By Malene Birger Resort 2026 Collection

A scan of By Malene Birger's resort lookbook suggests that all is business as usual at the label, but that's not quite so; as brand director Barbara Gullstein said on a call, we should think of resort 2026 as a 'transitional season.' This is because Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt, the newly appointed creative director who also owns the brand, is settling in. In the lead up to this transition, Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt spent about a year working side-by-side with Maja Dixdotter, the previous creative director, who had created a strong but minimal bohemian aesthetic for BMB.
Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt's use of double-face fabrics, fringe, and hide, along with her palette, continue in this vein. What's changed, explained Gullstein, is the framing of the work. The idea is that the nomad has returned from travels away. 'There has been a need of adapting the collection and making it a bit more wearable for that global woman who works and lives a real life,' Gullstein said, and it's 'these practical elements that play into how Emilie has approached this collection.'
The way the lookbook is photographed and styled—still images in a white room with a lone piece of furniture—is suggestive of a sense of interiority and perhaps of stocktaking. If a burgundy leather suit is pure business, a dreamy pale pink cable-knit sweater and skirt set is most definitely hyggelig, i.e. cozy.

Dolce & Gabbana embrace wrinkled romance for spring-summer 2026

MILAN (AP) — Dolce & Gabbana beckoned the warm weather with crumpled, take-me-anywhere comfort in their menswear collection for spring-summer 2026, previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday. The show opened and closed with a relaxed pajama silhouette — deliberately rumpled and effortless — in a clash of stripes, with both shorts and long trousers. The Beethoven soundtrack belied designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's more deliberate intent, underscoring the designers' structured approach to soft tailoring. A broad shoulder double-breasted suit jacket and tie worn with pink pinstriped PJ pants encapsulated the classic summer dilemma: work vs. pleasure. Raw knitwear, or furry overcoats, added texture. Boxers peeked out of waistbands, and big shirt cuffs out of jacket sleeves, challenging formal and casual codes. Nothing was cleaner on the runway than a crisp striped pajama top in sky-blue and white stripes tucked into white leather Bermuda shorts — good for work and for play. The designers' finale featured pajama suits, shorts and pants, with beaded floral patterned embroidery for an evening seaside shimmer, worn with fuzzy sliders. Twin cameo brooches gave an antique accent. The crowd outside got to share in the fun when the finale models took the looks onto the streets, taking a full lap outside the designers' Metropol theater. Front-row guests included actors Zane Phillips, Theo James, Lucien Laviscount and Michele Morrone.
