Editor's Picks: Channel the allure of metallics
Metallics have always been fashion's ultimate showstoppers—dazzling, reflective, and impossible to ignore. With every shimmer and gleam, they've mirrored the spirit of their era. From the liquid silvers and golds that lit up Hollywood's Golden Age to the high-octane glitz of '70s disco and the unapologetic glamour of the '80s, metallics have long signalled confidence, spectacle, and allure.
For Pre-Fall 2025, metallics did not shy away from the spotlight; in fact, they returned bolder than ever. No longer just about shine for shine's sake but now they are sculpted, textured, and multidimensional. Think fluid lamé twisted into sharp silhouettes, shiny knits that catch the light with every movement, and duo-tone finishes that shift in hue depending on the angle. Mixing equal parts artistry and attitude, this new wave of metallics proves that excess, when refined, can feel fresh, modern, and exhilarating. Because when it comes to fashion, a little glimmer is never quite enough.
On the runways, this resurgence appeared in striking reveals. Rick Owens showcased a crinkled gold foil dress that balanced texture and form; Schiaparelli offered a surreal pair of silver, toe-engraved mules; Diesel amplified impact with mirror-like chrome stilettos; Saint Laurent punctuated looks with a pair of resin-encrusted gold earrings; Self-Portrait showed a sculptural gleaming gold arm candy; Sportmax delivered a liquid-like sequin top that shimmered with every step and Rabanne reimagined denim through a reversed dip-dyed silver-coated pair of pants. These are just the few pieces from the edit that demonstrates how metallics can be both wearable and conceptually bold, paying homage to past moments while forging a fresh sensibility.
Whether you prefer a hint of glimmer or crave a full-on reflective statement, these selections show how to weave the metallic allure into your wardrobe. Below, explore Vogue Singapore's curated lineup of metallic pieces from this season.

The best street style from the Paris men's spring/summer 2026 shows
Runway devotees, rejoice—menswear season is upon us. Following the undeniable high of the Milan men's fashion week last week, it's finally the French capital's turn to shine. As fashion insiders, designers, and a constellation of A-list stars flood Paris for the men's 2026 spring/summer shows, its streets are transformed into a living runway. Inaugurating the season was Saint Laurent, as creative director Anthony Vaccarello took over the Bourse de commerce with a collection brimming with pastels and this season's penchant for legs. Never one to miss an opportunity to integrate music, art, and style, Pharrell Williams presented his sixth collection for Louis Vuitton in collaboration with Studio Mumbai, led by architect Bijoy Jain, atop a massive wooden runway inspired by the ancient Indian game of Snakes and Ladders. Set against the architectural backdrop of the Place Georges-Pompidou, the collection draws inspiration from India's rich cultural tapestry, blending artisanal finesse with sun-drenched luxury. From pleated trousers, striped coats, and embellished workwear to bags and jeans decorated with elephants and palm trees, the collection took us on a sensory journey through India. To amplify the experience, the show's star-studded soundtrack—which featured the likes of A. R. Rahman, Clipse, Doechii, and Tyler, the Creator—was also composed by Williams himself, where he made sure to showcase his love for music and fashion. With day one done and dusted, there's plenty more to come—with the likes of Dries Van Noten, Jacquemus, and Kenzo set to present their menswear collections over the next few days. Not to forget the highly anticipated Dior men's show, which marks Jonathan Anderson's debut collection after being appointed as the creative director for the maison. And what would fashion week be without its equally glossy street style? Attendees have been putting their very best forward despite the sweltering Parisian heat. Think denim co-ord sets, along with eye-catching printed tops and hats. It's no surprise, however, that some of our favourite A-listers have also been spotted like Beyonce, J-Hope, Spike Lee, BamBam and more. Below, scroll through some of the best street style from the spring/summer 2026 shows of Paris men's fashion week, as photographed by Phil Oh.

Design reissues are 2025's biggest interiors trend
Some of the most coveted furniture designs today were created decades ago, their enduring appeal untouched by trends old and new. As homeowners look to timeless pieces that continue to make a statement, a new wave of iconic mid-century and modernist designs have been brought back into production with faithful reverence, meticulous precision and, often, a touch of sustainable innovation. Much like fashion's archival revival, these design reissues carry a certain sense of pedigree, drawn up by some of the biggest names in the industry. Earlier this year, the 63rd edition of the acclaimed Milan Design Week saw the reveal of many of such pieces. Saint Laurent brought back four pieces by pioneering 20th-century designer Charlotte Perriand—three created for her own home and one for a diplomat's residence, all of which have previously been unseen until now. Phantom Hands also revived a collection of works by acclaimed architect Geoffrey Bawa, known for his distinct way of weaving classic modern simplicity with unique Sri Lankan flair. In today's homes, these celebrated designs are conversation starters, subtle centrepieces and for those in the know, the marks of a tastemaker. Below, we round up the most coveted design reissues of the season.
