Missed out on the fashion chatter this week? We’ve got you covered. Every week, our inbox is flooded with hundreds of press releases, but we made it our mission to sift through all the noise so you don’t have to. Here’s your quick recap of all the key fashion news from Aug. 8 to 14 2026, served up in bite-sized pieces so you can catch up fast…

Louis Vuitton Just Made the Porsche 911 Even More Covetable

Louis Vuitton is taking its Art of Travel philosophy quite literally. The French house has teamed up with Singer, the California atelier known for painstakingly reimagining classic Porsche 911s, to create two bespoke cars: a saffron-and-cobalt Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – Classic and a Calcaire Lutétien white Classic Turbo cabriolet conceived by Nicolas Ghesquière. What initially began as a request for a Tambour-inspired dashboard clock quickly grew into a full-scale project involving Louis Vuitton’s watchmakers, trunk makers, leather artisans, fashion, and footwear teams, with everything from the gauges and upholstery to the luggage, driving shoes, helmets, and even a Monogram-marquetry surfboard designed around the cars. It also marks the first co-branded object in Louis Vuitton’s history, although the automotive connection itself goes back more than a century: the house was already producing trunks specifically for cars in the 1890s. That history is what keeps the collaboration from feeling like another luxury logo slapped onto an expensive car. Instead, it makes a surprisingly convincing case for the Porsche 911 as the ultimate Louis Vuitton travel accessory.

Keke Palmer Is Hosting the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards

Keke Palmer is adding another job to an ever-expanding résumé. The multi-Emmy Award winner has been tapped to host the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards, presented by Amazon Fashion, taking place Nov. 2 at New York’s American Museum of Natural History. The choice feels particularly fitting for Palmer, whose red-carpet style has become almost as entertaining to watch as her performances, and who described fashion as one of her favorite ways to “tell a story before even saying a word.” CFDA president and CEO Steven Kolb praised her mix of “style, humor and authenticity,” which, considering awards shows can occasionally take themselves a little too seriously, sounds like exactly what the night needs. This year’s ceremony will also mark the 30th anniversary of the CFDA Scholarship Fund, with the organization raising a record amount to support the next generation of American fashion talent.

adidas Is Bringing Its Originals Energy to the Gym

Your gym fit is about to get a little less… gym. adidas has launched Originals Sport, its first collection to combine the streetwear codes of adidas Originals with the technical features of its performance training gear. Inspired by the iconic Superstar tracksuit, the women’s collection includes bras, leggings, tanks, onesies and layering pieces, complete with familiar Trefoil branding, unexpected proportions, and a less conventional approach to workout dressing. There is substance behind the styling, too: leggings use LYCRA ADAPTIV for unrestricted movement, while select tops incorporate CLIMACOOL technology for ventilation and cooling. Tate McRae, Argentine singer Emilia Mernes, and volleyball player Harper Murray front the campaign. The collection is available online and in adidas stores.

Loro Piana Heads to Houston for Its Fall/Winter 2026 Campaign

Loro Piana is heading somewhere unexpected for Fall/Winter 2026: Houston. Shot by Mario Sorrenti, the house’s latest campaign unfolds across the cultural world created by legendary art patrons John and Dominique de Menil, moving between their former home, the Renzo Piano-designed Menil Collection and the Rothko Chapel, home to 14 monumental Mark Rothko canvases. An intergenerational cast including artist Jean-Charles Blais, Sigrid de L’Epine, Selena Forrest, and Noor Khan inhabits the spaces, with the collection’s greens, brick reds, browns, and chalk whites picking up the colors of the surrounding architecture and art. American saxophonist Richard “Dickie” Landry, who performed at the Rothko Chapel in 1987, provides the improvised soundtrack. Loro Piana is taking that relationship beyond the images, too, supporting the Menil Collection ahead of its 40th anniversary in 2027 and contributing to the Rothko Chapel’s Opening Spaces preservation and expansion project.

Hermès Turned Vegetables Into Chandeliers Because, Well, Why Not?

Forget crystal, Hermès is making a surprisingly convincing case for carrots. For a summer celebration of Hermès Maison Bond Street at London’s historic Hurlingham Club, floral and botanical studio Flùr London joined forces with creative design agency Studio Boum to create elaborate chandeliers and sculptures entirely from fresh produce. Carrots and radishes dangled overhead alongside corn, eggplants, and other market vegetables, transforming the familiar shapes and colors of a produce stand into something closer to surrealist lighting design. There is something wonderfully excessive about painstakingly constructing a luxury installation from ingredients destined to wilt, particularly for a house synonymous with objects designed to last generations. That tension between craftsmanship and impermanence is also what makes the project so charming: Hermès-level attention to detail applied to perhaps the least precious materials imaginable. Consider it farm-to-table, only the table is underneath the vegetables.

PUMA Gives Its Iconic Suede a Very Pretty Makeover

PUMA’s Suede has been many things over its nearly six-decade run, from an Olympic podium fixture and Walt Frazier’s basketball shoe to a favorite of New York B-boys and skateboarders. Now, it’s getting in touch with its softer side. The new Suede Bloom reworks the 1968 silhouette with faux pearl details, interchangeable satin and frilled laces, and a palette of Powder Pink, Vintage Cream and Black. For the Middle East campaign, PUMA tapped regional style muses including sisters Rania, Dania, and Talia Fawaz to put their own spin on the sneaker. The hyper-feminine update arrives at a particularly fitting moment, as bows, pearls and unapologetically pretty details continue migrating from clothes and accessories all the way down to our sneakers. More importantly, the makeover works precisely because the Suede has never been especially precious about its identity: it has spent decades being adopted and reinterpreted by entirely different scenes. Suede Bloom is available across the region from Aug. 13.
