Philipp Plein Resort 2026 Collection
Despite taking place in the usually sunny city of Cannes, Philipp Plein's resort collection was threatened by possible rain. Thus, the garden of the designer's house, which has hosted his resort shows for a decade now, was replaced by another—equally charming—location: the Carlton Beach Club, one of the most famous places of Cannes. The Cannes Film Festival, which is currently in session, has long fascinated Plein. 'It's the place to be, especially at the beginning of the summer season,' he said. Womenswear only, the new offering is an explicit ode to cocktail and evening dresses, mostly in black, with 16 looks that are proof of Plein's commitment to a very niche segment of the market. The sparkling gowns showcased incredible craftsmanship: A fully sequined black dress with red stone embroideries required the labor of two women and 10 days to make, while the short dress in sequined python skin was further decorated with a three-dimensional snake. Cocktail dresses and suede separates were covered in strass, too, while an A-line LBD boasted a crystal version of the matelassé technique. The lineup also included some floaty draped dresses.

Juan Vidal Spain Fall 2025 Collection
Juan Vidal's latest collection, 'Me quiere, no me quiere' ('They Love Me, They Love Me Not'], draws inspiration from the tender act of plucking daisy petals as an ode to vulnerability and beauty. 'That innocent game is, at its core, a metaphor for the fear of making decisions,' the designer explained. 'It's a place where we leave fate to decide what the heart can't bear to face. That's where this collection begins—the desire to inhabit the question forever rather than rush toward the answer.' Embracing uncertainty as a source of creativity, Vidal reclaimed 'the uneasy in-between, from which many of the most beautiful ideas often emerge.' He added, 'It's a deeply emotional collection, where contradiction and doubt are not hidden, but instead they become the language. It's about fragility without fear, turning it into strength". The resulting pieces convey a clash of contrasts: washed and satin silks, oversized trench coats, floral woodcuts from an antique print he found in Kyoto, and satin suits adorned with taffeta bows that evoke the traditional Japanese obi. The collection unfolded across 32 looks he showcased during the Barcelona 080 Fashion Week, where opposites converged harmoniously: straight and curved, rigid and fluid, matte and shiny, masculine and feminine. 'There was no moodboard to guide our way. The creative process was more impulsive, allowing randomness to take the lead,' Vidal explained.

Sandra Weil Mexico Fall 2025 Collection
Sandra Weil was one of the standout names on the opening day of Mexico Fashion Week. The platform is undergoing a period of renewal—now backed by a new sponsor—and the Peruvian designer is part of this fresh chapter in Mexican fashion. Weil's latest collection, titled LEVEL8, drew inspiration from the energy of infinity, tied to a personal journey of confronting and overcoming fear. Visually, that idea came to life through garments with a medieval edge and mythological motifs. Conceptually, she used it as an opportunity to deepen her brand's own mythology, with prints featuring dragons, mermaids, and other creatures. That inner transformation was reflected outward. The show opened with a striking look: a pleated tulle maxi skirt paired with a wool and organza jacket with asymmetrical cuts—instantly recognizable as part of her signature silhouette. It was feminine, but stripped of sweetness and delicacy. As the show went on, each look added new layers of complexity, showcasing Weil's talent for mixing fabrics and prints. This time, she worked in stylized metallic mesh. One of the highlights was a golden metal corset that, within the collection's narrative, looked like the perfect armor for going into battle and facing your fears. Another subtle but consistent element ran throughout: folds and drapes that brought fluidity and movement to jackets and baggy trousers, often with a detail focused on one hip. 'Our tailoring has been evolving for years. It's part of our constant curiosity and commitment to learning. What drives us is couture—the art, craft, and skill that truly lies at the heart of fashion,' Weil shared backstage. Today, she proudly leads an in-house team of 50 people, managing everything from embroidery to prints. The accessories were designed by Romo Herrera, a jewelry house known for sculptural pieces, including the show's remarkable dragon-scale-inspired necklace worn by Mexican actress Aislinn Derbez. Some looks also featured UGG boots, part of a special collaboration for the runway. 'Once you conquer your fears, you tap into an infinite energy—where there's no good or bad. Everything flows. That's the message: once you move past fear, everything comes and goes naturally,' she concluded.
