PFW: Givenchy F/W 2026 RTW Womenswear


Discover Givenchy’s latest Fall/Winter 2026 RTW-collection by Sarah Burton, blending timeless allure & modern sophistication.

“How can we put ourselves back together in the world we’re living in” 
- Sarah Burton

Sarah Burton’s 3rd Givenchy runway show represents her intuitive portrayal of the strengths of women today. Constructed on foundations of cut, tailoring and silhouette she established on entering the house, the templates are turned around, spontaneously capturing the creative flow between the atelier and her woman.

I also enclosed the You Tube video below to give you a good impression from the whole collection. Be Inspired .......

NYFW: Michael Kors F/W 2026, Part 2

Witness the magic of Michael Kors his F/W 2026-27 Womenswear & Menswear collection, presented in New York. At the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center Michael Kors unveiled a collection that was not merely a retrospective - but a live archive of American elegance. Marking his 45th anniversary, Kors staged a celebration rooted in the very essence of his brand: New York sophistication, clean silhouettes and unapologetic glamour.

“I still feel like a kid,” he told the crowd at PJ Clarke’s after-party. Perhaps, but that ‘kid’ has built one of the most enduring empires in American fashion and tonight, he reminded everyone why. 

I also added this beautiful video below. It's almost 15 minutes and gives an excellent impression of the Michael Kors F/W 2026 collection. Be Inspired ......

Couture: Ziad Nakad F/W 2026 - Black is Beautiful (02)

 
In love with these stunning black evening gowns by Lebanese fashion designer Ziad Nakad. What a beauty, elegance, femininity and craftsmanship. With his Fall/Winter 2026 offering, Ziad Nakad refines his signature language of opulence through a lens of modern restraint. Presented as a lookbook, the collection explores the balance between couture-level embellishment and the evolving demands of contemporary dressing, where elegance is expressed with clarity rather than excess. Be Inspired ..... Earlier I wrote more blogs about Couture, SEE HERE




More about the fashion designer
Born of a Lebanese descent, Ziad Nakad knew from his very early teens that he was to work in fashion. Since his young years, he was attracted by eccentric fabrics, sheer embroideries and unconventional beadings which married his designs back then especially sketched for his family to wear. Encouraged by this genuine success, the talented young man decided to explore more his passion for fashion and embrace the dressmaking art with studies in the field. In parallel, he mastered the art of couture by working with many famous fashion designers in Beirut. In 1997, he turned his dream into a career when he was invited to take part to the Beirut International Fashion Show for Couture in Beirut and dressed renowned super models like Karen Mudler, NadjaUrman and Jennifer Driver.

His first fashion shows garnered much praise from critics and opened the doors to a whirling series of defiles sparking international interest for the designer. Such exposure led to another milestone to his career with his first international defile in Milano in 2001 followed suite by another one in Cannes in 2003… and that was only the beginning…

Celebrated for his ability to reveal the feminine side of every woman, Ziad Nakad is now a design reference in fashion shows in Lebanon, the Middle East, the Gulf, Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the world.
