MIU MIU PLAYS ON PROPORTIONS WITH ITS LATEST READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION, PRELUDE 2026
Offering an antidote to back-to-work blues, Miu Miu’s newly unveiled, workwear-inspired Prelude collection sets the tone for the year ahead. Harnessing the label’s signature irreverent and utilitarian appeal, stylist Lotta Volkova primes the Miu Miu girl for a year of empowerment and sartorial ease. In a series of images lensed by Julie Greve, fashion is juxtaposed with function through cotton poplin shirting, puffed micro-mini skirts, pragmatic apron dresses and shrunken knitwear. Covetable accessories adorned with customised charms, such as the Plume and Tyre sneakers take centre stage, as do the Arcadie and Beau Bowling bags rendered in a versatile palette of soft creams, greys and browns. We’ll be looking no further than Prelude for our next office fashion fix.

BURBERRY HONOURS ITS SIGNATURE FABRIC WITH A NEW GABARDINE- LADEN RELEASE
Burberry as we know it is synonymous with the quintessential trench, but its newest capsule collection seeks to celebrate 170 years of the gabardine-crafted garment by taking it a step further. Or to be precise, many steps further by way of trekking through the rugged Welsh countryside. With pitched tents, gushing waterfalls and a veil of gauzy grey mist emulating the feel of a country camping escapade, real-life explorers Connaire Clan, Jesse Grylls and Marlon Patrice brave the elements in the atmospheric campaign. With their earthy-toned ensembles appliquéd with an archival 1993 tagline, “Burberrys grew out of country life,” a weekend in the wilderness has never looked better. Grab your gabardine here.

Heralding their fourth collaboration since 2020, the sleek ceramic Classic Fusion Yohji Yamamoto All Black Camo aspires to “redefine the art of black,” and is the most alluring iteration of the watch yet.

Sinéad O’Dwyer’s AW25 Character Studies collection dances around the Barbican
Ná Teagmhaigh/Do Not Touch, the latest promotional film by Irish designer Sinéad O’Dwyer for her eponymous label launches viewers into a world where human messiness meets interlaced, body-positive design.
Acting as a continuation of a live performance staged by the London-based label in November, the short, sensuous film, directed by Sylvia Suli, fuses themes of compulsion, desire and intimacy with Grace Nicol’s nuanced choreography.
Meeting O’Dwyer’s vision, Emma Mattel and Lover Management cast a diverse group of performers shot by cinematographer Willow Hazel to the sound of a Witchtrials musical composition and classical viola improvisation by Aoise O’Dwyer. The entire production and its experimental “glimpse behind the curtain,” was then supported and produced by Helios Blanc and Trans+ on Screen.
With ripples of blush pinks, rich red satins and deep oranges set in motion against the brutalist backdrop of the Barbican, the collection’s energy is funnelled into a series of scripted characters (a school matron, a nanny, a housekeeper, a ballerina, a musician and a sulky self-lover) moving to an erotically charged rhythm.
Despite a name that suggests otherwise, O’Dwyer uses Do Not Touch to urge interpersonal connection and movement, with clothes that lend a new lease of life to the wearer.
