Simonetta Lein on fashion and charity and living the American dream

Through Specula Mundi , Valentino Haute Couture 2026 reactivates an old optical device to question, slowly and solemnly, the very conditions of our way of seeing.

For Spring/Summer 2026, Schiaparelli transforms haute couture into a sensory experience, where emotion takes precedence over form and the imagination soars, free and incandescent.

Invisible yet essential, air becomes the raw material of a collection that transforms creative obstinacy into a horizon for the future.

For four days, Paris becomes the stage for a weightless couture, where historic houses and singular voices outline the contours of spring-summer 2026.

In Paris, Matthieu Blazy designed a radically light Spring-Summer 2026 Haute Couture collection for Chanel, where the essence of the house is expressed with grace.

The American designer presents his Fall/Winter 2026 collection, celebrating his sartorial elegance with a sporty allure under the backdrop of Rodin sculptures. Special guests at the show include Evan Mock, François Arnaud, Joshua Hong, and Teyana Taylor.

For Autumn-Winter 2026-27, Rachel Scott designs the first women's collection for Proenza Schouler and sketches the portrait of a precise but elusive New York woman who transforms rigor into freedom.
