<h3>Michael Rider: Dressing with Feeling</h3>
Michael Rider approaches fashion through emotion: the desire to belong, the impulse to stand apart, and the pleasure of dressing up. His vision moves between effortless elegance and restless energy, leaving room for both calm and fabulousness.
Gesture, ease and individuality guide the mood. Clothes become part of life&rsquo;s memorable moments, carrying the confidence to head out, escape routine and rock the boat. It&rsquo;s a spirited expression of what makes us fall in love with fashion and keeps us coming back.

<div>CHANEL SS27: Familiar codes, a freer attitude.
At the Grand Palais, Matthieu Blazy loosened up Chanel’s wardrobe: tweed felt more relaxed, pencil skirts returned, and sheer layers brought lingerie into view. Bold jewellery punctuated the looks beneath a sky of glowing birds and moonlight.
The collection’s appeal lay in that mix of polish and ease a Chanel woman with room to dress on her own terms.

<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.
