Dsquared2 in Brazil
The Caten boys aren’t daft, why set your campaign at home when you can head to the sun, sea, and sizzle of Rio de Janeiro. Shot entirely with a Brazilian cast and crew, the imagery celebrates the South American country in all its vibrancy while spotlighting the brand’s hot, hot, hot SS26 collection.

Travis Kelce x Tommy Hilfiger
In a major coup, the US brand has announced the three-time Super Bowl champion as Global Brand Ambassador and creative collaborator. What does this mean? Well, Kelce will front and centre across Tommy Hilfiger’s upcoming campaigns, beginning with Fall 2026’s NYC-set imagery.
“I’ve long admired Tommy Hilfiger as an iconic American brand,” said Kelce. “Ever since high school, when I used to ask my mom to buy Sailing Gear jackets, I’ve been drawn towards the brand’s confident style and over the years have respected its ability to be classic and consistent while still evolving. Getting to work with Tommy and put my own twist on timeless pieces, in a way that feels original for today, is a dream come true.”
Louis Vuitton’s Speedy P9 Bag campaign
LV have taken a new approach to the “What’s in my bag?” format, photographing the new Speedy P9 in a series of still-life images featuring essentials from friends of the house. Jeremy Allen White, Jude Bellingham, Future, LeBron James, Jackson Wang, and Victor Wembanyama reveal what they keep inside their Speedy P9, fitting everything from a copy of today’s newspaper to a tennis racquet.
Celebrating 20 years of Le Labo

Two decades after opening its first lab in New York’s Nolita neighbourhood, the brand has been dedicated to the art of slow perfumery ever since. The book comprises a curated collection of personal essays, musings and photographs which immortalise twenty years of craft and scent.

A Margiela flea market
Not your average car boot sale, this season Glenn Martens pitched up in Shanghai to deliver a spectacular Maison Margiela show set in an imagined French flea market. The clothes mirrored the theme, crafted from discarded or unusual materials, and using artisanal techniques that cracked and distressed fabrications.
Dior’s new Roadie Shoe
First seen on the brand’s SS26 runway and worn by Jonathan Anderson during his first show for the House, the Roadie Shoe is the new shoe in Dior’s footwear offering. Offering a hybrid between “casual sneakers and functional elegance,” the silhouette comes in a range of brown, grey, dark green, or beige, each adorned with the Dior logo on the side.
Ludovic de Saint Sernan FW26
This season, Ludovic de Saint Sernan opted to present his FW26 collection as a lookbook, photographed by Italian duo Nicola and Manuel. Exploring a darker side of the designer’s vision, the collection exists exclusively in hues of black, white, and red, building a series of sensual silhouettes from fringing, leather and lace.
