<div>BALENCIAGA SUMMER 2027: COUTURE, SET FREE
What happens when couture leaves the salon and slips into your everyday wardrobe? For Balenciaga Summer 2027, Pierpaolo Piccioli takes the precision of the atelier into jeans, T-shirts and leather jackets, giving familiar clothes a different relationship with the body.
The shift is in the cut. Denim falls on the bias, shirts find new angles, and stitching brings sculptural volume to cotton and leather. Shapes drawn from the house’s couture vocabulary surface where you least expect them. A T-shirt becomes a study in architecture; a leather jacket carries a curve that changes its entire attitude.
There’s an intimacy to it all. Clothes are draped, formed and shaped by hand, with movement guiding the result. Lace reveals skin through openings that become part of the construction. Organza flowers, filled with compressed air, introduce an unexpected play between delicacy and volume. Drawstrings and buttoned collars let the wearer adjust the silhouette, making the final gesture their own.
That softness extends to the accessories. The Dahlia Mule and Wave Thong Sandal sit alongside the unstructured Lounge Sneaker, while the Nodo and Silhou Tote bring a supple, almost organic quality to leather. Braided sunglasses and seashell-inspired Getaria jewellery add texture without interrupting the ease.
At the centre of the show sits French artist Aude Franjou’s Les Coraux de la Liberté, a wrapped-linen sculpture that gives the collection its name. Its intertwining forms offer a fitting image for Piccioli’s Balenciaga: craft as something living, capable of growing in new directions.
Summer 2027 finds its energy in that freedom. The atelier does the intricate work; the wearer gets to move.

<div>TOM FORD SS27: DESIRE NEEDS AIR
A door left open at night. A gaze held a second too long. Lipstick lingering on someone else’s lips. For Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2027, Haider Ackermann imagines seduction through the moments that leave us wondering what happened and what might happen next.
Sexuality has always been central to Tom Ford’s identity. Here, Ackermann explores its quieter tension: the intimacy of revealing yourself while keeping something back. There is an appeal in that uncertainty, where a spontaneous gesture can feel daring and vulnerability can carry its own kind of power.
His starting point is the mirror, a surface that makes looking a reciprocal act. Who watches whom? When does being seen become an invitation? These questions give his vision an uneasy intimacy, bringing desire close to the edge without resolving it.
Decadence enters through the possibility of going further: staying out later, opening an unfamiliar door, following an impulse without knowing where it leads. Ackermann leaves the story unfinished. The intrigue lies in that suspended moment, when freedom feels exhilarating and a little dangerous.

<div> CHLOÉ SUMMER 2027: AN AFFAIR WITH OBSESSION
There is something revealing about the things a designer keeps returning to. For Chloé Summer 2027, Chemena Kamali follows those attachments into a wardrobe where delicate embroidery meets protective outerwear, and lingerie finds its place alongside tailoring.
Called “Obsession,” the collection feels like a personal reading of the house’s history. The youthful dresses of Chloé’s early years inform broderie anglaise worked across airy organza and substantial cotton. Three-dimensional floral embroidery brings texture and a touch of exuberance, balancing intricate workmanship with an easy, youthful spirit.
Much of the silhouette begins at the neckline. Heart-shaped, bateau, square and plunging V cuts frame the body, giving the romantic fabrics a clear sense of structure. That precision becomes more pronounced in outerwear: fishermen’s coats, capes and sou’wester hats introduce a practical, almost windswept character. Smoky transparent vinyl adds a sharper surface, allowing the layers beneath to remain visible.
The archival 1972 “Noel” suit offers another way into Chloé’s femininity. Its scalloped tuxedo edges carry the same decorative impulse as the dresses, translated into the language of menswear. Here, tailoring belongs naturally within the house’s romantic vocabulary.
The lingerie pieces are more intimate. Lace is cut away and reconfigured into delicate harnesses, leaving graphic lines that trace the body. Their spareness gives the collection’s richer embroideries room to breathe.
Kamali’s strongest idea is the friction between these elements: fragile fabric and weatherproof surfaces, floral embellishment and precise tailoring. Summer 2027 finds its character in those encounters, revealing how much there is still to explore in the clothes and the feelings a designer loves.
