MM6 Maison Margiela Resort 2026 Menswear Collection
At MM6, taking familiar shapes and turning them inside out, upside down, and sideways is the gift that just keeps on giving.
With its spring 2026 Avant Première collection, the studio keeps its focus squarely on the product while also chasing up new adventures in abstraction. Clothing labels and linings rise to the surface on coats and shirts; a humble washed-out denim gets the haute peacoat treatment, knits appear lifted straight from the loom, ribbing still trailing; and elevated materials—notably leather—get crumpled like a brown paper bag from a convenience store.
Setting aside a few noisily branded pieces here and there—a blousy ice blue dress with tonal lettering comes to mind—this collection offers up a lot of clever, commercial, seriously covetable clothes. First among them: a trench cut to sit on the body two ways—one dramatic, the other faux-classic—with a glove belt in jersey that can actually be worn as gloves or cinched to create a sexy or structured look depending on the occasion. Margiela obsessives will clock the new spin on an iconic runway outing for spring 2000: in a burst of inspiration, the founding designer grabbed a bunch of stockings and used them as belts. In a witty twist, the glove idea cropped up again on the house's Numeric bag.
That sense of improv runs throughout a collection rife with easy essentials. Men's wardrobe classics are revisited with subtle tweaks to texture, cut, and drape. Sleeves, for example, are subtly gathered and scrunched on a trench, perfecto, and one of the sharpest peacoats we've seen lately. A spray-painted dot injects a white button-down or an overcoat with a DIY attitude. Archetypes are sourced from central casting—think Hollywood hunk as gas station attendant—teased with a light hand, in a sexy rumple, a roll of a sleeve, or low-slung jeans with a suiting waistband (or vice versa).
For women, the strongest pieces let the wearer make it her own, for example in slip dresses cut to be worn full-length, with bodice folded down into a tiered skirt or hem hiked up into a top. While those extra-sleeve numbers may look weird, on the body they had attitude and a real allure that will connect with MM6 diehards. Back for another round, too, was a disco ball of a silver dress that brought the party all on its own, like an in-joke transformed into clothing. That is exactly the appeal of MM6: what starts in one place ends up somewhere else entirely. As with any journey worth taking, the story happens in between, and on that note the Tabi-esque soft ballerina flats, or those square-toed oxfords for men, look like just the kind of shoe that will get you there.

Director Sarah Friedland and Actor Kathleen Chalfant on ‘Familiar Touch,' Their Exquisite Portrait of ‘Coming of Old Age'
Writer-director Sarah Friedland remembers her grandmother, a poetry editor, as a 'badass lefty intellectual' who wielded language with precision. When she later developed dementia and became nonverbal, Friedland, then studying dance, was struck by her symphony of movements. 'She would rock and tap certain rhythms and was so physically expressive,' the filmmaker recalls—although by that point, her family had been speaking of her in the past tense. 'That gap between the person that we were describing as no longer there and the person who was very much still in front of me haunted me for many years.' Friedland has drawn upon those experiences for her tender and heartrending debut feature, Familiar Touch. The film—which premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, winning best debut, best director, and best actress in the Orizzonti section—explores dementia and identity through Ruth (the regal, luminous Kathleen Chalfant), an octogenarian former cook whose life gently unravels and reconfigures when she moves into assisted living. Friedland calls it a 'coming of old age' film. 'I wanted to push back against that narrative of decline—the idea that older adults are diminishing,' she says. 'In the coming-of-age film, you see a character change, becoming a new or different version of themselves. There's this idea that our selfhood can shift and yet there's a continuity to it.' Friedland references the 2013 book Out of Time: The Pleasures and Perils of Ageing and author Lynne Segal's idea of temporal vertigo: 'As we grow older, you can access all of the selves you've been up until that moment. And as such, they kind of mingle and create this sense of vertigo.' Chalfant illustrates this in the film with exquisite subtlety, assuming by turns the disposition of a coy flirt and a take-charge kitchen taskmaster. A distinguished New York theater actor known for doing Angels in America on Broadway in 1994 and Wit off-Broadway in 1998, Chalfant was drawn to the role after her best friend, playwright Sybille Pearson, began to show signs of dementia seven years ago. 'At the time that I was given Familiar Touch to read, Sybille was in about the same place as Ruth,' Chalfant says. 'So the role was, in a way, a gift to Sybille, but even more, the character of Ruth was Sybille's gift to me. When I saw the movie for the first time, I realized how much of Sybille was on the screen.'

Jeff Bezos' Reportedly Marries Lauren Sanchez Next Week: What We Know About Venice Extravaganza
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former journalist Lauren Sánchez will reportedly get hitched next week in what is expected to be an opulent and controversial ceremony hosted in Venice, Italy, reportedly costing millions of dollars and mostly kept under wraps. Bezos and Sánchez will reportedly tie the knot this month. (Photo by Taylor Hill/FilmMagic) FilmMagic Many details reported about the wedding are speculative, though Venice mayor Luigi Brugnaro confirmed the event will take place in the floating city, telling Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera the wedding 'will have economic repercussions worth millions of euros for our city.' The wedding will be a 'multiday celebration,' according to The Wall Street Journal, noting the cost of the wedding will reach into the millions. Get Forbes Breaking News Text Alerts : We're launching text message alerts so you'll always know the biggest stories shaping the day's headlines. Text 'Alerts' to (201) 335-0739 or sign up here . Bezos and Sánchez are reportedly getting married on a Venetian island, according to the Journal. The geography of the small city is spread out across over 110 small islands, with the historical center taking up approximately two square miles. However, a spokesperson for Brugnaro told CNN in March the wedding will take place on Bezos' $500 million superyacht known as the Koru. The Koru is a 417-foot sailing yacht, the second-largest of its kind in the world, meaning it would need to be anchored away from Venice's Grand Canal due to its size. Conversely, 'No Space for Bezos,' a local group protesting the event, has said the wedding will take place in the historic Church of the Abbey of Misericordia, according to the BBC. Some locals in Venice, which has dealt with overtourism that has strained the city's infrastructure and services for years, will protest the wedding over concerns its scale will worsen some of the issues created by excessive tourist crowds. Activists have organized a 'No Space for Bezos' campaign opposing the wedding, posting banners and stickers throughout the city. Federica Toninelli, a Venetian activist with 'No Space for Bezos,' told Reuters the wedding is also a 'symbol of the exploitation of the city by outsiders.' Protesters have threatened to block access to canals and city streets in an effort to block wedding attendees from reaching party venues in the city, according to Variety. Another protester told The Independent allowing the wedding to proceed creates the idea 'a city can be sold to the highest bidder with the most money.' Brugnaro has spoken out against the protesters and tried to reassure them the city is capable of handling the event, citing its hosting of the Venice Film Festival and G7 Summit. Brugnaro said he was 'ashamed of those who behave like this,' Variety reported. Protest organizers have criticized Brugnaro, insisting demonstrations will be peaceful. How Many People Are Attending The Wedding And Who Is On The Guest List? Venice officials have said the guest list for Bezos and Sánchez's wedding is limited to 200 people. It is not known for certain who will be attending the wedding, but TMZ reported a handful of celebrities received invites including Eva Longoria, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Jewel Kilcher, noting Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, in addition to Karlie Kloss and husband Joshua Kushner also made the list. Many people on the purported list, such as Longoria and Perry, are friends with Bezos and/or Sánchez. Guests who attended Sánchez's bachelorette party in Paris in May included Jenner, Kardashian, Perry, Longoria, entrepreneur Elsa Marie Collins, philanthropist Natasha Poonawalla and Fox Sports host Charissa Thompson. When Is The Wedding? The wedding will take place from June 24 to June 26, CNN reported, citing Brugnaro's spokesperson, though some reports have claimed a June 26 to June 29 celebration. How Much Will The Wedding Cost? Multiple reports have said the wedding will predictably cost millions of dollars. The Journal reported a luxury wedding with 200 guests such as Bezos' costs about $4 million, citing Jamie Simon, director of events at luxury planning firm Banana Split, which organized the multiday wedding between Sofia Richie Grainge and Atlantic Records CEO Elliot Grainge in 2023. The Journal reported Lanza & Baucina, a London-based group that planned George and Amal Clooney's 2014 wedding in Venice, has been hired by Bezos and Sánchez. A representative for the group told the Journal its principles and the instructions of Bezos call for the 'minimizing of any disruption to the city, the respect for its residents and institutions and the overwhelming employment of locals in the crafting of the events.' Forbes Valuation We estimate Bezos' net worth at $225 billion as of Friday, making him the fourth-wealthiest person in the world behind Mark Zuckerberg ($236.5 billion), Larry Ellison ($251.9 billion) and Elon Musk ($407.4 billion), Key Background Bezos and Sánchez met almost ten years ago and began making public appearances together around 2019, when the two began dating. They became engaged in 2023 aboard the Koru superyacht, with Bezos offering Sánchez a 30-carat cushion cut pink diamond set in platinum, according to Vanity Fair. The couple's upcoming wedding in Venice is not unprecedented, as the floating city also hosted the wedding of George and Amal Clooney in 2014, when the two tied the knot at the Venice Town Hall. The wedding had a generally positive perception, with locals lauding Clooney for his consideration and respect for Venice.
