Sarah Burton’s third collection for Givenchy, presented at Paris Fashion Week, puts women and their relationship with clothing firmly in focus. For spring/summer 2027, she imagines a wardrobe for lives that rarely stand still. Precise in its construction, simple in purpose, and ready to adapt as moods and activities change.

Burton described her vision as “a wardrobe to bring precision and simplicity to dressing as we speed through the multiple perspectives and perpetual motion of all our lives.” There’s a sense of disorder behind the collection, but also a desire to cut through it. Clothes should move with the body, not hold it back. A simple idea, perhaps, but one that shapes the show.

Forget the tight, body-conscious silhouettes that have long defined one version of feminine dressing. Burton goes for volume, sculptural shapes and deconstructed tailoring. High-leg leather skirts, supersized peplums with sheer frills, kimono-style robes thrown over slips. The proportions are bold, occasionally theatrical, yet still intended to be worn.

The tailoring borrows from menswear, then shifts the rules. Sleeves overlap, shoulders relax, panels fall out of place and asymmetry interrupts familiar lines. There’s structure here, but little stiffness. The clothes are designed to move.

Burton’s starting point is a world that feels precarious, full of noise and competing demands. Her answer lies in the cut: engineered shapes and considered construction, with the physical experience of wearing a garment taking precedence over visual spectacle. How does it feel? How does it move? Can a woman make it her own?

The casting supports that idea. Models of different ages and body types bring a range of attitudes to the runway, while the clothes move easily between polished daytime tailoring and more sculptural, embellished evening looks. The wardrobe doesn’t insist on a single version of femininity.

Red, yellow, green, cobalt blue and baby pink cut through a palette grounded in black, white and neutrals. The brighter shades bring energy and a welcome sense of play. They don’t drown out the tailoring; they give it another dimension.

The material choices are just as varied. Burton works with supple leather, fine jersey, lightweight pleated fabrics, brass and metal wires, embroidery and hand-finished details. Leather is a particular strength. Treated almost like cloth, it moves and drapes in unexpected ways, appearing in everything from armour-like trench coats to soft, draped dresses.

Construction does much of the work. Sliced sleeves, trouser creases that swing outward and draped panels alter the way garments sit on the body. Suspended elements add lightness. Leather folds and collapses rather than holding a rigid shape, while fringe, pom-pom-inspired embellishments and flowing pleats give both daywear and evening looks a sense of rhythm.

The Isabel Marant Summer 2027 collection began in Los Angeles, where Creative Director Kim Bekker came across photographer Sam Haskins’s images of women from the 1960s. Dressed or undressed, they appeared through layer upon layer of hazy light, yet their strength and sensuality remained unmistakable. That contrast became the starting point for Summer 2027: airy, light dressing anchored by clear, confident shapes.

The beauty of the handmade

Every look is elevated through artisanal techniques. Vintage-like embroideries are scattered with rhinestones, beads gently weigh down fragile silk, and fabrics carry the love-worn patina of life. Yet the collection never loses its strong, graphic sensibility.

For Summer 2027, the adorned meets the unadorned. Tees and board shorts appear in delicate lace and antique tablecloth linen. Bold, round-shouldered blazers in white or black cotton are sculpted over swimsuits pinned with brooches, macramé knit tubular skirts and shorts dusted with sequins. Macramé returns in a slinky backless dress, while capri pants are paired with a voluminous, paper-thin black leather blouson.

Layered, light and effortless

Clothes are assembled in a fresh way, with layering central to both how pieces are worn and how they are constructed. A leather halter top or draped chiffon vest slips over loose shirts. Short, floaty dresses come in layers of hand-drawn, sun-faded floral and paisley prints, partly inspired by Isabel Marant Summer 2013, and move with the air.

For day, the mood of 1930s lingerie appears in translucent shades of pink, green and coral. By evening, it shifts into something casual and effortless: smoke grey and black, a slip dress dotted with silvery flowers, or a gold-embroidered jacket with a bias-cut skirt. Each slides onto the body with the ease of a T-shirt.

Treasures with a sense of wanderlust

The accessories feel like treasures, but never overly precious. High basketweave ankle boots meet slouchy plaited shoulder bags, while beaded low-cut boots offer a glimpse of cleavage. Sparkly sandals come with matching anklets, and a new embellished bucket bag hangs from woven thong straps.

Jewellery carries that irresistible Isabel Marant sense of wanderlust. Chandelier earrings and necklaces made from shells or seed-like beads evoke the heat of summer, completing a collection built around the meeting of softness, adornment and clear, graphic form.

A step, a turn, an escape. Échappée belle: a beautiful escape. But échappée is also a movement in dance, a moment when the feet open from a closed position, releasing the body into space. It is in this space between movement and escape that the Alberta Ferretti Spring/Summer 2027 collection takes shape, designed by Lorenzo Serafini.

It is a journey into a real fantasy, where imagination does not offer a way out of reality but a more instinctive way of inhabiting it. A world suspended between dream and the tangible, touched by a distant sense of exoticism, by the freedom of another time, by the languid elegance of those who seem to move through life according to their own rhythm.

Summer is already a memory here. Not quite gone, but impossible to hold onto. It lingers on the skin, in saturated colors faded by the sun, in fabrics that seem to carry the trace of long, unhurried days. A floral print dissolves almost into liquid, flowing over a mercurial fabric that slips through the hands. Like summer itself, it cannot be held. It can only be lived, leaving behind the sweet nostalgia of days that felt endless.

Blue, teal, rust and mustard yellow have the intensity of colors seen under a relentless sun. Ivory and black ground the palette, while lilac, pistachio and powder pink surface like softer recollections.

There is an echo of the 1920s of Léon Bakst and George Balanchine’s radical idea of freedom: the body released from constraint, clothes conceived around movement rather than restriction. Prints are mixed instinctively, almost turbulently, evoking Matisse’s celebrated compositions. What once belonged to the intimacy of the interior steps outside.

Slip dresses, lingerie details and kimono jackets meet balloon trousers and fluid layers, blurring the distinction between dressing and undressing, private and public. Sensuality comes without effort and becomes an expression of freedom.

Perhaps this is the Alberta Ferretti woman’s échappée belle: not an escape from reality, but the freedom to move between the world as it is and the world as she imagines it.

The skirt as an object. For the Prada Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons focus on the analysis of this single, universal garment through protean variations.

Designed for freedom, at once autonomous and interdependent with the clothes around it, the skirt is a true obsession for Prada. Its defined, linear and modernist graphic silhouette offers the only fixed parameter for the projection of ideas. The collection chooses to concentrate on the formal language of this specific skirt: an exercise in exploration within strict parameters, the frame for creation without limits.

Purpose and use form an aesthetic language of their own at Prada. Velcro in contrasting colours can serve as a base for crystal embroidery without losing its intrinsic function as a fastening element, allowing the skirts to adapt, mould themselves, change shape and alter their visual effect as the decorations are revealed or concealed. Large metal press studs are embellished with jewels, while the inner crinoline component becomes a decorative layer or a protective shell.

Materials directly transform perception, challenging and overturning an established formal language. Industrial fabrics – matte ciré, Re-Nylon – are illogically rendered in pleats, while cotton is treated to resemble leather or suede. Jewel skirts recreate crystal guipure lace, while simple, innocent floral prints appear on cotton and synthetic fabrics. A pleated skirt extends beyond the body, the loose fabric held in the hand, redefining the gesture. The layers evoke a dynamic of revelation.

Likewise, our perception of a garment can change through the contrast it creates with others. A skirt can become an abstract element, a fragment of a whole, establishing a shifting relationship with the garments it is paired with: a sweater, a shirt, a bra top can suggest alternative readings of the ensemble.

Here, intrinsic beauty lies in observing what is familiar, in asking how many forms a known thing can take, how many different possibilities it contains within itself.

With Spring Summer 2027, In Praise of Bamboo Shadows, IM MEN transforms the quiet beauty of bamboo shadows into a collection where light, movement and layered silhouettes take centre stage. Presented on June 25, 2026, at Césure, a cultural venue in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, the collection explores how fleeting shadows, transparency and texture can be translated into clothing.

The collection draws its inspiration from East Asian decorative arts featuring bamboo motifs, discovered during a visit to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Mist-covered bamboo forests depicted in ink wash paintings and the intricate patterns created through the paper stencils used in katazome kimono dyeing become the foundation of a collection that transforms their enigmatic atmosphere and quiet elegance into a contemporary expression.

The show’s scenography reflects the same vision. An imaginary landscape of black bamboo and shadows, layered with translucent veils and blurred figures, creates an ever-changing setting where depth and movement unfold throughout the presentation. This sense of layering and fluidity is echoed in the garments themselves.

Throughout the collection, IM MEN combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with innovative materials. Prints inspired by bamboo shadows are created using the ironaki dyeing technique on fabrics woven from bamboo fibres and organic cotton, while lightweight nylon, hand-dyed denim, three-dimensional jacquards and hand-pleated textiles reinterpret the structure, rhythm and natural forms of bamboo. The silhouettes range from generous, enveloping volumes to softly draped shapes, highlighting movement, depth and lightness.

Accessories continue the story. The CHIMAKI LEATHER BAG takes its inspiration from the traditional chimaki wrapped in bamboo leaves, while SORTIE VEILED, developed as part of the ISSEY MIYAKE FOOT project in collaboration with ASICS, encloses the shoe’s structural elements beneath a single continuous layer of fabric. The result preserves the comfort and freedom of movement of a sneaker while integrating naturally into everyday life.

With In Praise of Bamboo Shadows, IM MEN demonstrates how a fleeting natural phenomenon can become a complete design vision. Shadow, texture and movement come together in a collection that blends traditional inspiration with contemporary construction, creating an understated elegance that feels constantly in motion.

Everything begins in Sicily. It remains a constant presence in the creative imagination of Dolce&Gabbana, shaped over time by the island’s light, culture, contrasts and extraordinary artisanal heritage.

For thousands of years, this land at the centre of the Mediterranean has been crossed, desired and conquered by different peoples and cultures. Each has left traces of its own identity, helping to create the rich mosaic of influences that defines Sicily today. Even now, the island continues to welcome new travellers to its ancient shores.

For Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Sicily is far more than a destination or a passing fascination. It is a place of origin where everyone is welcome. For Spring/Summer 2027, that connection finds a new expression in Sicilian Holidays, a collection in which the island becomes both the point of departure and the creative horizon.

A journey through Sicily’s many identities

The collection unfolds through Sicily’s many faces, from vibrant cities to remote villages, from ancient Greek temples to the Baroque architecture of the Val di Noto, from the mosaics of Monreale to the amphitheatre of Taormina.

Between sea and stone, light and shadow, a distinctly Sicilian elegance emerges. It is poised between discipline and spontaneity, expressing the character of a place shaped by history, craftsmanship and enduring beauty.

Soft tailoring with an artisanal spirit

This vision takes shape through a fluid and lightweight wardrobe created to follow the body’s natural movement. Tailoring becomes softer and more deconstructed, while silhouettes open up into relaxed, airy proportions. Materials and craftsmanship reinforce an authentically artisanal sensibility throughout the collection.

The runway traces every nuance of Sicilian identity. It opens with the iconic Sicily black, a statement of identity, intensity and refined attention to detail, where tailoring takes centre stage.

From there, the collection accompanies the journey of a man discovering the island through a wardrobe that blends the spirit of holidays and leisure with colours, decorations and inspirations deeply rooted in the local landscape. The presentation concludes with luminous total white looks that feel light and effortless.

The colour palette recalls Sicily itself, moving through shades of sand and limestone, sea-inspired blues, turquoise, pistachio green and tones that evoke traditional Sicilian granita.

A wardrobe inspired by Mediterranean summers

Lightweight cottons, knitwear and woven suede bring texture and ease to the collection. Polo shirts, jackets and even classic shirts are reinterpreted through the language of knitwear, offering familiar pieces with a fresh perspective.

Silk swimwear, crochet craftsmanship, chevron-striped knits and tailored linen jackets draw inspiration from the travellers who discovered Sicily during the 1950s and the early 1960s. Postcard prints and lemon motifs enrich the collection with vivid memories and unmistakable references to the island.

Sicilian holidays as a summer wardrobe

Sicilian Holidays presents a summer wardrobe shaped by craftsmanship, lightness and the sensuality that belongs to the most authentic soul of Sicily. Through this collection, Dolce&Gabbana celebrates the island as both its enduring inspiration and the setting for a contemporary vision of menswear.

The night belongs to those willing to surrender to fantasy. In the world of ELIE SAAB Haute Couture AW27, mysterious figures emerge from the shadows, their masked faces catching the glow of lamplight before slipping quietly back into darkness. Every glittering turn reveals another astonishing transformation, as reality loosens its grip and imagination takes centre stage.

This is a collection built around the allure of metamorphosis. Bold spirits and brilliant personalities gather beneath an enchanted sky, embracing their most theatrical dreams in a setting where nothing remains fixed for long. Every silhouette, every fabric, every detail carries the promise of becoming something unexpected.

The magic begins with couture that seems to defy its own materiality. A sheer sweep of opaline organza, scattered with pearls, evokes the drifting softness of a Magritte cloud, suspended between dream and sky. Elsewhere, a sensuous fishtail silhouette in vibrant magenta silk unfurls like a Dali rose, turning the body itself into a work of surrealist art. These are garments that move beyond decoration, inviting the imagination to see something entirely new with every glance.

Colour itself refuses to stand still. As each look catches the light, mercurial tones shift almost imperceptibly. Lilac melts into silver, while deep blue softens into blush, creating a wardrobe that appears to change with every movement. The effect is both elusive and captivating, lending the collection an air of constant transformation that echoes the dreamlike atmosphere surrounding it.

That sense of fluidity extends into the construction of the garments. Fabrics are draped, twisted and sculpted into organic forms, allowing couture to take on a life of its own. The collection’s muses become calla lilies, twilit skies and midnight swans, their silhouettes shaped by nature and imagination in equal measure. Each look suggests a different identity waiting just beneath the surface, ready to emerge as the evening unfolds.

Freed from the certainties of daylight, the collection celebrates hidden dimensions of personality. Within this enchanted setting, every guest is invited to embrace the many versions of themselves that exist beyond the ordinary. The silhouettes move effortlessly between softness and authority, offering a wardrobe that is as ethereal as it is commanding.

Flowing goddess gowns in delicate pastel shades embody the timeless elegance that has become synonymous with ELIE SAAB. Their graceful movement contrasts with the dramatic presence of wine-red velvet ballgowns and sculptural black winged columns, each expressing a fierce and unmistakable strength. Together, they create a dialogue between delicacy and power without ever sacrificing refinement.

Powerful femininity runs through every chapter of the collection. Embellished corsets define the body with confidence, while dramatic trains extend each silhouette into sweeping gestures of theatrical elegance. Alongside them, sharply tailored tuxedos designed for both women and men reinforce the collection’s liminal spirit, blurring familiar distinctions while embracing the freedom found between convention and fantasy.

Accessories become essential players in this extraordinary spectacle. Intricately sculpted headpieces rise like wearable sculptures, while otherworldly masks conceal and reveal in equal measure. Paired with complementary looks, they transform each wearer into a living work of art, completing the illusion that couture has stepped beyond the runway and into an enchanted masquerade.

As the evening reaches its most dazzling moment, the bride appears. Her entrance brings the dream to its luminous conclusion. A bodice shaped in a curve of molten iridescence catches every flicker of light, while shimmering skirts layered in champagne, crystal and pale gold seem almost weightless as they move. She radiates mystery as much as brilliance, embodying the collection’s fascination with beauty that cannot be fully explained.

ELIE SAAB Haute Couture AW27 unfolds like a sequence of breathtaking illusions, each look dissolving seamlessly into the next. Throughout the collection, enigmatic glamour reigns, and couture exists in the captivating space where reality and fantasy become impossible to separate. It is an invitation to enter a world where dreams remain untamed, transformation never ends, and elegance reveals its most mysterious form.

Fashion has always been a powerful storyteller, but for Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture collection, the narrative takes centre stage. Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the House presents a collection that blurs the line between imagination and everyday life, inviting garments to speak with the same quiet magic as the stories that inspired them.

The starting point is both intimate and deeply personal. Blazy reflects on a small volume discovered in Gabrielle Chanel’s library, Les Fées, Contes des Contes, and imagines what might happen if the savoir-faire of the Haute Couture ateliers could create clothing that unfolds like the pages of a fairy tale. That idea becomes the heart of the collection, where each look carries its own story while remaining firmly connected to the lives of the women who wear it.

Throughout the collection, familiar fairy tales provide moments of inspiration. References to Jack and the Beanstalk and Goldilocks and the Three Bears appear not as literal costumes but as subtle details woven into exceptional craftsmanship. Fantasy and practicality exist side by side, allowing the dreamlike and the wearable to coexist with effortless ease.

At the core of every silhouette is the remarkable expertise of Chanel’s Haute Couture ateliers. The precision of the tailleur, the fluidity of the flou and the meticulous work of the galon atelier come together with the craftsmanship of the artisans at le19M, whose skills span fabric-making, embroidery, pleating, hat-making, goldsmithing and shoemaking. Traditional techniques and fresh perspectives meet naturally, creating garments that honour the House’s heritage while embracing new ways of thinking and making.

The opening look immediately introduces this dialogue between reality and fantasy. A Chanel suit crafted in guipure recalls the image of magical beans, while layers of delicate silk mousseline bring a sense of lightness and transparency. The model carries a copy of Les Fées, Contes des Contes, linking Gabrielle Chanel’s personal library directly to the collection’s creative world.

Storytelling continues through carefully imagined details. A vine appears to climb the heel of a shoe. A minaudière takes the form of a sleeping bear. Buttons seem to evolve from duckling to swan. Yet some of the most meaningful elements remain hidden from view. Painted silk linings become private pleasures, while the interior of a garment can feel almost like an intimate conversation between the piece and its wearer. Haute Couture reveals itself not only on the outside but also in the quiet relationship between the maker, the garment and the body.

The inside of each creation becomes a place where memories and everyday objects are gathered. Notes, charms and treasured keepsakes are tucked into pockets, stitched into linings or suspended from Chanel’s signature weighting chain. Inspired by the collecting instincts of the magpie, these personal objects gradually find their way into the visible design. Through embroidery, layering, appliqué and intricate weaving, ordinary items are elevated alongside precious materials, bringing the spirit of make-do-and-mend into the refined world of Haute Couture.

The setting reflects the same sense of enchanted storytelling. Within the Chanel salon, poisonous vines and toxic flowers create a dramatic landscape where different histories intertwine. Against this backdrop, the collection explores Gabrielle Chanel’s distinctive approach to construction. Precise tailoring and fluid dressmaking work together as garments are cut and opened to release movement, allowing the body to move freely. These are clothes designed to be lived in, not simply admired.

There is also room for deliberate imperfection. Rather than hiding irregularity, the collection welcomes it as part of its character, adding another layer to Chanel’s continuing Haute Couture story. The result is a collection where craftsmanship, imagination and everyday life exist in constant conversation.

As Matthieu Blazy suggests, Chanel Haute Couture is more than a fairy tale. It is ultimately created for women, their realities and the countless adventures that shape their everyday lives.

Precision, focus and responsiveness define the Prada Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons. Built around the idea of choice and conscious decision-making, the collection directs its attention towards distillation rather than simplification, seeking what is essential, intentional and meaningful.

A new perspective on universal garments

Clothing, presented as a universal and enduring part of everyday life, is reconsidered through a different perspective. Rematerialisation and repetition have the power to radically reclassify familiar garment categories, changing the way they are perceived, reshaping their systems of value and, in turn, revealing their latent meanings.

The silhouette is precise and highly controlled, refined, linear and consistent throughout the collection.

Reconsidering the everyday wardrobe

Within this context, the specific language of garments such as jeans, denim jackets and T-shirts, defined by their pragmatic simplicity, is completely reassessed. Free from unnecessary details and exaggeration, the collection presents itself as a foundation for endless possibilities and reinterpretations.

Accessories are reduced to their essential form so they become part of a unified whole, integrating naturally into the overall structure. At the same time, archetypal models of clothing are reworked and reconsidered. Designed to endure over time, these garments resist simple classification according to either function or era.

Clarity through rejection

Rejection can be a deliberate act, an antidote to complexity and a means of definition, becoming a genuine exercise in clarity. Here, the idea of something new is understood as rupture, expressed through a recalibration of perception and an altered encounter with something already latent.

Focus, therefore, is not treated as simplification but as an intensification of attention, a deliberate act of concentration. In this collection, fashion emerges from precise instincts, authorship and conviction.

For Dior Men Spring/Summer 2027, Jonathan Anderson presented his most complete expression of the world he has been building at the house: one where aristocratic refinement and the energy of youth culture meet somewhere between the end of a party and the start of a new day.

The collection unfolded as a study in contrasts. Decorative arts inspired by the eighteenth century and historical tailoring, both closely tied to Christian Dior’s own fascinations and the setting of the Musée Nissim de Camondo, collided with references to rave culture, late-night dressing and the spontaneous way young people mix formal and casual clothes.

Anderson’s imagined character felt like a collision between Eton tradition and after-hours excess. The result was a wardrobe for the “disheveled aristocrat”, a figure that has become central to his Dior narrative.

Tailoring that comes undone

The designer continued the idea introduced in his debut collection, though this season it appeared looser, easier and more wearable. Tailoring became softer and more relaxed through baggy “Bobby” suits inspired by a vintage Marc Bohan design, roomy double-breasted jackets, loose tuxedos and wider trousers.

Transparency also played a role. Silk chiffon pieces printed with pinstripes and houndstooth patterns brought an unexpected sense of lightness to traditional tailoring. Frock coats, dressing gowns and pajama suits merged with trenches and bombers, creating garments that sat between history and modern dressing.

There was a deliberate sense of imperfection throughout. Crooked bow ties, trailing dressing gowns, frayed hems, ripped edges and laddered knits gave the clothes the feeling of having lived through a long night. Yet the elegance of Dior remained intact.

The glamour of the morning after

The colour palette balanced classic neutrals with flashes of celebration. Navy, beige, black, chocolate brown and soft wool shades formed the foundation, while silver and gold sequins, metallic surfaces, stone-washed pinks and embroidered bright tones brought moments of glamour.

The collection also played with texture in a particularly rich way. Distressed denim appeared alongside lavish embroidery, while sheer printed chiffons met heavy knits and outerwear. Suede parkas and shearling-lined blazers suggested comfort and warmth, almost like wrapping oneself in a blanket after dawn.

Sequined polka dots, crinkled checks, fringed jackets, metallic fabrics and touches of shimmering python reinforced the collection’s dialogue between luxury and spontaneity.

Heritage meets rave culture

One of the collection’s strongest ideas was the meeting of Dior’s heritage with the language of nightlife. Sequined jeans and trousers, disco-ball boots and metallic party pieces suggested a wardrobe for a perpetual celebration, what could be called a party-boy uniform.

Historical garments were given a contemporary attitude through pajama details and distressed finishes, while tailoring appeared both polished and undone. The collection also seemed designed with a broader audience in mind, offering strong outerwear, knitwear and versatile separates that could move easily between seasons and different ways of dressing.

At the same time, the collection opened a wider conversation within Dior, sharing techniques and ideas with the women’s collections while continuing to build new house codes rooted in both formality and partying.
