Fashion once belonged to no one. Fashion was once free of rules. Over time, like ivy growing patiently across stone, it came to define identities assigning garments, bodies, and gestures, until even the act of wearing became governed by unspoken codes. Denim was worn by miners. Argyle was worn in country clubs. Velvet was worn as a symbol of refinement. Yet MASU has questioned these human-made codes. What was believed to be round, when seen from the reverse, revealed itself to be sharp, such discoveries are what MASU has been pursuing. When the designer was not yet ten years old,…

This season, he returns to his long-standing fascination with Art Brut and Outsider Art, drawing strong inspiration from French artist André Robillard, who creates handmade objects from scrap materials while living outside traditional art systems. The collection reflects a strong tension…
For Fall/Winter 2026–27, Hiroaki Sueyasu makes the deliberate choice of Silence. By stripping away performative staging, he allows garments and bodies to breathe, revealing within a simplified stage the essence of his designs. At its core, KIDILL has always been rooted in punk. Sueyasu’s gaze remains fixed on contradiction: chance and inevitability, chaos and stillness, audacity and fragility, cuteness and hardcore. Rather than resolving these oppositions, he insists on their coexistence. Through clothing, conflicting values collide and assert themselves. For Sueyasu, fashion becomes a means of survival an intimate way to steady the mind and recover balance within chaos. A resilient…

By Sunny Andrea It’s been a busy time what with the festive period and long working hours and so sometimes it’s just nice to purely relax and get out of the city. I always say that weekends are made for switching off, slowing down, and spending proper quality time together — and our recent family stay at Fanhams Hall in Hertfordshire was exactly that kind of escape. Tucked away in the Hertfordshire countryside, yet still surprisingly easy to get to, Fanhams Hall feels like a hidden pocket of calm. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just…
There are moments when art transcends technique and becomes testimony. Pati Avakian’s exhibition From Coma to Canvas is one of those rare experiences that reminds us why we need artists who dare to be vulnerable. In 2010, a devastating car accident left Avakian with twenty-one fractures, a traumatic brain injury, and twenty-two days in a coma. What followed was not just physical recovery, but a profound spiritual rebirth. The French-Armenian artist, trained in both fine arts and haute couture, discovered that creating became the medicine no prescription could provide. Walking through her exhibition feels like being invited into a sacred…
