Spotlight on 3 shows that made this week
Last Friday, Jonathan Anderson made a splashy, youthful yet refined entrance at Dior for Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 season, masterfully weaving history and modern ease in a way that felt both scholarly and fresh. “Stretching the horizon: a play on history and affluence, decoding the language of the House in order to recode it,” the show notes wrote.
The show was staged at the Hôtel National Les Invalides in Paris, and the space was modeled on the velvet-lined interiors of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, mimicking the original Dior salon. The vibe? As Tim Blanks, Business of Fashion’s editor-at-large, put it, the collection was an “18th century grunge”, mixing style codes from old and now. Think Regency era meets street-cool. The designer also revisited iconic classics, such as the Bar Jacket, the Dior Book Tote, and Lady Dior.
Many of Anderson’s designer friends came to support him: Jacquemus, Donatella Versace, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Chemena Kamali…and we wish we were there too. But we watched the livestream, and boy, the show gathered more than a billion views on social media, according to WWD. What a magnificent debut! We can’t wait to see the womenswear one in the fall.
Then on Sunday, Simon Porte Jacquemus’ show officially marked the end of the menswear season. The designer returned to the Palace of Versailles for the second time since his Fall 2023 show. Presented at the Orangerie in Versailles, the collection dubbed “Le Paysan” was inspired by the designer’s family history. How he poured his memories and emotions into it is incredible 💛
On Monday night, Marc Jacobs gave the audience a rendezvous at the New York Public Library, where he unveiled his latest collection for the fall 2025 season. Titled “Beauty”, the small collection of 19 looks was inspired by Victorian silhouettes. Once again, the designer brought his signature exaggerated proportions through puffed sleeves, ballooned skirts, and big, big bows.
More shows are coming next week, with Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 season being held from Monday, July 7 to Thursday, July 10!
What else happened in the industry this week? 💚
Jonathan Anderson gives his brand a new look
After making his grand Dior debut, Jonathan Anderson spilled the secret that he is rebooting his namesake brand JW Anderson with an entirely new concept, launching in September. But instead of seasonal fashion and accessories, the brand will sell around 560 unique items that will include luxe wardrobe staples, jewelry, art & craft, garden tools, and other items for the home, which once sold out, will be gone forever. “Instead of discounting things, we just keep them until they sell out, and then we replace them,” Anderson explained to Business of Fashion.
In addition, in August the designer will be shutting down his stores in London and Milan for refurbishment to make his own “cabinet of curiosities” and hubs of local craft, which will reopen in September, while the website will be revamped into something “different — and simplistic,” he said in an exclusive interview to WWD.
Donatella Versace drops her last campaign
Alas, the queen of fashion released her ‘goodbye’ FW25 campaign for Versace (remember she was named brand ambassador in March, and Dario Vitale replaced her as chief creative officer?), and it’s a big one. Donatella called a group of longtime friends of the brand: Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Valletta, Natasha Poly, Saskia de Brauw, Liu Wen, Mica Argañaraz, Anok Yai, Mila Van Eeten, and Jacqui Hooper. They were photographed by Mert & Marcus, also a close Versace collaborator.
Kate Moss shuts down her skincare brand Cosmoss
And just like that, Kate Moss’ Cosmoss is no more. After only three years in business, the supermodel has officially filed to close operations of her skincare brand on June 24 and started a voluntary liquidation process. The company reportedly owes nearly $3 million to creditors, including Moss’s talent agency, Kate Moss Agency.
Victoria Beckham inks a 10-year license with Safilo Group
Fashion has a new hot deal — a 10-year global licensing agreement signed between Victoria Beckham and Safilo Group, the famous Italian eyewear company (its portfolio includes Carolina Herrera, Boss, Isabel Marant, Marc Jacobs…) for the design, manufacturing, and distribution of the designer’s eyewear collections until December 2035. The full Victoria Beckham eyewear range — both optical and sun — will launch in January 2026 for the spring 2026 season.
Miu Miu launched the sophomore edition of Summer Reads
Miu Miu is not only doing fashion but also promoting reading! This past weekend, the Italian brand hosted the sophomore edition of its “Summer Reads” event — a literary initiative held in public gardens and urban parks of key cities around the world, such as Milan, Paris, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Osaka. We love everything Miu Miu branded!
Visitors left with copies of two literary classics selected by the brand: the 1954 novel “The Inseparables” by Simone de Beauvoir (1954) and “The Waiting Years” by Fumiko Ench (1957).

What to listen to this week🎙️
In the latest episode of the Fashion Neurosis podcast, fashion designer Bella Freud sits down with Alessandro Michele to discuss making right and wrong choices in fashion, and meeting the best people in the loos. I love the concept of this podcast, where Bella invites special guests from designers to celebrities to lie on the couch and talk about the relationship between fashion, identity, culture, and politics. Recommended!
