The world's most coveted trophy was presented to Spain, who won the final against Argentina. Carlos Alcaraz wears a Louis Vuitton beige silk-cashmere single-breasted suit, a white shirt and beige LV Jazz Loafers. Hoyeon wears a Louis Vuitton pink satin braid embroidered dress with keyhole from Cruise 2027 Collection with a pair of brown leather Sneakerina. Created by Louis Vuitton's artisans, the new Trophy Trunk was created in the historic workshops of Asnières-sur-Seine, near Paris. This exceptional object is covered by the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, showcasing two front panels adorned with a golden "V" – for "Victory" and "Vuitton" – painted to recall the trophy's colors. The exterior is finished with leather trim, known as “lozines”— Louis Vuitton's signature borders — along with gold-plated brass corner protectors, a lock, and clasps that echo those that have been used on Louis Vuitton trunks since the 1860s. The interior of the Trophy Trunk is lined with light beige leather, and a patch featuring the partnership logo between Louis Vuitton and FIFA is integrated into the lid. Since its historic partnership with the America's Cup in 1983, Louis Vuitton has maintained close ties with the greatest international sporting competitions. In the world of football, the House has been creating the FIFA World CupTM Trophy Trunks for the past 16 years, transporting the trophy around the world for the FIFA World Cups in South Africa (2010), Brazil (2014), Russia (2018) and Qatar (2022), thus celebrating “Victory travels in Louis Vuitton”.

Yuima Nakazato FW26 Couture Show video www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUomaDgfo74 Flames born from human hands Flames that engulf all Flames that sink into the depths of the ocean In this world, the opposing elements, water and fire, hold different powers. Fire—brings light and warmth, broadening the possibilities of life, yet also burns whole lands, possessing the power to decimate life itself. Water—the source of life, a precious resource in danger of reaching its limits, also brings uncontrollable disasters, growing ever more intense in the modern age. While both are essential to human survival, each is a source of great fear. Yuima Nakazato  Designer’s Message The Canary Islands, located off the African continent, facing the vast Atlantic Ocean... Millions of years of volcanic eruptions beneath the ocean gave birth to the rocky terrain of these islands. The coastline is an unbroken stretch of arid lava rock. As I gazed at the waves below from the cliffs of black lava rock, each crashing swell sent shockwaves resonating through my body. The waters are so deep that even the strong sunlight striking the ocean's surface is swallowed by the darkness below. At night, I returned to the same place. This time, the waves shimmered in the moonlight—enormous black masses repeatedly crashing against the cliffs before vanishing again, like vicious black flames in motion. Fire and water are fundamentally opposed. Yet, just as they seem to transform beneath the light of the sun and the moon, I came to see them as two inseparable, complementary forces within a single whole. This idea of “duality” became the foundation of the collection title, Sea of Fire INFERNO. To express these paired yet opposing forces, I drew inspiration from monogi, a traditional costume changing technique in Noh and Kyogen theatre, in which performers change garments in full view of the audience. Monogi is often used to depict a character's transformation into a demon or to signify the passage of time within a performance. Likewise, the Japanese kimono is constructed entirely from rectangles, yet it can assume countless forms depending on how it is worn. Its patterns also carry meaning, stories, and prayers. Inspired by the nature of the kimono, five performers wear garments of the same construction. As each piece changes from blue to red, it takes on an entirely different presence. Our signature ceramic dress, “Fragile Armor,” which we have presented over the past couple of years, also embodies this sense of duality. Traditionally, armor exists to protect the human body while symbolizing conflict. By creating armor from fragile ceramic, I seek to redefine what armor can represent. Like “Fragile Armor,” the transition from blue to red, from surface to underlying meaning, reveals the essence of duality.  As the sole Japanese couture Maison on the official Paris Haute Couture Week calendar, this July 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of YUIMA NAKAZATO presenting on the Haute Couture Week Calendar, Over the past decade, we have continued to push the boundaries between fashion and contemporary art through experimental initiatives that combine cutting-edge technology, advanced materials, and new approaches to garment-making with a focus on reducing environmental impact, stated YUIMA NAKAZATO. He adds that for him, It is an honor to present my newest collection, INFERNO, at this milestone. Through our partnership with Epson, the Dry Fiber Technology we have developed together since 2023 continues to evolve, transforming discarded clothing into new materials. For this collection, YKK joins the collaboration between YUIMA NAKAZATO and Epson, resulting in the successful creation of fasteners made from upcycled discarded garments.  Using photographs I captured of the ocean on the island of Tenerife, digitally rendered imagery transforms the blue sea into red fire. Epson's digital textile printing technology brings these images to life on the garments while significantly reducing water and energy consumption compared with conventional printing methods. Every season, I find inspiration through travel and by immersing myself in diverse natural landscapes. Each place carries its own culture and history, becoming the starting point for my creations. To share that point of origin, we have embarked on a new collaboration with muRata: a photobook embedded with an IC chip that automatically opens a dedicated website when accessed with a smart device, revealing written reflections alongside the collection film, he concludes.

A sun-faded palette, archival graphics and athletic codes come together with calm, everyday silhouettes. From pared-back essentials and track sets to lightweight utilitarian pieces, the collection is built on the free combination of its elements. Considered cuts allow each piece to be worn in different ways, while the color palette and fits lend themselves to layering.

Frozen Eden by Celia Kritharioti AW26-27 prestented at Galerie Vendôme, Paris  Paris, France - Time stands perfectly still - symbolised with frozen crystals and snow flakes as part of the show. The fruit has been plucked, the choice has been made, and an immediate, magnificent freeze has swept across the garden. Every petal, every leaf, and every forbidden desire has instantly calcified into an empire of white and silver ice. They have been transformed into crystals like tears that froze before they had the chance to fall. Yet, within this frozen landscape, a new narrative unfolds: an eclectic game of hide and seek between shadow and light, innocence and temptation.  One of many VIP front-row guests was star JLo, who stunned in bespoke haute couture gown by Celia Kritharioti. All images all rights reserved 2026 Celia Kritharioti.   Black velvet represents the night and its mystery. Red stands for the forbidden fruit, temptation, and passion. Gold symbolizes lost divinity. White reflects innocence before the Fall. Silver is ice, moonlight, and eternity. The Celia Kritharioti silhouette becomes the ultimate playground for this subversion. Micro-fine, fluid sheers and delicate white laces play with transparency, teasing the eye and offering a breathtaking glimpse of skin before retreating into the deep mystery of midnight-black velvet. It is a visual whisper—a sophisticated dance of concealment and reveal where the fabric itself plays the game. This pristine landscape is sharply punctuated by the true catalyst: a dangerous, intoxicating red that flows through the collection like liquid fire through snow. Glittering with gold thread and liquid-silver beadwork, the collection is adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals that catch the light like tears of passion, frozen the exact moment they fell from divinity.  There are no victims, no villains, no winners, and no losers. There is only the supreme power of the feminine. The women of this collection move through the snow like mythical sovereigns who do not regret their choice. They do not abandon Eden; they conquer it, transforming a frozen world into a kingdom entirely their own.

KÉVIN GERMANIER REFINES UPCYCLED CARAN D'ACHE PENCILS FOR PARIS HAUTE COUTURE WEEK  All images all rights reserved 2026. Paris, France - Following an initial creation for his haute couture debut, an exclusive collection, and a series of unique pieces, Caran d'Ache pencils are once again finding their way into the world of Swiss designer Kévin Germanier. For his Autumn/Winter 2026/2027 haute couture collection, presented during Paris Haute Couture Week, three spectacular silhouettes are being created from upcycled Caran d'Ache pencils. For his haute couture collection Les Sulfureuses, Kévin Germanier continues his creative exploration of upcycling, once again integrating Caran d'Ache pencils into his designs. The Geneva-based fashion house provided him with approximately 5,000 pencils with minor imperfections, which were transformed into extraordinary couture creations in his Paris atelier. Each pencil was cut in half, sharpened by hand and carefully painted before being individually placed on the bodices of three spectacular silhouettes: a dress in delicate pink and neon yellow, a bright pink dress and the wedding dress as the crowning finale of the show. The fluorescent accents – a characteristic feature of Kévin Germanier's style – enter into a fascinating dialogue with the pencils, forming sculptural bodices. Three artisans worked with the utmost precision on each creation, inserting every single pencil by hand. At first glance, the origin of the materials remains hidden. Only upon closer inspection do the pencils reveal themselves, seamlessly integrated into the silhouettes thanks to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Germanier workshops. This transformation embodies Kévin Germanier's creative approach, which elevates upcycling to an independent artistic form of expression. This fashion show marks another chapter in the creative collaboration between Caran d'Ache and Kévin Germanier. In January 2025, a first creation using Caran d'Ache products launched this creative dialogue to celebrate the Swiss designer's haute couture debut. A few months later, the joint collection Caran d'Ache + Kévin Germanier – Les Fulgureuses – followed, born from the creative exchange between the two houses. Subsequently, nine unique pieces were auctioned, impressively showcasing the craftsmanship and savoir-faire of both houses. With Les Sulgureuses, Kévin Germanier once again demonstrates the creative potential of Caran d'Ache pencils, giving them a striking second life on the haute couture runways.

By Nermin A, Editor Paris, France -- With his latest couture show presented on the final and closing day of Paris Fashion Week, Rami Al Ali delves into a topic that was a red thread in a number of shows presented this season. However, Rami Al Ali does so with an unmatched optimism and lightness in his collection that represents a new dawn: after a great shift, perhaps a link to the very situation that the Syrian-born designer sees his country going through with increased international attention and reopening of diplomatic relations for the good of people living inside and outside its borders. This collection holds very personal, as always, and very truthful storytelling about the forces that shaped the cultural landscape of the Arab world for centuries, cultural strength and heritage that unites the Gulf, Syria, positioned on the historic, crucial Silk Road, shaping the rich relationships and heritage and links to beyond. The collection adapts these links as invisible threads woven into each look with intent and precision that reflects enormous discipline, dedication and artisanship of the Arab society, its architecture, trade, poetry, music, and collective memory, as the show notes highlight. Threads of Light is imbued with colours and inspiration from the shimmer and tones of the earliest sunrise—when the desert glows like liquid gold. This warmth combined with the immersive colours of the waters of the Gulf, Rami Al Ali’s base day to day, sets the scene for the show that consists of mostly monochrome and refined luminous textures, that again - balance architectural precision with effortless fluidity. Sculpted yet softened and light in the movement, his intricate couture is adorned with delicate embroidery across the body... Each look evokes the changing colours of the horizon, Soft sands and warm ivory tones to golden amber, sunlit champagne, and subtle metallic reflections.

The couture show represents a unique meeting of sartorial tradition and contemporary culture, redefining the dialogue between couture and urban style.

Watch here ZUHAIR MURAD’S FALL 2026 COUTURE RUNWAY SHOW By Nermin A., Editor Paris, France - Jennifer Lopez made a show-stopping appearance at the ZUHAIR MURAD Fall 2026 Runway Show. For the occasion, the global superstar selected a sculptural ivory jacket adorned with intricate crystal embroidery and cinched by an oversized black bow, paired with a matching fully beaded fringe skirt from the ZUHAIR MURAD Couture Spring 2025 collection  COUTURE FALL 2026 Love and Dominion For his Autumn 2026 Couture collection, Zuhair Murad envisions a heroine who has refused to surrender, - In a reality that is collapsing she emerges unbroken and magnificent. Zuhair Murad woman continues to write her own legend, leaving her footprints as a trail for her fierce sisters to follow her... Hers is a beauty that never seeks attention, yet one that is impossible to ignore. Her self-mastery is absolute. She embodies two natures. She loves with complete abandon, yet never loses herself. She gives freely, without counting the cost, yet preserves a part of herself within a secret garden. She moves through an imagined world of ice castles that never melt and forests where the wind whispers of ancient legends. These landscapes become an extension of her soul. Embroidery becomes the visual expression of this tension, precious yet enigmatic, radiant yet deliberate. Dark fabrics suddenly reveal unexpected flashes of light. Flights of nightjars, rendered as either appliqués or sculptural reliefs, scatter across the black tulle of a ball gown, their once-ominous silhouettes transformed into graceful companions, turning superstition into beauty and darkness into strength. Three-dimensional rose brambles shimmer with frost, their crystal embroidery sparkling across the black crepe of a fitted jacket before spilling over a dramatic corolla neckline and winding around the sleeves and waist. Their vivid colors come alive against the fabric's nocturnal backdrop. Wrought iron is reimagined as a delicate trompe-l'oeil, suggesting escape rather than confinement. The structured opulence of velvet, crepe, radzimir, and duchesse satin contrasts with the weightless delicacy of silk chiffon. Feathers, fashioned into stoles, muffs, or intricate embroidery, lend their strength to this muse, who could take flight at any moment, yet chooses instead to glide effortlessly over every obstacle in her path. Every silhouette is infused with dramatic intensity, yet never crosses into theatrical excess. The color palette explores the many shades of winter, deepening their aura of mystery. Profound black, fir green, and rich wine tones unfold in a spectrum ranging from the palest hues to the deepest, most sumptuous shades, at times flowing across pale pink tulle in delicate embroidered trails.
 ECHOING THE SPIRIT OF A NEW “GILDED AGE”, WHERE SPECTACLE, WEALTH, AND VISIBILITY DOMINATE THE SURFACE, VIKTOR&ROLF EXAMINES WHAT LIES BENEATH.
GILDED AGE 2.0 For Autumn/Winter 2026, Viktor&Rolf explore a fundamental tension: restraint versus decadence. The collection is built as a series of exact doubles. One rendered in opulence, the other in austerity. Gold and burlap, decadence and restraint, articulate two extremes of the same form. Silhouettes are identical, yet their materiality transforms their meaning. On stage, this duality unfolds like a universal dream, where two women move in perfect synchrony within a bedroom-like setting. Dressing and undressing repeat in a continuous loop, their mirrored gestures embodying the collection’s central tension. Yet beneath the contrasts, gold and burlap become different expressions of the same human reality. Beneath every layer of adornment or discipline lies the same fragile humanity — exposed, enduring, and profoundly shared.
