A fashion story by Linda Hastrich & Anouk Klijn

During Paris Fashion Week, Ukrainian brand LITKOVSKA presented its SS'26 collection, “(DIS)CONNECTED” — a reflection on the fine line between belonging and detachment, visibility and silence, fragility and strength.

Heralding the arrival of a range of Cartier classics-in-the-making, Jacob Elordi and Sofia Coppola joined forces once again—just two years after spending ages together on the set of Priscilla. The occasion for the reunion? No less than a brand-new take on Cartier's iconic Love collection.

Under the creative direction of Nadège Vanhee, Hermès’ Spring/Summer 2026 collection, “Free Rein,” takes the reins of tradition and gallops confidently into new territory. 

In fashion, skin is not merely skin: it is porcelain. Flesh gives way to myth. Every feature is meticulously sculpted, every strand of hair becomes architecture, every gesture a calculated aesthetic. The human is reduced to its minimum; the ideal, elevated to its maximum.

‘Chanel is about love. The birth of Modernity in fashion comes from a love story. This is what I find most beautiful. It has no time or space; this is an idea of freedom. The freedom worn and won by Gabrielle Chanel.’ Matthieu Blazy
