http://www.FTV.com/videos MILAN – FashionTV is backstage at the CNC Costume National show where head designer Ennio Capasa tells us a little more detail about the collection. “My starting point to redefine the modernism of today is to redefine the graphicism of the ’60s, which I found very interesting because it was the first time the culture tried to be essential and modern. And I like this approach…” he says.The label showcases uniquely cut dresses which are shaped in an A-line and coats that look like a cross between a trench and a park. It has interesting shoulders and big pockets. “I tried to mix modernism with the sense of travel and with a sense of useful clothes like the parka,” He adds a creative kick to very useful pieces.

Experience the effortless tailoring and vibrant colors of Paul Smith’s complete S/S 27 Milan presentation by watching the full show now on FTV!

Taking over a sunlit, historic courtyard during the peak of Milan Fashion Week, British design icon Sir Paul Smith unveiled his highly anticipated spring/summer 2027 collection.

Renowned for his ability to inject classic British eccentricity into sophisticated European tailoring, Smith used the Milanese stage to present a vibrant love letter to ease, travel, and contemporary prep.

The S/S 27 showcase masterfully leaned away from rigid corporate structures, pivoting instead toward an effortless, “holiday-infused” attitude tailored for the modern global traveler. The collection was a breathtaking study in color theory and textile fluidity.

Moving away from heavy winter weights, the runway came alive with lightweight, breathable linen-silk blends, fluid seersucker, and crisp unlined cottons. Smith’s signature stripes were playfully deconstructed, appearing on oversized, breezy bowling shirts, fluid wide-leg trousers, and relaxed, double-breasted blazers.

The color palette brilliantly contrasted the warmth of the Mediterranean with the label’s signature pop aesthetics, anchored by sandy beiges, dusty sage greens, and terracotta, then punctuated by brilliant bursts of cerulean blue, lavender, and soft marigold yellow.

By expertly pairing soft, unstructured tailoring with casual luxury sneakers and woven sandals, Paul Smith delivered a refreshing, optimistic blueprint for warm-weather dressing that captivated the Milanese crowd.

Step inside the magnificent, rule-breaking chaos of “An Annoying Summer Fairy Tale” and watch the full Simon Cracker S/S 27 show firsthand on FashionTV!

For those who view the arrival of scorching mid-year heatwaves with absolute dread rather than delight, Simon Cracker’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection is a glorious, defiant anthem.

Aptly titled “An Annoying Summer Fairy Tale,” the latest offering from the brand is an explicit nod to anyone who simply cannot deal with summer. Instead of offering predictable, pristine resort wear, Cracker leans entirely into his signature aesthetic chaos – blending childhood nostalgia, upcycled bridal tulle, and a punk-rock refusal to take the fashion industry too seriously.

The collection began not with abstract mood boards, but with the brand’s actual inner circle. Treating his diverse crew like real-life paper dolls, Cracker built each look around the unique physical and creative identities of his friends, casting them as the princes, fairies, and “Cracker queens” of this fractured fable. It is a real-world version of Gira la Moda, where people come first and the clothes follow. To construct this magnificent, anti-summer universe, Cracker conceptually tossed forty wedding dresses into a giant blender, entirely disrupting traditional silhouettes.

Millions of ruffles, layers of crinoline, and explosive tulle are reassembled into avant-garde, mushroom-shaped capes with bows, creating textures designed to mimic the organic look of mold growing on summer citrus fruits. The fabrication strikes a brilliant balance between raw streetwear and couture-level experimentation. Everyday denim is juxtaposed with fine satin and silk, boiled and dyed until the materials warp into heavy, structural sculptures. Light, breezy summer outerwear is cleverly repurposed from crisp white cotton bedsheets, boiled down and dyed in an earthy yet vibrant palette of sage, blue, and magenta.

Nodding to the sweaty reality of the season, the scorching heat is manifested through a “melted ice lolly” effect, where vivid, gooey resins appear to drip directly onto platform sandals, sunglasses frames, iconic Dr. Martens 1461 shoes, and the brand’s signature “Saccoccia” handbags.

http://youtube.com/FashionTV MAMAIA – The FashionTV Summer Festival was in Mamaia, Romania this year, and it began with an haute couture swimwear show by famous Romanian designer Catalin Botezatu. The presentation featured a detailed and beautiful collection where the male models came out with wings and the female models were exquisitely done up to look like elves, the theme of the collection, while still presenting the gorgeous “barely-there” swimwear. Models had hair twisted up atop the head in coils, beads along the brow, and glittery makeup. Some wore massive metallic capes. Catalin Botezatu really outdid himself this time.

Step into the heart of Italian savoir-faire, watch the exclusive Pitti Uomo 110 presentation of the Cuoio di Toscana x Paul Andrew “He(ART)” collection on FashionTV!

The Fortezza da Basso witnessed a masterclass in Italian footwear heritage as Cuoio di Toscana took center stage at Pitti Uomo 110.

The renowned consortium, which has championed the pinnacle of Made in Italy sole leather for over forty years, unveiled “He(ART)” – a limited-edition capsule collection born from a creative alliance with world-renowned footwear designer Paul Andrew.

Presented to an exclusive global audience of press, opinion leaders, and international guests in Florence, the dynamic exhibition brought the leather to life. Models traversed the space, showcasing a collection in which sole leather is treated not merely as a technical component but as an expression of pure identity and sculptural art.

The showcase featured standout designs like Softy, an ultra-flexible unisex loafer; Facet, a striking sandal with a jewel heel mimicking Cuoio di Toscana’s iconic green; and Intertwist, a series defined by intricate, handwoven leather strips.

Crucially, the presentation looked to the future. The runway styling was developed in collaboration with young, emerging talents from Istituto Marangoni Firenze, cementing the Consortium’s dedication to passing generational craftsmanship down to the next wave of global design.

As a perfect convergence of heritage tanneries, contemporary mastery, and youth innovation, “He(ART)” marks only the opening chapter of an international journey for Cuoio di Toscana this season.
