Staud Spring 2027: It Lives in the Space Between

Staud Spring 2027: It Lives in the Space Between

Sarah Staudinger built spring 2027 around the slash: up and down, east and west, then and now. Bags appeared in most looks, and evening clothes were happily worn like daywear.

Sportmax Spring 2027: Heat-Wave Dressing

Sportmax Spring 2027: Heat-Wave Dressing

Sportmax answered rising temperatures by cutting the arms off outerwear and layering barely-there organza. Bags appeared in most looks, many of them in a punchy orange, and the whole show felt breezy.

Simkhai Spring 2027: I Just Wanted to Try New Things

Simkhai Spring 2027: I Just Wanted to Try New Things

Jonathan Simkhai spent spring 2027 doing the opposite of what spring is supposed to look like, with leather, knits and a lot of fringe. Fringe showed up in about a quarter of the looks, and it gives the collection its swing.

7 For All Mankind Spring 2027: The Attitude Is Everything

7 For All Mankind Spring 2027: The Attitude Is Everything

Nicola Brognano's 7 For All Mankind show is indie sleaze styling with denim at the center. Skinny scarves appeared in the large majority of looks, and the attitude does more work than any single piece.

The Row Spring 2027: American Perfectionism at Its Best

The Row Spring 2027: American Perfectionism at Its Best

The Row paired fragile antique linens and Victorian lace with the most immaculately cut trousers in fashion. Trousers appear in most looks, and I think that calm, unshowy contrast is the whole point.

Roksanda Spring 2027: Dresses-Slash-Tunics

Roksanda Spring 2027: Dresses-Slash-Tunics

Roksanda showed spring 2027 on the roof garden of the National Theatre, with painted scarves, braided threads and monumental gowns. Gloves appeared in more than a third of the looks, a detail I keep thinking about.

Simone Rocha Spring 2027: Very Touched and Pushed

Simone Rocha Spring 2027: Very Touched and Pushed

Simone Rocha returned to the Old Bailey with a stripped-back collection built around a rediscovered Caravaggio. Rose-furled necklines show up in about a third of the looks, and every silhouette feels bent and sculpted by hand.

Proenza Schouler Spring 2027: Clothes Make Room for the Woman

Proenza Schouler Spring 2027: Clothes Make Room for the Woman

Rachel Scott's second runway collection for Proenza Schouler feels looser, freer and far more sure of itself. Bags appeared in more than half the looks, led by a reworked PS1.

Mulberry Spring 2027: Really Clean, Modern Aesthetic

Mulberry Spring 2027: Really Clean, Modern Aesthetic

Christopher Kane made his debut as creative director of Mulberry with a clean start built on the Bayswater flap. More than half the looks carried a bag, which tells you where this new chapter is aimed.

Monique Lhuillier Spring 2027: Modern, Dark Romance

Monique Lhuillier Spring 2027: Modern, Dark Romance

Monique Lhuillier set out to strip back her fanciful evening world and found joy in draping. About a third of the looks were one-shoulder or off-the-shoulder, and the result was modern, dark romance.

Missoni Spring 2027: Getting Dressed Without Overthinking It

Missoni Spring 2027: Getting Dressed Without Overthinking It

Alberto Caliri builds a Missoni collection about movement rather than destination, inspired by how Rosita Missoni traveled. A hat topped most looks, and the geometry loosened, frayed and glinted.

Maison Margiela Spring 2027: The Hard and the Soft

Maison Margiela Spring 2027: The Hard and the Soft

Glenn Martens boils Maison Margiela down to its contradictions in a collection that is more approachable but still opulent at heart. More than half the looks carry a bag, and florals show up in about a quarter.

Loro Piana Spring 2027: A Solution for Natural Authority

Loro Piana Spring 2027: A Solution for Natural Authority

Loro Piana turned its Milan presentation into a self-help library, offering clothes as answers to everyday problems. Every look wore a hat, trousers appeared in most, and the real story was how hard the natural fibers worked.

Lemaire Spring 2027: Things That Don't Shout

Lemaire Spring 2027: Things That Don't Shout

Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran staged a quiet show in a concrete hall at the Opera Bastille, complete with a simulated rainstorm. Bags turned up in most looks, carried the way real people carry them, and the whole thing asked you to slow down.

Khaite Spring 2027: A Softer Vision Emerged

Khaite Spring 2027: A Softer Vision Emerged

Catherine Holstein swapped subtraction for addition at Khaite this season, and the result is a romantic, hazy collection built on lace and horsehair ruffles. More than a third of the looks were tied at the waist.

Jenny Packham Spring 2027: Disco Couture

Jenny Packham Spring 2027: Disco Couture

Jenny Packham followed her icy resort story with volume two of Disco Couture, designing gowns for the moment the room loosens up and the dancing starts. Sequins or beading covered about half the looks.

Joseph Spring 2027: There's No Excess Baggage

Joseph Spring 2027: There's No Excess Baggage

Mario Arena found the language of Joseph in a book about a converted chocolate warehouse and built a lighter, easygoing spring collection around it. Trousers and bags appeared in more than half the looks, and nothing felt weighed down.

Jil Sander Spring 2027: A Bit Wrong in a Way

Jil Sander Spring 2027: A Bit Wrong in a Way

Simone Bellotti's Jil Sander spring collection asks how minimalism survives when everyone has copied it, and answers with a note of imprecision. Trousers appear in nearly half the looks, and the slight wrongness is what makes them interesting.

Carolina Herrera Spring 2027: Hailing a Cab on Park Avenue

Carolina Herrera Spring 2027: Hailing a Cab on Park Avenue

Wes Gordon marked Carolina Herrera's 45th anniversary with a joyous tribute to the founder's signatures. Bags appeared in nearly half the looks, and every detail nodded to Mrs. Herrera herself.

Giorgio Armani Spring 2027: Metamorphosis and Precedent

Giorgio Armani Spring 2027: Metamorphosis and Precedent

Silvana Armani staged a quiet rearrangement of her uncle's house, sleek and nocturnal, under a disco ball. More than half the looks were trousers or jumpsuits, and I think that is exactly where the new Giorgio Armani speaks most clearly.
