Stone Island’s new Denim Research
First reintroduced last year, Stone Island’s Denim Research returns for FW26-27, developed in four new washes: medium and light blue, grey, and black. Starring in the campaign? Why, it’s Skepta and Steven Graham, of course. Friends of the house return to celebrate Stone Island’s artisanal craft, this time kitted out in denim jackets laminated with a highly refractive film or laser-etched with an irregular pattern.

Emma D’Arcy joins Acne Studios’ 30th anniversary campaign
Last month, Acne Studios celebrated its 30th birthday with a campaign shot by the legendary Nan Goldin. It was a who’s who of faces that have brought Johansson’s Acne to life, captured by Goldin in a selection of denim, returning to the brand’s foundational material. This week, the brand unveiled the 10th and final portrait of this series, releasing Goldin’s photographs of British actor Emma D’Arcy.

END. x Samsøe Samsøe
British cultural brand END. and Copenhagen label Samsøe Samsøe have joined forces on a 24-piece collection spanning menswear, womenswear, and unisex staples, marking one of the first collections developed under newly appointed Head of Menswear Liam Hodges, alongside long-standing Head of Womenswear Marly Roosen. Reworking Samsøe Samsøe signatures through contemporary silhouettes, the collaboration explores the idea of a shared wardrobe. The campaign expands this story, showing pieces being exchanged and worn across London and Copenhagen.

“Collaborating with END. gave us the opportunity to look at Samsøe Samsøe’s design language with a new perspective,” said Hodges. “We wanted to create a contemporary collection that felt relevant and focused, bringing both brands’ points of view together in an authentic and exciting way.”

Fred Perry returns to the tennis court
Fred Perry’s tennis heritage is obvious – the British label was founded by a four-time Davis Cup champion, after all. Now, that legacy is returning to the court as Fred Perry becomes the new Global Apparel Partner of the Davis Cup. The multi-year deal will see the brand kit ball kids and officials at the Final 8 from 2026 and all qualifiers from 2027, bringing its iconic Laurel Wreath back to professional tennis ahead of its 75th anniversary in 2027.

Loewe’s new scent is bananas 
Loewe Perfumes ever-growing home scents collection has a new addition: Banoffee. An ode to the nostalgia-fuelled British dessert first created in the early 1970s at The Hungry Monk restaurant in East Sussex, the fragrance is a comforting mix of vibrant botanical notes and warming caramelised sugar.

Jonathan Anderson: curator
In fashion-adjacent news, Jonathan Anderson is holding an exhibition at his Pimlico store during Frieze London.

Moncler’s Re/Icons collection
For the past three years, following Moncler’s 70th-anniversary celebrations, the brand has introduced the Re/Icons project. A chance to explore the brand’s storied history and reintroduce iconic garments to the modern wearer. This year, Moncler revisits four styles from the archive: the Karakorum, Verone, Himalaya, and Tibb. Transforming silhouettes from the first expeditions of the 1950s to the cult styles of the 1980s, a moment which saw the brand transform technical ski wear into an après-ski must-have.

Iittala x Byredo
Renowned glassmaker Iittala and luxury fragrance and lifestyle brand Byredo have joined forces on a special limited-edition glass collaboration rooted in their shared Nordic heritage and craftsmanship. Arriving just in time for the autumn months, the collection is created around the rituals of home, exploring the relationship between form, light and fragrance. Crafted at Iittala’s historic glass factory in Finland, the series of sculptural vessels is designed to complement Byredo’s candles and incense, bringing together glass and scent to create a sense of atmosphere and warmth within the home.

Kiko Kostadinov’s Oakley collab
Debuting at the brand’s FW26 runway show in Paris, Laura and Deanna Fanning’s womenswear Oakley collab marked Kiko Kostadinov’s first partnership with the brand, and then the menswear iteration hit the runway just months later. Laura and Deanna’s design presents a fresh interpretation of the Ellipse frame, arriving in Brown Smoke Wood or Amherst Fade, featuring motifs inspired by natural elements.

On the field/on the road
First introduced in 1949 as a football boot designed for grip on tough surfaces, the adidas Samba has become a footwear icon. Now, Mercedes-Benz gives the silhouette an automotive refinement, with the limited-edition Samba OG x Mercedes-Benz drawing on the diamond stitching of the S-Class interior. Featuring the iconic Mercedes‑Benz logo emblazoned across the tongue, the shoes are cast in four distinctive colourways: Magic Beige, Grey Five and Black tones. The collaboration launches 13th October, marking the start of a wider collaborative launch.

“As Mercedes‑Benz celebrates 140 years of innovation, we are proud to partner with adidas, another brand that has been inspiring generations around the world for decades,” says Christina Schenck, Vice President Digital & Communications and Investor Relations, Mercedes‑Benz AG. “What unites us is a shared passion for iconic design, innovation and creating experiences that people truly connect with.”

Carhartt WIP: See Into The Trees
The next instalment from Carhartt WIP’s FW26 offering turns its focus to the great outdoors, aptly titled See Into The Trees. The brand’s signature camouflage print gets a makeover with ‘camo feather tree’ motifs; outerwear is fashioned in water-repellent nylon, and the colour palette orbits a range of earthy tones, existing in browns, khakis, beiges and grey-blues.

Canada Goose goes further
For Canada Goose’s new FW26 collection, creative director Haider Ackermann explores ideas of endurance – both physically and internally. Pushing the brand’s performance heritage to new levels, the designer introduces leather and footwear for the first time, alongside signature technical fabrications, wool fleece, and faux-fur trims.

“There is a silence and a stillness to the campaign this season,” says Ackermann. “I didn’t want to illustrate endurance. Some things become less powerful when you name them. When you explain it too much, perhaps you lose it. The images evoke a feeling, something almost unspoken.”

Damien Hirst just co-designed a cashmere collection
Legendary British artist Damien Hirst is turning his hand to cashmere, partnering with Barrie, one of the oldest cashmere knitting manufacturers in Scotland.
