Your Best & Worst Collections of S/S 2026

[vogue28]

Now that Paris Fashion Week is a wrap, what have been some of your best and worst collections of the season? Personally, for me, there's been more misses than hits.

The Saint Laurent show was my highlight of the season, just wonderful from start to finish - from location to clothing. I'm still OBSESSED. I was also very much a fan of Chloé and Schiaparelli.

What have been some of your personal best and worst of the S/S 2026 season?

Jil Sander
Ferragamo
Tom Ford
Lanvin
Junya Watanabe (the show of the season?)
The Row
Chanel

Saint Laurent was the best this season. I criticized it before, but with how bland everything else has been, I’ve come to appreciate something that’s at least well edited, has a clear point of view, and sells a bit of fantasy. The formula is getting stale, but it still works. Times are tough, and beggars can’t be choosers, so here we are. Anthony is lucky to be working in this era of mediocrity.

I will say Dior but not in love either. It was okeyish.

Worst:
Bottega
Fendi
Givenchy

Overhyped:
Chanel (not bad at all tho)
Ferragamo (????)
Tom Ford 🤨

Best: Tom Ford. An absolute triumph in every way! I was very worried after HA’s debut that he would make the brand too cold and severe but he reintroduced the raw and EXPENSIVE sex appeal Tom Ford commands. The opening looks will live with me for a long time.

Good: The Row (though not SS26), Jil Sander, Sacai, Torisheju

Bad (nearly all the rest but to name a few Givenchy, Alaia, Prada, Loewe, Rabanne

Worst: Miu Miu, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace

Tom Ford takes the crown. So luxurious and real, everything felt just right.

Second bests were The Row and Chanel. Blazy was successful into pushing Chanel forward from it’s stagnancy and there’s potential.

 

[Caffeine]

Tom Ford
Louis Vuitton
Balenciaga
Celine

Chanel and Dior are controversial

Miumiu is probably at the bottom...

 

[Kanzai]

Tom Ford - the ultimate #1

Fav: The Row, Alaia, Yohji Yamamoto, Khaite, Sacai.

Special mention: Giorgio Armani for obvious reason. I just don’t care about Milan anymore after he’s gone.
