Since the debuts of Louise Trotter, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Meryll Rogge at Bottega Veneta, Fendi and Marni respectively over the last year, there’s been a lot of talk of “women designing for women” in Milan. This is the founding principle of Milanese label Sa Su Phi, which staged a sun-drenched sophomore show at Milan’s Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli...

It was the buzz of Milan Fashion Week: Earlier today, Demna debuted his first runway show for Gucci. The fall 2026 collection, titled “Primavera,” was held inside Milan’s Palazzo delle Scintille, and the show was rife with references to the Italian label’s rich history. (Many looks were reminiscent of the culture-shifting, late ’90s-early aughts Tom Ford era.) On...

Following two digital releases titled “La Famiglia” and “Generation Gucci,” Demna’s runway debut for the Italian house is officially here.What does his “Primavera” vision entail, you might ask? Well, a stacked cast composed of a new generation of digital It kids that form his Gucci archetype. Vivian Wilson, Gabbriette, Alex Consani, Nettspend, Fakemink, and Amelia Gray all walked—alongside...

Pay for It, Part IRiddle me this. You can pay for many things that help you get laid. You can pay for manicures and pedicures, for waxing and sugaring, for lipstick and mascara, for thin-strapped bras and matching thongs. You can pay a club’s cover. You can pay for cocktails that loosen you up, slide you from the...

There was nothing tame about Demna’s fall debut for Gucci. It was apparent from the start that S-E-X was the main message. So it’s no surprise that when the creative director was immersed in what he called the “gucciness of Gucci,” what resonated most was Tom Ford’s sizzling era between spring 1996 through fall 2004, which was defined...

What it means to be a dyke has zigged and zagged a lot since the days of The L Word, and thank goodness it has. In a new monograph, photographer Emily Lipson collects images of 50 different people, shot over five years, who identify as members of the dyke community—among them Evie Saunders, Ama Elsesser, and Louisa Jacobson....

Few fashion labels inspire such dedicated fervor as the house of Prada. Established in 1913 as a Milanese leather goods atelier and reimagined decades later by then-daughter, Miuccia Prada, the brand speaks not just to a woman’s vanity, but to her intellect. It is, as the cliché goes, fashion for the thinking woman. Each season, we can count...

Not all fashion is luxury, and not all luxury is fashion. The two categories of consumables are so often coupled together, like two carriages of a train, that it seems sometimes worth restating.Loro Piana presents on the calendar of Milan fashion week, so it’s partly coupled to the fashion train. Really, however, it is a luxury house that...

Saunders, who died last summer at the age of 90, is most closely associated with his home city of Oakland, but seeing his multimedia paintings in person at David Zwirner in Los Angeles is a reminder of California’s rich and prolific tradition of Black artistry.Where to see it: David Zwirner, 616 N Western Avenue, February 24 to April...

Ilenia Durazzi presented her collection by appointment this season, shelving the art performances she usually favors. Theatrics were relocated to the lookbook, staged in a stark white void punctuated by mounds of black earth, just enough grit to tether the images to reality. The scene was populated by a crowd of artists, musicians, and gallerists, plus a scene-stealing...
