Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme SS26 Blends Dreams, Reality and Human Nature
Yohji Yamamoto, the revered master of avant-garde design, presented hisSpring/Summer 2026Pour Hommecollection at his signature Marais location duringParis Fashion Week. While the venue itself speaks to a comforting continuity, the collection proved to be its stark opposite, delivering a potent blend of iconic Yohji tropes with urgent, messaging that expresses the designer's take on the current state of the world.
The runway was filled with the designer's hallmark aesthetic: silk mosaic patterned robes and relaxed, flowing fits dominated the silhouettes, affirming his enduring commitment to deconstructed elegance and fluid drapery. These pieces embody the timeless ease and sophisticated artistry that define the Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme universe. Yet, woven within this familiar dreamscape were direct and poignant statements. Shirts emblazoned with 'un rêve avec Yohji Yamamoto' (translating to 'A dream with Yohji Yamamoto') appeared, subtly nodding to themes of awakening from slumber or perhaps a surreal journey through consciousness.
Elsewhere, the collection shifted its tone dramatically, becoming a canvas for commentary on the current global landscape. Garments carried stark, impactful phrases such as 'No more wars' and 'Oceans disappears makes humans finished.' These powerful messages serve as a sobering reminder of pressing global issues, transforming the clothing into a medium for critical reflection. This duality—the ethereal dream juxtaposed with stark reality—highlights Yamamoto's unique ability to merge deeply personal artistic expression with a profound awareness of the world's urgent needs.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection from Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme is a compelling dialogue between beauty and activism, a visual poem that invites contemplation while celebrating the freedom of form.

And the stunning Sports Illustrated swimsuit model put together a scrapbook of her favorite pics for the iconic magazine's social media — starting with a happy photo of herself eating fruit, glistening in the sun in a barely-there bikini. 'Your ultimate Ibiza getaway starts here,' SI_Swimsuit captioned the Wednesday, August 13 carousel post.

Zoë Kravitz Curates Her Next High-Low Look Around the Track Shorts Trend
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The hottest summer weeks are nearly here. Before long, even the smallest jean shorts won't protect you from the intense heat. Yesterday, New Yorkers experienced August's weather forecast with a 90° heatwave (which felt like 100°). So, Zoë Kravitz pulled out the most nostalgic track shorts: summer 2024's reigning shorts trend. I haven't worn the polyester-blend bottoms since seventh-grade gym class, but Kravitz (with help from her stylist, Danielle Goldberg) proved they're the perfect cure for sweltering fashion girls. Outside the Bowery Hotel on Thursday afternoon, Kravitz styled the most daring high-low look. Once a cross-country staple, her triple-stripe Adidas shorts were high-waisted and ended at her upper thighs. Then, Kravitz enhanced the post-practice look with an oversized red T-shirt tucked into her track pants. According to Goldberg, the "Black History Month" tee was a vintage find from Procell, a secondhand store on the Lower East Side. Thus began the "high" part of the Blink Twice director's contrasting co-ord. Always a devoted Saint Laurent supporter, the brand ambassador carried the Baby Icare Hobo handbag in lambskin, which offers multiple carrying options, including chainlink and leather straps, as well as a foldable top-handle—Kravitz chose the latter. The diamond-quilted black exterior was embroidered with the "YSL" emblem in gold, also seen on the Sade Hobo Bag. Shockingly, Kravitz's trusted The Row flip-flops didn't make the cut. Instead, she slipped on peep-toe mules from Manolo Blahnik. With skinny stilettos and rounded toes, the $825 slides ended her months-long streak of not wearing heels. (Kravitz hasn't publicly worn pumps since a Dom Perignon event in May.) View Deal View Deal As for her jewelry, Kravitz again chose her signature jeweler, Jessica McCormack, the same designer who made her previous engagement ring. She first accessorized with diamond-drop hoop earrings set in McCormack's signature blackened gold. To finish her look, she wore McCormack's 0.90ct Diamond Golden Snake Ring, which retails for $30,750. View Deal View Deal Unless it features a The Row tag, Kravitz rarely repeats a look. So, I was both surprised and pleased to see she wore the same vintage tee on July 16. This time, she left it untucked with black trousers and matching flats. Next, Goldberg dressed her in a floppy bucket hat and the Terrasse Bag, both from the cult-favorite label, The Row. Unsurprisingly, the slouchy shoulder tote is sold out, but her headpiece is still available for $620. View Deal Did Kravitz just revive summer 2024's track short trend? The Marie Claire offices say yes. Before August hits, make sure your survival kit is stocked with a pair (or two) of track shorts. You can't go wrong with Kravitz's well-known Adidas pick.

The Hard Ciders (and Beers) to Sip Through the End of Summer
It's Tony Rehagen, your Top Shelf beer snob, here to announce that, for one month only, I'm donning a tin-pot hat and playing Johnny Appleseed to plant the notion of cider as a summer mainstay. But first here's a bushel of news from the world of brew: If I say the word 'cider,' your mind most likely turns to fall. That makes sense: Autumn is apple-picking season, traditionally a time when you huddle up by the campfire with a warm, sweet cup of fermented apple juice on a chilly night. But American craft pommeliers, like craft brewers, have been broadening the spectrum of cider and making it a year-round player— especially as a slaker during these remaining days of summer swelter.
