Niemeyer built everything she has from a place of personal conviction. She made what she wanted because what she wanted did not exist. Decades later, in a museum designed to ask questions about the future, the result of that conviction filled a runway and felt, in every sense, like something that will last.

There are brands that take decades to earn that word and never quite get there. Martin got there by refusing to make fashion that could have come from anywhere else. Every material, silhouette, cultural reference points back to the same place: a country far more complex and far more beautiful than the version the world has always been sold.

Lardini’s story starts in 1978 in Filottrano, a small town near Ancona. Luigi, Andrea, and Lorena Lardini were barely out of their teens when they took over their father’s tailoring business and, step by step, shaped it into something of their own. It was a moment when Italian fashion was gaining global momentum, but their route didn’t begin on a catwalk. It began in the workroom.
Miyake may have passed in 2022, but his thinking feels more alive than ever. Under the creative direction of Satoshi Kondo, the Homme Plissé team continues not by imitation, but by carrying forward Miyake’s questions: What is clothing in a changing world? How can fabric enable movement – physical, social, and emotional?
Founded in 1945 in Italy, Brioni has always been a brand that highlights the exclusivity and quality. Brioni’s philosophy of the Art of Slow Luxury remains unchanged: Alta Sartoria in every collection.

We got the opportunity to speak to the milliner about finding inspiration in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
Dorothee Schumacher is a rarity among German fashion designers, known internationally for her signature style. Many, she confesses, are surprised to discover the German origins of her luxury label, founded in 1989.
