This Berlin Fashion Week, the spotlight shines brightly on sample030 as the avant-garde label unveils its latest Fall/Winter collection 2026 titled "Storm the Block." Embracing the raw energy and undiluted power of street and urban culture, this collection serves as both a tribute and a bold declaration of the city's dynamic spirit. All backstage photos by Thilo Wilcke. Drawing inspiration from blueprint structures and the austere elegance of brutalist architecture, "Storm the Block" skillfully transforms these influences into sharp silhouettes and commanding proportions.

Ferm Living's Bridge system is one part coat rack, one part display piece for your most-worn pieces. Built for versatility, the slim oak beams provide two tiers of storage space, whether you need room for hangers or just a place to hang your hat at the end of the day. It's nearly five feet high, meaning none of your beloved coats will sweep the floor. Its vertical branches would also make sense as a place to display fabrics or hang towels to dry.

I said, 'Fashion Week is no joke.' If the Super Bowl is serious to you, imagine how Fashion Week is to me.

Two women, probably in their sixties, were debating whether to stick with their usual brands or try something new. "I've been using the same foundation for twenty years," one said, "but it just sits in my wrinkles now." Her friend nodded knowingly. "Mine makes me look like I'm wearing a mask." This got me thinking about how the beauty industry has evolved, yet somehow the biggest names-Revlon, Maybelline, CoverGirl-haven't quite caught up with what mature skin actually needs.

The event has its origins in, you guessed it, Burning Man, where a "dark cabaret" band called Rosin Coven built a martini bar in the middle of nowhere, playing sunset happy hour shows all week in the Black Rock Desert. Although some might assume the event is based on the opulence of the Edwardian era, it's actually inspired by costume designer, author and illustrator Edward Gorey, who became known in the 1950s for his black-and-white drawings of ghoulish characters in historical dress.

A new research report launched today by leading retail consumables specialist CCS McLays, in partnership with Retail Economics, has uncovered a £276m hidden cost opportunity in UK fashion retail, driven by widespread mismanagement of Goods Not for Resale (GNFR). The report, From blind spot to retail advantage: How GNFR is reshaping profitability in UK fashion retail reveals that UK fashion retailers could achieve an average 7% reduction in GNFR costs through a more systematic and strategic approach.

Chappell Roan isn't sure why people are clutching their pearls over her 2026 Grammys look. On Feb. 3, the day after the awards show, the singer shared photos from the red carpet on Instagram and responded to the outcry over her dress, which prompted some commenters to ask questions such as "Is this too much?" and "Will she get banned?"

Lots of women are over super masculine men these days.

What I'm doing here is giving you fashion options. What boots should a man, a man who takes some amount of pride in how he looks, own? And sorry to be one note, but I'm also going to tell you to avoid the "trends" here. We're in a vacuum of trends at the moment. I've talked about this in other stories, and I try to avoid talking about it at parties

Here's the thing: jet black or very dark brown hair color might seem like the perfect solution for covering grays, but colorists warn it's actually the one shade women over 50 should think twice about requesting. Colorists explain it perfectly: "Solid dark hair against light skin- all that contrast is not summery, they explain, adding that overlightened hair is not the answer either, as it easily looks washed-out."

The top two in the Women's Super League are facing each other on Sunday with Manchester City aiming to establish a 12-point gap over six-time champions Chelsea. So far this season, Andree Jeglertz's side have asserted their dominance, but what do you make of the respective squads? Who makes your best XI from the two teams?

Instead of the long, insulated puffer coats and jeans I saw on the subway, I was sporting a wool overcoat and leather pants-I instantly stood out. The same goes for many tourists visiting Paris who dress much warmer than necessary (thankfully, we never have serious winter storm warnings here like the recent one in the U.S.) or make fashion faux pas like trying to navigate the city's winding streets teetering in talons hauts (high heels).

GANGSTAAA presents a playful collision of two distinct realms: the edgy essence of street style influenced by rap culture intertwines with a fresh interpretation of Old Hollywood glamour. With a provocatively sarcastic yet charmingly humorous tone, the collection crafts a gangster figure that defies norms and promotes positive change through style and attitude. This line intentionally embraces contrasts, merging urban style with classic elegance while challenging societal expectations without sacrificing sophistication.

Because no one likes to spend precious vacation time ironing, wrinkle-resistant clothing is a travel essential. These easy, low-maintenance pieces are especially ideal if you tend to overpack (and end up with creased clothes) or simply don't want to deal with a travel steamer on the road. Since wrinkle-free fabrics are less prone to creasing, they're also perfect for all-day wear, whether you're stuck in an airplane seat for hours or wandering around a new city from morning to night.

Her pick, the Mali+Lili Gail Vegan Leather Crossbody Bag, isn't just another accessory; it's the kind of piece that keeps you organized on the go while still looking effortlessly chic. It's lightweight, compact, and comes in a rainbow of rich colors in a soft vegan leather material. The bag has multiple compartments, making it perfect for passports, phones, and wallets.

"If it were up to me, I'd take everything I own on the plane. Admittedly, I am an over-packer," she told T+L. "It's also just being a stylist for my whole adult life, you know? All I ever think of is having options and not having the thing you want or not having the thing you need. But when I'm packing for clients or friends, I'm very strategic, and when I'm packing for myself, I'm not strategic at all."

At 55, she has her travel style down to a science-never overdressed, never uncomfortable, and always somehow looking pulled together no matter how early we have to get to the airport. Her secret isn't designer labels or trend-chasing; it's a carefully curated capsule wardrobe of elevated basics that work hard, travel well, and look good from security to baggage claim. If there's one thing she's mastered, it's the art of looking chic without looking like she tried too hard.

On the first day of Berlin Fashion Week, Maqu unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 collection, La Dama del Cacao, a masterful exploration of contemporary Peruvian minimalism. This capsule collection is a testament to material innovation, embodying a thoughtful design philosophy that marries textile memory and regenerative principles. Crafted from luxurious alpaca yarns, organic cotton, and pioneering biomaterials, each piece is a result of meticulous hand-knitting techniques and artisanal machinery.

Nothing feels more like a real-life game of tetris than packing a weekender bag for a short trip. On paper, it sounds easy-you're only gone for a few days, after all. But even well-seasoned travelers know that toiletries, clothes, shoes, and electronics can quickly take up precious bag space. Finding a weekender that fits all these items, while remaining comfortable to carry, can seem impossible.

The earliest jewellery ever discovered wasn't gold or gemstone at all, but fish bones. In prehistoric times, hunters wore bones, teeth and claws from their kills as talismans of luck and prowess. For Italian shoe maestro Giuseppe Zanotti - famous for his sculptural, jewel-encrusted heels - this idea of turning humble scraps into ornamentation has long been second nature; during a seaside dinner in 2004, Zanotti sketched a fish skeleton on a tablecloth.

While Chloe Zhao's Hamnet has been nominated for eight Academy Awards including best picture, for many it's a tiny silver hoop earring worn by Paul Mescal in his portrayal of William Shakespeare that steals the show. Worn in his left ear lobe, the barely-there hoop has people fixated online. Begging my boyfriend to get a tiny hoop earring too, reads one post dedicated to the accessory. I cried for over half of Hamnet, but Paul Mescal's slutty little earring made me feel conflicted, reads another.

Wandsworth Council has approved the fashion brand's plans to modernise and extend two buildings, in Battersea, to support its international growth. The redevelopment means Vivienne Westwood's headquarters will stay in Battersea, which the brand has called home since 1995. The new building will bring together all of the company's departments under one roof as part of a restructuring of the fashion house, while providing more space for the brand's expected growth over the next 15 years.

In September, after a year and some change working in corporate fashion, influencer Hannah Krohne quit her full-time job and made a leap that is becoming increasingly common in the ever-changing world of social media. Krohne, who was previously working in strategy and merchandising for British fashion retailer ASOS, had been posting fashion and lifestyle-related videos online since her sophomore year of college.
