This season follows suit with Academy-Award winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins stepping behind the lens for the brand’s FW26 campaign. Described as an “antidote to the complexity of life,” Jenkins distils the ease of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ FW26 collections by inviting the viewer into domestic intimacy and normalcy, reframing garments from the runway to everyday living.

Speaking on the appointment, Hawke said: “I’ve always believed that who we become is shaped by what we practice every day. Confidence grows through curiosity, preparation and experience. What I recognised in Canali is that same quiet commitment—the patience, care and dedication to doing things well, day after day. It’s an aspirational philosophy that resonates deeply with me.”
