London’s iconic Central Saint Martins college just took graduate fashion to a completely new level.
Breaking tradition for its 2026 show, the legendary institution moved away from campus to host a massive runway inside a Peckham multi-storey carpark.
Out of 135 students, 40 were selected to present zero-boundary, eco-friendly collections to a packed industry crowd.
The jaw-dropping designs ranged from Sophia Layk’s zero-plastic, wood-infused creations to Polina Kadilnikova’s politically charged Ukrainian heritage prints, and Luke Saul's stunning dress entirely hand-sewn from four months' worth of upcycled metal cans.
Axiom Space and Prada unveiled the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) designed to be worn by astronauts inside the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit. Engineered as the high-performance inner layer of the AxEMU, the LCVG is built to protect astronauts from the unforgiving environment of space, when they explore the lunar surface for the first time in more than 50 years. The LCVG collaboration draws on Prada's expertise in design, patternmaking, and advanced materials, resulting in a next-generation garment developed through advanced 3D modeling techniques that maintain cooling and ventilation while enhancing comfort during up to eight-hour spacewalks. Prada's firmly established knowledge of high-performance materials has also supported the identification and sourcing of specialized fibers that allow the garment to be worn repeatedly and comfortably across long-duration missions.
Join Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, on a tour of “Costume Art,” The Costume Institute’s spring 2026 exhibition.
“Costume Art” explores depictions of the dressed body across The Met’s vast collection, pairing garments with artworks to reveal the inherent relationship between clothing and the body.
Focusing primarily on Western art from prehistory to the present, “Costume Art” presents connections between garments from The Costume Institute and objects from the Museum’s other collecting areas. Pairings between fashions and artworks will present a spectrum of connections and experiences: from the formal to the conceptual, the aesthetic to the political, the individual to the universal, the illustrative to the symbolic, and the playful to the profound. These pairings are organized into a series of thematic body types that reflect their pervasiveness and endurance through time and cultures.
“Costume Art” is the inaugural exhibition in the new, nearly 12,000-square-foot galleries adjacent to the Great Hall. This space will display The Costume Institute’s annual spring show and, at times, shows from the Museum’s other curatorial departments, including those that explore the intersection of fashion and art.
Founded in 1846 in Madrid as a small leather workshop, Loewe is the second-oldest luxury fashion house in the world. As we celebrate our 180th anniversary, we honour almost two centuries of craft as an art, imagination as a tool, and a distinct playful spirit.

To design the motifs on the Natures Marines collection’s 34 pieces, Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, artisti directors of the Hermès home universe, called upon illustrator Katie Scott. Inspired by nineteenth-century English botanical illustrations and the marine flora of the Welsh coastline, the British artist meticulously drew the hundred plant species that adorn the porcelain, playing with a palette of thirty vibrant tones: cool greens, mineral beiges, deep oranges and reds.
Set in a motel under a full moon, a short film by Jonathan Glazer drifts between the real and the surreal, as people cross paths and gather into a new future adventure.

New campaign unfolds across Monte Carlo, captured in a series of moments shaped by motion, light, and the spirit of escape. A summer of possibility is framed by Monaco’s cultural aura, long a stage for fashion, glamour, and those always on the move.
Prada Bonnie embodies Prada’s design ethos, rooted in a constant pursuit of innovation, a spirit of unconventionality, and a timeless allure. Bringing its own distinctive character, the bag is an expression of Prada’s ongoing dialogue with modernity, and its ever-evolving fine-tuning to the contemporary pulse. In a new textural vocabulary, raw linen meets natural leather, nodding to an organic sensibility. The artisanal linen painted technique, in which pigment is meticulously hand-applied, yields a singular, one-of-a-kind patina with a subtly worn-in character. Intelligent construction meets functional sophistication, where beautiful, thoughtful design frames versatility and ease.

Prada Home presents Chawan Cabinet, an exhibition by artist Theaster Gates, exploring ceramic vessels, ritual, and the meaning of gathering.
In this conversation, Theaster Gates reflects on a longstanding friendship with Prada, shaped by cultural depth, experimentation, and the interiority of domestic and ceremonial space. From chawan to yunomi, objects move beyond display to become instruments for living, exchange, and connection.
Featuring works developed in collaboration with Japanese potters Taira Kuroki, Yuichi Hirano, Shion Tabata, and Koichi Ohara, the project bridges Italian design, Japanese craft traditions, and Gates’ artistic practice.
