Summer Affair is a celebration of movement, confidence and individuality.

Troye Sivan, Kelvin Harrison Jr. Among the Stars of Prada's Fall/Winter 2026 Campaign

Prada has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign, bringing together Troye Sivan, Hunter Schafer, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Chen Haoyu in a cinematic series that explores the beauty of everyday moments. Created by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the campaign transforms ordinary scenes into intimate visual narratives where fashion becomes part of the story.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins, the campaign blurs the boundaries between cinema and photography, capturing spontaneous gestures, quiet emotions and natural movement. Rather than presenting traditional fashion imagery, each portrait feels like a still from an unseen film, inviting viewers to imagine the story unfolding beyond the frame.

Balancing portraiture with carefully composed still lifes, Prada continues to merge fashion, art and filmmaking into a single visual language. The result is a thoughtful campaign that highlights the Fall/Winter 2026 collection through authenticity, emotion and understated elegance.

Timberland and Jacquemus Return with a Fresh Take on the Classic Boat Shoe

Timberland and Jacquemus have joined forces once again, unveiling their second collaborative release after the success of their debut partnership in 2025. For this latest chapter, the brands turn their attention to one of Timberland's most recognisable designs, reimagining the iconic 3-Eye Lug boat shoe through Jacquemus' distinctive summer-inspired aesthetic.

The new Timberland x Jacquemus Authentic Boat Shoe is presented exclusively in Lagoon Blue, a vibrant hue introduced in Jacquemus' Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Le Bonheur. The colour draws inspiration from the geometric elegance of Art Deco architecture and the bold palette of the 1980s Memphis design movement, giving the heritage silhouette a contemporary seasonal update.

Constructed from premium leather, the shoe features a matching leather lining and Timberland's signature lug outsole, balancing durability with elevated craftsmanship. Tonal branding, including the iconic Timberland tree logo, blends seamlessly into the monochromatic design, while refined metallic eyelets and polished lace tips introduce subtle Jacquemus detailing.

By combining Timberland's outdoor heritage with Jacquemus' modern approach to colour and design, the collaboration delivers a versatile summer shoe that feels both classic and contemporary.

The Timberland x Jacquemus Authentic Boat Shoe retails for €250 and is now available through the official Jacquemus and Timberland websites, as well as selected stores from both brands worldwide. Additional retail partners are expected to receive the release later this summer.

WE LOVE Celine's Infinite Possibilities Silk Scarf Campaign

Captured by photographers Eijin Ota and Victor Brun, the campaign spotlights a curated selection of beautifully crafted carré scarves, reimagining one of the Maison's most iconic accessories as a canvas for creativity and storytelling.

The scarf collection continues CELINE's Infinite Possibilities series, following the introduction of collectible charms at the end of last year. Together, these accessories complement both the women's and men's runway collections, offering versatile pieces that seamlessly blend craftsmanship, heritage and modern style.

With Infinite Possibilities, CELINE once again proves that the smallest details can make the strongest statement, transforming a classic wardrobe essential into an expression of individuality and artistic vision.

The New Balance 950 Campaign starring Cooper Flagg

Drawing inspiration from iconic basketball sneakers of the mid-1980s, New Balance unveils the 950, a new silhouette that brings archival design into the present.

The result is a versatile style created for life both on and beyond the court.

Fronting the global campaign is NBA standout and New Balance ambassador Cooper Flagg, joined by his siblings in a story that celebrates family, connection, and individuality. More than a sneaker launch, the campaign reflects the brand's vision of merging sport, culture, and everyday style.

Dolce & Gabbana SS27: Embroidered Memory, Sculpted Tailoring, and Sun-Faded Luxury at Milan Fashion Week

There are shows that whisper. And then there is Dolce & Gabbana—a house that has never learned moderation, nor ever needed it.

For Spring/Summer 2027, the Italian duo returned to Milan with Vacanze Siciliane, a collection that did not attempt to reinvent the brand, but instead sharpened its identity until it felt almost architectural. This was not nostalgia. It was reaffirmation. Sicily, once again, was not a theme—it was a law.

Presented inside a cinematic Mediterranean set, the runway unfolded like a heatwave memory: stone terraces, coastal light, and a fantasy of southern escape where tailoring meets sunburnt sensuality. The message was immediate—this is menswear built for exposure, not protection.

The collection oscillated between discipline and indulgence. Tailoring remained sharp, broad, and unmistakably Italian, but it was constantly interrupted by pleasure: laser-cut suits designed for airflow, softened trousers that fell like liquid, and shirts that carried the weight of postcards, citrus prints, and fragmented holiday imagery.

Nothing here was shy. Yet nothing felt chaotic. The balance was deliberate—controlled excess, engineered seduction.

Embroidery became language. Coral-like beading, crystal clusters, and hand-finished surfaces turned garments into tactile surfaces rather than simple clothing. Denim was no longer casual—it was ornamented memory. Knitwear became skin. Even the most structured jackets carried traces of erosion, as if heat itself had softened their edges.

Accessories extended the narrative. Oversized travel bags suggested escape without destination. Footwear leaned into craft rather than statement, woven and sculpted like objects recovered from a Mediterranean past that never fully existed, but feels emotionally accurate.

And then came the white.

The closing sequence dissolved everything into purity—an all-white procession that felt less like an ending and more like erasure. After all the ornament, all the color, all the Sicilian noise, the final gesture was silence in fabric form.

If there is a contradiction at the heart of Dolce & Gabbana, it is this: they design as if restraint is impossible, and then prove it can exist—just heavily decorated.

This season, they did not chase relevance. They doubled down on identity. In an industry obsessed with reinterpretation, Vacanze Siciliane insisted on something far more radical: continuity without apology.

And in that refusal to dilute themselves, they remain exactly what they have always been—unmistakably, uncompromisingly loud.

Phillip notes:

"Between Light and Skin" is a visual exploration of intimacy, silence, and the relationship between body and space.

Set in the soft natural light of a quiet interior, this series reflects vulnerability, strength, and the beauty of unguarded presence.

The human body becomes both subject and architecture — shaped by shadow, framed by windows, and suspended between exposure and privacy.

Tommy Hilfiger Heads Poolside for Summer 2026

Tommy Hilfiger dives into Summer 2026 with a swimwear campaign that feels effortless, sun-soaked, and unmistakably classic Americana. Photographed by Misha Taylor and styled by Géraldine Saglio, the story unfolds against a cinematic backdrop of cypress-lined gardens, white stone architecture, and a pool shimmering in Hockney-blue tones.

Fronted by Francisco Henriques, Hamid Onifadé, and Kai Paula, the campaign captures the relaxed rhythm of summer through pieces designed for movement and ease. Short-cut swim trunks, elastic waists, and lightweight silhouettes keep the mood uncomplicated and wearable.

A mint pair embroidered with the iconic logo, yellow striped shorts, and navy diamond-print swimwear define the collection’s core palette — playful without losing the brand’s polished identity. Signature details, like the red baseball cap stamped with the flag logo, ground the campaign in unmistakable Tommy codes.

Rather than staging perfection, Tommy Hilfiger focuses on atmosphere: friends by the pool, sunlight on skin, and the kind of summer that feels spontaneous rather than styled.

EDITOR’S PICK: Jacob Elordi Steps Into the Bleu de Chanel Era

Not breaking news — but worth your attention now.

Jacob Elordi is the new face of Bleu de Chanel, marking a clear shift for the house after years of introspective, auteur-led campaigns. He succeeds Timothée Chalamet, closing a long chapter that also included Gaspard Ulliel — both figures of a more poetic, inward-looking masculinity shaped by cinematic storytelling.

This time, Chanel changes the tone. The new campaign for Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif — a deeper, more concentrated take on the original — leans into presence over introspection. Behind the lens is Alfonso Cuarón, whose direction signals a move away from abstraction and into something more immediate, physical, and charged with tension.

Where past films explored freedom through thought and distance, this new chapter suggests something more embodied — desire, movement, and control. It’s a recalibration that aligns with Elordi’s screen persona: composed, magnetic, and impossible to ignore.

The result feels deliberate. Less monologue, more momentum. Less dream, more impact.

Not new — but a shift you can’t overlook.

Dolce & Gabbana and Ray-Ban reimagine the Aviator

Dolce & Gabbana and Ray-Ban unite for a collaboration that revisits one of eyewear’s most iconic silhouettes. Ahead of Ray-Ban’s 90th anniversary, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana reinterpret the Aviator through two distinct models: Shooter and Outdoorsman II.

The Shooter draws directly from archival references, defined by a bold structure, a mother-of-pearl top bar, and an integrated cigarette holder—details that evoke a refined, vintage sensibility. Teardrop lenses appear in a spectrum of tones, from orange and pink to green, blue, and yellow, offered in both mirrored and clear finishes. A slim metal frame preserves the classic pilot shape while introducing a subtle rimless effect.

In contrast, the Outdoorsman II adopts a more understated approach. Its pronounced top bar adds a graphic edge, while the lightweight frame plays with negative space to enhance the silhouette. The lenses, available in muted shades including blue, dusty rose, beige, brown, and green, maintain the same mirrored and clear variations.

Both designs feature dual branding applied with precision and are accompanied by an exclusive leather case with a gold-tone strap and clasp, designed to function as an accessory—attachable to a handbag or belt.

The campaign, captured by Gray Sorrenti, presents the collection through a contemporary, fashion-driven lens.

PUMA x Jil Sander Refine the K-Street

PUMA and Jil Sander continue their evolving collaboration with a new iteration of the K-Street, following the revival of the King Avanti in late 2025.

Designed under the direction of Simone Bellotti, the sneaker reflects a philosophy of purity, precision, and restraint. Its streamlined silhouette features a close, contoured fit and an ultra-thin sole, designed to follow the natural line of the foot while balancing softness with structure.

The K-Street’s fluid shape conveys a sense of movement, with sinuous lines extending from the Formstrip through to the sole. Drawing from sport, the upper references PUMA’s archival H-Street running spike, while the sole takes inspiration from karate—informing both its construction and name.

Offered in perforated suede, canvas, and nylon across muted and vibrant tones, the design is finished with co-branded detailing. The unisex model launches globally from April 8, 2026, with select variations exclusive to Jil Sander retail and online channels.

Jean Paul Gaultier Reveals Campaign for Duran Lantink’s Debut Collection

Jean Paul Gaultier enters a new era with the unveiling of “Junior,” the first collection by Duran Lantink for the house. Marking a significant shift toward ready-to-wear, the Spring/Summer 2026 campaign sets the tone for a renewed creative direction—one that balances heritage with reinvention.

Captured by renowned photography duo Inez and Vinoodh and styled by Jodie Barnes, the campaign delivers a sharp visual narrative rooted in the spirit of the late 1980s. The imagery explores bold silhouettes, theatrical glamour, and a sense of character-driven play—elements long associated with the house’s DNA, now reinterpreted through Lantink’s lens.

The cast—Leon Dame, Signe Veiteberg Michaelsson, Emaan Zishan, and Marte Mei Van Haaster—embodies this vision with striking presence. Each image feels both nostalgic and forward-facing, merging archival references with a contemporary edge.

With “Junior,” Jean Paul Gaultier signals a deliberate evolution: a move into structured ready-to-wear that maintains the house’s expressive core while opening the door to a broader, modern audience.

Romain Berger: Staging Desire Between Cinema and Fiction

In the visual universe of Romain Berger, every image feels like a scene paused mid-story. Photographer, scenographer, filmmaker, and art director, Berger constructs worlds where cinema and photography collide, creating images that function as suspended narratives rather than simple portraits.

Atmosphere is everything. Color, lighting, and composition are meticulously orchestrated to build emotionally charged environments where each frame feels deliberate and theatrical. Berger’s practice exists at the intersection of staging and fiction, transforming photography into a space where storytelling unfolds without words.

At the center of his visual language is the male body. Rather than serving as a manifesto, it becomes a recurring symbol within Berger’s carefully constructed scenes. Through this approach, he examines cultural codes, familiar clichés, and contemporary archetypes, presenting masculinity as something performative, stylized, and open to interpretation.

While his work often resonates with queer visual culture, Berger avoids framing it as an overtly militant statement. Instead, the imagery naturally reflects the worlds and identities that shape his personal experience. The result is a body of work that feels both intimate and universal—images that invite viewers to enter a space where conventions are quietly challenged and emotions remain just beneath the surface.

Each photograph stands as its own autonomous fiction. Berger’s cinematic eye is deeply informed by filmmakers and visual artists whose work reshaped the aesthetics of desire and identity. Among his influences are directors such as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wong Kar-wai, and Gregg Araki—as well as iconic image-makers like David LaChapelle, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Tom of Finland.

In 2022, Berger published his first photographic book, Life’s a Cabaret, with Men On Paper Art—a retrospective gathering three years of creative work. He also contributed to Sex Utopia, a collective publication featuring major artists including Pierre et Gilles and Bruce LaBruce.

Over the past seven years, Berger’s work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and featured in magazines worldwide, steadily establishing a distinctive voice within contemporary image-making. His practice blurs the boundaries between cinema, fashion, and art photography—creating visual fictions that linger long after the viewer looks away.

For Berger, the photograph is never just an image. It is a moment suspended between fantasy and reality, where narrative, desire, and aesthetic precision come together to form a world entirely of his own.
