Magda Butrym Resort 2026 Collection
Last November, Magda Butrym celebrated her brand's first decade in business. Since then, she's kept on hitting high notes, scoring some impressive moments on the red carpet and on late-night TV, particularly with her padded-hip numbers. Some recent sightings: Renée Zellweger in an off-the-shoulder black hourglass dress at the Gotham awards; Natalie Portman in a cherry red, traditionally woven minidress with a structured bodice and ruffled hem for a turn on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and the Dutch top model Imaan Hammam at the Met Gala in a similarly sculptural white custom suit. Plus an April collaboration with H&M that, a spokesperson said, nearly sold out by noon the first day. But if the present is coming up roses—fittingly, that is also her emblem—with this collection the designer indulges once more in nostalgia. Mostly, that means '80s-inflected silhouettes, with a one (or two)-and-done recipe: strong shouldered trenches, cropped blazers, a shaggy faux fur coat, or a leather bomber are paired with body-con numbers or a silky lingerie dress trimmed with handmade lace. Handmade crochet, whether as trim, overlay, or full-on doily top and miniskirt, nods to the brand's Slavic roots. Meanwhile, floral knitwear, jerseys, and denims—a salient trend for spring, for both genders—made a showing too. But what stood out most here, literally and figuratively, was the way Butrym has been using wire to abstract petals into bodices, bustiers, and dresses: those looked special but also easy enough to wear—no easy feat. Flexing to uncertain times, the designer leaned into what she calls 'daily statement wear.' That included 'leg-centric' silhouettes; it will be interesting to see whether semi-sheer tights-as-trousers catch traction. More compelling were some iterations of Hammam's Met Gala look, as well as more commercial items like t-shirts twisted into rosettes, a knitted top with a toss-over scarf detail, draped jersey dresses, and quite a few covetable coats, the brand's bestsellers, in black leather or pony skin. Those were accessorized with a curved wooden wedge mule, new ballet flats or perhaps a clutch in water python. While Butrym may have a soft spot for the past, her mind is focused on the future. Having just closed out a three-month pop-up in SoHo, the designer has her sights set on the Paris runway for fall. And if all goes to plan, she'll circle back to New York for the opening of her first store outside Poland, again in SoHo. Judging by the scene in the Paris showroom, this brand looks like it's about to level up.

Imaan Hammam continues to highlight Arab culture
DUBAI: Dutch Moroccan Egyptian model Imaan Hammam touched down in Cairo this week for an undisclosed photoshoot and shared highlights from the trip on social media, set to music by the late Egyptian singer Abdel Halim Hafiz. Posting to her 1.7 million Instagram followers, Hammam offered a visual diary of her stay, capturing a mix of street scenes, style moments and local ambiance. The carousel opened with a mirror selfie in an elevator, where she wears a high-waisted printed maxi skirt paired with a black fitted top. In another shot, she appears in a more laid-back look featuring camouflage trousers, a white tank top, a grey hoodie and yellow sneakers. A post shared by Imaan Hammam (@imaanhammam) She also shared a short video that captures her tuk-tuk ride through a narrow alley, followed by snapshots of Cairo's street life, including a local bookstore and a rooftop view of a mosque at sunset. Hammam's Cairo visit reflects a growing interest in reconnecting with her roots, something that also drives her latest passion project, Ayni. Launched earlier this year, Ayni is an archival platform dedicated to preserving and celebrating Arab artistic expression through Hammam's perspective. A post shared by AYNI by IMAAN (@ In a video she shared on the Ayni's Instagram account, she said: 'For me, its always been so much deeper than just fashion. It is about staying connected to my roots, telling stories that move me and shining a light on the voices that need to be heard.' She said her hope for Ayni is for it to grow beyond a personal vision and become a 'real community.' A post shared by AYNI by IMAAN (@ Hammam is one of the most in-demand models in the industry. She was scouted in Amsterdam's Centraal Station before making her catwalk debut in 2013 by walking in Jean Paul Gaultier's couture show. Hammam has appeared on the runway for leading fashion houses such as Burberry, Fendi, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Balenciaga and Carolina Herrera, to name a few, and starred in international campaigns for DKNY, Celine, Chanel, Versace, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, Tiffany & Co. and others.

Vincent van de Wijngaard & Imaan Hammam's Story Returns to Cairo
'A Sense of Place' follows Imaan Hammam as she revisits her father's narrative in Egypt, and is now showing at Cairo Photo Week. May 15, 2025 When Dutch filmmaker and photographer Vincent van de Wijngaard first visited Cairo two years ago, the image of the pyramids stayed with him. Not as distant monuments, but as part of the city's everyday landscape. That perspective became the starting point for a new story. Shot for Harper's Bazaar US, the series titled 'A Sense of Place' follows Moroccan Dutch Egyptian model Imaan Hammam as she revisits her father's narrative in Egypt. From a roadside café lit in soft blue tones to the wide desert expanses surrounding the Giza Plateau, the project blends fashion photography with a sense of personal return. This week, van de Wijngaard is back in Cairo as part of Cairo Photo Week. His series is on view at the historic Cinema Radio in Downtown Cairo, not far from where the images were first captured. Beyond exhibiting his work, van de Wijngaard engages with emerging photographers through portfolio reviews and workshops, helping to shape the conversations at the festival. As Cairo Photo Week continues to foreground local narratives and expand the region's image-making ecosystem, collaborations like van de Wijngaard's serve as a reminder that stories do not just travel. They come home. The festival is running until May 18th in Downtown Cairo.

Imaan Hammam suits up for 2025 Met Gala
DUBAI: Fashion's biggest night got underway this week at the Met Gala in a rainy Manhattan, and part-Arab celebrities turned heads with their looks. Dutch Egyptian Moroccan model Imaan Hammam donned a white tailored suit by Polish designer Magda Butrym, featuring a fitted waist, structured shoulders and wide-leg trousers. She paired it with a black shirt and a polka dot tie. Her look included a black cane with a silver handle and silver pointed-toe heels. She topped off the outfit with a black headpiece made of flowers and long feathers. Dutch Egyptian Moroccan model Imaan Hammam donned a white tailored suit by Polish designer Magda Butrym.

The dress featured a thigh-high slit and a floor-length train. She accessorized her look with pointed black heels and a diamond necklace. This year's Met Gala marks two major milestones: it is the first to spotlight Black designers, and the first in over two decades to center on menswear. The theme was inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Saudi Arabia-based Argentine model Georgina Rodriguez wore a black satin gown with lace detailing along the neckline and waist. (Getty Images) The event was co-hosted by Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo and A$AP Rocky. Rihanna closed out the evening in signature fashion, revealing her newly announced baby bump. Her Marc Jacobs look included tied sleeves of a men's suit that served as a bustle behind her as she posed for the cameras. A$AP Rocky, who is both co-chair and the father of Rihanna's child, responded to congratulations on the carpet. 'It feels amazing. It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us 'cause we definitely happy, you know,' he told reporters on the red carpet.
