Les Deux’s Pre-Autumn 2026 Collection Channels an Endless Mediterranean Summer

For Pre-Autumn 2026, Les Deux taps into the laid-back energy of a Mediterranean escape. Dubbed Coastal Contrast, the collection blends the Copenhagen label’s preppy-meets-streetwear DNA with sun-faded resort influences, delivering everything from jacquard football jerseys and lace cricket knits to relaxed tailoring, washed denim, and camp-collar shirting. Shot against a coastal backdrop, the accompanying campaign leans into a mood of late-summer romance, balancing sporty references with easy elegance. A palette of washed blues, greens, pinks, and sandy neutrals ties the collection together, capturing the feeling of summer lingering just a little longer.

Vöslauer: Stay Thirsty

For its 2026 campaign, Vöslauer taps German musician, actress, and activist Alli Neumann as the face of “Stay Thirsty,” a new chapter of the brand’s long-running platform. Centered on individuality and nonconformity, the campaign positions staying thirsty as a mindset rather than a slogan. A mindset defined by curiosity, self-expression, and a refusal to fit neatly into expectations. Known for her genre-spanning creative output and outspoken approach to identity, Neumann brings the campaign’s message to life through a series of playful visuals and films set to roll out across a 360-degree launch next year.

Vertere Berlin and Watergate Drop a Jersey for the End of an Era

Berlin label Vertere Berlin teams up with Watergate for a football-inspired jersey that pays tribute to one of the city’s most influential clubs. Blending streetwear and club culture, the piece features a blurred all-over print reminiscent of strobe lights, smoke, and movement on the dancefloor, alongside reflective details, embroidered patches, and a bold Watergate logo. On the back, the phrase “the party is over, long live the party” nods to the club’s recent closure. A reminder that while the venue may be gone, the community and culture it helped shape continue to live on.
