MM6 Maison Margiela Resort 2026 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.

MSGM Spring 2026 Menswear Collection

Milan isn't just the glossy Quadrilatero or a pit stop for luxury overtourism—at least not in Massimo Giorgetti's world. For him, the city is a living, shifting canvas where art, design, and underground music collide. 'Milan is expanding at the edges,' he says, 'where new creative communities are taking shape.' It's there that Giorgetti is finding new fuel, energized by welcoming these voices into his practice. This season, he scrapped the traditional runway show entirely; instead, his men's collection took over his store, transformed by a bold intervention from Milan-based Fosbury Architecture, who cloaked the space in a Christo-esque wrap that practically erased the retail fixtures. A lo-fi video by Turbo Studio set the tone, but the real star of the presentation was the 24.7 Fastlife Collective, a crew of young acrobatic bikers whose daredevil spirit inspired MSGM's take on men's, and that was also captured in the lookbook's images. 'I like to create collisions and accidents between different artistic languages,' Giorgetti said at a preview. Yet despite the talk of creative crashes, his ethos is anything but reckless. Giorgetti isn't out to shock, his approach is more conciliatory than confrontational. From the 24.7 Fastlife Collective, he drew not rebellion, but raw energy—the speed, the adrenaline, the rush. That vibe replaced logos on mesh tees and sweats with wording like Dopamine, Antidoping, and Endorphins, alongside nods to classic cycling culture; the Tour de France's yellow and the Giro d'Italia's pink jerseys, were reworked into sweats, cotton knits, and oversized shirting. The pieces were hybrid and functional, wired with a high-performance vibe. But Giorgetti, an avid mountain biker, dialed in a personal touch: natural landscapes snapped on his iPhone mid-ride were turned into prints on oversized shirting or knitted waistcoats. Pajama-like tailoring with contrasting piping was crafted from malleable triacetate jersey—the same fabric used for tracksuits—blending comfort with a sporty edge. In an out-of-context dash, Giorgetti turned thick floral Gobelin tapestry into a zip-up bomber with matching shorts, basically, haute upholstery with a BMX pulse. 'It's like wearing your living room armchair,' he joked. After all that high-speed biking adrenaline, a soft-landing crash straight into the couch would definitely be more than welcome.

‘Jaws @ 50' Gives Longtime Spielberg Historian Laurent Bouzereau Final Word On The Original Summer Blockbuster

Steven Spielberg, Director of Jaws and Director Laurent Bouzereau are pictured during an interview ... More for National Geographic's Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story. What can be said about Jaws that hasn't been said over the last 50 years? That was the big question for longtime Steven Spielberg documentarian Laurent Bouzereau (Faye, Music By John Williams) once he teamed up with Amblin and National Geographic to make Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, a star-studded look back at the original summer blockbuster, featuring brand-new interviews with Spielberg, screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, production designer Joe Alves, and many more. 'When we set it up at NatGeo I was like, 'Oh my God, there are so many documentaries on Jaws!' [There are so many] books. [Even] I've done a book! What is left to say about Jaws?'' Bouzereau remembers over Zoom. A valid fear. As one of the most iconic and influential movies of all time, the big screen adaptation of Peter Benchley's bestselling novel has endlessly been picked over and analyzed since it first took a bite out of the big screen on June 20, 1975. But if anyone could pull off a new angle, it was Bouzereau, who is not only chummy with Spielberg (no pun intended), but also brings a uniquely international perspective to the topic. 'I grew up in France, and we didn't have summer blockbusters,' he explains. 'It's changed now, but essentially, big movies came out in the fall or the early fall. So I didn't really grow up with that concept of the summer blockbuster.' He wouldn't become familiar with the idea until arriving in the United States for the first time in 1977, the year of a certain game-changing space opera. One of the first things Bouzereau saw upon entering the airport in Athens, Georgia was an issue of People with R2-D2 and C-3PO on the front cover. 'I said, 'What's that? I want to see that!' So that's summer blockbuster [for me], it's People magazine. I think it established a certain type of expectation of big films … [Jaws] certainly gave birth to a much bigger recognition of the impact that a film can have on an audience and how the audience wants to live it [with] merchandising, books, and knowing the secrets behind them. Building a whole mythology around a cinematic experience, down to having a [theme] park ride. Jaws is beginning of that movement, which, of course, explodes even bigger with Star Wars." Nevertheless, Jaws (or Les Dents de la Mer — aka The Teeth of the Sea — as it was titled in French) sparked a major cinematic 'awakening' in the future filmmaker, who was around 13-years-old in the summer of '75. 'It was such a phenomenon, that it immediately [drove home] the importance of the director for me,' Bouzereau says. 'From that day on, I wanted to see everything Steven Spielberg ever made, and that name became symbolic of a dream for me, much more than the film itself. It was the realization of the power of images in the hands of an incredible artist … I was mesmerized by the shots and, of course, the economy of the first scene where you never see the shark and [hear] the music by John Williams. So everything was sort of summarized in that one movie, not to mention that I collected all the lobby cards and poster. My bedroom was wall-to-wall Jaws. But it was not a fanatical thing. It was really an awakening for me as an appreciator and it never left me. Sometimes, I go back to that initiation I got from Jaws as a young kid and remember those feelings of the very first time [I saw it]. It's like a first of anything." Half a century later, and Bouzereau found himself sitting across from Spielberg, free to ask any and all questions about the movie that changed both their lives. Rather than focus on the making of Jaws, a topic that had been covered so extensively over the years, the former angled for a thematic exploration of the classic picture, viewing its turbulent production as a reflection of the plot itself. Like Brody (Roy Scheider), Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and Quint (Robert Shaw) searching for and battling the man-eating shark, principal photography 'became a story of survival," Bouzereau notes, later adding, 'I think it's about not giving up. It's the human experience, right?' He continues: "The first time I sat down with Steven, I felt the humanity that we know from anything he's done — before Jaws and after. He was so young then, that it was still forming in a sense. But it was so mature and so much of it was there, that you can look at Jaws and say, 'That's the man who did Schindler's List years later,' and not blink at that association because his humanity is just so obvious. Not only in the story and the way that he put it together, but in his own journey as an artist making it, what he's learned from it, and how it affected him. I felt that story had not been told.'

More of Universal Studios Licensing LLC) While the film's runaway success skyrocketed the 26-year-old wunderkind to the top of Hollywood's A-list pretty much overnight, Spielberg understandably did not recover from the trauma of a production marked by one setback after another (the most notable obstacle being an animatronic shark that refused to cooperate in salty water) for years after. Such commitment to realism, a fierce desire to shoot on the Atlantic and work the local Martha's Vineyard populace into the frame, proved to be a double-edged sword. 'A few years before, Jaws would have been made on a soundstage with local background artists who were just coming off the set of another movie,' Bouzereau says. 'There would have been no sort of colorful characters like Craig Kingsbury [who played the ill-fated Ben Gardner] from Martha's Vineyard. Going there and realizing that Jaws is something that is passed on generation after generation on that particular island —that's a microcosm of what the impact of Jaws is.' But as Spielberg reveals in the documentary, he'd often sneak aboard the screen-used Orca on the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot tour and cry. 'Everybody knows it was a nightmare, but they all say it with laugh, because we can laugh at the fact that here is one of the best movies of all time,' Bouzereau adds. 'It could have been a disaster, but I think [Steven] said it with heart and humility in a truly inspiring way that I think feels relatable for anyone, especially young people who are starting a career in anything, and feel like, 'Wow, I just learned that from my own craft.'' Speaking of which, Jaws @ 50 devotes a good amount of attention to the acclaimed storytellers who, like Bouzereau, grew up to be directors after seeing Jaws: Guillermo del Toro, J.J. Abrams, Cameron Crowe, Jordan Peele, Steven Soderbergh, Robert Zemeckis, and James Cameron. 'To really see the impact it had on some of the most important filmmakers of our times, to see the the lessons that they got from Jaws, was was eye-opening to me," admits Bouzereau. 'Because it wasn't just, 'Oh, I love the movie. It scared me.' You know, the usual sound bites. It was a very profound and big discovery for me. I also think the other aspect of the film that I had not really known about, even though it was in plain sight, was how it affected the ocean and [led to] sharks being massacred … The fascination with this novel and this movie have changed the dialogue about the ocean. I don't know if there are many movies that have had that kind of social impact. "Very few works of art turn 50 and are relevant today. I don't have any children, but I have nieces and nephews, and I have forced them to watch Jaws, and now they're forcing their kids to watch it. So it's something that's passed on, and it's pretty extraordinary to see that 50 years later. Listen, I asked myself a lot of questions if I was still relevant when I turned 50. Jaws doesn't have that problem.' 'Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story' Jaws @ 50 premieres exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu Thursday, July 10
