Austin Butler’s Saint Laurent surrealism
Austin Butler fronts Anthony Vaccarello’s new FW26 Saint Laurent campaign, set inside a surreal domestic scene, with a pretty sweet convertible and a dining table and chairs sealed in bubble wrap. Shot by Talia Chetrit, the campaign sees Butler wearing Vaccarello’s latest collection for the house: in one image, tailored suit trousers are paired with a supple leather blazer; in another, he wears a glossy black patent trench over a shirt and tie, finished with sci-fi shades.

First unveiled at the designer’s intimate off-schedule show last year, the accompanying campaign for Martine Rose’s SS26 collection has just dropped.

Balenciaga’s ‘Unsized’ collection
Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Spring 27 collection for Balenciaga is a study in ‘the lightness of being.’ Inspired by the obsessions of Cristóbal Balenciaga and the fundamentals of clothing, silhouettes are lightly structured to analyse the architecture of some of the house’s most infamous shapes. Tactile fabrics form contrasting textures as featherweight techno taffeta or sumptuous double cashmere stand alongside various washes of denim and cocooning leather garments.

Loewe’s signature tomato fragrance is growing its repertoire, as the Home Scents arm of the Spanish house introduces a Body Scrub and Hand Cream.
