COS Unveils SS26 in Seoul, Balancing Structure and Fluidity

/

COS Unveils SS26 in Seoul, Balancing Structure and Fluidity Presented on March 25,  COS’ Spring Summer 2026 show marks the brand’s first runway presentation in South Korea. Staged in Seoul after several seasons across Europe and consecutive appearances at New York Fashion Week, the show signals a continued expansion of COS’s global presence while refining its evolving design language. Set within a brutalist space on the outskirts of the city, the scenography established a stark and geometric atmosphere. Empty swimming pools formed a surreal architectural landscape, while a soundscape inspired by the Seoul subway system grounded the show in the city’s rhythm. The result was an environment where structure and movement coexisted, mirroring the collection itself. Across forty looks, the palette remained controlled and cohesive. Slate grey, warm browns, cream and white created a sense of tonal harmony, punctuated by accents of blue and deep oxblood to introduce depth. The effect was one of quiet uniformity, where variation emerged through nuance rather than contrast.  Materiality played a central role. Leather and technical fabrics were combined with precision to shape sculptural silhouettes and deliberate draping. Linen introduced texture, while sheer and transparent layers revealed the body in motion. Light, airy fabrics moved freely, softening the collection’s architectural foundation with a sense of ease. In this balance between rigidity and fluidity, COS continues to explore a space where minimalism becomes expressive. The Seoul show does not disrupt the brand’s identity, but rather sharpens it, suggesting that its future lies in the careful negotiation between structure, sensation and movement. A selection of the garments are available in COS stories and at their website.  Images courtesy of COS

Rörstrand x Zoégas – Timeless Craft, Inspired by Women

/

Rörstrand x Zoégas – Timeless Craft, Inspired by Women Rörstrand, one of Europe’s oldest porcelain manufacturers, is celebrating an extraordinary 300-year anniversary. Throughout the year, the brand is reviving some of its most beloved classics, reimagining them in new forms and, in some cases, through collaborations with equally iconic partners. One of the most talked-about collaborations right now is Rörstrand x Zoégas. This partnership unites not only two historic Swedish brands but also the enduring legacies of two pioneering and inspiring women whose influence continues to resonate across generations. As Zoégas celebrates its 140th anniversary this year, the collaboration thus embodies a remarkable 440 years of combined heritage. In an exclusive collaboration celebrating Rörstrand’s 300th and Zoégas’ 140th anniversaries, two historic Swedish brands unite, with taste, craftsmanship, design, and female entrepreneurship taking center stage. A limited-edition coffee, visually defined by Rörstrand’s iconic Mon Amie pattern, has been launched. This 2026 anniversary edition is the result of a close collaboration between the two brands – a meeting of Swedish cultural heritage rooted in a shared passion for craftsmanship, quality, and innovation. At the heart of the collaboration are Marianne Westman and Maria Zoéga, two pioneering women of their time. In different industries but with a shared determination, they challenged conventions, shaped their respective fields, and built legacies that continue to define the brands today. Porcelain and coffee naturally converge around the table, a space for gathering, sharing moments, and elevating everyday experiences through taste and design. This collaboration harmonizes aesthetics and flavor, enriching the ritual of coffee. Mon Amie – Timeless Design for Meaningful Moments Mon Amie, one of Rörstrand’s most beloved collections, is a symbol of friendship, warmth, and togetherness. Designed by Marianne Westman during a rainy Midsummer’s Eve, when she was in her early twenties, and launched in 1952, the name, which means “my friend” in French, captures its essence perfectly. Mon Amie is a tribute to relationships and everyday rituals. It imbues every moment, from intimate gatherings to celebratory occasions, with beauty and lasting memories. In the shared pioneering spirit of Marianne Westman and Maria Zoéga, Rörstrand and Zoégas are also supporting female entrepreneurship in Colombia. Today, women remain underrepresented in coffee farming. This initiative aims to increase their participation by introducing flower corridors for pollinators, which not only improve crop yields but also create new opportunities for women farmers to diversify their income. Since the launch of the coffee tin featuring Rörstrand’s classic Mon Amie pattern, the response has been overwhelming. Originally created to celebrate Rörstrand’s 300-year anniversary, the tin has captured hearts and sparked renewed interest in the iconic design. While Rörstrand and Zoégas are yet to announce when or where additional editions will be available, the enthusiasm has inspired the brands to explore the possibility of creating a version that could become a lasting part of their collection. It’s a reminder that timeless design, thoughtful collaboration, and shared heritage continue to resonate and that even small moments, like enjoying a cup of coffee, can carry a piece of history with them.www.zoegas.se

Kate Moss for the Gucci Borsetto

images courtesy Gucci Kate Moss for the Gucci Borsetto Gucci introduces a new campaign that turns its attention to the instinctive pull between a person and the bag they carry. At the center is Kate Moss with the Borsetto, photographed by Mert and Marcus in a series of portraits that focus on presence, texture and the quiet authority of a classic silhouette. The Borsetto appears in GG Canvas, brown suede and black leather, each version styled to echo the bag’s character through pared‑back Gucci looks. The images strip away distraction, leaving Moss and the Borsetto in a direct, almost intimate frame that highlights the bag’s structure, surface and unmistakable identity. The campaign extends into film directed by Bardia Zeinali, where the Borsetto multiplies and accumulates around Moss, reinforcing the idea that a bag can occupy the mind as much as the wardrobe. Across stills and motion, the Borsetto remains the focal point. Materials, shapes and signatures repeat, returning again and again to the bag that defines the scene.

HUGO SS26: Red Means Go

images courtesy HUGO HUGO SS26: Red Means Go HUGO introduces Red Means Go, a new campaign shaped around a generation choosing ambition on their own terms. Instead of following traditional expectations, the campaign focuses on the moment when doubt becomes momentum and when leaving is the first step toward building something self‑made.   The campaign’s statements and visuals reflect that tension directly. Familiar questions and criticisms appear across billboards and digital platforms, acting as both a mirror of societal pressure and a marker of defiance for those who push past it.   A cast of seven international creatives brings this idea into focus: actors Aaron and Leo Altaras, photographer and director Tereza Mundilová, multidisciplinary artist Cato, music curator Margeaux Labat, curator Temitayo Famakinwa, and DJ Nick Cheo. Each appears in candid films and imagery shot in the spaces where their work takes shape, sharing the moments of doubt that pushed them forward.   The result is a campaign that feels raw and immediate, centered on the realities of early ambition rather than the polished outcome. Red Means Go positions HUGO’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection within that energy, connecting the brand to a generation redefining what ambition looks like today.   The collection is available worldwide in stores, through wholesale partners, and at hugo.com.

An Icon Needs Icons – Chanel J12

/

An Icon Needs Icons – Chanel J12 text Chanel  images courtesy Chanel  Some objects do not seek relevance. They become it through endurance, restraint, and purpose. The Chanel J12 has always been a part of that rare category. A statement beyond the hour, it’s a feeling, a texture, a philosophy worn on the wrist. Unisex by design, it transcends conventional boundaries, meant for anyone who understands the subtle power of presence. With its new campaign, Chanel once again reminds us that true strength does not need to announce itself. It reveals itself over time, appearing wherever confidence meets enduring presence. But how do you bring an icon to commercial life again? How do you make it feel relevant today and resonate as it once did? You simply need icons! I couldn’t think of a better fit than Gisele Bündchen starring in this campaign. Her connection to the house goes back to the 1990s, during Karl Lagerfeld’s era, a time when femininity was being reimagined as powerful, assured, and instinctive. She has always embodied that balance: commanding presence without force, authority without hardness. She does not perform strength; she simply lives it. It is no surprise, then, that she is at the heart of this campaign alongside Clément Chabernaud. His steady presence anchors the story in a modern take on masculinity, and this campaign speaks softly but resonates deeply. It invites reflection—on material, on movement, on the kind of strength that does not need armor. I keep coming back to the J12 because it moves through time with a kind of effortless presence. Softness can be radical. Elegance can be resilient. Icons endure, not by trying to follow the moment, but by staying true to themselves. Watching Gisele and Clément together, it feels as if they are in a deep sea conversation where time has paused. Not contrasts, but parallels. That is what makes it resonate. It is not about gender or spectacle, but about shared values and a sense of inner calm. The new J12 signature, In the Greatest Strength Lies Softness, feels deeply aligned with the object itself. Ceramic that is smoother than silk yet stronger than steel—resistant to time, wear, and expectation. There’s a certain poetry in how the watch reconnects with its original element: water. Calm on the surface, immense beneath. It mirrors the people chosen to wear it. More than twenty-five years on, it still feels contemporary, not because it chases the moment, but because it was created to endure. Perhaps that is its true appeal: it asks nothing of us but to notice, to feel, and to consider what lasting presence really means.

Where the Air Feels Older Than Time

/

Where the Air Feels Older Than Time images courtesy AllTrails Hiking Telemark with AllTrails There is something about arriving in Norway in October. The light feels softer, almost thoughtful, as if the country is already preparing to turn inward for winter. After landing in Oslo, we boarded a bus and travelled about ninety minutes southwest toward Telemark. The city slowly gave way to forest. Roads narrowed. Lakes appeared like mirrors between the trees. By the time we arrived, the air felt different. Sharper. Cleaner. Quieter. Our first stop was Bolkesjö Gaard, resting at the foot of Blefjell mountain. The farm dates back to the thirteenth century. Its oldest building, Årestua, holds timber from the 1220s. Wood that has lived through plagues, unions, wars, harvests, and generations. Standing inside those dark wooden walls, time feels compressed. History is no longer abstract. It breathes. But this trip was not only about stillness or nostalgia. It had a purpose. AllTrails had just launched in the Nordics, and we were there to experience it where it makes the most sense. Out in the landscape itself. Into Telemark Our half day hike took us through the quiet wilderness of Telemark, a region shaped by biodiversity, layered forests, open mountain ridges, and endless lakes. The terrain keeps shifting. Soft moss underfoot. Rocky passages. Open viewpoints where the sky suddenly expands. October in southern Norway is a study in contrast. Deep greens. Burnt orange. Silver water. Crisp blue skies. The kind of air that makes your lungs feel newly installed. It was exactly the retreat I did not know I needed. No notifications. No urgency. Just movement. There is something deeply grounding about walking for hours with one simple goal: follow the path. Why AllTrails So why AllTrails? Because even in a country made for hiking, knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming. AllTrails helps you discover routes based on your level, distance, and terrain. Whether you want a gentle walk by a lake or a more demanding mountain climb, the platform filters options in a way that feels intuitive rather than intimidating. What makes it especially relevant in the Nordics is the scale. There are more than 8,000 trails in Sweden. More than 9,000 across Norway and Denmark. And the number keeps growing. Users can upload and share their own routes, turning hiking into something communal rather than solitary. The map becomes a living document shaped by the people who walk it. The platform offers three membership tiers depending on how advanced your needs are, from simple trail discovery to detailed offline maps and safety features. AllTrails is also a member of 1% for the Planet, reinforcing a commitment to environmental responsibility in a world where exploring nature must go hand in hand with protecting it. Simple Things Between the mountains, forests, and lakes, one thought kept returning: Is this not the best combination? A little history. A few meaningful conversations. Fresh air. Sometimes it really is the simple things. Back at Bolkesjö Gaard in the evening, candlelight reflecting on centuries old timber, it became clear why Scandinavia continues to draw creatives, thinkers, and dreamers north. Nature here is not a backdrop. It is the main character. AllTrails launching in the Nordics feels less like expansion and more like alignment. This region lives outdoors. The app simply helps you enter it with intention. And maybe that is what this trip was really about. Not conquering a mountain.Not chasing performance.Just remembering how good it feels to walk. https://www.alltrails.com/ https://www.bolkesjogaard.no/en/no/historie
