Backstage for AWGE's New York Show

February 15, 2026

Last night in downtown Manhattan, right by City Hall, A$AP Rocky’s AWGE stunned with a runway presentation that felt less like a show and more like a rupture in the usual fashion proceedings.

Unveiling its Fall/Winter 2026 collection after two previous Paris shows, AWGE staged a runway that brought their community out in New York City. Instead of concealing the labor behind the spectacle, the production placed it front and center. Models moved in and out of AWGE-branded glam stations mid-show, pausing for hair and makeup as a live feed projected the lineup in real time. The result was a deliberate exposure of process; fashion unfolding as it was being built.

Styled by longtime collaborator, Matthew Henson with a helping hand from James Garland, the diversity across the looks was vast. Italian-produced tailoring shared the runway with latex pieces and motowear, while leather jackets were paired with evening gowns.

Accessories played an equally considered role, grounding the looks with bespoke pieces that nodded to motorsport and industrial design. Rocky’s fatherhood also showed as models pushed strollers and donned fur baby carriers.

Presented during New York Fashion Week, the show emphasised AWGE’s ongoing commitment to rethinking how fashion is seen, consumed, and constructed.

From Catwalk to Print: Louis Vuitton Menswear

November 03, 2026

Founded by French craftsman and entrepreneur Louis Vuitton in 1854, the house quickly evolved from a maker of innovative steamer trunks into one of the world’s most influential and valuable fashion brands. During his tenure as creative director from 1997 to 2013, Marc Jacobs introduced the house’s first ready-to-wear collections, including menswear.

The twelfth installment in Yale University Press’s acclaimed Catwalk series, LOUIS VUITTON MENSWEAR offers an illustrated history of the house and the evolution of its menswear, with contributions from fashion critic Anders Christian Madsen.

A succession of creative directors, including Paul Helbers, Kim Jones, Virgil Abloh, and Pharrell Williams, have each helped shape the house’s menswear identity. The book traces the department’s history through profiles of its creative directors, followed by each menswear collection, accompanied by short essays exploring its influences and defining moments.

Filled with hundreds of runway images, the volume captures the clothes, shoes, accessories, and the models and celebrities who brought each collection to life. Finished with the cloth binding and ribbon details synonymous with the Catwalk series, it offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of Louis Vuitton menswear.
