The British label continues its world tour and this time sets down in Seoul for its spring-summer 2026 show, presented on April 25 in the Korean capital. On the program, a collection of forty mixed silhouettes presented in a brutalist decor between concrete and swimming pool tiles. A minimalist setting for an equally refined collection inspired by the simplicity of the 1980s and 1990s, with flowing dresses in silk or fine knits for women, and casual suits and suede pieces for the gentlemen. As for accessories, we fell in love with the translucent mules with low heels! The good news is that a good part of the collection is already available online and in stores.

Dior s’inspire d’une robe créée en 1952 pour son nouveau sac

If there is one detail that fashionistas have retained from the first Dior collections designed by Jonathan Anderson, it is the accessories. Having become true objects of desire, punctuated with historical codes, leather goods come first among the most desirable. Particularly the “Cigale” bag with compact lines, available in smooth leather as in effect croco, in a wide chromatic palette, springtime and timeless. And if, like me, you have a feeling of deja vu, it’s because it reinterprets the architectural lines of the dress created by Christian Dior in 1952. Otherwise, it’s probably also because it was preview on the arm of Rihanna, passing through Paris to discover the designer’s first haute couture show. Our favorite: the pastel blue model, which we imagine with light jeans and a white blouse on sunny days.

Underwear as sensual as it is subversive…

For the summer season, Etam invites the most prominent Californian label of the moment for a collaboration that shakes up the codes of lingerie. The retro-futuristic aesthetic of Miaou meets the expertise of Etam in lingerie, and gives birth to a daring collection. The Parisienne merges with the Californian attitude around a daring wardrobe, mixing glamor and sensuality: bustiers, babydoll dresses and bloomers are come in plays of blush and black satin, leopard mesh and transparencies. My favorite piece? This white and leopard set whose top is inspired by the “double bra” trend, propelled on social networks by content creator Lilas Villeneuve. We love it!

A collection to be found on etam.com.

When the nice weather sets in, you’ll want to refresh your wardrobe. Even if the temperatures are still cool, it’s time to start swapping your chunky knits for lighter, seasonal pieces. For spring, but also to celebrate the opening of Reformation’s second Parisian boutique in the Passy district, Tina Kunakey unveils an ultra-desirable summer selection. The French model creates a wardrobe in her own image: sunny and subtly sophisticated. Among the silhouettes, we find clothes designed for the summer wedding season with clean lines and breathable materials. I am thinking in particular of this long black dress with XXL white polka dots, ideal for a ceremony, but also perfect pieces for everyday life. We particularly like the look composed of barrel pants and a white tank top, accessorized with leather flip-flops and oversized sunglasses. Strong pieces, but which never try to do too much.Â

 « Protect the Dolls » : le t-shirt qui privilégie le militantisme plutôt que le buzz 

After making its debut during the Conner Ives show for the fall-winter 2025-2026 season at London Fashion Week, the “Protect the Dolls” t-shirt went viral in 2025. Designed the day before the show, it embodies much more than a simple garment or an ephemeral fashion phenomenon. Already worn by stars like Addison Rae, Charli XCX or Pedro Pascal, it still stands out today as a stance in favor of the protection of the LGBTQIA+ community, and in particular women transgender people, often affectionately called “the dolls”. In this initiative, MAC Cosmetics announced a partnership with the American designer: in addition to reissuing the cult t-shirt, the brand is also launching limited edition lipsticks bearing the same slogan. What do we like? All profits will be donated to LGBTQIA+ organizations in order to extend Conner Ives’ message: favor activism over buzz.

Une boîte à bijoux qui célèbre l’artisanat sénégalaisÂ

A piece of jewelry is never just a simple accessory. It is a piece steeped in history or emotion, which we wear to enhance our outfit, but also to celebrate a memory or an initiative that is close to our hearts. And what’s better than something pretty? box to hold all your treasures… Marie Poniatowski, founder of Stone Paris, joined forces with her friend Ondine Saglio, artistic director of the CSAO (Company of Senegal and West Africa), to create a unique case. Handmade, these jewelry boxes celebrate Senegalese craftsmanship, whose floral motifs from the brand are reinterpreted by the embroiderers of the “L’Atelier des Rêves” association in Dakar. Embroidered with the word “TREASOR”, each box is lined with Liberty fabric, available in Charcoal, Sage or Gold. Much more than a box, it is a story of women, solidarity and emancipation.

Shaping and comfortable second-skin clothing

Whatever your body shape, it happens that certain pieces do not enhance our silhouette as we want, or that we simply wish to opt for more shapely underwear. For this, Dim unveils its “Dim Silhouette” range through a selection of lingerie with absolute comfort. In stretch mesh, microfiber, lace or tulle, the collection features three levels of support and five styles: so many possibilities to feel sublime and confident every day. Bodysuits, briefs and even girdles fit, sculpt and sublimate each silhouette with complete lightness. Their advantage? These pieces are invisible under clothing for a second skin effect.Â
