Ann Demeulemeester in Margate

We’re all Jonathan Anderson
What a way to announce Dior’s new team-up with A24, through a video in which Anderson casts friends of the house – Sabrina Carpenter, Josh O’Connor, Drew Starkey, Camille Cottin and Sophie Wilde – as himself. Each treats the role with the seriousness it deserves, with lots of hands in pockets, nervous back-and-forth walking, and a strong jeans game. The A24 partnership will see Dior work with the cult film company on programming at New York’s iconic Cherry Lane Theater.

Celine’s new Reeboks
In June, Michael Rider debuted a collaboration with Reebok, presenting the Celine/Reebok Freestyle Lo and Celine/Reebok Alldayeveryday Freestyle Lo. Reigniting an archival silhouette from the American athletic giant, the 1982 Reebok Freestyle Lo is given a distinctly Celine makeover: “A shoe that has moved through time, and still moves with us, with you,” reads the release.


Birthday bash

Coach kicked off NYFW with a confetti-covered 85th anniversary show. Sequins were everywhere, alongside leather party hats, wrapped presents and gift bows. What a way to get the party started.


This ain’t our first rodeo
Acne Paper’s latest exhibition spotlights Bruce of Los Angeles’ series, Rodeo, featuring 77 vintage photographs of American cowboys and rodeo riders. Curated by renowned photography critic and curator Vince Aletti, the images were taken by Bruce during his travels to rodeos across Arizona, California, Oregon and Canada, among others, revealing intimate and relaxed portraits of masculinity, photographing the workers and ranchers as they were. These images became a crucial tenet of Bruce’s career as one of the defining artists of physique photography.

 

Loewe Perfumes’ new crafted collection
The next instalment of Loewe’s growing fragrance repertoire has arrived in the form of five new scents: Field Diary, Sweet Woodland, Rosetopia, Smoky Rain, and Verdant Grove. Crafted by the brand’s expert in-house perfumer Nuria Cruelles, each scent has been designed to complement the original lineup of fragrances released last year. Continuing Loewe’s commitment to artisanal excellence, the perfumes are encased in the house’s signature sculptural glass bottles, finished with a granite cap.

Watch Paul Smith at work

Dubbing it his ‘dream factory’, Paul Smith’s Corner Shop takeover is breaking the fourth wall. Part store, part working office, Paul will literally work from the space, offering a rare view of the esteemed British designer’s creative process in action. Elsewhere, the space will be decorated with objects from Smith’s actual office, including his Mario Bellini Cab chairs, prints from his archive runway shows, and – impressively – his own MINI Paul Smith Edition (obviously). On the shelves, a limited edition capsule collection is on sale, inspired by the eclectic interior of Paul’s office.

 

Maison Margiela’s FW26 campaign
Framed as a psychological thriller, Maison Margiela’s FW26 campaign, Anonymity, dissects the doppelganger. Starring English actor and filmmaker Rebecca Hall, she plays an actress confronting her own identity, manoeuvring between imagination and reality while sporting Margiela’s most alluring creations.


All aboard 

Louis Vuitton’s FW26 Flight Mode collection celebrates the art and style of train travel. Less Euston station chaos, more leisurely high-class cabin, the collection captures “the charm of leisurely train journeys and station platforms.” The wardrobe consists of easeful and elegant silhouettes, sophisticated fabrications and artisanal pieces crafted from first-class leather, brushed cashmere and velvet, including flight jackets, blousons and knitwear.

 

Moncler’s NYC flagship
In the midst of NYFW, Moncler has opened the doors to its largest flagship store to date. Located on Fifth Avenue, the two-storey space creates a dialogue between the mountains and the metropolis, taking the principles of Moncler’s alpine legacy to the concrete of Manhattan.

Grit and glam

Aries’ FW26 collection collides early-00s luxury with derelict Baroque interiors and the residue of excess. A time-warp trip, textures are sun-faded, well-worn and distressed, while distorted and tactile animal prints bring a renaissance quality to the wardrobe alongside punk-inspired graphics and a new collaboration with Alpha Industries, reworking the classic CWU-45 Heritage bomber with studded hardware.

Amiri’s Biscotto bag
Debuted on the runway at Amiri’s SS27 PFW show in June, the brand’s new Biscotto bag is the newest addition to its growing accessories repertoire. Arriving in ‘Big’ or ‘Baby’ sizes, the bag is crafted from fine suede or pebble leather, made in Italy as a reflection of the craftsmanship that lies at the centre of Mike Amiri’s designs.

 

Samsøe Samsøe FW26 campaign
Captured inside London’s Drill Hall, the Victorian space is transformed into a minimalist haven for Samsøe Samsøe’s FW26 campaign. Spotlighting the Danish brand’s latest offering, London-based photographer Alice Neale shoots relaxed portraits of models sporting delicate cashmere knits, sumptuous leather trousers and autumnal outerwear.

 

Air Jordan 4 LDN
Air Jordan’s new 4 LDN silhouette marks the first AJ4 created exclusively for the city. To celebrate the launch, a selection of London creatives, including the likes of prolific graffiti artist Fatzoo and DJ and producer Keyrah, have been photographed by Tom Schwimmbeck in their working lives.

 

Jamie Campbell Bower for Napapijri
For FW26, Napapijri have enlisted Jamie Campbell Bower as the star of its latest campaign. Titled WhereNext?, the collection focuses on the intrinsic connection between people and places, unravelling the experiences that leave a lasting mark on who we become.
