Form & Essence

Beauty Story by Photographer Sofia Brunet

Tracing the history of CHANEL Haute Couture from the early twentieth century to today, this book features fashion photography, previously unseen sketches, runway show images, as well as behind-the-scenes documents and archival material. Edited by Sofia Coppola in collaboration with the House and Éditions 7L.

Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess associated with love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion, procreation has always been an inspiration and a guidance reference when photographing women. Her heavenly figure is a symbolism of the delightful existence of womankind. 

London Fashion Week remains the main launch pad for young designers and the most unpredictable of the “big four.” While Paris and Milan stick to traditional venues, London turns Masonic temples, historic fortresses, and churches into catwalks. It is this spirit of rebellion and willingness to experiment that makes the British capital unique on the global fashion map.

Tailoring is back as the season's undisputed star. While down jackets and puffer jackets dominated the runways last season, for the Fall/Winter 2025-26 season, tailored coats take a center stage in women's fashion.

One of the most sophisticated and moving recent trends in travel and leisure is associated with the so-called luxury nomads. People choose destinations that have been transformed from degraded or endangered areas into eco-paradise-like resorts. When you arrive there, you realize that part of your payment will be used to preserve endangered species and restore the environment. This is a new standard of luxury with great potential, because it offers something special – it not only allows you to enjoy and blend in with nature, but also encourages you to become more sensitive and benevolent.

Classic black, shimmering sequins, and impeccable silhouettes. An ode to the iconic fashion editorials and supermodel era of the ’90s. A celebration of timeless glamour in every look.

Styled and art directed by Diego Alvarenga and starring Mariella Sarto, the editorial “Body of Water” unveils a visual narrative that explores femininity through transformation, strength, and mystery. Inspired by the nature of water — its adaptability, its silent force, and its power to erode and renew — the story translates, through form and texture, the complexity of a woman who exists between structure and flow.
