Miley Cyrus Is Maison Margiela’s New Muse
As one of the biggest advocates for Maison Margiela, who else but Miley Cyrus could be the first-ever face of Maison Margiela?
This week, the pop singer was unveiled as the house’s newest ambassador, and the star of its Autumn/Winter 2025 campaign, shot by Paolo Roversi.
The campaign consists of a series of painterly portraits, which harken back to the label’s origins. To highlight the Avant-Première Collection, the photos incorporate a white-overpaint bianchetto technique that was introduced back in 1989.
“The nudes by Paolo are so iconic and signature to his art,” Cyrus said in a statement. “Standing naked for a fashion campaign felt major, all I wore was body paint and the signature painted Tabi boots. In that moment, Margiela and I became one.”
Hailey Bieber, Bill Skarsgård, Rosé, and More Lead New Saint Laurent Campaign
For the Fall 2025 Saint Laurent campaign, creative director Anthony Vaccarello recruited quite the starry cast to take part.
The lineup of models includes: Hailey Bieber, Rosé, Liu Wen, Bill Skarsgård, Song Jia, Anok, Binx, Loli Bahia, Bukwop Kir, Jesse Sachet-Dufraisse, Grace Hartzel, and Pascal Thulin. Talk about star power.
Photographed and directed by iconic photographer Gray Sorrenti, the campaign highlights the house’s luxury leather goods, distinct suiting, and hot new accessories, like the Icarino handbag.

DVF x Henry Zankov Team Up for a Vibrant Collaboration
The connections between Diane von Furstenberg and Henry Zankov go way back.
Prior to launching his namesake label in 2020, Zankov worked at DVF for four years. “It wasn’t until I worked with Diane von Furstenberg that I was really able to get into color, because she’s such a color person,” he told W magazine back in 2024.
Now, the Russian-born designer has teamed up with his former employer for a vibrant new capsule that fuses the iconic prints of DVF with the rich fabrics and hues of Zankov.
The collaboration officially goes on sale September 15 at Bergdorf Goodman, the DVF flagship in the Meatpacking District, and online, but you can sign up for the pre-sale now at this link.
Sarah Burton Recruits Models and Crew to Star in Her New Givenchy Winter 2025 Shoot
“The beauty of all women inspires me–including my team,” Sarah Burton said while talking about the shoot for her new Fall/Winter 2025 Givenchy campaign. “I wanted to capture the brilliant women I work with amongst the cast—real moments with everyone working together.”
Burton did just that, teaming up with trusted collaborators like stylist Camilla Nickerson, makeup artist Lucia Pieroni, and photographer Collier Schorr for her first-ever campaign as creative director of the storied French fashion house.
Across a series of lively, candid photos, Burton highlights the power of the designs by utilizing a mix of models (including Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Nyaduola Gabriel, Kaia Gerber, Eva Herzigova, Emeline Hoareau, and Liu Wen) as well as people who worked behind the scenes on the shoot.

Christina Ricci Celebrates Her Inner Child With Betsey Johnson
Many of us were inspired by Christina Ricci’s work as a child actor, specifically her star-making turn as Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton’s Addams Family films of the 1990s. And it seems that era was important to Ricci too, because she embraces her inner child, and a bit of that gothic Addams aesthetic, in a new campaign for Betsey Johnson.
Throughout the shoot, Ricci sits on playground swings, carries giant stuffed animals, poses in front of a horse carousel and more, all while modeling articles from the Betsey Johnson Fall 2025 collection.
In a series of statement-making looks, these photos represent the power in being yourself, something that has been true to the work of both Ricci and Johnson. You can shop the newest collection here, and also, check out Ricci’s curated edit for the fashion house here.
Alaïa Unveils Its First Entirely-Outdoor Campaign, Captured on the Shores of France
For the first-ever campaign Maison Alaïa campaign shot entirely outdoors, creative director Pieter Mulier took to the northern shores of France, where he recruited models Loli Bahia and Nastassia Legrand to sport his otherwordly designs from the Fall 2025 collection.
In the black-and-white shoot, captured by Tyrone Lebon and filmed by Frank Lebon, the women look like figures from a historical work of art—but in clothes that feel totally of the now. “The photographs seem to belong to an imaginary geography,” the press release states. “A time out of time. They transcend any fixed notion of era or place, evoking many histories at once. Is that not the very definition of timelessness? Is that not the very essence of Alaïa?”
With this shoot, Mulier wants to emphasize what an Alaïa woman can be: “Pure. Powerful. Raw. Free, and at times, even wild.” He certainly succeeds.
