A.L.C. Resort 2027 Collection
Resort season is a bit of a nebulous brief for designers, who are tasked with offering everything from pieces for tropical getaways to holiday parties and anything in between. But Andrea Lieberman isn’t just concerned with the occasionwear. “For us, it just seems right—in both business and customer—leaning into wardrobing,” she said. “Instead of this…
Read MoreKenzo Resort 2027 Collection
Last season, Kenzo artistic director Nigo leaned more fully into the brand founder Kenzo Takada’s legacy, presenting the collection in the designer’s home—a Japanese oasis in the heart of Paris—where he lived for more than 15 years. As my ever-astute colleague Luke Leitch observed at the time: “Change in the air at Kenzo.” Back at…
Read MoreNo. 21 Resort 2027 Collection
For resort, Alessandro Dell’Acqua dipped back into his bag of tricks, tweaking the recipe rather than reinventing it. In today’s retail climate, he argued, customers need a reason to walk into stores, but not so much novelty that they lose sight of what they came for. The balance lies somewhere between surprise and familiarity: a…
Read MoreTom Ford Pre-Fall 2026 Menswear Collection
Haider Ackermann’s talent for conjuring atmosphere in fashion is so powerful that he once held a menswear collection in almost total darkness, explaining that he wanted us to “smell the clothes.” The result was pretty much universally adoring industry applause. Over a decade later at Tom Ford, the designer’s presentation format for commercially essential pre-collections…
Read MoreOfficine Générale Resort 2027 Collection
When Pierre Mahéo and his team puts a pre-collection together, they do it with a see-now-buy-now mindset. That came in especially handy this week, as the Officine Générale spring pre-collection was presented during the biggest, earliest heatwave Paris has seen in modern meteorological history. “It’s always a very particular exercise,” Mahéo said of the process.…

Read MoreTory Burch Resort 2027 Collection
Anderson .Paak wore a pair of white patent Reva flats from Tory Burch to the Met Gala. Burch had nothing to do with the rest of the musician’s outfit, which included a star embroidered jacket, oval shades, and his trademark wig, but she probably approved of its eclecticism. At an appointment, she said her new…
Read MoreVeronica Beard Resort 2027 Collection
On the eve of their resort 2027 collection “Shape Shifter,” sisters-in-law Veronica Swanson Beard and Veronica Miele Beard are preparing to christen their first Paris outpost (and 50th store worldwide) on the prestigious Rue François-I. And what better time to head to the City of Light than with a collection rife with tweed? This latest…
Read MoreMonse Resort 2027 Collection
A newer Monse has arrived. While designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim will make their official return to the runway this fall, this resort collection serves as a firm indicator of where the two want to take the brand next. “Laura and I are masculine and feminine in everything we do,” said Garcia. Whereas those…
Read MoreStine Goya Resort 2027 Collection
Stine Goya put her green thumb to use in her blooming resort offering. “This collection is about the rose, but not the rose as a decoration,” she stressed over Zoom. “We wanted to try and understand what happens when you look at something very familiar until it reveals something entirely new.” Goya isn’t breaking new…
Read MoreNili Lotan Resort 2027 Collection
What does the Nili Lotan customer wear for New Year’s Eve? The designer thinks a tailored military coat, perfectly slouchy jeans, and a pointy-toe Western boot will do. Lotan is largely unconcerned with occasionwear. “Normally I would think, ‘What am I wearing to New Year’s?’” she explained at her Tribeca showroom. “I phased out of…
