Beyoncé, Venus Williams, and Nicole Kidman Named Co-Chairs of the 2026 Met Gala

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced Beyoncé, Venus Williams, and Nicole Kidman—as co-chairs of the 2026 Met Gala, bringing together titans of music, sport, and cinema to helm one of fashion’s most culturally charged nights. The Costume Institute has also revealed the exhibition theme, “Costume Art,” which positions fashion firmly as a fine art form by examining the relationship between clothing and the human body.

New York Fashion Week is Banning Fur

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced on December 3 that it will no longer promote animal fur across any Official New York Fashion Week platforms—including the Fashion Calendar, website, and social media—beginning with the 2026 edition of NYFW. While fur has already become increasingly rare on New York runways, CFDA CEO and president Steven Kolb said the decision is intended to push American designers to think more critically about fashion’s impact on animals, noting that consumers are steadily moving away from products linked to animal cruelty and that the industry must prioritize material innovation. The move follows years of collaboration with Humane World for Animals and Collective Fashion Justice, and aligns NYFW with London Fashion Week, which ended its promotion of fur in 2023.

Matthieu Blazy to Stage Chanel Cruise 2027 Show in Biarritz for Resort Debut

Métiers d’art 2026 collection Matthieu Blazy for CHANEL

Following its recent Métiers d’Art show staged in a New York City subway station, Chanel has announced it will present its Cruise 2027 collection in the French coastal town of Biarritz on April 28, setting itself apart from luxury peers like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Dior, many of whom have turned to the U.S. for their upcoming resort shows. The presentation will mark Matthieu Blazy’s debut Cruise collection as Creative Director, and the location carries deep significance for the house: Biarritz is where Gabrielle Chanel opened a key boutique and workshop in the 19th-century Villa de Larralde in 1915, during World War One. Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of Chanel SAS, said the house was “delighted that Matthieu Blazy has chosen this destination, so dear to the house, to present his first vision of the cruise collection.”

Louis Vuitton has announced American actress Chase Infiniti as its latest House Ambassador, cementing a relationship that has been steadily building since 2024. Rapidly emerging as one of Hollywood’s most compelling new talents, Infiniti has been a regular presence at the House’s recent milestones, attending Nicolas Ghesquière’s Fall–Winter 2025 and Spring–Summer 2026 women’s shows—the latter staged at the Musée du Louvre—and wearing a custom champagne satin, hand-embroidered Louis Vuitton gown inspired by an 1860 archive piece to the premiere of One Battle After Another. She most recently appeared in a garment-dyed green silk taffeta bustier gown at the Academy Gala in Los Angeles. “I have watched Chase’s debut with genuine delight… beyond her remarkable talent, she radiates an authenticity that is truly unforgettable,” said Ghesquière.

Ralph Lauren Returns to Milan After 22 Years to Headline Men’s Fashion Week

Ralph Lauren is set to return to the Milan runway for the first time in more than two decades, headlining Milan Men’s Fashion Week from January 16 to 20 with a fall 2026 show scheduled for 5 p.m. CET on January 16 at the brand’s headquarters on Via San Barnaba. While many European houses are taking their runway spectacles to the U.S., the American designer is moving in the opposite direction, bringing both Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren menswear back to the catwalk after years of hosting presentations in the city—his last Milan menswear show dates back to fall 2002. Lauren will share the opening day with Zegna, returning to Milan after decamping to Dubai last season, and Dsquared2, as the week unfolds with 18 physical runway shows from names including Prada, Saul Nash, Qasimi, Paul Smith, and Dunhill, the latter switching to a presentation format. Giorgio Armani will close the week on January 19 with a double show at Via Borgonuovo 21, while Emporio Armani has announced it will move to coed shows during women’s fashion weeks from fall 2026 onward, with its EA7 line hosting a special event on January 17 tied to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. In total, Milan Fashion Week will host 76 events spanning runways, presentations, parties, and activations, with tailoring powerhouses such as Brunello Cucinelli, Brioni, Kiton, Canali, and Pal Zileri in focus, alongside first-time Milan appearances from Bikkembergs since 2019, menswear presentations by Etro and Tod’s on January 18, a Ferragamo spotlight on its Tramezza shoes and a newly announced collaboration with ski legend Alberto Tomba, before the week concludes with a final day dedicated entirely to digital shows by emerging designers.
