TIMELESS FRAMES, ENDLESS ATTITUDE. GUCCI EYEWEAR’S FW26 CAMPAIGN
Gucci Eyewear has released the campaign for its Fall/Winter 2026 collection, built around a single suspended moment shared by a cast of different faces. Each figure carries their own mood, yet the same stillness runs through every frame, a reminder that a timeless pair of glasses can give any look its own character and attitude.
The portraits put the new eyewear front and center: a black acetate silhouette stamped with the Double G logo, round black sunglasses trimmed with Horsebit details at the temples, and, for men, black rectangular sunglasses as the season’s key accessory. Rounding out the collection are black acetate optical frames with a modern edge and round metal optical glasses featuring interwoven Horsebit temples, a nod to the House’s signature codes.

MCM x LUAR: ARCHIVE MEETS ATTITUDE
Marking its 50th anniversary, MCM unveils a collaboration with LUAR designer Raul Lopez, debuting during LUAR’s Spring/Summer 2027 show at New York Fashion Week.
At the center is the ANIMA MCM x LUAR Leather Drawstring, a new silhouette drawing on elements from six archival MCM bag styles, reworked by Lopez into something distinctly his own. “MCM has an incredible history of continually redefining what luxury can look and feel like. That’s exactly the spirit I wanted to capture and make my own through LUAR,” Lopez says.
The bag comes in three sizes, three colors (black, espresso, cognac), and a range of leathers including snakeskin embossing and suede. The collection launches online and in select stores this December.

NOTHING TO DO, EVERYTHING TO WEAR
Dagger has launched PLAY HARD, its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, inspired by founder Luke Raine’s upbringing in Portrush, a seaside town on Northern Ireland’s north coast. Where past collections leaned into the optimism of returning home, AW26 turns toward winter: empty streets, illuminated arcades, sea fog and artificial light replacing summer’s usual glow.
The collection captures the rituals young people invent when there’s nothing to do: skating, hanging around, getting dressed with nowhere to go. PLAY HARD is about growing up somewhere that feels like the center of the world and the middle of nowhere at once, translated into oversized outerwear, denim and layered jersey nodding to skate culture and school uniforms.

KPM X FRIEDRICH LIECHTENSTEIN BRING WEST BERLIN NOSTALGIA TO PORCELAIN
KPM Berlin is releasing Westberlin, a collaboration between artist Friedrich Liechtenstein and KPM owner Jörg Woltmann. It’s a homage to Enzo Mari’s BERLIN collection, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026, and to the spirit of historic West Berlin. The starting point was Liechtenstein’s song “Westberlin”, which stirred personal memories for Woltmann.
The edition sets a striking red rim against the porcelain’s brilliant white, complemented by the “Westberlin” lettering. It comprises dinner plates, dessert plates, oval platters and a handle-less espresso cup with saucer, each limited to 300 pieces. The edition is available from 18 September 2026 in KPM stores and the online shop.
