I attended a gala for the screening of Brunello Cuccinelli’s auto-documentary Brunello: The Gracious Visionary this week, at Lincoln Center’s Koch Theater. I wore a gray cashmere Cuccinelli suit that was adjusted to my frame perfectly at a fitting in the days before (I ran into GQ’s Samuel Hine who said, “Feels good to wear Brunello at Brunello, huh?” Yep.)
The doc itself was like a piece from the brand: visually rich, transportive, people-centric, and a sequin’s worth of affable corniness that made it identifiably him. The guy is a living legend, in large part because of the levity he brings to luxury. But the room was dripping in taste. The model Bianca Balti in a custom chevron sequin gown and pixie cut had her own gravitational pull, and a louche Naomi Watts leaning over a dinner table with an untied bowtie around her tux shirt collar was just…well nothing comes close.

What’s new
Christopher John Rogers understands how to engineer joy into clothing. That spirit lands in his new Old Navy capsule in punchy, high-voltage combinations—green polka dots, buoyant florals, and drop-waist skirts that telegraph the designer’s ethos at prices as low as $24 (!)…. Kimora Lee Simmons appears in the campaign with her daughters Ming and Aoki. Plus, maximalists like Chloe King have already been spotted wearing the designs in the wild, which is likely why sizes are disappearing fast.
Bag watch! Big schlepper edition: Gucci’s Paparazzo lands in medium and large, offered in logo canvas, black leather, and sandy suede, striking a hybrid slouchy-structured balance complete with both top handle and shoulder straps. Bottega Veneta’s Pinacoteca leans into versatility with a reversible Intrecciato calf leather build—flip it inside out and the suede lining can switch it up, especially in the midnight-to-basalt pairing. Tod’s reintroduces the Wave, folded and arched with a satisfying round edge; some colorways are charmingly misspelled to be made out of “lether,” but the real story is how material manipulation, not logos, carries the design (the SS26 orange iteration makes a convincing case).
Consider this a Jil Sander translation of the Clarks Wallabee—newly installed creative director Simone Bellotti’s The Hood lace-up shoe arrives in sleek black leather with hand-stitched detailing that rewards a closer look. From afar, it reads straightforward; up close, the sole reveals a deep blue tint (rather mischievously).
Zendaya and her image architect Law Roach deliver an exclusive collection with On that shifts On’s performance language into daywear: Studio knit leggings and bodysuits return in a heathered grey colorway, while the All Day ribbed tank and Bermuda shorts, when paired together, capture “showered at the gym effortlessly.”. The headline is the Cloudnova Moon sneaker, co-designed by Z and Roach, with a zig-zag strap and a low profile that reads especially well in fig.
Batsheva’s first bridal offering exceeded expectations. Could this be the new de facto for the offbeat bride? The Arya dress channels an ’80s sensibility that clicks when paired with lace gloves, while the Edie leans into the brand’s signature volume with oversized ruffles that feel fresh and nostalgic at once Accessories lend f theatre: a pearl sash, an organza veil that could double as a duster, and even a diamond-on-ribbon choker.
Since rebranding from G. Label, Gwyneth Paltrow and Creative Director Sofia Menassé have sharpened GWYN into something more self-assured, and the final drop from their SS26 collection really solidifies that. The remy short stands out as a reworked and refined cargo short, less clunky yet still functional; a hand-painted pink-and-red check enlivens the Chloe skirt.
Danielle Frankel’s Collection XI gives us a bridal separates with conviction: the Palma wool satin jacket, cut high at the neck, pairs with a mermaid skirt that feels correct. There’s still the classic wedding glamour present in the Genevieve’s ball skirt, all sweep and movement. It’s a lineup for a contemporary bride who keeps her more specific style POV intact while nodding, just slightly, to tradition.
Kinn’s new Family Legacy collection builds directly on the concept of heirlooms, reworked for contemporary wear. Lockets lead the charge, especially the Relic ribbed version designed to hold a small note. Many pieces can be engraved or set with birthstones, reinforcing the personal. Alongside them: pared-back pavé rings, pear-drop earrings, and classic gold oval lockets.
There’s also: Everybody.World’s Soil “Trash” tees marking Earth Month—cut entirely from cotton waste, with proceeds rebuilding Altadena Community Garden, which feels like a T-shirt doing some actual work; Emmanuelle Khanh collabs with Tracee Ellis Ross on mask sunglasses and aviator opticals (bold, saturated, and impossible to ignore); Cou Cou’s Muse tank and Slip skirt now available in organic cotton jersey, a more city-ready take on the pointelle tank-and-skirt formula currently everywhere; Attersee’s Spring Vol. II, leaning into zipper detailing and a persuasive argument for espresso brown as a spring neutral (the Terenzi top says it all); Quince taps stylist Jamie Mizrahi to curate a selection of the brand’s best-value hits, from crisp cotton Oxfords to a striped linen strapless dress that reads more expensive than it is; and new in at Sezane: a classic straw bag, a cool straw bag, and a straw bag for your straw bag.
Men’s releases
Grace Wales Bonner’s ongoing adidas collaboration continues to break new ground with the same damn sneaker (seriously, how?!). This season introduces fresh takes on the Karintha sneaker, including basket-woven and python-textured versions available for pre-order. Apparel holds its own: a floral football jersey and a sakura-pink track jacket bring a softer palette into sportswear territory.
In this J. Press x Alex Mill collaboration, J.Press’s collegiate backbone meets Alex Mill’s easy proportions, and the result is a color playground: a full ROYGBIV of rugby shirts, with a black-and-purple stripe emerging as a chill-er favorite of the loud bunch, D-ring belts in a range of hues invite mix-and-match instincts. There’s also a cricket cable sweater in the mix, an Alex Mill V-neck that lands with notably clean proportions.
Lemaire is, effectively, The Row for men in more ways that The Row is The Row for men. The latest Mr. Porter buy from the brand rewards customer loyalty: crisp cotton-twill trousers, the Quiver bag, and transitional outerwear like a denim trucker and a shell hooded jacket.
Home releases
Known for her idiosyncratic vessels, ceramicist Simone Bodmer expands into full tableware, bringing that same oddball-organic sensibility to dinner plates and candleholders (in two heights). Alongside the launch, a repairs program with lacquer artist Yuko Gunji introduces kintsugi restoration, an open invitation for customers to keep broken pieces in circulation.
Assembler I marks a new chapter for Athena Calderone’s New York studio, with a made-to-order furniture collection that covers a lot of interiors ground via an array of instant classics. A Japanese paper screen sits alongside mohair sofas with built-in shelving—functional, but also a bit movie-prop-you-want-in-your-house. Pricing is fittingly upon request.
Jayson Home x Schumacher’s collaboration blends the latter’s prints with the former’s vintage sourcing instincts. The result: pieces like a leopard ottoman and a barley twist chair reupholstered in a hand-painted green textile that feel almost confrontational in their bombast.
Think of this as a division of labor: Yamazaki handles the hardware, Public Goods supplies the formulas. Their newest collaboration pairs steel caddies, designed for faucets or storage closets, with refillable glass bottles and cleaning concentrates. Sold in sets, including cleaning and home essentials kits, it’s a system that looks sleek, while helping eliminate single use plastics.
A touch of High Touch
Technogym’s new Sandstone collection swaps the gym’s typical black and anthracite for a desert-leaning palette of beige and warm brown, reframing workout gear as part of a designed room. The investment tier is steep (a Pilates reformer clocks in at $11,570, and the stair climber hits $25,550) but smaller entries like the personal dumbbells offer a more accessible way in.
Compounded, subcutaneous wellness treatments are gaining traction through the GLP-1 boom, and Brello is expanding in that space with the addition of sermorelin. The peptide encourages the body’s natural production of human growth hormone to offset effects of aging skin, hair, and metabolic rates, rather than introducing synthetic HGH (what we know as “roids”) outright, a distinction that matters. As always, this sits firmly in consult-your-doc territory, but it reflects a broader shift toward individualized, clinic-adjacent wellness options.
What’s on sale
Sephora’s spring savings event is officially here: Rouge members get 20% off, VIB 15%, and Insiders 10%, while Sephora Collection items hit a flat 30% off (the 12-hour waterproof retractable eyeliner is worth a look). Beyond that, it’s a practical moment to restock; Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant and Dieux’s Plump + Barrier Boost Kit are both on the shopping list.
An extra 20% off the Net-A-Porter sale section with FLASH20 turns already-reduced pieces into something more urgent. A Dries van Noten brown denim jacket drops from $1,365 to $546 after the additional cut, Khaite’s Roza dress gets down to $662 from an original $1,380.
Similarly, an extra 20% off orders over $350 encourages a bit of cart strategy at MyTheresa. Or, you can call it a day with The Row’s Liisa flats, already reduced to $612 from $1,020, which land at $489 with the added discount.
Ganni’s private sale lays out its signature Scandi print-heavy identity, with discounts up to 50%. A leopard wax jacket drops from $825 to $495, while a tessellated-floral-print wrap dress lands at $272 from an original $545. It’s a broad selection that captures the brand’s more expressive side, now at a gentler price point.
Vestiaire Collective’s biggest luxury sale of the year is live, with new listings appearing by the minute. The range spans pre-owned to bona fide vintage: a blue cotton blouse from The Row marked to $364 (before an additional 10% off) sits alongside an Alexander McQueen gown from the SS10 Plato’s Atlantis collection at $3,231—well under its typical $5–7K resale orbit. It’s a fast-moving field of finds, where archive means opportunity.
Archive pricing at Tove brings near-wholesale numbers into play. The Naomi camisole (in both ivory and black) drops to $201 from $686, the slick Emery trouser lands at $441 from $1,101. The deals here are good enough to consider getting two colors of the same silhouette…
Speaking of archive sales, Proenza Schouler’s includes runway pieces at 50–70% off. The Adriana leather skirt drops from $2,690 to $805, with bags part of the steep discounts as well. Long live the PS1 (and all its variants).
At Bona Drag, an additional 20% off with THURSDAY20 pushes already-reduced basics into highly reasonable territory. A Gil Rodriguez tube top drops to $33 (!), while a Beaufille maxi skirt lands at $196 (20% off included). The strength here is in well-made basics.
There’s also: Jennifer Fisher’s 20% off diamond event, spanning lab-grown and natural stones (this emerald-cut anniversary ring is worth a click); Tropic of C is running 25% off signature swim (like the Luna bottoms, Orb bralette) that leans into barely there bikini body geometry; FRĒDA Salvador’s friends-and-family moment circling 20% off, with the Jada ballet flat in mint metallic firmly in the cart; Tigra Tigra’s 40% off sitewide sale with SPRINGSALE, ideal for those drawn to cutwork-style statement pieces; Madewell’s extra 30–50% off sale, where the blogger-era staple easy shirt drops to $48; and 30% off R+Co’s entire product line, a fortuitous time to check out some travel sized luxury haircare ahead of spring vacations.
