In Paris, Tom Ford presented its new collection as part of Fashion Week, offering a more restrained yet equally provocative take on the house’s signature aesthetic of unapologetic sensuality.

Rather than relying on obvious seduction, Haider Ackermann, the house’s designer, focused on bare skin, plunging necklines, sheer fabrics, leather and dramatic silhouettes, leaving plenty of room for the imagination. The runway brought together Tom Ford’s signature sensuality, Ackermann’s distinctive sense of decadence and an underlying sense of danger that became one of the defining moods of the show.

In his notes accompanying the collection, the designer explained that he wanted to move beyond Tom Ford’s familiar image of the seductive woman. His aim was to «move closer to danger» and explore another side of nudity.

«There is something deeply sexual about a body that reveals itself but does not offer itself», Ackermann said.

That idea became one of the central themes of the show. The presentation took place in a dark, mirrored space, where models walked in looks that balanced on the line between revealing and refined.

The runway featured plunging swimsuits, silk and leather robes, jackets worn against bare skin, sheer skirts, structured bustiers, tops made from neckties and provocative bodysuits. One of the most striking looks featured a bodysuit completely covered in rhinestones and finished with intricate draping.

The swimsuits, in particular, evoked the aesthetic of Helmut Newton’s photography from the 1990s — with the characteristic combination of strength, eroticism and cinematic drama found throughout his work.

Ackermann also retained one of his favorite signatures — a rich, saturated color palette. Classic black and white were joined by deep shades of red, green and blue, along with olive and pale blue. Rich reds stood out in particular, recalling the shades of Tom Ford lipsticks.

Another highlight was a series of long maxi skirts with trains, as well as red dresses featuring extreme cutouts, adding an extra layer of theatricality to the collection.

The menswear continued the same interplay between nudity and classic tailoring. Mini shorts were paired with sweaters, while two-piece suits either left the torso exposed or featured a tailored jacket worn with a mesh tank top.

Among the star guests at the show were Shakira, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson, Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne and Cynthia Erivo.

Gucci presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Milan Fashion Week. Titled «The Store Show», the presentation genuinely transformed the venue into a kind of Gucci store: the models appeared to walk in as if straight from the street, while life continued unfolding in the background — people moved through the space, scenes constantly shifted, creating the feeling that the audience had stepped into a real urban environment.

For Demna Gvasalia, it was a particularly significant show. The Creative Director described the new collection as the first in which he presented «his completely own vision of the brand». At the heart of his Gucci is a meeting of completely different people, generations and styles.

The designer successfully translated this idea onto the runway. Aristocratic elegance appeared alongside pop culture, sporty influences and bold kitsch.

The defining mood of the collection was jockey chic, complemented by preppy elements. The theme carries particular significance for Gucci — the house has a long-standing connection to equestrian sport. As a result, female jockey-inspired looks appeared on the runway, becoming one of the most noticeable references to the fashion house’s heritage.

The menswear line partly took the audience back to the Tom Ford era of Gucci. Demna presented slim-fitting leather jackets, low-rise jeans and shirts with turned-back collars, left open at the neck.

For younger customers, the designer proposed bomber jackets and zip-up styles.

The womenswear proved even more diverse. Demna seemed to divide the collection among different types of customers, almost creating a distinct version of Gucci for each of them.

For younger shoppers, there were sexy leather minis. For an older audience, Demna offered bomber jackets, fitted shirts paired with boyfriend jeans and turned-up cuffs, voluminous fur coats and striking maxi dresses with dramatic cut-outs.

At the same time, the collection refused to be confined to a single aesthetic. The runway featured checked skirts with a Vivienne Westwood mood, alongside fitted blazers reminiscent of Celine’s aesthetic.

Among the season’s key details were wide belts worn low on the hips.

At Milan Fashion Week, MM6 Maison Margiela presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, which quite literally invites us to look at the familiar wardrobe from a different perspective. Almost nothing remains where it traditionally belongs: garments change their purpose, proportions and the way they are worn.

The brand reimagined everyday wardrobe staples by shifting their proportions. Shirts became short dresses with slender straps, with collars repositioned across the chest. Trousers were transformed into sundresses, their unfastened waistbands sitting above the bra. Sweaters and T-shirts, meanwhile, unexpectedly became skirts, with their sleeves left hanging loosely.

The same deliberately undone aesthetic continued through the collection’s details. Shirt collars appeared in unexpected places, while dress hems folded outward, revealing the lingerie underneath.

The collection featured plenty of crumpled textures, distressed denim and trousers gathered loosely around the knees. At the same time, relaxed pieces were paired with sharply tailored blazers and trench coats.

The designers also proposed new ways of wearing pieces that usually leave little room for experimentation. Shirts appeared directly over bare skin. Dresses were left unbuttoned to reveal the bra, while sweaters were worn with just a single sleeve.

For the finale, dresses with deep necklines and soft draping revealed the bras underneath. This interplay between concealment and exposure became one of the collection’s defining design gestures.

As part of Milan Fashion Week, Fendi presented its Spring/Summer 2027 womenswear collection. For Maria Grazia Chiuri, it marks her second Ready-to-Wear collection since her high-profile return to the Italian fashion house.

The designer dedicated the new show to the themes of the body, intimacy and freedom of self-expression. The collection was inspired by the poetry of American writer E. E. Cummings. A line from his poem «i like my body when it is with your» became the leitmotif of the show.

Chiuri explored sensuality through human intimacy, beginning with the most intimate layer of clothing — lingerie. The designer reinterpreted the language of lingerie by combining it with the precise tailoring of the Italian fashion house. The runway featured exposed bras, silk slips and short lace-trimmed shorts paired with wide-leg trousers, blazers and coats.

Overall, the collection was bold and unapologetically sensual. Sheer fabrics, delicate cut-outs and slits emphasized the silhouette, while feathered accessories added a theatrical touch to the looks. Alongside these light and sensual pieces, structured tailoring created a striking contrast between sharply defined suits and almost weightless fabrics.

Mirrors were another key element of the show. Models walked along a mirrored runway that literally multiplied each look and transformed its appearance depending on the viewing angle. In this way, the set design extended the collection’s central theme — the body as something we see not only through our own eyes, but also through the gaze of another person.

Another major musical and cultural reference for the collection was Italian singer Raffaella Carrà. Chiuri drew inspiration from her freedom, energy and confident attitude toward her own body.

Ultimately, Maria Grazia Chiuri presented femininity not as something static, but as the freedom to move, connect with others and experience one’s own body from different perspectives.

Carolina Herrera has unveiled its anniversary SS’27 collection, celebrating the history of the fashion house and its signature 1980s aesthetic.

The show, held to mark the American fashion house’s 45th anniversary, took place at the David Koch Theater, where the runway was surrounded by 28,798 yellow tulips.

Creative director Wes Gordon decided to return to the brand’s roots — its very first Carolina Herrera show, held in 1981. Among the key elements from that debut collection, Gordon revisited ruffles and polka dots, giving them a contemporary interpretation.

One of the collection’s most striking pieces was a dress featuring an iconic portrait of Carolina Herrera herself. The image was created by legendary American artist Andy Warhol.

The designer also drew another historical connection through a collaboration with the American magazine «The New Yorker». Together with the publication, Carolina Herrera created a white organza T-shirt and a yellow dress embellished with beads, inspired by the cover of an issue released during the week of the brand’s first show in 1981.

Gordon also tucked in some less obvious, yet deeply personal references. Gold frog-shaped brooches paid tribute to La Grenouille — the designer’s favorite restaurant.

Karlie Kloss presented the final look. The model walked the runway in an airy black ensemble featuring dramatic ruffles around the neckline.

The anniversary show also attracted a host of high-profile guests. Pamela Anderson and writer Fran Lebowitz were among those seated together in the front row.

The Michael Kors Collection SS’27 was presented at one of New York’s most striking locations — the Sculpture Garden of the Museum of Modern Art, MoMA. Instead of a traditional show venue, the designer chose an open setting surrounded by art, building the collection around modernism, architecture and urban life.

This time, Michael Kors moved away from his signature voluminous dresses and focused instead on architectural lines and graphic silhouettes. The familiar oversize aesthetic was almost entirely absent, replaced by fitted miniskirt suits, slim coats, straight-leg trousers and pared-back ensembles.

The spirit of the 1960s was also unmistakable. Some looks were completed with oversized round-frame glasses and short suits inspired by the Mod style.

But the true star of the collection was the stripe. It appeared virtually everywhere — on T-shirts and dresses, bags and hats, and at times transformed into intricate geometric compositions.

Kors drew inspiration for the idea from the work of artist Carmen Herrera. The graphic print looked particularly striking against black and white, which served as a kind of canvas for vivid pops of color.

The colors were impossible to miss. The collection featured shades of amber, tomato red, sunny yellow, coral and pistachio green.

«In big cities, people often wear black, so I try to find ways to bring color into the urban wardrobe. I like to simply add it and create a bright accent», Kors explained.

At the same time, the designer did not sacrifice practicality. Cropped sweaters and shirts were paired with miniskirts or, conversely, elongated shorts. Key details included oversized geometric jewelry, bags with metal handles, crepe dresses with cut-outs, voluminous Baroque-inspired skirts, and embellishments made of sequins and chiffon.

Christian Siriano presented his Spring/Summer 2027 collection at New York Fashion Week, transforming the runway into a true fairytale. The designer drew inspiration from the 18th-century French folktale «The Story of the Queen of the Flower Islands» from Andrew Lang’s collection.

The tale itself contains plenty of dark moments: a mother hides her beautiful daughter at home in an attempt to save her from a queen who wants to have the girl executed because of her beauty. It was precisely this contrast between the dark story and its fairytale ending that captivated Siriano.

«The fairytale itself is quite dark, but it ends in a soft, dreamlike world that is immersed in flowers», the designer explained. According to Siriano, this duality allowed him to explore two sides of his own personality — the «dark and the sweet».

The transformation was easy to see on the runway. The show opened with understated looks in deep, dark shades and a Gothic mood, gradually becoming lighter and more vibrant. The dark palette gave way to fuchsia, gold, floral prints and sculptural geometric shapes reminiscent of flower buds just beginning to bloom.

Christian Siriano’s signature sense of drama was highlighted by evening gowns featuring an abundance of ruffles, voluminous details and intricate textures. At the same time, the designer went beyond womenswear — the collection also featured menswear looks that retained the brand’s distinctive couture glamour.

Supermodel Coco Rocha was the star of the show. Among those spotted in the front row were Whoopi Goldberg, Brandy Norwood and other celebrities.

Ahead of New York Fashion Week, Ralph Lauren presented his women’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection. The show took place at the Jack Shainman Gallery in Manhattan.

This season, the designer explored the theme of romance, reinterpreting it through a combination of menswear-inspired tailoring, relaxed silhouettes and feminine evening looks. Ralph Lauren once again drew on elements of the traditional menswear wardrobe: the runway featured suits, wide-leg trousers, shirts, structured blazers and wide ties. At the same time, the designer paired the sharp silhouettes with corset details, fitted shapes and accents that emphasized femininity.

The contrast was also evident in the interplay of textures. Classic tailoring was juxtaposed with distressed denim, while denim jackets were embellished with feathers. The collection included white suits, voluminous trousers, navy coats and relaxed ensembles. Particular attention was drawn to hand-finished pieces in silk and velvet, as well as textured fabrics with an ombré effect.

The eveningwear portion of the collection revealed another side of the Ralph Lauren aesthetic. The runway featured long draped dresses, as well as designs adorned with micro-sequins, fringe and plunging necklines. One of the most striking looks paired a gold fringed dress with navy trousers, continuing the interplay between masculine and feminine elements.

Ralph Lauren himself described the new collection as «an ironic take on romance» that creates a new sense of elegance. At the heart of his approach are individuality, originality and the freedom to create one’s own style.

The Ralph Lauren womenswear line has traditionally been closely associated with Ricky Lauren — the designer’s wife and longtime muse. She was among the guests at the show. The presentation concluded with the appearance of 86-year-old Ralph Lauren himself, who received a standing ovation from the audience. Ricky later joined him on the runway.
