Burberry and Gucci are in sport mode, Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first Cruise collection for FENDI has landed, Ace & Tate is making sure you don’t miss out on eye contact this summer, and more fashion news to have on your radar this week.

If you haven’t been living under a rock, chances are you too swooned over Sarah Pidgeon (and her perfect blonde locks) this spring, as Carolyn Bessette in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, a fictional take on her relationship with JFK Jr. set against New York’s most iconic backdrops. The portrayal was passionate, electric, explosive, and marked Pidgeon’s big industry breakthrough. And as fans begin to speculate about what comes next for the actor, we can’t help but wonder: wouldn’t she be the perfect protagonist for a Celine Song film?

Well, Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga certainly seems to think so. Marking their first-ever creative collaboration, Pidgeon and Song take on the Big Apple with the Creative Director for the House’s Fall 2026 campaign, A New York Minute: Keep Rolling. Appearing across three films, each exactly 60 seconds long and shot entirely in Manhattan, the campaign highlights Balenciaga’s signature bags as its poster girl finds herself lost within the city’s unmistakable rhythm. 

To accompany the visuals, Piccioli has also launched Balenciaga’s new burner Instagram account, @keeppprolling, where exclusive behind-the-scenes content will live. We’re already following, of course.

The ultimate trench coat and consistently excellent campaigns – two things we can always count on Burberry to deliver. As anticipation builds around one of the world’s biggest sporting events this summer, the FIFA World Cup, Daniel Lee’s latest campaign arrives right on cue. Aptly titled A Good Sport, it brings together an impressive cast of cultural heavyweights, including Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, England footballers Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Leah Williamson, Romeo Beckham, and actors Jodie Turner-Smith and Stephen Graham, among others. An easy win.

Gucci and Alpine are making F1 sexy

Demna’s Gucci has been accelerating towards peak desirability for some time now. But its latest move makes that momentum a little more literal. The Italian house has announced its debut motorsport partnership with Alpine Formula One, with the team set to compete as Gucci Racing Alpine Formula One Team from the 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship onwards. If you thought F1 was already sexy, just wait.

Maria Grazia Chiuri Takes FENDI Beyond the Mirror for Cruise 2027

In celebration of her first Cruise offering for the House of FENDI, Maria Grazia Chiuri has unveiled a short film that pays tribute to Histoire d’Eau, widely considered the first fashion film ever made. Originally directed by Jacques de Bascher in 1977 and commissioned by Karl Lagerfeld to launch FENDI’s first ready-to-wear collection, the film serves as both inspiration and reference point for Chiuri’s latest vision. 

Ace & Tate Gives Rose-Coloured Lenses a New Meaning

Consider it the end of hiding behind blackout sunglasses. Available in stores now.
