louis vuitton | the lv mirage 2026 collection with nada debs

Glenn Martens has spent the last few years turning denim into a high-fashion fever dream and now he is applying that same experimental energy to the way we pack our bags. Diesel is officially entering the travel category with a collection of suitcases, duffels and backpacks designed for those who prefer to travel boldly. 

While this launch marks the first comprehensive luggage collection under the brand’s primary line, Diesel has spent years flirting with the travel category through various collaborations. They previously teamed up with Samsonite for a high-visibility range of semi-transparent suitcases and worked with Mandarina Duck on rugged, textile-heavy bags.

Developed alongside the Canton Unicorn Group, the range focuses on industrial design that acts as a visual statement compared to any other standard piece of cargo. The partnership also emphasises sustainability, ensuring the bags are built to withstand international travel’s rigours.

Brushed metals and utilitarian technical treatments replace the typical shiny plastics found at baggage reclaim. Under Martens’ creative direction, the collection uses matte textures and pop graphics to stretch the boundaries of what traditional travel pieces look like. 

You can choose from six different treatments, including aluminium-inspired hard cases for serious protection and logo-driven soft luggage for those who travel light. The colour palette sticks to the brand’s rugged roots with silver, khaki, bronze and black, though a distinctive all-over printed travel sticker design provides a louder option for anyone wanting to reinforce Diesel’s graphic identity.

Functionality has not been sacrificed for the sake of the aesthetic, as the engineering behind the bags is surprisingly meticulous. The suitcases feature silent universal wheels with 360-degree smooth rotation and TSA-approved locks to keep everything secure during transit. Inside, the layout is organised with specific pockets for electronics, toiletries and clothing, making it a functional tool as much as an accessory. 

The collection is available worldwide through Diesel stores and their digital platforms across EMEA, NAM and Japan. Find out more here.

“The starting point for this collection was to revisit the fundamental elements that make up a garment and rethink them from the ground up,” said designer Ziggy Chen. An early proponent of quiet luxury, there is an unfinished history that exists in Ziggy Chen’s clothing each season. Fragments of the past are observed, displaced, and reassembled through a contemporary sensibility. Colours are muted and restrained. The construction is honest and raw, and pieces are made of natural fibres, wool, cashmere, hemp, linen, and silk. 

So, ‘Dissparation’ is a fitting name for Ziggy Chen and his Fall/Winter 2026 collection, alike, “Dissaparation moves at the edges of perception. It is not defined by what is immediately visible, but by what shifts, separates, and recomposes over time,” read the program, and approaching his 15th anniversary, Chen’s proof that restraint has staying power. 

“I see the past ten years as an ongoing process of learning. Looking back, my understanding of the industry was quite limited at the beginning,” said Chen. “Even after more than a decade, there are still many long-established techniques within this industry that I continue to study and learn from,” he added.

It can be said that a Ziggy Chen collection is a thumb through the familiar. A beat-up leather jacket that feels like a luxurious treasure. A sturdy pair of trousers that once felt too small, but now fits just right, and that paper boy hat that you’d only seen in sepia-colored photographs on your grandfather’s nightstand, suddenly feels like it was made just for you, because it was.

Wearing a Jeff Koons sculpture is significantly easier than trying to fit one through your front door. This January, Stella McCartney is proving that point by launching a limited-edition collectors’ capsule that merges her signature organic cotton with some of the most recognisable imagery in contemporary art. The collaboration is a one-of-a-kind union between two leading creative forces who happen to be longtime friends. By bringing together fashion and art, as well as kitsch and craft, the duo has created a wardrobe that feels like a playful conversation between their respective worlds.

Amelia Gray stars in the sexy campaign wearing an organic cotton t-shirt that eagle-eyed fans might remember from the Winter 2025 runway. It features Koons’ ‘Untitled (Girl with Dolphin and Monkey)’ artwork slapped alongside Stella’s own ‘Slippery When Wet’ slogan, a cheeky callback to her debut collection in 2001. 

The collection also introduces a quirky ‘Doggy Style’ message paired with illustrations of Koons’ famous Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle sculptures. These canine images were personally selected by McCartney herself from the artist’s 1991 ‘Made in Heaven’ series, ensuring the animal-loving spirit of the brand remains front and centre.

This is not the first time these two have played in the same sandbox. Their history includes kaleidoscopic gowns from 2006 and a platinum Rabbit sculpture bracelet from 2005. For this 2026 drop, a tiny number of those iconic Rabbit pendants will be re-released exclusively at the Stella McCartney SoHo boutique by appointment. The broader capsule, launching alongside the Spring 2026 collection, includes two iconic tanks, a hoodie and a classic tee alongside a chunky turtleneck made from RWS-certified wool.

Collectors looking for something truly rare should head to the New York store, where a selection of pieces signed by both the artist and the designer will be available. These specific items are uniquely customised with lead-free crystals, fringing and more hand-applied detailing, making them genuine investment pieces. For everyone else, a series of t-shirts hand-signed by Jeff Koons will be available online. 

The Stella McCartney x Jeff Koons collection is now available here.
