Simon Cracker creates a brand uniform to highlight star upcycled garments during Milan Fashion Week

MILAN — Simon Cracker's collection for next summer is an expression of exasperation with a world of uninformed 'experts,' and as an antidote the Italian upcycled brand has distilled its focus to singular, spotlight garments, paired with a Simon Cracker new uniform.
For designers Filippo Biraghi and Simone Botte, upcycling is the lexicon they use to tell the story. This season's was titled: 'The devil in the details.'

Hailey Bieber Effortlessly Styled Three of Summer's Biggest Trends in One Outfit

All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by Glamour editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Getty Leave it to Hailey Bieber, our undisputed Queen of Trends, to style three of this summer's most popular (and most controversial) micro-trends and make it look effortless. On June 21st, the Rhode Skin founder was photographed in New York City wearing polka dots, skinny capris, and heeled flip-flops to create the most specifically summer-of-2025 outfit ever devised by influencer or stylist. The hero piece of the outfit is clearly the white capri leggings with their oversized black polka dot pattern from Paloma Wool. Bieber has been leading the capri pants vanguard, which made a triumphant return to mainstream fashion after most of us thought they'd gone the way of the gaucho. Capris—specifically styles like this that hug the thigh and end just below the knee—last had their moment in the sun in the mid-2000s. Now, they have been embraced by everyone from Emma Stone to Bella Hadid to Meghan Markle. Polka dots are, obviously, not nearly as controversial a fashion choice as capris, but the pattern is also having a trendy moment of its own. Celebs like Sydney Sweeney and Kaia Gerber have both been seen rocking polka dot dresses recently, bringing the classic motif into the current era. Kitten heel flip-flops, however, are definitely not timeless. Like the skinny capri pants Bieber wears here, the last time heeled thong sandals were popular was the mid-aughts. But now, they are one of the summer's hottest trends, even for office-wear. We've seen heeled flip-flops like Bieber's from mid-range brands like Madewell and Reformation, as well as from more luxury labels like Toteme. Hailey Bieber completed her trend-heavy ensemble with a simple black tank, a black mini bag, narrow black sunglasses, and a single gold watch. Naturally, Bieber's look also stayed true to the barely-there pedicure trend that she herself helped to start. The only way Bieber's ensemble could be any more of-the-moment is if she had a Labubu with her. Originally Appeared on Glamour

Tod's Spring 2026 Menswear Collection

The sizzling Milan heat took a breather (so to speak) at Club Gommino, Tod's open-air lounge opened in the lush garden of Villa Necchi Campiglio to fête the spring presentation. Guests, iced drinks in hand, let portable fans work overtime. Models were arranged in languid poolside tableaux. A tennis court was set up under a (thankfully refrigerated) canopy to display the accessory collection. Matteo Tamburini kept his cool—quite literally—during a garden press conference that had editors daydreaming of the seaside escape images he had pinned on the moodboard. A native of Pesaro, a resort town in the Marche region, he's familiar with the spirit of Italian villeggiatura—sandy beaches, striped ombrelloni, and lazy afternoons under breezy tents. For spring, he channeled that summer ease: think refined casual wear inflected with a laid-back vibe. 'The silhouettes follow the idea of balanced comfort,' Tamburini said. 'Each piece has a calibrated functionality, a kind of relaxed sartorial flair, with just a dash of sportiness.' His warm, elegant minimalism feels like a good fit for Tod's. Rather than chasing trends, he's refreshed the brand codes with natural polish. Working within the familiar framework of classic casual wear, Tamburini emphasized fluid movement using soft yet structured fabrics: travel-friendly wool, suede in sherbet hues, and striped silk canvas. Shirts carried the breezy lightness of deck chair coverings; the color palette drew inspiration from the chromatic studies of Josef Albers. 'These are hues that meet and transform,' said Tamburini, 'just as light changes the way we perceive things.' Who knew Tamburini isn't just a sharp designer, but something of a poet too?
