Erdem S/S 2026
A Wardrobe for the Women of Many Selves
For Metal Magazine
September 2025
Contradictory, peculiarly feminine, and somewhat mystical; this is how Erdem’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection comes across. And the reason behind this is none other than the exceptional figure of Hélène Smith, a late 19th-century Swiss medium in whom the brand has found inspiration.
The brand’s latest offering channels the mystical spirit of femininity, while exploring the concepts of identity, romance and surreal elegance.

Grace Ling S/S 2026
Sharp Tailoring, Sharper Knives
For Metal Magazine
September 2025
Haven’t you ever strolled through a museum, an antique shop, or even your grandmother’s house and stopped in front of a random object that just caught your attention? These are objects that emanate a soft, intriguing energy, making you wonder who created them or who has held them in their hands. Then, you look around at your surroundings, full of contemporary objects, and realise: whatever we are creating right now will one day be seen as artefacts. Everything is both very ancient and very futuristic at the same time. This feeling serves as the inspiration for Grace Ling’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Future Relics, recently presented during New York Fashion Week.

Altuzarra S/S 2026
The Second Glance
September 2025
If Joseph Altuzarra, creative director of the eponymous fashion brand, can be proud of something, it is designing a beautiful collection; one that may require a second look to fully appreciate, since the first glance was not enough to register everything it has to offer. This idea also serves as the inspiration for the Spring/Summer 2026 collection: imagine catching someone in the corner of your eye, only to see a completely different image when you look again. What is real, and what is illusion?

Proenza Schouler’s S/S2026
A Soft Undoing, or a Bold Beginning?
September 2025
Sharp silhouettes, fun accessories, texture, and a pop of colour: Proenza Schouler’s Spring/Summer 2026 had it all. Conceived as a prelude to a new chapter, this is the brand’s first collection alongside its newly appointed creative director, Rachel Scott, announced on September 2nd following the departure of founders Jack McCollough and Lázaro Hernández.
As stated in the press release, Proenza Schouler’s new collection is a “soft undoing”: threads are loosened, motifs blurred, patterns unraveled, and interiors brought to the surface. Growth requires transformation, and sometimes that means undoing what came before.

ModaLisboa S/S 2026
Beyond the Runway
October 2025
Fashion appears as this incredibly alluring, captivating, and endearing industry at first glance, but we often forget that it can carry a deeper, even purposeful background. It’s not only about being on trend — like any other art form, it’s meant to express and reflect. This is what the 65th edition of ModaLisboa set as its foundation: to imagine fashion as a living ecosystem, where doing intersects with knowing, and where creative action extends into systems of connection, experimentation, and attentive listening.

Khaite S/S 2026
Chic, raw , unafraid
September 2025
We all want to be the Khaite woman: she carries herself with enviable composure, a strong walk, and a polished presence. She is chic, elegant, and enters a room with her chin lifted, looking everyone into their eyes. Yet only she knows that beneath the surface she is not entirely confident; and it is precisely there that her power resides. “The Khaite woman is really comfortable in being uncomfortable,” said designer and creative director Catherine Holstein backstage after the show. In that sense, perhaps we are all Khaite women: a little self-conscious, a little insecure, but moving forward regardless.

Zomer S/S 2026
Think Big, Then Bigger
September 2025
Playful and experimental, Zomer has always asked: what if clothing were imagined through a child’s eyes?

Giorgio Armani: Milano, Per Amore
Fashion as Heritage
September 2025
Giorgio Armani is one of those names that will remain forever bound to the history of fashion, both for his persona and for having revolutionised the scene with what we now know as the minimalist style: one marked by sobriety, elegance and timelessness. Over the course of his career, the Italian designer succeeded in expanding well beyond haute couture, rightfully earning the labels of artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Now, the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan is celebrating Armani’s fifty-year creative journey by hosting, for the very first time, an exhibition devoted to his stylistic trajectory, Giorgio Armani: Milano, Per Amore.

Bershka Downtown Denim
Adiós verano, hola vaqueros
Septiembre 2025
Septiembre y la vuelta al cole —aunque sea retórica ya para muchos de nosotros— pueden sentirse como un nuevo comienzo: empieza el otoño y se acaba el verano y, consigo, la ilusión momentánea de no tener que volver a ver a tus compañeros de trabajo de nuevo. Aunque nos caigan bien, ¿quién no prefiere estar en la playa? Pero, ¡sorpresa!, las vacaciones han acabado y nos hallamos de vuelta en la oficina.Pese a esta decepción inicial, septiembre, por alguna razón, se siente especial. Bershka lo sabe y, por eso, nos presenta su última colección, Downtown Denim.
