SUR LA PLAGE ENSOLEILLÉE

In the rarefied silence of the Bourse de Commerce, Anthony Vaccarello writes a new grammar of subtraction for Saint Laurent: dry and whispered—almost evanescent—the French fashion house's new Spring Summer 2026 collection cannot be attributed to the nostalgic runway trend, nor does it claim to be a tribute to the maison's founder. Yet every jacket with a defined waist, every elongated shoulder, every leather short seems to discretely evoke the style of a young Monsieur Yves, without ever succumbing to the temptation of citation.

Inspired by Summer 2025’s embrace of buttercream tailoring, romantic transparency, and retro Riviera flair, this editorial merges old-world opulence with a liberated modern gaze. It’s not just a wardrobe, it’s a reclamation. A visual diary of a woman in her becoming: sensual, sovereign, and soulfully styled. She doesn’t simply dress for summer, she arrives in it fully awakened. Every image is a testament to her duality: structured and soft, composed and wild, always unleashed.

Georges Hobeika invites us, through his Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection titled "The New Order," to a moment of suspension—an instant where beauty, like an inner light, triumphs over chaos.

At Paris Haute Couture Week 2025, Iris van Herpen unveiled "Sympoiesis," a groundbreaking collection that transforms the fragile beauty of marine ecosystems into wearable art. For nearly two decades, the Dutch designer has been crafting an extraordinary dialogue between organic life and technological precision, but with this autumn-winter 2025 collection, she ventures into uncharted territory where fashion becomes a living, breathing organism.

Pagājušajā mācību gadā es pievērsos klaunādes terapijai. Un vienā no nodarbībām mums tika piedāvāts uzdevums... burtiski «nedarīt neko». Kā norādīja grupas vadītājs, nav nekā grūtāka par bezdarbību. Klauns iznāk no aizkulisēm, sper pāris soļu un sastingst. Viņš neflirtē ar publiku, nemēģina izraisīt smieklus, neieņem īpašas pozas, nerunā. Viņš apzināti neko nedara, bet vienlaikus paliek šeit un tagad – un savā klusajā klātbūtnē rada unikālu iesaistes un pārdzīvojuma telpu.
