Hotel hotspots: The Hoxton in Paris

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. 

This is a Man’s World

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.

В прошедшем учебном году я занималась клоунадой. На одном занятии в качестве задания нам было предложено... буквально «ничего не делать». Как заметил ведущий группы, нет ничего сложнее бездействия. Клоун выходит из-за кулис, делает пару шагов и замирает. Он не заигрывает с залом, не пытается вызвать смех, не принимает особые позы, не произносит слов. Он ничего не делает намеренно, но при этом остаётся здесь и сейчас — и в своём молчаливом присутствии он создаёт уникальное пространство вовлечённости и проживания.
