Helmut Lang 'Under Construction'

September 07, 2018

For her first role as Helmut Lang's newest Editor-in-Residence, V Magazine founder and former W features director Alix Browne has taken us back to basics. The brand, whose previous Editor-in-Residence was Dazed's Isabella Burley, has launched an all new denim collection that pays homage to its minimalist roots, proving, yet again, that less truly is more—especially when it comes to denim. Dropping this October, ‘Under Construction’ reimagines classic jean styles, like the straight-leg and the bootcut, into deconstructed versions of their original form.

And with all the looks embracing the natural flaws of their material, these closet staples celebrate the perfectly imperfect aspects of the world’s most iconic fabric. Like the name of the capsule suggests, Helmut Lang’s ‘Under Construction’ will be the perfect kind of understated demin-ware that seamlessly enhances any look.

Literary Sport Spring/Summer 26

February 19, 2026

Literary Sport introduces its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, shot at the Amalia Hernández House by Agustín Hernández Navarro. The campaign reflects the brand’s steady evolution, grounded in its core codes while subtly pushing them forward.

Seasonal hues of verdant green and scarlet red are layered with brown, navy, grey, black, and bone. Oversized proportions define everyday staples, from T-shirts to sweatpants, alongside the brand’s reinterpretation of a 1930s Japanese car coat. Reworked in nylon rather than traditional leather, the piece brings a contemporary, athleisure-inflected sensibility to a classic silhouette. This season also marks an expansion of the brand’s universe, with the introduction of accessories such as merino wool socks and a running beanie, signaling a broader, more considered vision from Literary Sport.

KIM SHUI Fall/Winter 2026

February 19, 2026

On February 15 in New York City, Kim Shui presented her Fall/Winter 2026 collection aboard the Eternity Yacht, staging 41 looks against the city’s shifting skyline. Timed just before the Lunar calendar turns to the Year of the Fire Horse, the show marked the opening chapter of the brand’s tenth year. Set on water rather than on land, the presentation centred on motion: both physical and conceptual. Reflecting Shui’s exploration of Qi as a force of intention, memory, and transformation.

Drawing from the migratory history of Mongolia, the collection examined culture shaped by movement across terrain where craft and identity travel and adapt. Early looks emphasized protection and weight, in velvet, felt, suede, leather, and faux fur. As the show progressed, pieces shifted toward metallic gold and silver finishes.

The staging highlighted the theme of movement. The yacht operated as a contemporary analogue to the horse, and a live guzheng performance by Nico Huzella, transitioned into Massive Attack’s “Angel," allowing guests to experience the show within this shifting environment, reinforcing Shui’s premise that progress does not require fixed ground.

Casting continued the commitment to representation, bringing together a range of bodies and identities that reflect Shui’s view of femininity as layered and evolving.
