Julien Dossena Exits Rabanne After 13 Years as Creative Director

Julien Dossena is stepping down as Rabanne’s creative director after 13 years at the helm of the French fashion house. Appointed artistic director in 2013 at just 30 years old before being promoted to creative director eight months later, Dossena oversaw a transformative era for the Puig-owned brand, modernizing Paco Rabanne’s futuristic legacy while cementing its place in contemporary fashion. Announcing his departure, the designer thanked the Puig family, his collaborators, and the ateliers that helped bring his vision to life, calling the role a defining chapter both professionally and personally. Puig president of prestige and fashion brands Ana Trias praised Dossena for ushering in “a new era for Rabanne,” saying he infused the house’s avant-garde heritage with renewed energy and a globally resonant vision. Rabanne also paid tribute to the designer on social media, thanking him for his “talent, vision and unwavering commitment.” His successor has yet to be announced.

Sarah Burton Recruits Juergen Teller and Friends of the House Ahead of Her Givenchy Men’s Debut

Ahead of her first standalone Givenchy men’s presentation for Spring 2027, Sarah Burton has unveiled a campaign shot by photographer Juergen Teller that offers an early glimpse into the world she’s building at the French house. Rather than casting models, Burton enlisted three creative figures she describes as “friends of the house”: photographer Sir Don McCullin, filmmaker Don Letts, and artist Danny Fox, each wearing pieces they personally selected, from sharply cut double-breasted tailoring and wide-legged trousers to embroidered outerwear, bright leather separates, and a standout gold floral coat. Captured in Teller’s characteristically unpolished style across everyday locations in London, the images will also appear on billboards throughout Paris ahead of the June 25 presentation. Staged inside Givenchy’s historic headquarters at 3 Avenue George V, the show was conceived as an intimate “house within a house,” with three rooms exploring different facets of the modern wardrobe in dialogue with the work of artist Rachel Whiteread. “I wanted this to feel very personal and intimate, and to reflect the conversations that I have with the friends of the house,” Burton said. Although she was appointed creative director in September 2024 following Matthew M. Williams’ departure, this Spring 2027 collection marks her first dedicated menswear presentation for the house.

Moschino Appoints Sunnei Founders Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo as Co-Creative Directors

Moschino has entered a new chapter, appointing Sunnei founders Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo as its new co-creative directors just days after Adrian Appiolaza’s unexpected departure. The duo, who launched the Milan-based label Sunnei in 2014 before stepping away from the brand in 2025, built a loyal following through their playful approach to fashion, blending community-driven experiences, performance, and irreverent humor. That sensibility makes them a natural fit for Moschino, a house founded by Franco Moschino, whose sharp wit and pop culture references transformed luxury fashion into a vehicle for satire. Announcing the appointment, Aeffe executive chairman Massimo Ferretti said Messina and Rizzo possess the creative vision and cultural awareness needed to guide the brand through its next phase while balancing heritage with innovation. In a statement, the designers described Moschino as a house they have long admired for its bold and unmistakable point of view, adding that they hope to preserve its legacy while bringing it into today’s cultural conversation.

Jonathan Anderson Plays With Illusion in Dior Men’s Summer 2027 Collection

Three seasons into his tenure at Dior, Jonathan Anderson’s vision for the French house is coming into sharper focus. For Spring/Summer 2027, the designer continues his dialogue with the archives, reworking familiar house codes through illusion, craftsmanship, and subtle subversion. A trompe l’oeil scarf motif lifted from Dior’s 1979 haute couture collection is painstakingly embroidered onto a silk vest, while distressed tweed Bar jackets, relaxed tuxedos, roomy double-breasted coats, and navy plissé suits strike a balance between historical references and contemporary ease. Elsewhere, houndstooth is printed instead of woven, polka dots are rendered through shimmering sequins, vintage blankets become handbags, and Dior’s signature cannage pattern appears on soft denim totes, all reinforcing Anderson’s fascination with making familiar techniques feel unexpectedly new. Rather than treating the archives as museum pieces, the collection approaches them with instinct and freedom, resulting in clothes that are as wearable as they are conceptually rich. Even the soundtrack echoed that philosophy, with a custom mix by Fred again.. sampling music from KTNA, Mabe Fratti, Jamie T, and original vocals by Christine and the Queens into something entirely fresh.

Jaden Smith Unveils His First Eyewear Collection for Christian Louboutin

Jaden Smith has unveiled his first eyewear capsule as Creative Director of Christian Louboutin’s menswear line, marking another step in the evolution of the French maison since he took on the role in September 2025. Centered around a single statement silhouette, the LB0048, the collection blends fashion, sport, art, and design through oversized proportions and sculptural curves while staying true to Louboutin’s instantly recognizable design language. Signature details include the new “CL” logo etched onto the lens and temple tips, studded hinges, the house’s signature palmette motif inside the temples, and a glossy red colorway that nods to Louboutin’s iconic lacquered soles. Finished with high-performance ZEISS lenses, the sunglasses reflect Smith’s contemporary perspective while preserving the heritage and craftsmanship that define the brand.

Florence Pugh Is the Face of Max Mara’s First Fragrance

Ahead of the launch of its first fragrance on Aug. 24, Max Mara has tapped Academy Award-nominated actor Florence Pugh as the face of the campaign. The announcement follows the Italian fashion house’s fragrance licensing agreement with Shiseido, signed in July 2024, and marks a new chapter for the brand as it expands into beauty. Known for acclaimed performances in films including Lady Macbeth, Little Women, Midsommar, Oppenheimer, Dune, and Thunderbolts, Pugh has become one of the defining actors of her generation. According to Max Mara, her confidence, authenticity, and distinctive screen presence embody the house’s modern vision of femininity, making her a natural choice to front its debut fragrance.

Moroccan Designer Zina Louhaichy Teams Up With Nike on New Capsule

New York-based Moroccan designer Zina Louhaichy has teamed up with Nike on her first-ever collaboration with the sportswear giant, unveiling a capsule that celebrates the city’s immigrant communities and cultural diversity. Founded in 2020, Louhaichy’s namesake label is known for exploring themes of diaspora, identity, and belonging through handmade clothing and accessories, making the partnership a natural extension of her practice. Inspired by New York street culture, the collection centers on oversized “New York” statement rings in silver and gold alongside plaid beanies referencing Ghana Must Go bags, with a campaign featuring New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds, from artists and immigrant-owned businesses to families and neighborhood icons. Rather than spotlighting celebrities, the project celebrates the people who shape the city’s identity every day, reflecting Louhaichy’s ongoing commitment to community-driven storytelling. The collection will debut at a three-day event in Bryant Park until June 27.
