Post Malone has spent the last year proving that his transition into the fashion world is anything but a side quest. After bringing a literal horse onto a Parisian runway for his brand’s debut in September, the artist – now firmly in his ‘Austin Post’ era – has launched the first chapter of his ‘Studio Series.’ This inaugural drop is a collaboration with LA-based artist Matt McCormick, a man who has spent his career dissecting the same grit and glamour of the American West that Malone is currently obsessed with.

If you’ve followed McCormick’s own label, One of These Days, or seen his charcoal drawings on album covers for the likes of Bad Bunny or Zach Bryan, you’ll know his style: it’s charcoal cowboys, Marlboro-red nostalgia and the dusty but cinematic Americana wardrobe. For this capsule, Malone and his team actually decamped to McCormick’s studio to dig into the visual language of his practice. The result is a five-silhouette collection which includes heavy-duty hoodies, crewnecks and tees, that serves as a wearable extension of McCormick’s paintings.

The collection leans heavily on two of McCormick’s exclusive works, ‘Among The Low Light’ and ‘Ceremony of Certainty.’ These graphics are integrated with ‘At First Light – Season One’ typography, a direct visual reference to the brand’s AW25 runway show that recently set the tone for the label’s future. The colour palette stays true to the ‘modern cowboy’ aesthetic with muted, earthy tones that look better the more they’re worn.

For McCormick, the cowboy is a symbol of masculinity and cultural myth that he’s been unpacking since watching Westerns with his dad. “The reality is it could be a cowboy, or it could be something else – the fact that the feeling got through and resonated is the best part,” says the artist. “I’m a huge fan of Richard Prince and seeing what he had done with the Marlboro advertisements and taking ownership of those, there’s a lot about masculinity, about how my country exists in the world. There’s just a lot that comes from that imagery.”

By teaming up with Post Malone, who is currently the poster child for the ‘Post-modern Cowboy’ movement, the collaboration embodies a genuine dialogue between two guys who just really love the desert.

The capsule collection is available exclusively on Austin-Post.com.

Emily Cooper has officially traded her croissants for carbonara and Fendi is making sure her Roman holiday looks the part. To mark the arrival of Season 5 of ‘Emily in Paris’ on Netflix today, the Roman house has dropped a special capsule collection that essentially captures Emily’s pivot from Parisian chic to Italian maximalism. 

If you thought Emily’s wardrobe was already dialled up to eleven, wait until you see her navigating Rome with a mint-green tapestry Baguette in tow. It is the ultimate main character accessory, and while her postcode has changed, that “It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette” energy remains entirely undefeated. This is the fashion crossover for a show that half the internet claims to hate-watch while secretly scouring the frames for outfit inspiration.

The collection focuses on three of Fendi’s most sacred and iconic shapes, specifically two Baguettes and one Peekaboo bag, all reinterpreted through the House’s codes. The standout feature is a tapestry-effect fabric that introduces the Fendi Dots motif, a clever hybrid of the iconic FF logo and Art Deco polka dots. The colour palette is delightfully clashing, featuring colour-block combinations like a soft brown paired with candy pink or a sophisticated dove grey offset by a punchy mint green. Each piece comes with a dedicated tag to prove you were part of the Season 5 hype.

What makes this drop feel particularly meta is that Lily Collins actually wears the collection throughout the new season. Viewers will spot Emily navigating her new Roman adventures while carrying the Baguette through the Fendi headquarters at the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana and the flagship store at Palazzo Fendi.

It is a full-circle moment for a bag that became a cultural phenomenon in the late 90s. As the internet says, the Roman Empire is no longer just a meme; for Emily Cooper, it’s a lifestyle.

The capsule is available in a very limited release at selected Fendi boutiques and online from today, coinciding exactly with the binge-watch release of the new episodes.

Casablanca has always had a soft spot for escapism, but for Resort 2026, the fantasy feels a little closer to home. This season, Charaf Tajer turns his gaze to Los Angeles, a city that has long hovered in the brand’s orbit and now feels especially personal following the opening of their first US flagship on Santa Monica Boulevard. 

Photographed by Corentin Leroux, the campaign leans into a much moodier, more intimate side of LA than we’re used to seeing. Using the legendary Sheats-Goldstein Residence as a playground, the John Lautner-designed landmark provides a properly cinematic backdrop, with its sharp modernist lines and dramatic views softened by a very un-Californian bout of rain. The whole atmosphere reminds of a high-end 70s penthouse scene, just without any of the tacky interiors or questionable carpet choices.

British model and actress Iris Law leads the cast, drifting through the house as if caught mid-moment. Law feels like a natural Casablanca muse, embodying a kind of undone nonchalance as she lounges on sofas, snacks in the kitchen and gazes out over the Beverly Hills valley.

The clothes follow suit with a palette of pastels offset by deeper hits of oxblood and royal navy, giving the whole collection a soft but grounded feel. Tailoring and preppy silhouettes are sharpened with monogram trims and bold side stripes, continuing the brand’s long-standing dialogue between sportswear and elegance. It’s a formula Tajer has been perfecting since his early collections, but here it feels more relaxed. Elsewhere, silk shirts carry ombré gradients and surreal orchid motifs – the dreamlike prints that have become a brand signature – recalling earlier seasons where tennis courts and Mediterranean fantasies merged into one.

Knitwear has been refreshed with textured waffle knits and mohair blends, while the denim arrives in pink, psychedelic green and a reverse-colour black monogram that feels playful without tipping into novelty. Footwear grounds the look, with the Del Mar and Stade sneakers returning as familiar anchors for Casablanca’s growing lifestyle universe.

There is a real sense of continuity here. Like previous collections that looked to Monaco or Athens, Resort 2026 captures a location through mood rather than the usual postcard imagery. This time, LA is quieter, more introspective and perhaps more real.

The Casablanca Resort 2026 collection is available now online and at selected fashion retailers worldwide.
