Wales Bonner and Adidas Take Us to ’80s London
Grace Wales Bonner has returned to her own archive for her latest AW26 Adidas Originals collection, and the results are rich. The footwear, as always, is strong. The Karintha arrives in dark brown crocodile-stamped leather with gold brushed eyelets, the Gazelle gets the same treatment in green, and the minimal new BW Pony comes in pony hair with lizard-print overlays.
Tekla And Auralee Head To The Highlands For Their Latest Collab
“We often say there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.” It’s a Scandinavian saying, and Kristoffer Juhl, co-founder and managing director of Copenhagen label Tekla, has built a second collaboration around it. Teaming up again with Tokyo’s Auralee, Tekla has launched a capsule collection across ready-to-wear and homeware, available from today on both brands’ online stores and selected retailers.
Givenchy’s L’Interdit Elixir Is Its Most Intense Expression To Date
Few fragrances are as closely tied to the house that made them as L’Interdit is to Givenchy. It was the maison’s first perfume, created in 1957 by Hubert de Givenchy for his close friend and muse Audrey Hepburn, and it’s a scent built around crossing the line. L’Interdit Elixir, the newest addition to their beauty line, is its most intense expression to date.
Ten’s To See: Lumps And Bumps at Rose Easton
In 1997, Rei Kawakubo asked what a dress might do if it stopped following the body and started rearranging it. Her spring/summer collection for Comme des Garçons, Body Meets Dress, Dress Meets Body, sent models out in stretch gingham with down-filled pads sewn in at the hip, the shoulder and the back, making lumps where none were expected. The shapes divided opinion so sharply that Vogue and Elle both photographed the collection with the pads removed.
GUCCI's BEAUTY AND THE BAG CONTINUES
Gucci‘s Beauty and the Bag campaign has a new star: Vittoria Ceretti, in an all-white look to match the Jetset GG Marmont bag. Mert and Marcus photographed Ceretti alongside her Jetset, the new take on the classic GG Marmont. The bag keeps the Double G, a 1970s emblem that references the initials of Guccio Gucci, and pairs it with the green and red Web stripe on a soft construction.
Giorgio Armani And Kith Collab Has Arrived
Dreams of the Dune, the third Armani x Kith chapter, was shown at sunset in Morocco’s Agafay Desert, with a palette running from black and deep blue through to icy white. Think sun-bleached, relaxed and very wearable, including a belted shearling jacket, a two-tone leather utility jacket, wide fluid trousers and Armani’s slouchy, deconstructed tailoring, plus dune-print shirts and a reversible sweater blouson, striped inside and sand outside.
Step Inside Our Party Celebrating John Varvatos AW26
Last night, we gathered at John Varvatos‘ flagship on Conduit Street to toast the arrival of the brand’s Fall ’26 collection in stores. The autumnal collection draws on 1970s London rock and American heritage, with sharp tailoring, shearling and suede outerwear, velvet shirting and cashmere knits among the standout pieces. Tailoring with a little edge is what the brand does best, and the store, with its basement styled as a New York dive bar, suits it beautifully.
Anthony Vaccarello Exits Saint Laurent
Anthony Vaccarello has brought his golden decade at Saint Laurent to a close. Announced over the weekend, the Belgian-Italian designer is stepping down as creative director of the French house, bringing his 10-year tenure at its helm to a close. Vaccarello was appointed to the role in April 2016, succeeding Hedi Slimane, and presented his first collection for the house later that year during Paris Fashion Week.
BREAKING: Anthony Vaccarello Exits Saint Laurent After 10 Glorious Years
Anthony Vaccarello has brought his golden decade at Saint Laurent to a close. Announced today, the Belgian-Italian designer is stepping down as creative director of the French house, bringing his 10-year tenure at its helm to a close. Vaccarello was appointed to the role in April 2016, succeeding Hedi Slimane, and presented his first collection for the house later that year during Paris Fashion Week. The announcement follows Vaccarello’s SS27 collection, presented in Paris on September 29.
Edward Enninful’s ‘The 90s: Art And Fashion’ At Tate Britain
There is a particular kind of electricity Edward Enninful has spent the past two years trying to bottle for the walls of Tate Britain. It belonged to a decade when nobody stayed in their lane – when, as he remembers it, “a morning shoot with Nick [Knight] and Kate [Moss] would very often dissolve into a night in Soho”. Designers, artists, photographers and musicians were all circling the same rooms. The ideas they had and the boundaries between disciplines were collapsing in real time.

John Galliano’s Zara Collection Just Dropped
John Galliano is back – but not quite as you might have expected. For his first major project since leaving Maison Margiela in 2024, the designer has teamed up with Zara on Re{form}, a two-year creative partnership that turns his eye to the retailer’s own archive. Announced earlier this year, it marks a new chapter for a designer who has spent four decades moving between grand shows and some of the most technically inventive clothes in fashion. The first instalment, Vol.

Sportmax: Ready-To-Wear SS27
The heat was the brief at Sportmax this season, and the collection shown in the courtyard of Palazzo Litta made its case by going against the obvious. Rather than strip clothes back for a warming summer, the house layered them – on the condition that you could see through the layers. Fine enough to be near-transparent, organza was set over cotton slips, layered to build up colour and drawn into trousers that gathered at the ankle, covering the leg without sealing it off. Jackets lost their sleeves.
10 Questions With Jennifer Loveless As She Gears Up To Release Her Debut Album
Honest, visceral, contemplative. 2. What was the first record that made you want to become a DJ and producer? Lady Blacktronika – Never Everything, or Caribou – Our Love. 3. What’s been the highlight of your summer so far? Hmm, hard to pick. My first time at Gottwood, which I really loved. Returning to Gala for the On Loop stage was super nice too, as were Dekmantel and Lost Village. It’s been a nice summer : ) 4. When you’re not DJing or making music, where are we most likely to find you?

Onitsuka Tiger: Ready-To-Wear SS27
Onitsuka Tiger turned Milan into an ‘Energy Station’ – as it termed its collection – for SS27, with fashion meeting movement with a street style flair. Unfolding against a futuristic set, the collection took the brand’s sporting codes for a spin, sending tiger stripes into new territory alongside colour-blocking, technical layers and a sea of unexpected combinations. There was a distinctly playful spirit at work, with sporty separates meeting sharper, more considered silhouettes.
Jil Sander: Ready-To-Wear SS27
At Jil Sander, creative director Simone Bellotti continued to find new ways to challenge the brand’s minimalist codes, this time by embracing imperfection. For SS27, the designer took the familiar building blocks of an enduring wardrobe – tailoring, knitwear and considered silhouettes – and gave them a sense of movement. Jackets were twisted, their fabrics crumpled and hemlines shifted. Sculptural volumes punctuated the offering, lending an unexpected lightness to otherwise angular garments.
Burberry Marks 170 Years With A V&A Exhibition Celebrating The Trench
The Burberry trench coat has earned its very own retrospective. This September, the V&A has teamed up with the British heritage brand to unveil The Burberry Trench: Crafting An Icon, a free display at V&A South Kensington marking the house’s 170th anniversary and the enduring appeal of a coat that has weathered, quite literally, every decade since its invention.
Ten Meets Luna Romanovna, The Designer Creating Sculptural DJ Booths For The Centre Stage
Luna Romanovna is a Paris-based designer whose studio, Rmnva (a summarised version of her surname), makes what she has coined Contemporary Sound Sculptures – DJ booths built to professional spec that function as collectible design objects. They are bespoke, produced in tiny editions and headed for residences, hotels, galleries and institutions, rather than the club circuit.
Victoria Beckham On Hotel Portofino, Her First Extrait De Parfum
Perfume is almost always in the business of beginnings. Scents trade in first encounters and charged glances, in the delirium of not yet knowing where a new romance might lead. For her latest perfume, Victoria Beckham has done something a little different: she has made a fragrance about the part that comes afterwards – the deepening of a love story over time.
Meet The Winners Of The 2026 LVMH Prize
Julie Kegels has won the 13th LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers, announced this afternoon at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. Presented with the award by Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, the Belgian designer takes home a €400,000 endowment alongside a year of mentorship from teams within LVMH. Kegels, 27, launched her eponymous Antwerp-based womenswear label in 2024, shortly after graduating from the city’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and has moved quickly since.

10 Minutes With Zac Posen As He Releases GapStudio’s AW26 Collection
For GapStudio’s fall 2026 offering, Gap Inc. creative director Zac Posen returns to the all-American staples the brand was built on – denim, chinos, shirting, the tee, utility and workwear – and rebuilds each from its foundations. Available now exclusively on Gap’s website, the 20-piece run carries the outline of everything the brand has sold since 1969. GapStudio is the prestige end of the revival Posen was hired to lead when he joined Gap Inc. in February 2024.

Dame Pat McGrath And Nicolas Ghesquière Team Up For Louis Vuitton’s First Beauty Collab
A year after Louis Vuitton entered the beauty sphere with La Beauté, the house has debuted its first collaboration – and rather than looking beyond its own walls, it has turned to a fellow creative within the maison. Dame Pat McGrath, creative director of cosmetics, and Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of womenswear, have united for a limited-edition collection of eyes and lips, marking 130 years of the Monogram by adorning the storied canvas on cosmetics for the first time.
10 Acts To See At This Year’s Rally Festival
Looking for one last festival to squeeze into summer? Luckily, Rally has got you covered. The one-day event returns to Southwark Park on Saturday, August 29, bringing its DIY spirit and knack for booking your next favourite artist back for a fourth year running. Created as an antidote to algorithm-influenced line-ups, the festival has become one of London’s best days out for the musically curious – so much so that this year’s edition, its biggest yet, is completely sold out.
Margene is the London Label Crafting Clothes That Can Evolve Over Time
Margene, by its founders’ own admission, “started with a complaint”. Aditi Sahoo and Kewal Gala – friends since they met in student halls nine years ago – are cut, they’ll happily tell you, from different cloth. Growing up in India, Sahoo had her clothes tailored as a matter of course. Alterations are a democratic, everyday practice and trousers come with generous seam allowances – room built in for a body to change. In London, she found, brands offered no such thing.
Ten Meets Jeanne Friot, The Designer Turning Restraints Into Armour
In June, mid-Pride Month, Jeanne Friot showed Hysteria at the Palais de Tokyo: her ninth collection, her second on the official Paris Fashion Week calendar and the clearest statement yet of what her label exists to do. With the name referencing a diagnosis once used to institutionalise women, this became Friot’s design brief. “For me, it’s a look at the political world we live in right now,” says the Parisian designer.
Ten Tips For Learning The Language Of Fashion Business
There was a moment last year – somewhere between my eighth saved TikTok on ‘office siren’ dressing and a 70-slide trend report theatrically heralding the return of ‘mob wife chic’ – when I realised I’d hit peak aesthetic fatigue. Micro-trends were multiplying by the week and every desperate attempt to get up to speed only dragged me deeper into a hot mess of hauls, hot takes and influencer think pieces debating whether the ‘vanilla girl’ was finally passé (it indeed, at the time, was not).
Ten Tips For Becoming Fluent In The Business Of Fashion

Each bottle is layered with intention. The debut line evoked mindful states tied to Myanmar; the sophomore collection translated this ethos into the urban rituals of New York (although the brand is considered very much London-born and bred). Deities continues this thread - exploring myth as a vehicle for introspection.
Gabar Is The Fragrance Brand Building Worlds Through Scent
Born from upheaval and rooted in hope, Gabar isn’t your typical fragrance house. The brainchild of Phway Su Aye and co-founder Susan Wai Hnin, the brand emerged in 2020 – a year defined by rupture. Named after the word for ‘world’ in Burmese, Gabar is a sensory vessel for healing, reconnection and radical reimagination. From Myanmar’s political unrest to global calls for justice, Gabar’s origin is both personal and political.
The Autumn 2025 Miss Dior Makeup Collection Was Made For The Pop Princess
Ever wanted to live out the pop girl fantasy? A chrome pink lid, a bratty nude lip and eyeliner smudged just enough to look accidental. Maybe you’re mid-mirror performance, dancing to Charli XCX in last night’s heels, or reliving your Tumblr era with a high-gloss twist. That’s the energy Dior captures this season with the launch of its Miss Dior autumn 2025 makeup collection – a high-pigment, high-attitude edit that invites you to create pretty and punchy beauty looks on your own terms.
10 Questions With Surusinghe As She Gears Up To Play Dekmantel Festival
After seizing global dance floors with a sound shaped by taut techno mechanics and shape-shifting basslines, Surusinghe is a star on the rise. With releases on imprints like AD93, Steel City Dance Discs and Tra Tra Trax, the Melbourne-born, London-based producer is about to add another notch onto her belt – a debut for Amsterdam’s beloved Dekmantel Festival.
Chemena Kamali Looks To '80s Cinema For Latest ChloƩ Collection
For spring 2026, Chloé splits itself between movie screens and silhouettes pulled from the early '80s as a springboard, looking at the high-gloss seduction of Hollywood noir and the stripped-down realism of feminist indie film. In the lookbook, creative director Chemena Kamali foregrounds a Chloé woman who fluctuates between fantasy and vérité.
Viktor & Rolf: Couture AW25
At Viktor & Rolf's autumn/winter 2025 couture show, the silhouette did more than define the garment - it called it into question. Titled Angry Birds, the collection unfolded not as a linear presentation but as a mirrored proposition: fifteen identical black looks, each shown twice. First, in full plumage - ballooned with candy-coloured feathers, sculptural flourishes and millinery by Stephen Jones that bordered on avian couture caricature.

Walter Van Beirendonck: Menswear SS26
Walter Van Beirendonck 's SS26 show was something like a time-warped technicolour tantrum - one foot in a paint-splattered atelier, the other boot-deep in a parallel realm. With starry eyes pried open - glittering, winking - the collection pulled references from 18th-century boyhood, glitchy family portraits and the sartorial remnants of artists' smocks, then spliced them together in an Anna Piaggi-esque clash and flash. Faux-fur charcoal cuffs ballooned at the wrist.

Acne Studios: Menswear SS26
For SS26, Acne Studios proposes an ensemble stranger, and sharper, than perfection. The collection, according to the press release, was built around this idea of an "intuitive way of dressing, spontaneous and unbothered". That means that where last season examined the glossy extremities of masculine suiting this outing offers a more youthful proposition: sleek, tailored precision yes, but made better by its refusal to be pristine. It's not about polishing the Acne man into his final form.

Graduate Fashion Week: Day Four
Monday at Graduate Fashion Week brimmed with the buzz of 20,000 guests and the kind of energy only raw talent can ignite. But off the runway – and deep inside the Digital Hub – I had a runway moment of my own. As part of an interactive activation led by Clo 3D, I was invited to try my hand at virtual garment design. With a keyboard in hand and interface on screen, I created my first piece (a bra, no less): entirely black lace, underwired, pattern-cut and rendered in three dimensions.
Graduate Fashion Week: Day Three
On Sunday, Graduate Fashion Week 2025 – otherwise known as the world’s largest showcase of BA design talent – opened Day Three with a (global) fashion statement. The GFW International Catwalk saw the London runway transform into a cross-continental collision of style, with 18 design institutions in the mix – Accademia della Moda IUAD (Rome), Shih Chien University (Taipei) and Taylor’s University (Malaysia), amongst many others.
Graduate Fashion Week: Day Two
On Saturday, Graduate Fashion Week slipped into its second day with a tailored focus on menswear. Across a handful of standout shows, students reimagined the category with subversion – and at times, outright rebellion. For the uninitiated, GFW isn’t just a student showcase; it’s a 34-year-old proving ground where the likes of Christopher Bailey and Stella McCartney once cut their teeth – and where you might find the next big thing nervously pinning a hem backstage.
Graduate Fashion Week: Day One
What do you wear to witness the future of fashion? If you’re me, something with pockets. Graduate Fashion Week 2025 has commenced at the Truman Brewery, and this year’s spectacle came swift and well… strange – kicked off by the University of Central Lancashire and Norwich University of the Arts in a double-bill of unruly invention. UCLan dialled up the surrealism with a sheer red bodysuit and plunging blazer, like a corporate hallucination from a fever dream.
Ten's To See: 'Cary Kwok: Is This Love?' At Herald St
Cary Kwok has always been a flirt. Known for his biro-drawn (ball point pen-drawn) orgiastic tableaus and high-camp reinterpretations of pop culture, his work often reads like a well-dressed rendering of something altogether filthier. But in Is This Love? – his sixth exhibition at Herald St – Kwok trades the full-frontal spectacle for something more pared-back, though no less seductive.
10 Questions With DJ Heartstring As They Gear Up To Play Parklife Festival
Straight from Berlin’s underground to Parklife’s main stage, DJ Heartstring are here to make you dance, cry and fall a little bit in love. Known for their euphoric high-speed blends of pumping rhythms and emotional melodies, the DJ duo – Jonas and Leo – have been soundtracking heartbreak and hedonism in equal measure since 2021. Their signature Trance Dance Music is fast, nostalgic and made to move both body and soul.
