Enter La Maison de KENZO, the Parisian home of founder Kenzo Takada.

For the Fall/Winter 2026 campaign, Artistic Director NIGO returns to La Maison de KENZO, the Parisian residence once home to the brand's founder. This intimate space forms the heart of the lookbook, an invitation for viewers to step inside and absorb a simple message: the truest brand heritage is a life that stays vibrant. Photographer and director Laura Jane Coulson leads the shoot, with Lukita Maxwell and Nico Hiraga cast as its leads. Together they read, wander through the rooms, and invent small games between shots. The visual language leans toward realism throughout, one that lets architecture, nature, and people share the frame in quiet balance.

That same relaxed, unguarded spirit runs through the clothing. NIGO threads classic elements together with a contemporary edge, and pulls a key reference from an embroidered organza skirt in KENZO's Spring 1994 collection, its floral motifs reborn in a fresh silhouette. Denim shirts, baseball jackets, sharp tailoring, and Chinese knot buttons sit side by side, a natural extension of KENZO's long-standing embrace of multiculturalism. The garments move with ease in front of the lens, much like the models who wear them, and drive home a final point: identity is no fixed label. It builds itself from the experiences a life accumulates.

Graphpaper has released its Fall/Winter 2026 collection, "Fieldwork." The season spans both menswear and womenswear, and each line draws heavily from the silhouettes, fabrics, cuts, and details of military and workwear archives. Rather than subvert these references, Graphpaper treats them as a foundation, one it reworks into a modern vocabulary true to the brand's own philosophy.

The womenswear line honors the feminine form. Casual cuts meet knitwear with quiet confidence, while a structured camel coat offsets loose, pleated trousers for a study in contrast. The menswear line applies the same design instincts to wardrobe staples: outerwear, formal pieces, knitwear, shirting, and trousers all carry the collection's utilitarian thread. Function drives the details throughout. Jackets integrate shoulder straps for hands-free wear. 3D pockets expand storage without added bulk. Knitted gloves clip securely to scarves for easy, practical wear.

The full "Fieldwork" collection arrives in stores and online at Graphpaper's official site this August. Watch this space for more.

Seoul-based brand SAN SAN GEAR unveiled its Spring/Summer 2027 collection in an exclusive showroom during Paris Fashion Week. The collection, themed "Soft Focus," draws inspiration from individuals with distinctive personal tastes and addresses the contradictions of our time: people are often expected to play multiple roles and bear multiple responsibilities in different groups such as family, friends, and workplace. SAN SAN GEAR seeks to create an escape, thus giving rise to the concept of "Soft Focus." In a world where everything is required to be perfectly clear, "Soft Focus" creates a deliberately blurred moment—a space offering psychological respite.

This season's apparel blends SAN SAN GEAR's signature technological aesthetic with a casual feel, emphasizing uniqueness through contrasting fabric textures. Brick red and green accents inject a light and energetic vibe into the overall look. Casual fabrics like cotton and knitwear are cleverly paired with functional fabrics such as nylon and polyester in the same outfits, highlighting the characteristics of each material through this contrast. The "soft focus" concept is fully embodied in the design techniques: the two sides of the same fabric are intentionally used alternately, creating a striking contrast in texture and other visual effects, thus showcasing the coexistence of different functions and characteristics within the same fabric. Furthermore, more casual pieces also incorporate functional details and structural elements, continuing SAN SAN GEAR's performance aesthetic.
