For the first time ever Maison Margiela leaves Paris, Drew Henry takes over Courrèges and Louis Vuitton’s new Speedy P90 campaign is out, here is your weekly fashion news fix.
Glenn Martens unveiled his AW26 ready-to-wear collection in Shanghai, staging the show amid towering stacks of shipping containers, an industrial backdrop that set the tone for the first of four brand activations planned across the city in the coming month.
The collection, that included Artisanal looks (Martin Margiela himself did not separate artisanal pieces and RTW) drew heavily from Parisian flea markets, where Glenn sent the team on the quest for pieces such as a set of porcelain dolls, that were the starting point of the collection and a direct link to China and the Porcelain capital.
Traditional references were woven throughout the 72 masked off looks: 19th century gowns coated entirely in beeswax or made of organza layers that resembled porcelain, vintage dresses were glued to garments and then ripped off, and an artisanal 90 kilo dress made of actual porcelain pieces chipped the runway as the mode walked it. Martens’ approach to tailoring leaned deliberately raw, suits embossed in leather pieces featured unfinished hems, elsewhere there were timeworn textures, pieces covered in tights and destroyed tapestries.
And while there were unmistakable echoes of Martin Margiela in the approach, Martens’ signature was everywhere: in the intricate textile manipulations, sculptural draping, and trompe l’oeil effects that blurred the line between illusion and reality. The show closed with an actual Edwardian painting that was made into a dress without actually cutting into it, it looks like the Belgian designer is finding his foot at the beloved Maison.

Kent&Curwen’s 100th anniversary show is all about climbers – not the social kind, though they certainly look the part.
Kent&Curwen might well be one of the most exciting brands coming out of England right now. Under Chief Creative Officer Daniel Kearns, the best of prep is found by looking inward – to the country’s own history. Marking the brand’s centenary, the show presented this week in London drew inspiration from the Night Climbers of Cambridge, a secret society from the 1930s.
As a starting point, Kearns turned to the ringleader of the cult nocturnal group of nonconformists, also known as Wipplesnaith, celebrating a way of seeing the world from a different vantage point. The Night Climbers were changemakers, dapper rebels whose attitude translated seamlessly into style codes that shaped Kent&Curwen’s latest collection.
That manifested in unexpected Britishisms: outerwear that felt equally primed for country pursuits and after-dark escapades, slimmer silhouettes in suiting and trousers, reimagined trench coats, and accessories laced with a sense of humour. Not just a celebration of the past 100 years, but a compelling north star for the century ahead.
Drew Henry is Courrèges new Creative Director
Drew Henry, a student of Phoebe Philo, joins Courrèges as the artistic director, set to start in May 2026, after three years working as Burberry’s design director under Daniel Lee in London. The news came a week after Nicolas di Felice exited the brand after a successful 5 year tenure (could he be going to Alaïa?). Judging by Henry’s graduate collection at Central Saint Martins and by who he’s learned from since, we are in for a treat!
What’s inside Jeremy Allen White’s LV bag?

Renée Rapp and Stella McCartney are nostalgia-maxxing
If you were a fashion-obsessed kid in the 2010s, there’s no doubt you dreamed of owning a Stella McCartney Falabella bag at some point. Slouchy, capacious, ever so rocker-girl approved, covered in chains and good conscience – it was one of the first vegan bags to truly make headlines. And now, it seems she’s ready to re-enter our sights. Fronted by generational darling Renée Rapp, Stella McCartney’s latest campaign taps into that exact brand of muscle memory, and is a stellar showcase of nostalgia done right.
Coachella weekend? Gimagua’s pop up is desert-ready

Golden Goose teases the summer with Selfridges pop-up
With the spring in full bloom, this April, the corner shop at Selfridges is transformed into something reminiscent of an Italian market, where you can personalise your Golden Goose RTW, accessories and sneakers, attend workshops where you can learn everything from making sculptural fruit bouquets to textile printing, and even get a summer fruit smoothie after.
Did Kickers just release the shoe of the summer?
Business in the front and easy in the back, Kickers introduces their new Kick Mule, a more casual take on their classic Kick Hi silhouette, easy to slip in and out from. Is this the shoe we are about to see everywhere this summer?
