<div>Unveiled in the Musée du Louvre’s historic apartments of Anne of Austria, Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection reimagines intimacy as the ultimate luxury.
Silhouettes blur the boundaries between private and public, subverting the “indoor” wardrobe with freedom and individuality. Styled as personal revelations, each look celebrates the art of dressing for oneself.
Set within a scenography by Marie-Anne Derville layering centuries of French taste with modern design. the show unfolded like a living manifesto of self-expression. Cate Blanchett’s voice reciting This Must Be the Place underscored the mood: fashion as intimacy, liberation, and art de vivre.

<div> At Saint Laurent, aesthetics are never decoration they’re a dialect. They articulate a worldview, a way of positioning beauty against the noise of culture, politics, and desire. Anthony Vaccarello’s Summer 2026 collection arrives as both provocation and invitation. In an age where conversation feels fractured, Saint Laurent turns style into language: fluid, nuanced, resistant to simplification. If words divide, clothes here connect layered with meaning, charged with possibility.
On the runway, the Saint Laurent woman is cinema incarnate: an icon and enigma, a heroine and archetype. She slips between identities: a Mapplethorpe leather princess crowned in jewels; a modern power figure draped in Rive Gauche ease, where fabric sways in bold color fields; an aristocratic ghost, the spirit of "Madame X" or the Duchess of Guermantes, reimagined in sleek technical textiles.
Each silhouette reads like an argument, a visual essay in strength and seduction. Beauty, Vaccarello insists, is never singular, it’s plural, contradictory, alive. This season, Saint Laurent proposes aesthetics not as escape, but as resistance. A way of acknowledging difference, of carving out space, of finding unity in multiplicity.

<div>In 1969, Cartier redefined intimacy with the LOVE bracelet an oval of gold locked by screws, love sealed as a radical act. Now, LOVE Unlimited pushes that manifesto forward. Flexible and fluid, it clings to the skin like a second heartbeat alone, paired, or multiplied into infinity. Nearly 200 miniature components vanish into a seamless ribbon of gadroons and hand-polished screws, anchored by an invisible clasp. Innovation hidden inside seduction.
Available in rose, yellow, or white gold and echoed in a ring the new design turns connection into a ritual. A gesture without limits, guarded by Cartier’s Panther: bold, untamed, eternal.
LOVE, once radical, now infinite.

LOVE Unlimited reinterprets the timeless codes of the Maison’s most iconic jewel.
