Pardon the obvious reference, but spring — both in nature and in fashion — is a time for rebirth. Or at the very least, a time for newness. This season, the industry is rife with collaborations, including one of fashion’s reigning divas emerging from the cocoon of retirement for an unlikely partnership. Elsewhere, a storied Maison is gearing up for fashion month by adding another size to one of its newest (and already beloved) bag ranges and a heritage brand teams up with one of the darlings of British fashion for a collection that would have Sporty Spice in a chokehold. What else? Well, you’ll have to read on to find out.
Weekend Max Mara Releases A New Collection In Collaboration With Robert Rabensteiner
For its latest autumn/winter 26 Signature Collection, Weekend Max Mara is taking us north. To the mountains, that is. Teaming up with renowned stylist and former editor-at-large of L’Uomo Vogue, Robert Rabensteiner, the collection, titled “Into the Forest: A Weekend with Robert Rabensteiner,” is what you would picture a dignified Milanese woman wearing on her weekend getaway to the Dolomites. In the Dree Hemingway-fronted campaign, outerwear takes inspiration from traditional Austrian coats, while the colour palette is equal parts rich and earthy, shot through with zips of red, purple and blue. Perfect for any intrepid explorers planning to spend the summer months in Aspen.
The Into the Forest: A Weekend with Robert Rabensteiner collection is available in Max Mara boutiques and online now.
Tiffany & Co. Unveils A New HardWare By Tiffany Collection
You’ve never seen HardWare like this before. Celebrating the house’s history of coloured gemstones, Tiffany & Co. has unveiled a new addition to its HardWare by Tiffany range, and this time, it incorporates the brand’s signature blue. Inspired by a Tiffany & Co. necklace worn by American philanthropist and art collector, Rachel Lambert “Bunny” Mellon, the collection sees carefully selected turquoise stones, sourced from Mexico and the United States, adorn the iconic links of HardWare necklaces, bracelets and earrings alongside Japanese Akoya pearls. The range is a celebration of Tiffany & Co.’s technical prowess while celebrating the brand’s enduring dialogue with colour.
Tiffany & Co.’s new HardWare range is available to shop online and in Tiffany & Co. boutiques.
Cartier Relaunches The Iconic Roadster Watch
In 2002, the Cartier brothers, inspired by the mechanical world and technological advancement, released the Roadster — a robust timepiece that featured a speedometer-inspired dial, a conical crown and a bold, powerful design. Now, 14 years later, Cartier is reintroducing the style, only reimagined for 2026 by over a hundred artisans. The same sleek silhouette as the original has been retained, but its technical capabilities have been levelled up by way of Cartier’s signature self-winding mechanical movements: the 1847 MC for large models and the 1899 MC for medium models. Aesthetically, the watch’s proportions have been redefined, the lines sharpened and the ergonomics honed, with three finishes for wearers to choose from: gold, steel, and one style which combines both.
Cartier Roadster is available online and in boutiques now.

Donatella Versace And Revolve Are Joining Forces
Well, we didn’t see that coming. After stepping back from Versace in 2025 before it was sold to the Prada Group last December, it seems that Donatella was not content with retirement. Instead, she’s throwing herself into a new creative pursuit with Revolve, where she’ll helm a fashion and beauty brand that, based on a statement posted to Instagram, will target the “next generation.” “REVOLVE understands something I believe deeply: culture comes from connection,” the caption read. “Together, we want to create that connection with a new voice, a new look and a new energy.”
Simone Rocha And Adidas Originals’ Sweet And Sporty Collab Has Arrived At Incu
At surface level, Simone Rocha and Adidas Originals aren’t the most likely to bedfellows. But sometimes, that’s what makes a partnership all the more interesting.

The Simone Rocha x Adidas Originals collection is available to shop now exclusively at Incu in The Galeries Sydney’s Women’s store, Melbourne QV stores and online.

The Cigale collection is available in Dior boutiques and online now.

Inspired by the Earth, Sun and Moon (very astrological of them), the collection sees new characters appear across T-shirts and sweatshirts in the UT collection, alongside a handful of plush charms that would look very sweet hanging off a handbag.
The Uniqlo KAWS collection is available to shop in stores and online.

Teyana Taylor Is The New Face Of Calvin Klein
Teyana Taylor is having quite the year, and now, she can add Calvin Klein campaign star to her ever-growing résumé. The actor and performer fronts the brand’s Fall 2026 underwear campaign, slipping into its new Perfectly Fit Custom Lift bra while putting it to the test with some seriously impressive choreography. Directed and photographed by Gordon von Steiner, the campaign draws on Taylor’s background as a dancer, with the star moving to Tina Turner’s “The Best” to showcase the bra’s focus on movement, comfort and lift. “When I feel good in what I’m wearing, you can see it in the way I move,” Taylor said of the campaign.
