This issue, once again, delivers a wealth of content, including hundreds of photos collected from fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, New York, and London, analyzing the mood, items, materials, colors, patterns, details, and accessories such as bags and shoes for the current season. Simultaneously, it includes interviews with designers and buyers, and columns to decipher the trends shaping the current fashion landscape.
A prevailing mood of 'attachment' is emerging as a trend. Symbolic examples include knitwear adorned with embroidery and decorations lovingly passed down from mother to daughter, and blazers, shirts, and ties originating from emotional school uniforms. But what other items will leap into trend prominence? Furthermore, as women's daily lives and women themselves become multifaceted, styles that oscillate between masculine and feminine, or cannot be definitively categorized as either, are also surfacing. What specific items, materials, and details will these be incorporated into? The answers lie hidden within this trend book.

In designer interviews, we feature the thoughts of designers who were rushed backstage immediately after their fashion shows from prominent brands such as PRADA, BOTTEGA VENETA, LOEWE, GIVENCHY, CHLOE, and DRIES VAN NOTEN. Why did PRADA showcase 60 looks with only 15 models? Why did Louise Trotter of BOTTEGA VENETA aim for a dramatic collection in a brand that was once known for 'understated luxury'? What is the new brand philosophy defined by LOEWE's designer duo? Their interviews subtly reveal important values for understanding the current era.
Additionally, the issue is packed with content such as a data-driven analysis of why Demna's first runway show for GUCCI went viral, a summary of the latest collections from contemporary brands like LONGCHAMP, and an introduction to the collections of VALENTINO, SACAI, and MAISON MARGIELA, who moved away from runway shows in Paris this season. It also summarizes the material trends for the 2027 Spring/Summer season.
