Wendela Rang Some paintings you look at. Others, you can almost hear. With its new exhibition A Red that Sings – on show until 30 August – the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp is asking visitors to do exactly that: listen. View of stencil drawings by James Ensor.

This week is the last chance to see Vogue photographer and Taylor-Wessing finalist Juanita Richards debut solo show, She Drives / She Surfs in Miami. In this striking body of work, the artist brings together a rich collection of beautifully captured photographs of car culture meeting surf culture in her diasporic homeland of Jamaica. The photos capture the sisterhoods born out of women in the Caribbean car scene and the surf collective Surf Girls Jamaica.

JW Anderson’s Summer Series feels raw, sun faded, and a bit undone in the best way. Jonathan Anderson leans into play here, mixing craft with a sense of escape so nothing feels too perfect or controlled. It’s a full sensory mix. Woven leather mules, goat suede loafers, and basket weave textures show up across bags and shoes. The cult Loafer Bag returns too, now handwoven and more irregular, like something picked up at a market rather than bought in a store. Then there are the Leaf Slides.

Birkenstock’s 1774 “Romanticismo” collection takes a softer approach to its classics, landing just as some of its most recognisable styles hit the 50 year mark. Available from 23 April, the collections lends a loose nod to Italian Romanticism. It’s more about mood than concept: slightly richer materials, cleaner lines, and a tight palette of mustard brown and black. Familiar, just dialled in. This season centres on the Milano, which reaches its 50th anniversary in 2026.

The intricate and searching eye of photographer Joanna Piotrowska is presented this Summer with A moment of darkness at noon. Born in Poland and based in Porto, Piotrowska has an interest in domestic space and human-made environments, “which she pursues through experiments with photography’s expanded field in collage, textile, and the sculptural possibilities of image-making.

For Autumn/Winter 2026, Julian Klausner chose to open a new chapter for Dries Van Noten by revisiting a location deeply embedded in the house’s visual memory: Lycée Carnot. Longtime followers of the label may recall the brand’s memorable 2009 presentation there, and Klausner echoed that moment by installing a towering mirror at the entrance of the runway.

For her Winter 2026 runway show, Stella McCartney brought together fashion, childhood nostalgia and a lifelong love of animals through a collaboration with Hasbro’s MY LITTLE PONY. The show celebrated equestrianism and the spirit of the Year of the Horse, creating a playful and personal moment on the Paris runway. First introduced in 1983, MY LITTLE PONY has grown into a global cultural icon.
