Ariana Grande leans into fairytales, Phoebe Philo’s new drop, Prada gets conceptual and Bella Hadid goes nostalgic, here are this week’s fashion news, covered.

Ariana Grande is back for a round two, and this time she’s gone full fantasy. Ahead of her Eternal Sunshine tour, scheduled to begin in June, Swarovski unveils the second Ariana Grande x Swarovski capsule, co-created with the brand’s Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert. Framed within the imagined world of “Ariana’s Garden,” the collection translates its motifs into high-shine jewellery. Dragonflies, flowers and butterflies appear in multiple forms, rendered through rainbow-hued crystals, delicate pearls and mixed metals… Did anyone else catch echoes of the look she wore performing at the 2024 Met Gala in this?

The 29-piece collection is much softer and dreamier than the previous. Engelbert cites the Aurora Borealis as a key reference point, with its iridescent light echoed across the pieces. Captured by longtime collaborators Mert and Marcus, the accompanying campaign positions Grande within this dreamlike landscape.  And while awards season has felt noticeably dimmer without Glinda – sorry, Grande – on the red carpet, we’ll consider this a kind of compensation.

Phoebe Philo’s Influence Doesn’t Need a Runway

Phoebe Philo’s latest drop lands with the same authority that’s come to define her namesake label, Philo doesn’t need a runway, or noise, just great pieces, and isn’t that what matters? Collection E leans into her signature balance of structure and ease, anchored by statement shearling coats and tactile leather outerwear, but offset with slouchier, almost off-duty silhouettes and subversive details. It’s that ongoing tension between the elevated and the everyday, or how to make the every day elevated, sculptural tanks, reworked tees, and unconventional eveningwear, that keeps her audience locked in. 

Martha Stewart “Tastes Great“

Lifestyle and clothing LA brand MOTHER taps icon Martha Stewart for its latest “Tastes Great” collection, a campaign that sees the ultimate authority on good taste finally being served. Shot by Douglas Friedman against the backdrop of an old-world hotel, Stewart moves through everyday moments, from room service to elevator selfies, with her signature style (and a few tasty treats thrown in). The mogul also brings her own touch to the project, sharing a favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe set to drop on the brand’s platform later this month. Cannot wait to try it. 

Supreme x MM6 Maison Margiela Is One for the Archives

Supreme links up with MM6 Maison Margiela for Spring 2026, delivering a collection that leans fully into both brands’ love of subversion. Classic streetwear silhouettes, think leather racer jackets, denim truckers, hoodies and football jerseys, are reworked through MM6’s off-kilter lens, while more unexpected pieces like a heavy bag and boxing gloves land firmly in collector territory. The full lineup spans outerwear, ready-to-wear and accessories, including a shearling bomber, stadium jacket, silk scarf, backpack and waterproof boots, all delivered with that signature mix of utility and disruption. This is one you’ll likely be spotting on resale platforms for years to come, so consider this your warning not to miss out.

Prada’s Campaign Wants You to Think Again

I, I, I, I am… processing. Prada introduces the second act of its SS26 campaign, recontextualising the collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons through the lens of American artist Jordan Wolfson. Featuring returning cast members from the first act, Image of an Image including John Glacier, Nicholas Hoult, Damson Idris and Hunter Schafer the campaign collides human subjects with Wolfson’s digitally rendered creatures, folding reality into something more uncanny. It’s a sharp meditation on identity and image-making, where nothing feels entirely fixed and everything is slightly off. In other words, Prada doing what Prada does best, pushing things just far enough to make you question what you’re looking at. Would have loved to be in the room when this one was pitched.

Jacquemus Gets Sentimental with “Le Paysan”

Simon Porte Jacquemus is feeling nostalgic, and honestly, so are we. With “Le Paysan,” the designer revisits the collection first shown at Versailles, now reimagined against Mont Saint-Michel. Rooted in his South of France upbringing, the campaign blends the natural landscape with that unmistakable Jacquemus polish, pulling from family archives and channelling the idea of “Sunday best” clothing. It’s intimate, a little romantic, and just self-aware enough. Jacquemus still knows how to turn personal memory into something you want to buy into.

Bella Hadid Gets Nostalgic with Orebella’s “Jasmine Blues”

Are you looking for a spring scent as the sun starts shining and the trees blossom? Miss Bella Hadid is leaning into memory with Orebella’s latest fragrance, Jasmine Blues. Framed as a reflection on “childhood wonder” and quiet discovery, the scent draws directly from her early years, inspired by the jasmine-lined garden of her childhood home and the blue lotus flowers that grew nearby. It’s floral, fresh and softly nostalgic, just in time for the season shift.
