Maria McManus Resort 2026 Collection
Earlier this year, Maria McManus began experimenting with lace after coming across an Irish linen tablecloth her Aunt Bibi had made. 'I'm not a super floral crochet person, but I was like 'OK, this is meaningful,'' she said at the time, and three seasons later, it's been a thrill to see how that discovery begat a round of experimentation and pushing of the creative boundaries for the designer. 'I think it allowed me to think about sustainability differently, not being like, 'Oh my God, it has to be recycled,' but that there can be more things to the story.' she explained during an appointment at her Tribeca home which often doubles as a showroom. Artisanal French Dentelle de Calais-Caudry lace, which is 'certified and protected by the French government' continued to play a starring role in her resort collection, trimming slinky slip dresses made from her favorite Naia Renew fabric, and in delicate floral-patterned skirts. But its influence could also be felt elsewhere, as in the light-as-air cardigan knitted with three different floral patterns inspired by the lace itself, or even in the pair of organic cotton jeans with a 'shredded' detail on the waistband and pockets. They were still beautifully finished, and lined in her trademark grosgrain ribbon, but the layers had been left unfinished, fraying—a kind of proof of the handwork that goes into actually making them. But that doesn't mean McManus has stopped her tireless search for new materials and new sustainable technologies. This season she introduced a recycled polyester curly 'shearling,' used on a very cool—and glamorous—long statement coat; and a biodegradable nylon with a scuba-like feel that became extra-long leggings turned-wardrobe-essential thanks to the addition of belt loops(!). 'Most nylon comes from the fossil fuel industry—specifically coal—and can take anywhere from a hundred to a thousand years if not longer to biodegrade,' she explained. 'This is made from a fruit polymer, so it reacts more like a paper or a cotton, and will biodegrade in five years in an industrial landfill. The mill was started by this woman named Regina and she is amazing, everything she does is sustainable in some way.'

Umit Benan Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Umit Benan returned to Via Bigli with more than just a new address: Spring 2026 marks a pivotal moment for the brand, with the opening of its flagship store and the full-scale debut of womenswear. 'It's destiny,' Benan said with a smile. 'I had my first home here in 2005. In 2010 I presented a project with Nino Cerruti in this very same building.' Now supported by D Capital and having welcomed his newborn son just days before the launch, the designer has come full circle, personally and professionally. Regarding the new womenswear, 'we want it to travel on its own,' Benan said. 'It's not about the wife of our man, but a woman with her own character.' Benan found inspiration in a surfer living in Biarritz—an athlete and muse behind the new women's pieces. 'I documented her life for months,' he said, Her easygoing lifestyle shaped the silhouettes: silk robes, fluid pants, terry cloth sets, bathing suits, and nylon raincoats. The result read like a cinematic take on island living: 'Think Point Break,' Benan added. Menswear evolved in parallel, with added focus on fits inspired by the women's line and Japanese denim. 'I wanted our jeans to feel more like Kevin Costner in Yellowstone than runway,' said Benan. Still, proportions retained a precise tension: cropped jackets, elastic-free piqué knits in treated silk, and anthracite gray as the grounding hue tying together both men's and women's offerings. Resortwear also expanded with 'Paradiso,' a new capsule of year-round pieces in faded tones: banana yellow, powder pink, baby blue. 'Paradiso is where I lived in Lugano. It's also my favorite word in Italian,' Benan said, revealing the tattoo etched on his arm. The newly opened store, just a few steps from the showroom, mirrors this intersection of memory and design. Conceived with architect Martin Brûlé, the space draws from Benan's childhood visits to his mother's multi-brand shop in Istanbul and his father's fabric-scouting trips. 'It had to feel lived-in,' the designer said. 'We even serve cocktails and caviar.' Mahogany wood, sand-toned carpets, and artworks curated by gallerist Thaddaeus Ropac (a friend and client) infuse the space with the same layered identity as the clothes. 'What you see here is everything I absorbed between the ages of eight and 13,' Benan said. 'It's my first real memory of fashion.'

Barely half of this generation has seen ‘Jaws,' as Spielberg classic celebrates 50 years
Their cinema knowledge bites! Barely half of Gen Z has seen the original summer blockbuster 'Jaws' compared to nearly 90% of people who came of age when the classic flick hit the silver screen. Steven Spielberg's pulse-pounding shark thriller — which first struck fear into the hearts of beachgoers exactly 50 years ago Friday — has only been viewed by 53% of 18- to 29-year-olds, according to a jaw-dropping new Gallup poll. By contrast, 88% of people over 65 years old have sunk their teeth into the flick, which held the No. 1 box office spot for 14 weeks and was the first film ever to rake in $100 million. 3 Barely half of Gen Z has seen the movie 'Jaws', according to a new poll. AP Pollsters cited no specific reason for why the generation that brought you the word 'cringe,' Crocs-as-fashion and TikTok activism wasn't hip to the movie — but its 2 hour, 10 minute running time might be a hint. Overall, 91% of people ages 50 to 64 and 78% of 30-to-49-year-olds reported seeing the spine-tingling flick, which centers on a massive man-eater that unleashes chaos on Long Island beach town. When the movie was released on June 20, 1975, it made giant waves in the US with viewers saying it scared them away from the water and increased their fear of sharks. The film was such a hit with young people at the time, a whopping 40% of 18-to-29-year-olds said they'd seen it by the end of summer 1975, according to a Gallup poll taken that year. 3 A total of 78% of Americans reported seeing 'Jaws' as of May 2025. AP At the time, 18% of viewers called it 'the most frightening movie' they had ever seen and 35% said the movie increased their fear of swimming in the ocean, according to the poll. 3 The classic movie stoked fears about sharks and swimming in the ocean. AP The more recent poll, conducted in May ahead of the movie's anniversary, notes a total of 78% of all US adults have seen 'Jaws.' It's ultimately not clear if a 53% viewership among Gen Z adults is high or low for a 50-year-old film without more cinema data to compare it to, pollsters said.
