Fashion Round-Up
Time flies, so to keep you in the loop, we’ve rounded up all the important snippets of fashion news from the past seven days into one neat feature.
Prada Mode in London
The thirteenth edition of Prada Mode arrived at London’s Town Hall in King’s Cross, coinciding with the arrival of Frieze in the capital. Created in collaboration with Berlin-based visual artists Elmgreen & Dragset, the multi-day event centred around The Audience, an immersive cinema installation “that is both a sculptural environment and a meditation on spectatorship in the age of image overload, hyperconnectivity, and attention deficit.”

De Niro and Pacino as Moncler’s campaign stars
Moncler want you to get Warmer Together. In a new campaign, the Alpine brand is focusing on friendship and human connection, bringing people together to share the love, and the warmth. And who better to be the faces of this campaign than legendary actors, and lifelong friends, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino?
Isabel Marant opened her first-ever Selfridges pop-up
Running until the end of November, the Isabel Marant pop-up in Selfridges features exclusive pieces created especially for the store, including an array of sweatshirts, t-shirts, caps and a range of accessories such as cardholders or bag charms. The star of the show, however, is the Bolton Bag, the latest addition to Isabel Marant’s signature collection, which is presented alongside pieces from the brand’s FW25 collection.
ERL dropped their new collection, Surplus
ERL’s new collection draws inspiration from the humble surplus store, described as a “deep corner of the American consciousness.” A haven for leftovers and unused garments, the surplus store stands as a living archive of clothing history. Through processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, ERL reimagines surplus stock for their new collection, with a dash of their signature California sensibility.

Simone Rocha’s SS26 menswear
First debuted at Simone Rocha’s SS26 show in London, the designer has released an extended collection of her menswear offering. Although inspired by Justine Kurland’s iconic photography series Girl Pictures, that didn’t mean that Rocha left out her boys this season. Presented in the form of a lookbook, key pieces consist of sequinned shorts, draped suiting, floral outerwear and semi-sheer t-shirts.
Desert Daze with Duke + Dexter
For their new Ace High II collection, Duke + Dexter headed west from their previous campaign spot in LA to Palm Springs (past the Cabazon Dinosaurs, towards the giant Marilyn Monroe), with all its sun-bleached modernism and star-studded history. Once a desert playground for Hollywood’s golden era, the city’s mid-century homes and incredible landscapes set the tone as the brand threw its own poolside party. Models Keesh and Lukas take it easy in the collection’s footwear, apparel, and accessories, cut from premium leather and heavyweight jersey, finished with chainstitching, embroidery, and in-house illustrations.

The collaboration reimagines Schott NYC’s iconic shearling jacket and introduces limited-edition jackets and vests for both women and men, offering a distinctly Scandinavian take on the quintessential New York brand. The accompanying campaign has been captured by longtime collaborator Vitali Gelwich.

Gary Card takes over Harvey Nichols
Knightsbridge department store Harvey Nichols has opened up a new space, located on the ground floor and titled ‘125’, which will celebrate design and craftsmanship. Operating on rotation, the space features curated selections of furniture, photography books and art by the likes of Claire de Rouen and Brigitta Spinocchia Freund. Currently on display is an installation created by British artist Gary Card titled ‘Harvey, Nick, Joe and Tom’, featuring oversized heads fused in silver, blue, red and yellow in a larger-than-life totem pole-esque formation.
Loewe reunites with On
Since their first partnership in early 2022, Loewe’s collaboration with On has become one of the most sought-after pairings in the game. Reuniting once again, this season marks a limited release of the Cloudsolo sneaker, the first shoe co-designed by both brands. A meeting of Spanish craft and Swiss engineering, the expertly designed trainer arrives alongside a selection of ready-to-wear silhouettes prioritising performance technology, immortalised in a campaign captured by Ryan McGinley.
