The Cruise 2026 season is in full swing. Chanel transported us to Lake Como, while Gucci ventured deep into the archives (literally). Louis Vuitton traveled to Avignon ( a city in southeastern France’s Provence region) for its Cruise 2026 showcase. Nicolas Ghesquière, who has served as creative director since 2013, welcomed guests inside the historic Palais des Papes. The front row inside the medieval landmark was stacked with the likes of Sophie Turner, Cate Blanchett, Catherine Deneuve, and France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron. Models took to the runway adorned in an assortment of opulent, sharp, and armor-like designs. Metallics, fur, and lavish embellishments reigned supreme. “Women’s armor for everyday life,” Ghesquière told WWD backstage.

Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Nicolas Ghesquière’s in a league of his own. Beyond!” [Kanzai]

“FATHER IS FATHERING!” [helmutnotdead]

“I feel challenged, I feel intrigued, I feel questioned and then, two seconds later, it’s pure love. Seriously, Nicolas has been on a roll since his 10-year show.” [yslforever]

“Love it. I think it’s quite a sumptuous, rich and layered collection. That excess of jacquard, lurex, shine, shine shine! I really love the oversized jacquard t-shirt dresses, that insane gold blazer, the A-line knitted dresses. The shoes and bags are also fabulous.” [Lola701]

“FANTASTIC collection and show! When Ghesquière is on he’s marvelous, and he was ON for this collection!” [VogueDisciple93]

“That was GREAT! The bags were gorgeous and will sell very well. The set and music were spectacular as well. One of the few Louis Vuitton collections from NG that I can say I love.” [Salvatore]

“Lovely show. The shapes are very familiar, like a compilation really. Revisiting his history at a historic place, cool. But the real charm here is all the textiles, patterns, prints, the colors, the embellishment. This is what is missing from fashion – something evocative, doing that bridge past and present. Thank God for Nicolas!” [Alquimista]

The covers of Vogue Italia might not hit like they once used to (under the late great Franca Sozzani) but that doesn’t stop Francesca Ragazzi from securing a plethora of A-list talent for the cover of the magazine.

Also far from impressed was ah ah. “The Vogue Italia team is clueless. This makes absolutely no sense!” they stated in total shock.

“Ugh, this is a new (new new new…) low,” shrieked thatsfierce.

“My nephews could easily do this on Canva. Such a non event,” voiced Kanzai.

“Gosh. I love Alba, and usually appreciate Bea De Giacom’s work… but this is tragic,” confessed forum member carla56.

You just have to hand it to Inma Jimenez Mateos of Harper’s Bazaar Spain, who sure does have an impressive knack for securing the crème de la crème from the world of fashion and beyond as the magazine’s cover stars. Over recent months alone, the likes of Gal Gadot, Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth Hurley, Constance Jablonski, Eva Herzigova, and Jessica Chastain have covered the Spanish fashion title. Up next on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Spain is Carla Bruni. Captured by photographer Philip Gay, the Italian-born French model (and former First Lady of France) stars across a twosome of covers. On styling duties for the occasion was Bazaar Spain’s fashion editor Claudia Laukamp, who pulled looks from Nina Ricci and Louis Vuitton for Bruni to showcase in the two cover photographs (in addition to a selection of jewelry pieces from Bulgari).

Carla Bruni for Harper’s Bazaar Spain April 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Two covers, and why do her fingers have to be on her mouth? The second one could’ve been good,” immediately called out WAVES upon checking out the covers.

“WTF! Why the fingers on both covers?” asked forum member Xone in complete agreement.

“It reminds me of when someone is trying to cover up a cold sore ,” voiced VanillaCrush. “Despite that, I absolutely love the cover with her in yellow. It’s perfect for April!”.

Oaklee91 declared: “What a letdown!”

“The second cover (with Carla in the Louis Vuitton) should’ve been the only cover. The first just feels… stupid. What an unattractive shot. The fingers over her month, and not even looking out toward us irks me to no end,” commented vogue28.

Ever since the girls of Blackpink burst onto the scene in 2016, we’ve has to become completely accustomed to the sight of the K-pop sensation within the world of fashion. The industry embraced the group like there was no tomorrow – and still to this day, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Lisa, for one, has graced just about every major fashion title on the market, including Vogue Korea and American ELLE (and everything else in between). Sarah Ball at WSJ Magazine is the latest editor to secure Lisa as cover girl. The Thai singer turned actress takes to the publication as a cover star for March 2025. Lisa poses for photographer Alasdair McLellan for the occasion, with stylist Alice Goddard dressing Lisa in a look from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Spring 2025 Louis Vuitton (to which Lisa is brand ambassador).

Lisa for WSJ. Magazine March 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Her team is working overtime. She’s cute on The White Lotus,” voiced Jacque Marcel.

“This Lisa girl looks like she’s just had a lobotomy in every photo I’ve ever seen of her. Dead face. Dead eyes,” critiqued a less than impressed blueorchid.

“I will never understand how someone as bland as her can be so popular. All these K-pop stars look and sound like AI,” Avonlea commented.

“This is tired,” noted forum member JPineapple.

Helmutnotdead described the outcome as “horrible” but do you agree?

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“OK, somebody needs to be fired for what they did to beautiful Anna Sawai. Talk about an actress who doesn’t need Photoshop or anything – and you come up with this clownish outfit, makeup, and photo? Seriously!” scolded BalkaniStaCouture.

“This cover is everything that is wrong with print media. Take a beautiful woman and make her look as ugly and drab as possible with the styling. Her face is amazing and should be the main focus,” Kiyoko chimed in.

“To think they paid someone $$$ for that hair!” expressed Toni Ahlgren.

HarpersBizarre asked: “Is this The Disaster Issue? Because it looks like one big catastrophe!”

You might not need to be reminded that Claire Thomson-Jonville is now heading up Vogue France, having replaced Eugénie Trochu (who served as editor from 2021 until late 2024). Thomson-Jonville continues to find her footing at the French fashion bible and has since welcomed Loli Bahia, Natasha Poly, and Addison Rae as cover stars. Up next on the cover of Vogue France is Vittoria Ceretti. No stranger to the cover of Vogue, the Italian beauty appears before the lens of photographer Carin Backoff. In the nonchalant and stripped-back cover photograph, the current face of Max Mara gazes down Backoff’s lens wearing nothing but a pair of Louis Vuitton tights as chosen for the occasion by Vogue France’s newly-appointed fashion and image director at large Alastair McKimm.

Vittoria Ceretti for Vogue France April 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Vile,” instantly described audace upon checking out the cover.

“Who electrocuted her?” quipped forum member crmsn.

“Jesus! TRAGIC and CHEAP. What BAD taste!” exclaimed DK92.

Simera asked: “How could they do this to Vittoria?”

Yet not everyone was left so entirely underwhelmed. “Good cover, I think! I love the tights and the light blue/grey tone of the background. Only wish her hair were, at least, brushed,” noted Valentine27.

“I like how different it is from usual covers. It is executed poorly, though…” dieinytabis chimed in.

“I like the cover and the minimal approach. Vittoria Ceretti is beautiful,” admired MModa.
