Casall Reclaims Sport Core for SS26 With its SS26 collection, Casall turns to the past to reframe the present, drawing on the visual language of 90s sport core while grounding it in the realities of modern movement. The result is a collection that positions everyday training and wellbeing as something considered, structured and quietly expressive. At the intersection of motion, function and design, the collection is built through deliberate material choices and precise construction. Each piece is developed to support the body without restricting it, balancing technical performance with a sense of ease. There is an emphasis on detail that does not demand attention, but instead reveals itself through wear. The aesthetic reflects this restraint. Clean silhouettes are layered with both technical and tactile materials, creating depth without excess. Subtle detailing anchors the collection in a minimalist framework, while still allowing for a bolder, more defined presence. It is a reinterpretation of 90s references that feels distilled rather than nostalgic. Structured around different modes of movement, the collection adapts to varied rhythms of training and daily life. Running is approached through a cooling comfort concept, where lightweight materials and functional elements respond to intensity. Studio shifts toward a softer, more fluid expression, with layered textures enabling both personal styling and freedom of movement. Gym focuses on durability and support, merging functionality with design to allow for full range of motion. Athleisure extends these principles beyond training, introducing a refined interpretation of everyday wear where elegance and utility coexist. Rather than separating performance from lifestyle, Casall brings them into alignment. SS26 suggests that movement today is not confined to a single space or purpose, but exists across contexts, shaped as much by how we live as by how we train.

Dua Lipa Steps Into Nespresso’s Next Chapter Nespresso has announced Dua Lipa as its new Global Brand Ambassador, marking what the brand describes as a new creative chapter, 40 years after it first changed how people make coffee at home. The choice of Lipa reflects where Nespresso wants to be culturally: she is known not just for her music but for her broader influence across fashion, arts, and media. Beyond recording and touring, she has built platforms around storytelling and creative culture, collaborating across a wide range of artistic disciplines. Nespresso sees those qualities: curiosity, range, a willingness to evolve as a natural fit for the brand.  “She symbolises curiosity, openness, and the courage to always try new things – an energy entirely aligned with the direction we’re taking as a brand,” says Leonardo Aizpuru, CMO, Nespresso For Lipa, the partnership was an easy decision. “I feel as though I’ve grown up with Nespresso,” she says. “There has always been a machine nearby: at home with my family, on recording sets, in hotel rooms. I love how they constantly explore new flavours and new ways to challenge themselves. We’ve already had a lot of fun together, and this is only the beginning.” On April 14th, Nespresso launches Vertuo World – a new global campaign across all platforms led by Lipa. It will also feature a brief appearance from existing ambassador George Clooney, connecting the new direction to the brand’s longer history.

CELINE introduces The Little Half Moon Bag This spring, CELINE introduces  The  Little Half Moon, a new addition to the Soft Triomphe line launched with the Spring 2026 collection, Michael Rider’s first collection for CELINE. With the introduction CELINE continues to refine its visual language through restraint rather than reinvention. First revealed during the Printemps show marking Michael Rider’s debut for the house and later reiterated in the Été presentation, the bag signals a subtle shift toward ease, where structure softens without losing intent. At a glance, the Soft Triomphe resists overt branding. Its magnetized closure, a reduced and integrated version of the Triomphe emblem, moves away from prominence and toward quiet recognition. This scaled down signature suggests a broader recalibration within the house, where identity is carried through proportion, material and gesture rather than statement hardware. Crafted in supple lambskin, the bag balances fluidity with construction. The sewn back technique, rooted in the house’s leatherworking tradition, allows the form to remain both lightweight and durable, preserving its tactile quality over time. It is a study in controlled softness, where each curve feels considered rather than decorative. Offered in two silhouettes, the rounded Besace and the more elongated Half Moon, the line leans into versatility without overcomplication. Both shapes adapt easily to the body, worn crossbody or on the shoulder, aligning with a rhythm of movement rather than occasion. Find The Little Half Moon here  Image courtesy of CELINE

aim’n’a Spring Senses Collection Arrives With Pilates in Mind aim’n’s new Spring Senses collection launches this month with a clear brief: clothes for the growing number of women turning to Pilates, barre, and low-intensity training as a long-term approach to movement rather than a passing trend. The palette reads accordingly: Blush, Ballerina, Dark Clay, shades that feel more like a state of mind than a colour story. Central to the collection is the Sense fabric, soft and flexible in a way that disappears against the body, which is precisely the point. A new one-shoulder bralette introduces a modern silhouette that the brand plans to carry into future collections – a quiet signal that this is less a seasonal offering than a direction. The Ribbed Seamless range expands into Dark Clay, and several styles in both fabrics are built to move seamlessly from studio to street, a line aim’n has been blurring with increasing confidence. Two tops in an entirely new material, Luminous, round out the range. Lightweight and fluid with a semi-matte sheen, the fabric leans into drape and movement, with ruched and draped details at the sleeves and sides that catch the light. There is also a dress in the Sense fabric, designed for everyday wear but cut from the same soft logic as everything else in the collection. The most practical addition may be the most telling: Pilates grip socks, the brand’s first foray into accessories, developed for studio stability. A small thing, but a precise one, the kind of detail that signals a brand paying close attention to how its customers actually live. “Our community is asking for garments that feel soft, flexible and refined, pieces they can wear both in the Pilates studio and at the office,” says CEO and founder Tekla Acs. “This collection is created with exactly that feeling in mind.” Spring Senses is available now at aimn.se and in stores, in sizes XXS–XL.
