V&A to Stage First-Ever Schiaparelli Exhibition in the UK

Victoria and Albert Museum will open its first-ever UK exhibition dedicated to Schiaparelli, titled Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art, running from Mar. 28 to Nov. 8, 2026 at the Sainsbury Gallery, tracing the house’s evolution from the 1920s to its present-day revival under creative director Daniel Roseberry. Spanning over 400 objects—including 100 garments, 50 artworks, and a wide array of accessories, archival materials, and design pieces—the exhibition positions founder Elsa Schiaparelli as a pioneering force at the intersection of fashion, art, and performance, spotlighting her collaborations with artists such as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Man Ray, alongside iconic works like the 1938 Skeleton and Tears dresses. Structured across thematic sections, the show explores her early innovations in modern womenswear, her deep ties to surrealism, her expansion beyond Paris—including a London salon—and her lasting cultural impact, culminating in Roseberry’s contemporary designs worn by figures like Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa, effectively linking the house’s radical past to its current resurgence.

Gucci’s latest “Beauty and the Bag” campaign, shot by Mert and Marcus and directed by Bardia Zeinali, explores the almost obsessive relationship between a person and their handbag through a cinematic lens, starring Kate Moss and Emily Ratajkowski. Moving from stripped-back portraits to surreal, looping visuals, the film spotlights the house’s latest silhouettes, the Gucci Borsetto and Gucci Giglio, whose monogrammed surfaces and sculptural forms repeat in hypnotic sequences. Fronted by Ratajkowski, the Gucci Giglio—named after Florence’s lily emblem—channels the brand’s Italian heritage through a spacious, tote-inspired design crafted in materials like GG canvas, blue-and-white GG denim, and dark brown leather, all accented with the signature green-and-red Web stripe and a detachable pouch, while Moss embodies the Gucci Borsetto, a refined Boston-style bag that merges borsa and morsetto (Horsebit), defined by elongated handles and gold-tone hardware, and offered in finishes ranging from brown suede and black leather to vintage-inspired sand GG canvas lined with the archival Diamante motif.

Matthew M. Williams Named Creative Director of Oakley

Oakley has tapped Matthew M. Williams as its new creative director across apparel, footwear, and accessories, marking a return to his Californian roots and a new chapter for the performance label as it leans further into lifestyle-driven sportswear. The 1017 ALYX 9SM founder will oversee the brand’s AFA (Apparel, Footwear, and Accessories) divisions, shaping a vision that bridges technical athletic performance with everyday wear, while also collaborating closely with Travis Scott in his role as Oakley’s chief visionary officer. According to global president Caio Amato, Williams brings a rare 360-degree understanding of both design and business, from cultural nuance to operations and distribution, positioning him as the right figure to steer the brand forward. The appointment follows Williams’ departure from Givenchy in late 2023 and signals a personal homecoming, with the designer citing Oakley as a constant presence during his upbringing; drawing on that connection, he aims to merge the brand’s legacy of innovation, sports performance, and technological advancement with his own distinct design language under the umbrella of parent company EssilorLuxottica.

Courrèges has announced the departure of its artistic director Nicolas Di Felice, bringing an end to a widely celebrated five-year tenure that saw the Belgian designer fully revive the historic French label before stepping away to focus on personal projects. Since taking the helm, Di Felice has been credited with orchestrating a true renaissance for the Pinault family-owned house, reinterpreting its 1960s space-age codes through a sharply modern, youth-driven lens that reestablished Courrèges as a major force in contemporary fashion, earning both critical acclaim and a renewed cultural relevance. In a statement, he expressed gratitude to François Pinault and François-Henri Pinault, as well as the teams behind the brand, crediting them for making the journey both creatively and personally meaningful. While his departure marks the close of a defining chapter shaped by precise tailoring, sensual silhouettes, and a sharp read on youth culture, Courrèges confirmed that a new artistic director will be announced next week, signaling the beginning of yet another phase in the house’s evolution.

Qatar Investment Authority Eyes Stake in Golden Goose

Qatar Investment Authority is reportedly closing in on a 10 percent stake in Golden Goose, according to Italian outlet Corriere della Sera, with the potential deal tied to the brand’s €2.5 billion valuation and expected to inject significant capital into the business. If finalized, the move would further validate Golden Goose’s strong global positioning and growing demand across the Gulf, while adding another major institutional investor to its cap table following a standout 2025 in which the label generated €734 million in net revenue. The reported talks come shortly after a December 2025 restructuring that saw Hong Kong-based HSG acquire a majority stake from Permira, with firms like Carlyle and Temasek retaining minority shares, as the brand continues to scale under CEO Silvio Campara and non-executive chairman Marco Bizzarri.
