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.

"For man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. Impotent rebels, unable to keep up their own rebellion. Praying to false idols that could bring them fortune but won’t. So they beg for bread in an America that is worse off than it was for their parents. Their freedom is used unwisely. Their freedom has led them into straits-and have them encounter such marvels and insoluble mysteries that some of them will destroy themselves, others will destroy each other and the rest will crawl fawning for grace from a false prophet."

Chateau AMIRI

February 12, 2026

AMIRI’s Spring/Summer 2026 campaign unfolds somewhere between reality and fantasy. Titled Chateau AMIRI, California, the project imagines an elusive Hollywood hotel, not just as a place to stay, but somewhere that stories, ambitions, and personas quietly collide.

Set against a hazy, nostalgic vision of 1970s Los Angeles, the campaign leans into the cinematic language that has become a signature for the brand. The Chateau is populated by unfamiliar bedrooms and empty suites, sun-drenched pools and crowded lobbies. Each image suggests a fragment of a larger narrative, inviting the viewer to fill in the gaps.

Leading the cast is Michael Imperioli, whose presence brings a certain weight to the campaign’s imagined world. He’s joined by Danny Ramirez, Malcolm McRae, and models Jordan Daniels and Heather Diamond Strongarm, each playing different versions of themselves.

Captured by Hart Leshkina, the campaign moves fluidly across creative worlds and perspectives, reinforcing the idea of the hotel as a meeting point rather than a destination. It’s a setting that thrives on contradiction, chance encounters, and the promise of stories just beginning.

Within the walls of Chateau AMIRI, archetypes emerge. There’s the aspiring actor in sharp tailoring, the producer wrapped in a silk robe, the Hollywood idol dressed in an embellished tuxedo. Elsewhere, slender, shimmering evening gowns signal a new generation of icons, while the Honey bag appears as the collection’s latest emblem. Together, these looks underline the tension at the heart of AMIRI; the dressed-up and the laid-back, the relaxed and the refined, coexisting without hierarchy.

“Character is the starting point for everything I create, shaped by cinema - the soul of Hollywood. Our AMIRI campaigns have become spaces to explore this idea - creating immersive worlds of still and motion pictures, where our collections come to life with new context, different stories. Building on that universe we're crafting, this season we welcome you - and a cast of true stars - into the Chateau AMIRI”

Miu Miu Signatures

February 12, 2026

For Spring/Summer 2026, Miu Miu introduces the Tie Vest as part of its ongoing Signatures series, transforming a traditionally utilitarian piece into a flexible expression of individuality. First seen on the runway, the vest merges structure with softness, balancing masculine codes with the brand’s signature sense of ease and intimacy.

Designed to be styled instinctively, the Tie Vest plays with proportion and purpose. Its adjustable ties allow it to shift between fitted and relaxed, worn over shirting, knits, or directly against the body. The piece reflects Miu Miu’s interest in clothing as personal and adaptive, less about rules and more about how it’s lived in.

Rooted in classic tailoring yet open-ended in styling, the Tie Vest continues Miu Miu’s exploration of everyday garments reimagined through subtle disruption. It’s a quiet statement piece, offering versatility, attitude, and a new approach to layering that feels both intentional and effortless.
