Inside the SS27 Collections Words by Nicole Atieno Fashion’s next chapter is taking shape through collections that look closely at identity, memory and the codes that define a house. For Spring/Summer 2027, familiar signatures are revisited, personal histories come into focus and established ideas of dressing are pushed into new territory. From Anthony Vaccarello’s final collection for Saint Laurent to Glenn Martens’s closing chapter at Diesel, the season carries a particular sense of transition, with creative departures adding another layer to the clothes themselves. Across the collections, heritage is reworked through fabric, silhouette, subculture and personal expression, revealing how designers continue to negotiate the past and the present through what we wear.
On Fateful Encounters and Pursuing a Dream: In Conversation with PAMELA Words by Thiên Ân Therese Kunz and Helena Alge Sometimes, right before we give up on a dream, something unexpected begins. SARAH ELLEN and JOSH KEMPEN coincidentally met as housemates in Sydney and soon discovered a shared interest with making music. What started with writing songs together eventually became PAMELA. Now, they are building a creative world together that is something entirely their own. In this interview, they talk about their somewhat magical journey as a duo, what it’s like to produce everything on their own, and share their thoughts on inspiration, passion and taking the first steps – and perhaps just having to be a little bit delusional sometimes.
How Experiences Shape The Music We Are Listening To: In Conversation with Nunguja Words by Lucie Wernecke, Photography by Siam Coy Berlin native Nunguja moves between global institutions and underground rooms, treating sound as something alive, emotional and social. From PAN nights and MoMA PS1 to performances in Paris and Milan, her world is playful, instinctive and impossible to pin down.
In Conversation with Francis Kurkdjian: A Perfume of One’s Own Words by Nicole Atieno With OUD velvet mood, Kurkdjian explores oud through the tactile language of fabric: a fragrance less concerned with opulence than with the sensation of touch. Built around three accords, fruity warmth of peach skin, the sensuality of suede and the deep, fencing in character of oud wood. The result is a woody, warm, textured and quietly seductive.
Pick Of The Week: Cartier‘s Grain de Café Bracelet, Diamonds Words by Nicole Atieno The Grain de Café motif first entered Cartier’s vocabulary in 1938, under the creative direction of Jeanne Toussaint, its rounded coffee-bean form offering a recurring expression of the Maison’s fascination with nature, movement and sculptural gold.

Seen by Fräulein: What caught our eye this week Words by Lucie Wernecke Too many headlines, too little time. That’s why "Seen by Fräulein" is our weekly edit of everything the Fräulein team has been talking about, obsessing over, or saving for later.
On Female Strength, the Power of the Personal and Greek Athleticism: In Conversation with Meret Bär Words by Lucie Wernecke & Ann-Kathrin Riedl Slimmer, younger, more optimised: the female body is often treated as something that needs to be changed. With COURVEIA, Meret Olympia Salome Bär turns this idea on its head and puts the body’s strength at the centre. The Swiss-born, London-based designer works across fashion and accessories, creating pieces that encourage us to embrace our own strength rather than hide it. At Fräulein, we believe Meret is a designer with real potential – and, more importantly, with the depth to make her work about much more than clothes.
DREAMS AND HOW TO KEEP THEM: In Conversation with Vincent Wechselberger Words by Lucie Wernecke Vincent Wechselberger's work sits at the intersection of documentary and autobiographical photography, exploring memory, the body, and queer identity through deeply personal images.
