Having spent a decade designing at the house when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/phoebe-philo\"><span>Phoebe Philo<\/span><\/a><span> was in charge, his appointment feels less like an arrival and more like a homecoming. Now steering the ship himself, Rider\u2019s own visual language at Celine is becoming clearer with each season. The collection leaned heavily into Parisian chic, a defining principle for Celine, styled in a way that felt ready to walk straight off the runway and into real life. In show notes, Rider made clear that his Celine is about \u201cstyle without irony\u201d and \u201crejecting the idea of a \u2018concept\u2019.\u201d The result was a wardrobe built on staples: slimline trousers, boxy long wool coats, leopard-print outerwear, and fluid satin sets, as chic as they are wearable. From perfectly cut black midi skirts that could be styled a million ways, to light beige trenches ideal for the spring months, it was clear Rider was aiming for longevity, designing pieces meant to be worn and reworn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The accessories were equally strong. While we await the next breakout It-bag to follow in the Phantom\u2019s footsteps, Rider\u2019s colourful clutches and totes stepped in as statement pieces, the kind that make you instinctively reach for the \u2018Add to cart\u2019 button. After years of \u2018Philophiles\u2019 and \u2018Hedi Boys\u2019, the question now becomes: what do Rider\u2019s followers call ourselves?<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>MATI\u00c8RES F\u00c9CALES<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"37f456e4-4ad8-4a68-92d2-b40a013d7e75\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1821\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441396.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mati&#232;res F&#233;cales AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2732\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441396.jpg\" width=\"1821\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>It made sense that one of the most political shows of AW26 would be in Paris, because no one does a political revolution quite like the French. In their AW26 collection, titled <\/span><em><span>The 1%<\/span><\/em><span>, Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran offered a piece of their mind. The collection was a study of power, wealth, and those who crave it, explored through obvious cues: gags made of dollar bills, Lady Macbeth-style blood-stained gloves, and gluttonous, powdery mille-feuille skirts. All of these touches were meant to represent the many faces of the 1%, and of course, no Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales show would be complete without white face paint. Elsewhere, longevity guru Bryan Johnson walked the runway in <\/span><em><span>American Psycho<\/span><\/em><span>-esque styling, followed by a finance bro quarter-zip ensemble. The collection was charged, critical, and even self-critical at times \u2013 luxury holding a mirror up to itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BALMAIN<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"9644714a-99a2-4b1a-816f-b40a013d8aec\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441399.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Balmain AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441399.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Balmain AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Balmain<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>In his debut outing for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/balmain\"><span>Balmain<\/span><\/a><span>, Antonin Tron dug his fingers through the archives and honed in on the house\u2019s essence. The collection paid homage to one of Pierre Balmain\u2019s most iconic creations, a uniform originally worn by Danielle D\u00e9cure, Air France\u2019s first female pilots; here, Tron swapped the traditional blue flight attendant palette for something moodier and more sensual.\u00a0<\/span>Extending his homage to the house&#8217;s original codes and paying further tribute to Monsieur Balmain, the collection also made use of features and high-quality animal prints, like tiger, leopard, and crocodile.<\/p>\n<p><span>Tron\u2019s vision steered away from the maximalist flash we saw from his predecessor, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/olivier-rousteing\"><span>Olivier Rousteing<\/span><\/a><span>. Gone were the Kim K Met Gala dresses, armadillo-esque jeans and geometric crop tops, replaced by structured evening suits; moody, embellished minis, lacy peekaboo detailing, and velvet jackets with cinched shoulders. Power dressing, the Balmain way, for the 2026 woman. Wherever Tron decides to steer things next \u2013 sticking with the restraint of his own brand Atlein, or leaning into Rousteing-level spectacle \u2013 we\u2019re already on board.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>TOM FORD<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"4976b379-c8b2-4869-bd51-b40a013d9cda\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441402.jpeg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tom Ford AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441402.jpeg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Tom Ford AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Tom Ford<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>If <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/haider-ackermann\"><span>Haider Ackermann<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s previous collections made the ghouls and nightcrawlers walking home at sunrise look attractive, this outing seemed to ask a different question: what if the next day at the office was just as alluring? On the runway, workplace staples were subtly distorted. PVC, an unexpected material in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/tom-ford\"><span>Tom Ford<\/span><\/a><span> universe, appeared in pencil skirts, trench coats and headscarves. Shirts hung open but remained tucked in, while blazers arrived without trousers, revealing delicate lace underlayers, as though borrowed in haste from a corporate boyfriend\u2019s wardrobe. The effect was all about contrast. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Where Ford often leaned into overt sensuality, Ackermann seems more interested in tension, or the quiet power of suggestion. Nothing here was explicitly vulgar. Instead, the collection teased. Everyday garments were quietly reprogrammed into something charged, proving that under Ackermann\u2019s watch, almost nothing at Tom Ford is safe from being eroticised.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ALA\u00cfA<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"ed154c51-6f09-4955-a6d7-b40a013dadd9\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441405.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ala&#239;a AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441405.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Ala\u00efa AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Ala\u00efa<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Generally in fashion, being told your most recent collection is your simplest yet might seem like a back-handed compliment.

Under bright fluorescent lighting, with a flock of A-listers at arm\u2019s length, you start to realise how brave Mulier is.

With a Schiaparelli exhibition opening at the V&amp;A this spring, this collection would fit seamlessly among the rest of the museum&#8217;s artwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>RICK OWENS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"4cf916ea-8070-4b95-8040-b40a013dc890\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1821\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441413.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rick Owens AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2731\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441413.jpg\" width=\"1821\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Rick Owens AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Owenscorp<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Avant-garde draped silhouettes, ghoulish casting, and a front row that could pass for an eldritch court are all things you expect at a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/rick-owens\"><span>Rick Owens<\/span><\/a><span> show. But would you expect colourful furs? Patterned ballooned sleeves? Sequined boots? In his AW26 collection, Owens pushed his vision further than ever, proving the limitless scope of his creative direction. Titled <\/span><em><span>Tower<\/span><\/em><span>, the collection referenced the prayer \u201cTemple of Love, Tower of Light\u201d, exploring the contrast of hope and devotion beside enforcement and control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Long-haired goat hide coats and draped velvet sat next to m\u00e9lange wool pieces; high-collared marbled felt cloaks paired with elf ears conjured the sense that an army of elves had taken over the runway. Kevlar, a fibre typically used in bulletproof vests, was woven into many of the garments, meaning these mythical figures were not just stylish \u2013 they were battle-ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ISSEY MIYAKE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"d652e6d0-9759-45df-a52f-b40a013ddb64\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441417.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Issey Miyake AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441417.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Issey Miyake AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Issey Miyake<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>After a hectic Saturday at PFW, the new collection from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/issey-miyake\"><span>Issey Miyake<\/span><\/a><span> felt like meditating in a Zen garden. Its usual pilot, Satoshi Kondo, presented a collection defined by the sculptural innovation that has long been the house\u2019s signature. The wardrobe leaned into staples: beige suit trousers, draped long black coats, and structured tailoring featuring high architectural necks and sculpted shoulders. Even the bolder pieces, rendered in statement colours, mostly stuck to the house\u2019s signature geometric silhouettes. The designs felt timeless, rather than dictacted by the churn of seasonal trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Structured blouses and sculpted leather pieces, though fixed in architectural shapes, never felt heavy or restrictive, reading as wearable clothing rather than something which sits awkwardly on top of the body. One standout was a dress featuring wax-like corsetry, created from layers of glued paper by Kyoto artisans, which controlled a sea of fabric draped around the bodice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>LANVIN<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"f4a738c3-9086-4e30-9373-b40a013debfa\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441420.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.8\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lanvin AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441420.jpg\" width=\"2400\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Lanvin AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Lanvin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>As creative director Peter Copping noted, \u201cJeanne Lanvin was a visionary of her time whose interests and passions extended far beyond fashion, as do my own.\u201d Eveningwear proved to be the collection\u2019s focus, with more than twenty gowns embodying the refined Parisian femininity that has long defined the house. Sequined midi dresses shimmering from head to toe sat alongside all-black ensembles and vibrant floral maxis, each nodding to the elegance of 1920s silhouettes. There was, quite simply, an evening dress for every taste and occasion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The true statement pieces, however, were the hats. Oversized and cape-like, often falling low enough to obscure the eyes, they appeared in multiple fabrics and colours, accessorising both suits and gowns while adding an air of mystery to the collection. Leading France\u2019s longest-standing fashion house carries immense pressure, but it appears that Copping is unfazed by the challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>YOHJI YAMAMOTO<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"888925f7-283b-4a4e-a758-b40a01422376\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1667\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441422.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Yohji Yamamoto AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441422.jpg\" width=\"1667\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Yohji Yamamoto AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Yohji Yamamoto<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Presented at the historic H\u00f4tel de Ville, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/yohji-yamamoto\"><span>Yohji Yamamoto<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s AW26 collection felt like an intimate gathering of old friends. Few guests were invited, and as the greeting cards specified, no screens were allowed \u2013 just us and the clothes. The collection drew on Yamamoto\u2019s heritage, with the kimono reimagined as modern armor. Draping was altered, layered, and ultimately transformed for contemporary wear, pairing Japanese fabrication with Parisian craftsmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Patterned coats, knotted dresses, and multifabric ensembles blurred the line between garment types: was it a shirt, trousers, a dress, or one impossibly constructed piece?<\/span><span> Garments refused to be boxed by archetypes or constrained by expectation, moving instead in free-flowing forms. Laced panelled dresses and intricate knotting swayed as models walked slowly down the runway, each step revealing the fluidity of the design. Hair was gelled upright and adorned with the seemingly impossible \u2013 telephones, broken plates, tassels \u2013 continuing the mystique of Yamamoto\u2019s craftsmanship and our fascination with his enduring inventiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>JUNYA WATANABE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"d2431a34-6c34-4df1-bc76-b40a01422b24\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1667\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441424.JPG\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Junya Watanabe AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441424.JPG\" width=\"1667\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Junya Watanabe AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Junya Watanabe<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/junya-watanabe\"><span>Junya Watanabe<\/span><\/a><span> has long been fascinated with deconstruction, and this season was no exception. The collection arrived as a patchwork of unorthodox materials and unexpected garments \u2013 heeled boots worn as sleeves, a dress constructed from rulers, and another threaded with strands of hair sewn directly into the fabric. Irina Shayk, for example, wore a bodice assembled entirely from gloves. The melting together of these patched materials warped the viewer\u2019s perception. Pieces blended into one another, disorienting the eye until it became difficult to distinguish where one garment ended and another began. After all, in Watanabe\u2019s world, it\u2019s all fabric at the end of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Runny makeup and the show\u2019s signature choreography (models swaying from side to side before tossing jackets to the floor) only intensified the sense of visual confusion. Toys, emergency blankets, and helmets stitched into gowns should not make sense, yet under Watanabe\u2019s hand they shed their original purpose, transforming utilitarian objects into something entirely new.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>HERM\u00c8S<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"ab96d7bd-3e9d-46fc-bc81-b40a01424914\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1500\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441428.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.75\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Herm&#232;s AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441428.jpg\" width=\"1500\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Herm\u00e8s AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Herm\u00e8s<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>When you think of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/hermes\"><span>Herm\u00e8s<\/span><\/a><span>, you often think of traditional silhouettes, more often than not pulled from the archives. For her AW26 collection, however, Nad\u00e8ge Vanh\u00e9e gave that ethos a utilitarian, futuristic edge. Equestrian references, long a house signature, returned once again. Jumping boots, this time stretched over the knee, appeared alongside fitted riding-style bodysuits cut from supple leathers in a range of earthy tones. But these familiar shapes were sharpened with modern, technical details: utilitarian zip-through panelling, lightweight materials that maintained both breathability and structure, and streamlined utility touches that subtly pushed the silhouette into the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Even the beloved Birkin bag received a practical update in a new cargo-style iteration. In contrast, smaller leather goods such as the Picotin bag appeared in compact micro versions rendered in polished box leather. Vanh\u00e9e described the collection as \u201cresolutely about modernism\u201d, exploring how design can move with fluidity and sensuality while also addressing questions of female agency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>OTTOLINGER<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"78993398-420d-40a1-ad02-b40a0142674c\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441432.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ottolinger AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441432.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Ottolinger AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Ottolinger<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/ottolinger\"><span>Ottolinger<\/span><\/a><span> has always made clothes for women who refuse to behave. Titled <\/span><em><span>The Female Fool<\/span><\/em><span>, its AW26 collection took its cue from the German artist Isa Genzken, who once described herself as \u201cthe only female fool\u201d, reclaiming the idea of the unruly woman who takes up space, speaks her mind, and refuses to apologise. On the runway, outerwear took centre stage. Twisted brown teddy-fur coats appeared in multiple variations all cut from the same cloth. Some cropped, others long and belted, with one sculpted to echo corsetry. Leather pieces were intricately shaped, emphasising structure and movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The show was soundtracked by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/madonna\"><span>Madonna<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s daughter Lourdes Leon, who also sat front row. The atmosphere felt deliberately unruly, but the result was less about shock and more about celebration, an ode to women doing exactly what they want. It was a fitting show to be presented on International Women\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

Elsewhere, things went full cyborg, with Duran Lantink\u2019s second outing for Jean Paul Gaultier delivering a slightly toned-down but still characteristically loud take on futurism.

Having spent a decade designing at the house when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/phoebe-philo\"><span>Phoebe Philo<\/span><\/a><span> was in charge, his appointment feels less like an arrival and more like a homecoming. Now steering the ship himself, Rider\u2019s own visual language at Celine is becoming clearer with each season. The collection leaned heavily into Parisian chic, a defining principle for Celine, styled in a way that felt ready to walk straight off the runway and into real life. In show notes, Rider made clear that his Celine is about \u201cstyle without irony\u201d and \u201crejecting the idea of a \u2018concept\u2019.\u201d The result was a wardrobe built on staples: slimline trousers, boxy long wool coats, leopard-print outerwear, and fluid satin sets, as chic as they are wearable. From perfectly cut black midi skirts that could be styled a million ways, to light beige trenches ideal for the spring months, it was clear Rider was aiming for longevity, designing pieces meant to be worn and reworn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The accessories were equally strong. While we await the next breakout It-bag to follow in the Phantom\u2019s footsteps, Rider\u2019s colourful clutches and totes stepped in as statement pieces, the kind that make you instinctively reach for the \u2018Add to cart\u2019 button. After years of \u2018Philophiles\u2019 and \u2018Hedi Boys\u2019, the question now becomes: what do Rider\u2019s followers call ourselves?<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>MATI\u00c8RES F\u00c9CALES<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"37f456e4-4ad8-4a68-92d2-b40a013d7e75\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1821\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441396.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mati&#232;res F&#233;cales AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2732\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441396.jpg\" width=\"1821\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>It made sense that one of the most political shows of AW26 would be in Paris, because no one does a political revolution quite like the French. In their AW26 collection, titled <\/span><em><span>The 1%<\/span><\/em><span>, Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran offered a piece of their mind. The collection was a study of power, wealth, and those who crave it, explored through obvious cues: gags made of dollar bills, Lady Macbeth-style blood-stained gloves, and gluttonous, powdery mille-feuille skirts. All of these touches were meant to represent the many faces of the 1%, and of course, no Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales show would be complete without white face paint. Elsewhere, longevity guru Bryan Johnson walked the runway in <\/span><em><span>American Psycho<\/span><\/em><span>-esque styling, followed by a finance bro quarter-zip ensemble. The collection was charged, critical, and even self-critical at times \u2013 luxury holding a mirror up to itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BALMAIN<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"9644714a-99a2-4b1a-816f-b40a013d8aec\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441399.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Balmain AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441399.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Balmain AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Balmain<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>In his debut outing for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/balmain\"><span>Balmain<\/span><\/a><span>, Antonin Tron dug his fingers through the archives and honed in on the house\u2019s essence. The collection paid homage to one of Pierre Balmain\u2019s most iconic creations, a uniform originally worn by Danielle D\u00e9cure, Air France\u2019s first female pilots; here, Tron swapped the traditional blue flight attendant palette for something moodier and more sensual.\u00a0<\/span>Extending his homage to the house&#8217;s original codes and paying further tribute to Monsieur Balmain, the collection also made use of features and high-quality animal prints, like tiger, leopard, and crocodile.<\/p>\n<p><span>Tron\u2019s vision steered away from the maximalist flash we saw from his predecessor, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/olivier-rousteing\"><span>Olivier Rousteing<\/span><\/a><span>. Gone were the Kim K Met Gala dresses, armadillo-esque jeans and geometric crop tops, replaced by structured evening suits; moody, embellished minis, lacy peekaboo detailing, and velvet jackets with cinched shoulders. Power dressing, the Balmain way, for the 2026 woman. Wherever Tron decides to steer things next \u2013 sticking with the restraint of his own brand Atlein, or leaning into Rousteing-level spectacle \u2013 we\u2019re already on board.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>TOM FORD<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"4976b379-c8b2-4869-bd51-b40a013d9cda\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441402.jpeg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tom Ford AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441402.jpeg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Tom Ford AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Tom Ford<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>If <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/haider-ackermann\"><span>Haider Ackermann<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s previous collections made the ghouls and nightcrawlers walking home at sunrise look attractive, this outing seemed to ask a different question: what if the next day at the office was just as alluring? On the runway, workplace staples were subtly distorted. PVC, an unexpected material in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/tom-ford\"><span>Tom Ford<\/span><\/a><span> universe, appeared in pencil skirts, trench coats and headscarves. Shirts hung open but remained tucked in, while blazers arrived without trousers, revealing delicate lace underlayers, as though borrowed in haste from a corporate boyfriend\u2019s wardrobe. The effect was all about contrast. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Where Ford often leaned into overt sensuality, Ackermann seems more interested in tension, or the quiet power of suggestion. Nothing here was explicitly vulgar. Instead, the collection teased. Everyday garments were quietly reprogrammed into something charged, proving that under Ackermann\u2019s watch, almost nothing at Tom Ford is safe from being eroticised.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ALA\u00cfA<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"ed154c51-6f09-4955-a6d7-b40a013dadd9\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441405.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ala&#239;a AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441405.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Ala\u00efa AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Ala\u00efa<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Generally in fashion, being told your most recent collection is your simplest yet might seem like a back-handed compliment.

Under bright fluorescent lighting, with a flock of A-listers at arm\u2019s length, you start to realise how brave Mulier is.

With a Schiaparelli exhibition opening at the V&amp;A this spring, this collection would fit seamlessly among the rest of the museum&#8217;s artwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>RICK OWENS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"4cf916ea-8070-4b95-8040-b40a013dc890\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1821\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441413.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rick Owens AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2731\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441413.jpg\" width=\"1821\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Rick Owens AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Owenscorp<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Avant-garde draped silhouettes, ghoulish casting, and a front row that could pass for an eldritch court are all things you expect at a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/rick-owens\"><span>Rick Owens<\/span><\/a><span> show. But would you expect colourful furs? Patterned ballooned sleeves? Sequined boots? In his AW26 collection, Owens pushed his vision further than ever, proving the limitless scope of his creative direction. Titled <\/span><em><span>Tower<\/span><\/em><span>, the collection referenced the prayer \u201cTemple of Love, Tower of Light\u201d, exploring the contrast of hope and devotion beside enforcement and control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Long-haired goat hide coats and draped velvet sat next to m\u00e9lange wool pieces; high-collared marbled felt cloaks paired with elf ears conjured the sense that an army of elves had taken over the runway. Kevlar, a fibre typically used in bulletproof vests, was woven into many of the garments, meaning these mythical figures were not just stylish \u2013 they were battle-ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ISSEY MIYAKE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"d652e6d0-9759-45df-a52f-b40a013ddb64\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441417.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Issey Miyake AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441417.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Issey Miyake AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Issey Miyake<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>After a hectic Saturday at PFW, the new collection from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/issey-miyake\"><span>Issey Miyake<\/span><\/a><span> felt like meditating in a Zen garden. Its usual pilot, Satoshi Kondo, presented a collection defined by the sculptural innovation that has long been the house\u2019s signature. The wardrobe leaned into staples: beige suit trousers, draped long black coats, and structured tailoring featuring high architectural necks and sculpted shoulders. Even the bolder pieces, rendered in statement colours, mostly stuck to the house\u2019s signature geometric silhouettes. The designs felt timeless, rather than dictacted by the churn of seasonal trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Structured blouses and sculpted leather pieces, though fixed in architectural shapes, never felt heavy or restrictive, reading as wearable clothing rather than something which sits awkwardly on top of the body. One standout was a dress featuring wax-like corsetry, created from layers of glued paper by Kyoto artisans, which controlled a sea of fabric draped around the bodice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>LANVIN<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"f4a738c3-9086-4e30-9373-b40a013debfa\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441420.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.8\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lanvin AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441420.jpg\" width=\"2400\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Lanvin AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Lanvin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>As creative director Peter Copping noted, \u201cJeanne Lanvin was a visionary of her time whose interests and passions extended far beyond fashion, as do my own.\u201d Eveningwear proved to be the collection\u2019s focus, with more than twenty gowns embodying the refined Parisian femininity that has long defined the house. Sequined midi dresses shimmering from head to toe sat alongside all-black ensembles and vibrant floral maxis, each nodding to the elegance of 1920s silhouettes. There was, quite simply, an evening dress for every taste and occasion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The true statement pieces, however, were the hats. Oversized and cape-like, often falling low enough to obscure the eyes, they appeared in multiple fabrics and colours, accessorising both suits and gowns while adding an air of mystery to the collection. Leading France\u2019s longest-standing fashion house carries immense pressure, but it appears that Copping is unfazed by the challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>YOHJI YAMAMOTO<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"888925f7-283b-4a4e-a758-b40a01422376\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1667\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441422.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Yohji Yamamoto AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441422.jpg\" width=\"1667\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Yohji Yamamoto AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Yohji Yamamoto<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Presented at the historic H\u00f4tel de Ville, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/yohji-yamamoto\"><span>Yohji Yamamoto<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s AW26 collection felt like an intimate gathering of old friends. Few guests were invited, and as the greeting cards specified, no screens were allowed \u2013 just us and the clothes. The collection drew on Yamamoto\u2019s heritage, with the kimono reimagined as modern armor. Draping was altered, layered, and ultimately transformed for contemporary wear, pairing Japanese fabrication with Parisian craftsmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Patterned coats, knotted dresses, and multifabric ensembles blurred the line between garment types: was it a shirt, trousers, a dress, or one impossibly constructed piece?<\/span><span> Garments refused to be boxed by archetypes or constrained by expectation, moving instead in free-flowing forms. Laced panelled dresses and intricate knotting swayed as models walked slowly down the runway, each step revealing the fluidity of the design. Hair was gelled upright and adorned with the seemingly impossible \u2013 telephones, broken plates, tassels \u2013 continuing the mystique of Yamamoto\u2019s craftsmanship and our fascination with his enduring inventiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>JUNYA WATANABE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"d2431a34-6c34-4df1-bc76-b40a01422b24\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1667\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441424.JPG\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Junya Watanabe AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441424.JPG\" width=\"1667\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Junya Watanabe AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Junya Watanabe<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/junya-watanabe\"><span>Junya Watanabe<\/span><\/a><span> has long been fascinated with deconstruction, and this season was no exception. The collection arrived as a patchwork of unorthodox materials and unexpected garments \u2013 heeled boots worn as sleeves, a dress constructed from rulers, and another threaded with strands of hair sewn directly into the fabric. Irina Shayk, for example, wore a bodice assembled entirely from gloves. The melting together of these patched materials warped the viewer\u2019s perception. Pieces blended into one another, disorienting the eye until it became difficult to distinguish where one garment ended and another began. After all, in Watanabe\u2019s world, it\u2019s all fabric at the end of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Runny makeup and the show\u2019s signature choreography (models swaying from side to side before tossing jackets to the floor) only intensified the sense of visual confusion. Toys, emergency blankets, and helmets stitched into gowns should not make sense, yet under Watanabe\u2019s hand they shed their original purpose, transforming utilitarian objects into something entirely new.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>HERM\u00c8S<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"ab96d7bd-3e9d-46fc-bc81-b40a01424914\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1500\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441428.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.75\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Herm&#232;s AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441428.jpg\" width=\"1500\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Herm\u00e8s AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Herm\u00e8s<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>When you think of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/hermes\"><span>Herm\u00e8s<\/span><\/a><span>, you often think of traditional silhouettes, more often than not pulled from the archives. For her AW26 collection, however, Nad\u00e8ge Vanh\u00e9e gave that ethos a utilitarian, futuristic edge. Equestrian references, long a house signature, returned once again. Jumping boots, this time stretched over the knee, appeared alongside fitted riding-style bodysuits cut from supple leathers in a range of earthy tones. But these familiar shapes were sharpened with modern, technical details: utilitarian zip-through panelling, lightweight materials that maintained both breathability and structure, and streamlined utility touches that subtly pushed the silhouette into the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Even the beloved Birkin bag received a practical update in a new cargo-style iteration. In contrast, smaller leather goods such as the Picotin bag appeared in compact micro versions rendered in polished box leather. Vanh\u00e9e described the collection as \u201cresolutely about modernism\u201d, exploring how design can move with fluidity and sensuality while also addressing questions of female agency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>OTTOLINGER<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"78993398-420d-40a1-ad02-b40a0142674c\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441432.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ottolinger AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441432.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Ottolinger AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Ottolinger<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/ottolinger\"><span>Ottolinger<\/span><\/a><span> has always made clothes for women who refuse to behave. Titled <\/span><em><span>The Female Fool<\/span><\/em><span>, its AW26 collection took its cue from the German artist Isa Genzken, who once described herself as \u201cthe only female fool\u201d, reclaiming the idea of the unruly woman who takes up space, speaks her mind, and refuses to apologise. On the runway, outerwear took centre stage. Twisted brown teddy-fur coats appeared in multiple variations all cut from the same cloth. Some cropped, others long and belted, with one sculpted to echo corsetry. Leather pieces were intricately shaped, emphasising structure and movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The show was soundtracked by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/madonna\"><span>Madonna<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s daughter Lourdes Leon, who also sat front row. The atmosphere felt deliberately unruly, but the result was less about shock and more about celebration, an ode to women doing exactly what they want. It was a fitting show to be presented on International Women\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
