Across the Pond with Conner Ives

September 16, 2026

American designer Conner Ives made his New York Fashion Week debut for Spring/Summer 2027 with a homecoming collection called Across the Pond.

Across the Pond, Conner Ives’ SS27 collection, marked his return to the United States after nearly a decade of showing in London. The collection centred on the theme of “Flamboyance!”, described by Ives as the drama of coming home and the unique pride of being American. It also reflected his complicated relationship with his home country. Key looks included dishevelled, power-lunch-inspired Wall Street suits created in collaboration with Gieves & Hawkes, alongside statement T-shirts featuring the phrase “Bring Back Shame.” The runway featured Lila Moss, Iris Law, and Hari Nef, with Kim Cattrall in the front row.

Passion and flamboyance are my most inherently American traits' - Conner Ives

Saint Laurent SS26

Pieces in this collection have a clear focus on structure, showcasing an assertive personality. They are reimaginings of womenswear that stand firmly at the intersection of doll and warrior. Trench coats with padded shoulders and waistbelts helped to create strength in angles, while oversized, badge-like bows and massive ruffle dresses tie in themes of femininity and indulgence. The show was an antonym to the “quiet luxury” trend, showcasing the beauty that somehow manages to stand within a resistive world. Rather than crumbling in the face of society’s imposed restraint, Saint Laurent allows itself to grow determinedly. This collection is one in line with the joy of resistance.

The Saint Laurent woman is a clear protagonist. She is full of ideas and yet singular in her morality and commitment to classicness, making her nothing short of complex in a most invaluable way. Saint Laurent’s SS26 collection dresses this archetype in a contrastive regalness. Leather-clad and modernity. Flowing fabrics and antiquity. The collection engages uniquely with the concepts of era and power.

Willy Chavarria Presents AW25 Campaign 'Exactamente'

October 07, 2025

For AW25, Willy Chavarria enters a new era with EXACTAMENTE, a campaign that captures the brand’s evolving spirit through Living Pictures, a series of cinematic moving portraits. Shot by Danielle Levitt and animated by longtime collaborator Jess Cuevas, the result is Willy Chavarria in motion.

Styled by Caitlan Hickey, the collection itself moves with a duality of strength and softness. Repeated looks across the cast highlight the versatility of the designs; pieces that move easily between identities and contexts. Chavarria’s familiar shapes return: broad shoulders, wide trousers, and generous proportions. Tailoring blends with sportswear ease, balancing structure and fluidity.

EXACTAMENTE isn’t just about how clothes look, it’s about how they live, how they move, and who they empower.

Inspired by the iconic visual cataloging of Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, the WILLY crew turns the lens back on New York. This project is a tribute to the idea that clothes belong to the wearer, not the other way around.
