      <title>Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F04%2F10%2Fmarcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-020.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>Despite the sneaker’s reign as the de facto style of the 21st century, dress shoes never went out of style. Yet, similar to apparel, making by hand is a fading practice. From machine-sewn soles to automated lasting techniques (the process of molding the uppers), footwear manufacturers have perfected making shoes at unprecedented speed and scale — but what gets lost in the process?Barcelona-based shoemakers Marcos Hjorn have an unmistakably contemporary feel, yet remain among the few current names committed to completely handcrafted, made-to-order footwear. Employing techniques hat span centuries, the founders, Marcos and Aina, launched their atelier in 2023, during a time when sneaker start-ups, like Allbirds, began declining for factors like overexpansion and quality degradation. Discreetly tucked inside a brick-paved street in the Gràcia area, the studio operates out of a space named Casa Bruta. In the distant backdrop of strides in automation and accelerated trends, Marcos Hjorn instead began its journey by taking a step back and proceeding with intention. Here, every pair is bespoke, minimizing waste and enabling close refinement for every pair. "Like shelters, shoes transform and provide comfort, a feeling of belonging, and a dialogue with the materiality around you."This approach allows the founders the room to “question and solve problems creatively.” Leather uppers get eye-catching details like the loose threads of the Wrinkled Slip-on, and the elastic eyelet closures of their modern Mary Jane. The Crossed Ballerina is among the most minimal models, featuring whole-cut leather uppers gracefully wrapped at the toebox, allowing the back heel to remain satisfyingly seamless. It’s by returning to the source in traditional shoemaking techniques that Marcos and Aina have grown a distinct sensibility, as futuristic as it is nostalgic. The atelier isn’t a 19th-century-born maison, but it does approach its product with a similar level of care and quality.Following a January visit, we connected with the founders to learn more about their unique practice. Marcos and Aina highlight the irreplaceable qualities of handmade shoes and the art-driven philosophy behind their footwear designs.When and why was Marcos Hjorn Shoemakers founded?We presented this project publicly in 2023, but it really started a few years earlier. We began with no real expectations of where it might lead us, but as two young shoemakers, we were curious to explore our trade outside of its traditions, which can sometimes feel rigid in its practice.We both had prior backgrounds in design studies and felt inclined to develop our own methodology and approach — grounded in artisanal process and traditional techniques, but applied through a more flexible perspective. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Marcos Hjorn Shoemakers (@marcoshjorn) What was the first Marcos Hjorn shoe design?It’s difficult to define which design came first. In the beginning, we were exploring many different silhouettes and ideas at the same time. After many trials, guided largely by intuition, we began to feel that certain designs were ready. We developed the Mary Janes and the Wrinkled Slip-on simultaneously, going back and forth until we reached their final iterations.These designs came from observing different elements and codes and considering how they might interact within the structure of a shoe. For example, using buttons combined with eyelet elastics — which are more commonly found in other garments —or testing silhouettes that could better interact with the smocking texture. There is a lot of questioning and reasoning behind the finishes and details that [feel] familiar or nostalgic, [but] can be seen again in a new way.Does Barcelona’s long heritage of artisanal footwear inform your approach?We wouldn’t consider it in a direct way, but we like the idea that people might interpret and find connections to the city we grew up in. We feel fortunate to be surrounded by many talented friends who help us question and continue pursuing our work, often bringing forward ideas that we might not reach on our own. For us, contemplation and archival research play a big role in how we design and approach shoemaking."Most of our designs require moments of concentration and care that naturally imply a slower rhythm."Where did the idea for the Wrinkled Slip-On come from?All of our work is rooted in our atelier in Barcelona. The design process is very dependent on making and on an ongoing dialogue with ideas and materials. This methodology keeps us grounded and helps us discover new ways of working.Early on, we were drawn to experimenting with different fabric manipulation techniques from the 15th century, applying them to leather. We created a collection of samples exploring these techniques without initially considering how they might translate into a shoe.While observing these leather smocking samples, we found that what would normally be considered the “wrong side” was more compelling to us than the “proper side.” In this version, the threads of every pleat were left exposed — details that would normally remain hidden underneath. After many tests, we eventually combined this technique with a loafer silhouette that felt unique but still balanced.Which of your designs is the most challenging to make?Each design has its own difficulties, whether in the upper making or in lasting the shoe neatly. For example, we often avoid using a central back seam because we prefer leaving the heel seamless and uninterrupted. This decision increases the difficulty when creating the patterns or lasting the upper.Most of our designs require moments of concentration and care that naturally imply a slower rhythm. For us, this is a way of resisting easy solutions or simplified processes. Intricacy goes hand in hand with our artisanal work.What role do the archival references shared on your Instagram play in your footwear design?We enjoy collecting and researching references from archives, essays, and writings on art, craft, and design. We also like sharing the work of artists and creatives who have stayed with us over the years and continue to influence our work.Historical photography of everyday life, ethnographic archives documenting objects and crafts, help us better understand how things are made. We are interested in the nuances of different approaches and aesthetics, and in how everyday needs and functionality influence shapes and materials.They also reveal the cultural ties and symbolism hidden in everyday crafts from different regions and periods. Research, for us, is a way of better understanding the objects we are creating today."Shoes have an interesting connection to the conception of the individual. They become a living portrait of their owner, aging alongside them, molding to each step, wrinkling in a particular way."In 2023, you said, “I understand shoes as shelters, as what unites us and separates us from the floor.” Can you expand on that idea?This comes from a text we wrote while trying to understand the poetics behind the objects we create. Rather than thinking about shoes purely as objects to be consumed, we preferred to focus on their relationship with the wearer — the intrinsic value and the conversation that emerges from what we wear.Shoes have an interesting connection to the conception of the individual. They become a living portrait of their owner, aging alongside them, molding to each step, wrinkling in a particular way. We appreciate the balance that can exist between beauty and functionality — bringing forward an object that we consider beautiful, but that can also be worn comfortably.Like shelters, shoes transform and provide comfort, a feeling of belonging, and a dialogue with the materiality around you.Why make each pair to order as opposed to producing collections?We strongly believe in making shoes for someone, knowing that what we bring into the world will be cherished and meaningful to a particular person. We find this to be the best approach to respect the inherent slowness of this trade and to avoid unnecessary waste.Rather than focusing on collections, we prefer the idea of continuity and revisiting. Designing, for us, is an ongoing conversation with materials and ideas, where it is important to know when to subtract, add, or simply pause.Are there certain aspects of handmade shoes that can’t be replicated by mass production?Mass production is based on efficiency — managing time and cutting corners when necessary. It is an understandable approach, but one that, due to its scale, can sometimes forget the human touch, the soul of objects, and how they are created.For us, making by hand means caring for every detail, even when that implies work that might be considered inefficient. Working by hand also allows us to discover our own perspective on making, which doesn’t always mean following what tradition might consider perfect or correct. A slower practice helps us question and solve problems creatively, rather than focusing solely on efficiency. We believe that making things with your own hands helps develop a unique language that reflects the conversation between ideas and reality.What’s something that you wish more people knew about handmade footwear?What first drew us to this trade was the diversity of steps and techniques involved in making a shoe by hand. Beyond pattern making, cutting, and sewing, there is also the transformation of a sewn piece into a volumetric and structured shape.Leather is molded with a conscious and deliberate method so that it can later be worn by someone. It is a very hands-on interaction with materials, where you can see the influence of many other trades and crafts through shared methods and tools.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/marcos-hjorn-is-mastering-the-modern-dress-shoe" title="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Marcos Hjorn Shoemakers (@marcoshjorn)</a></p></div></blockquote><p> </center></p><p><b>What was the first Marcos Hjorn shoe design?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s difficult to define which design came first. In the beginning, we were exploring many different silhouettes and ideas at the same time. After many trials, guided largely by intuition, we began to feel that certain designs were ready. We developed the Mary Janes and the Wrinkled Slip-on simultaneously, going back and forth until we reached their final iterations.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These designs came from observing different elements and codes and considering how they might interact within the structure of a shoe. For example, using buttons combined with eyelet elastics — which are more commonly found in other garments —or testing silhouettes that could better interact with the smocking texture. There is a lot of questioning and reasoning behind the finishes and details that [feel] familiar or nostalgic, [but] can be seen again in a new way.</span></p><p><b>Does Barcelona’s long heritage of artisanal footwear inform your approach?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We wouldn’t consider it in a direct way, but we like the idea that people might interpret and find connections to the city we grew up in. We feel fortunate to be surrounded by many talented friends who help us question and continue pursuing our work, often bringing forward ideas that we might not reach on our own. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For us, contemplation and archival research play a big role in how we design and approach shoemaking.</span></p><p><q>"Most of our designs require moments of concentration and care that naturally imply a slower rhythm."</q></p><p><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-23.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /><br /><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-20.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /></p><p><b>Where did the idea for the Wrinkled Slip-On come from?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All of our work is rooted in our atelier in Barcelona. The design process is very dependent on making and on an ongoing dialogue with ideas and materials. This methodology keeps us grounded and helps us discover new ways of working.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Early on, we were drawn to experimenting with different fabric manipulation techniques from the 15th century, applying them to leather. We created a collection of samples exploring these techniques without initially considering how they might translate into a shoe.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While observing these leather smocking samples, we found that what would normally be considered the “wrong side” was more compelling to us than the “proper side.” In this version, the threads of every pleat were left exposed — details that would normally remain hidden underneath. After many tests, we eventually combined this technique with a loafer silhouette that felt unique but still balanced.</span></p><p><b>Which of your designs is the most challenging to make?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each design has its own difficulties, whether in the upper making or in lasting the shoe neatly. For example, we often avoid using a central back seam because we prefer leaving the heel seamless and uninterrupted. This decision increases the difficulty when creating the patterns or lasting the upper.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most of our designs require moments of concentration and care that naturally imply a slower rhythm. For us, this is a way of resisting easy solutions or simplified processes. Intricacy goes hand in hand with our artisanal work.</span></p><p><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-26.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /></p><p><b>What role do the archival references shared on your Instagram play in your footwear design?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We enjoy collecting and researching references from archives, essays, and writings on art, craft, and design. We also like sharing the work of artists and creatives who have stayed with us over the years and continue to influence our work.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Historical photography of everyday life, ethnographic archives documenting objects and crafts, help us better understand how things are made. We are interested in the nuances of different approaches and aesthetics, and in how everyday needs and functionality influence shapes and materials.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They also reveal the cultural ties and symbolism hidden in everyday crafts from different regions and periods. Research, for us, is a way of better understanding the objects we are creating today.</span></p><p><q>"Shoes have an interesting connection to the conception of the individual. They become a living portrait of their owner, aging alongside them, molding to each step, wrinkling in a particular way."</q></p><p><b>In 2023, you said, “I understand shoes as shelters, as what unites us and separates us from the floor.” Can you expand on that idea?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This comes from a text we wrote while trying to understand the poetics behind the objects we create. Rather than thinking about shoes purely as objects to be consumed, we preferred to focus on their relationship with the wearer — the intrinsic value and the conversation that emerges from what we wear.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shoes have an interesting connection to the conception of the individual. They become a living portrait of their owner, aging alongside them, molding to each step, wrinkling in a particular way. We appreciate the balance that can exist between beauty and functionality — bringing forward an object that we consider beautiful, but that can also be worn comfortably.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like shelters, shoes transform and provide comfort, a feeling of belonging, and a dialogue with the materiality around you.</span></p><p><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-25.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /><br /><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-9.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /><br /><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-18.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /></p><p><b>Why make each pair to order as opposed to producing collections?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We strongly believe in making shoes for someone, knowing that what we bring into the world will be cherished and meaningful to a particular person. We find this to be the best approach to respect the inherent slowness of this trade and to avoid unnecessary waste.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rather than focusing on collections, we prefer the idea of continuity and revisiting. Designing, for us, is an ongoing conversation with materials and ideas, where it is important to know when to subtract, add, or simply pause.</span></p><p><b>Are there certain aspects of handmade shoes that can’t be replicated by mass production?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mass production is based on efficiency — managing time and cutting corners when necessary. It is an understandable approach, but one that, due to its scale, can sometimes forget the human touch, the soul of objects, and how they are created.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For us, making by hand means caring for every detail, even when that implies work that might be considered inefficient. Working by hand also allows us to discover our own perspective on making, which doesn’t always mean following what tradition might consider perfect or correct. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A slower practice helps us question and solve problems creatively, rather than focusing solely on efficiency. We believe that making things with your own hands helps develop a unique language that reflects the conversation between ideas and reality.</span></p><p><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-21.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /><br /><img src="https://hypebeast.com/image/2026/04/13/marcus-hjorn-shoemakers-interview-22.jpg" alt="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" /></p><p><b>What’s something that you wish more people knew about handmade footwear?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What first drew us to this trade was the diversity of steps and techniques involved in making a shoe by hand. Beyond pattern making, cutting, and sewing, there is also the transformation of a sewn piece into a volumetric and structured shape.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leather is molded with a conscious and deliberate method so that it can later be worn by someone. It is a very hands-on interaction with materials, where you can see the influence of many other trades and crafts through shared methods and tools.</span></p><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/marcos-hjorn-is-mastering-the-modern-dress-shoe" title="Marcos Hjorn Is Mastering the Modern Dress Shoe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p><p>    <a href="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300x250&c=90458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">        <img src="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300x250&c=90458" />    </a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Releasing on September 15, 2026, Dressing Up: Sandy Liang is a brand-new monograph published by Rizzoli New York. Serving as a profound love letter to girlhood, nostalgia, and the art of personal style, the book offers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look at the mind of one of the city's most influential contemporary designers.Over the years, Liang has cultivated a fiercely devoted global following by seamlessly blending a gritty downtown sensibility with hyper-feminine, youth-culture references. Her highly sought-after collections are celebrated for their integration of bows, Peter Pan collars, pleated skirts, ballet-inspired details, and playful kawaii motifs. Dressing Up captures this exact essence, gathering an intimate selection of ephemera that traces the designer's evolving interpretations of uniform dressing.Operating as both a personal archive and a creative compendium, the book grants readers direct access to Liang's visual memory bank. The pages are filled with previously unpublished materials, ranging from candid runway moments to deeply personal film and iPhone photography. "I've been documenting my life through photos since high school when I got my first iPhone. Holding memories through photos has always felt as precious as keeping a childhood memento," Liang shared regarding the project. "Sharing my life through my work feels intuitive for me - one does not feel complete without the other. This scrapbook of memories captures a decade of the brand through that lens."Elevated by specialized contributions from Heaven by Marc Jacobs creative director Ava Nirui and renowned bicoastal stylist Dean DiCriscio, the monograph is designed to inspire anyone drawn to the world of fashion, image-making, and dressing up.

Captured through a kinetic, Lisbon-set campaign by Portuguese photographer and filmmaker Eduardo Gonçalves, the visual rollout perfectly bottles the shift from a sun-drenched afternoon to a restless evening. Leaning heavily into the brand's pioneering utilitarian roots, this new release masterfully strikes a balance between heavyweight, structured textiles and lightweight, adaptable layers designed to weather the changing seasons.Delivery Two thrives on a compelling contrast of fabrics and hues, matching rugged raw denim and hickory-striped jackets with relaxed, overdyed jersey staples in calming shades of "gentle" purple, blue, and green. Infusing the denim with a distinct 1950s character, standout pieces like the Belmar Jacket feature vintage-informed details such as stitched pleats, classic donut shank buttons, and a rear buckle. The Belmont Pant follows suit, nodding to functional industrial apparel with tool pockets and a hammer loop, all tied together by a retro back cinch adjuster.Expanding the wardrobe options, boxy collared shirting—like the S/S Craft Shirt and the Women’s S/S Lovilia Shirt—translates the collection's core themes across both sturdy denim and breathable polycotton poplin. To inject a bold, nature-inspired energy into the lineup, the brand has also debuted a striking laser-printed "camo snake" motif. This intricate graphic breathes life into shirts, gadgets, and accessories via black-and-white, green, and blue palettes, while a more subdued, tonal variation elegantly upgrades black denim jackets, shorts, and jeans.Seamlessly bridging the gap between its rugged heritage and contemporary streetwear sensibilities, the latest seasonal installment from Carhartt WIP further sharpens the label's celebrated catalog. Fans looking to refresh their rotation can shop the complete Spring/Summer 2026 Delivery Two collection now at select global retailers, Carhartt WIP brick-and-mortar flagships, the brand's official website, and the dedicated mobile app.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/carhartt-wip-ss26-delivery-two-lookbook-release-info" title="Carhartt WIP Unveils SS26 Delivery Two Is Where Mid-Century Denim Meets Camo Snake Prints" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

The Belmont Pant follows suit, nodding to functional industrial apparel with tool pockets and a hammer loop, all tied together by a retro back cinch adjuster.</p><p>Expanding the wardrobe options, boxy collared shirting—like the S/S Craft Shirt and the Women’s S/S Lovilia Shirt—translates the collection's core themes across both sturdy denim and breathable polycotton poplin. To inject a bold, nature-inspired energy into the lineup, the brand has also debuted a striking laser-printed "camo snake" motif. This intricate graphic breathes life into shirts, gadgets, and accessories via black-and-white, green, and blue palettes, while a more subdued, tonal variation elegantly upgrades black denim jackets, shorts, and jeans.</p><p>Seamlessly bridging the gap between its rugged heritage and contemporary streetwear sensibilities, the latest seasonal installment from Carhartt WIP further sharpens the label's celebrated catalog. Fans looking to refresh their rotation can shop the complete Spring/Summer 2026 Delivery Two collection now at select global retailers, Carhartt WIP brick-and-mortar flagships, the brand's <a href="http://carhartt-wip.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official website</a>, and the dedicated mobile app.</p><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/carhartt-wip-ss26-delivery-two-lookbook-release-info" title="Carhartt WIP Unveils SS26 Delivery Two Is Where Mid-Century Denim Meets Camo Snake Prints" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p><p>    <a href="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300x250&c=78612" target="_blank" rel="noopener">        <img src="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300x250&c=78612" />    </a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Designed directly out of Venice Beach, California, ERL has proudly introduced an "out of this world" collection entirely anchored in a vibrant, head-to-toe Electric Green. Blending the label's signature surf-skate aesthetic with premium, hyper-colored textiles, the new capsule delivers three distinct pieces that provide a bold pop of color just in time for the shifting seasons.Leading the charge is the highly anticipated return of ERL's signature footwear silhouette: the Vamp. The chunky, unmistakably plush sneaker is constructed from a padded Electric Green neoprene foam. To maximize comfort, the interior is fully lined in a matching green terry fabric. The aggressive, oversized silhouette is grounded by a green gum sole stamped with the ERL logo, and finished with thick, 9-millimeter cotton laces featuring specialized rubber-dipped aglets.Complementing the footwear, the collection also introduces the Electric Green Raglan Crew. Cut from a lightweight, ultra-soft summer fleece—a specialized cotton, poly, and viscose blend—the top is heavily dyed and washed to achieve a sun-faded, heathered look with speckled coloration for worn-in depth. A two-tone embroidered ERL script logo sits cleanly at the left chest.Rounding out the neon drop are the Electric Green Soft Socks. Bringing the same level of attention to the accessories, the socks are meticulously knit from the highest quality Japanese cotton yarn, providing a comfortable stretch terry cloth texture that pairs perfectly with the oversized Vamps.Proudly made in California, the Electric Green collection continues ERL's tradition of blending nostalgic, worn-in Americana with bold, futuristic design cues. Fans looking to secure the neon kit can shop the entire three-piece capsule now exclusively through the brand's official webstore.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/erl-electric-green-vamp-apparel-collection-release-info" title="ERL Launches &quot;Out of This World&quot; Electric Green Collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Maison Margiela &amp; Celine Court China While Gucci Sees Lackluster Q1 in This Week's Top Fashion News</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F04%2F17%2Fmaison-margiela-celine-china-gucci-kering-nike-jordan-info-0.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryCeline and Maison Margiela launched interactive pop-ups in China to deepen consumer engagement.Kering faces revenue declines while pivoting toward tech-driven innovation with Google.Issey Miyake and Nike are establishing new retail pressences in New York CityMaison Margiela Unveils the Bianchetto Atelier Experience in ShenzhenContinuing its "MaisonMargiela/folders" initiative, Maison Margiela has launched the “Bianchetto: Atelier Experience” in Shenzhen. Located at the Hairun Badminton Courts, the event brought guests into the world of Margiela, transforming their garments using the house’s signature white paint technique. Participants were provided with the iconic blouse blanche (white lab coat) while being guided by the brand's Paris team. The latest activation follows a series of exhibitions across China aimed at bringing the house's inner workings to a global audience. To ensure accessibility, Margiela is also updating a public digital archive via Dropbox, featuring installation documentation and archival materials.Celine Transforms Shanghai's Zhangyuan District Into a French Seaside Escape for Été 2026Celine has reopened its immersive ÉTÉ CELINE pop-up in Shanghai’s historic Zhangyuan district, which conveys the essence of a French seaside escape, featuring a shore-like facade inspired by photographer Takashi Homma’s New Waves series. The outdoor area includes sand dunes and cabanas serving as an ice cream parlor and a surf shop. Inside, the ground floor offers the seasonal collection alongside a customization room where clients can personalize leather tags on denim and bags with initials or zodiac illustrations. The second floor hosts private salons and displays for the brand’s Haute Parfumerie and jewelry lines.Nike and Jordan Brand Open Temporary Soho Store in NYCNike and Jordan Brand have launched a temporary, color-injected retail hub at 611 Broadway in New York City. The modular storefront is designed to evolve throughout the year to coincide with major cultural events like the US Open and the NYC Marathon. For its opening activation, the space centers on global football and a dedicated NikeSKIMS pop-up section. Personalization is a core amenity to the concept, with the "Nike By You" station offering exclusive NYC-themed graphics. Additionally, the Jordan Brand section introduces the "Soul Tower" installation, a community-focused exhibition highlighting basketball heritage and local photography.Issey Miyake To Open New Flagship Store at 45 Madison AvenueIssey Miyake is set to debut a 13,000-square-foot flagship store in New York City's iconic New York Life Building this May. Designed by Solid Objectives Idenburg Liu, the space balances the original Beaux-Arts architecture with modern aluminum and glass materials. A standout feature is "MADO," the brand’s first gallery space outside of Japan, which will host exhibitions on a regular basis. To celebrate the opening, the new Issey Miyake store is offering exclusive products, including a hand-pressed folding coat and the "UNBOUND" hat. The design also includes a titanium panel honoring the long-standing friendship between Issey Miyake and the late American architect Frank Gehry.Kering Shares Tumble 9.3% Amid Continued Gucci Weakness in Q1 2026Shares in the French luxury conglomerate Kering dropped 9.3% following a disappointing first-quarter report showing a 6.2% decline in overall revenue. The slump was primarily attributed to their flagship brand Gucci, where revenues fell 14.3% this quarter as its creative turnaround moves at a slower pace than expected. While jewelry and eyewear remained bright spots, the broader portfolio, which includes Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, faces macroeconomic headwinds outside of their control. Investors are now focused on the upcoming Capital Markets Day in Florence, where CEO Luca de Meo is expected to share more on his “ReconKering” strategy, aimed at revitalizing the group’s financial health.The Google x Gucci Smart Glasses Could Release in 2027Kering CEO Luca de Meo has confirmed a partnership between Gucci and Google to develop AI-powered smart glasses, slated for a 2027 release. The eyewear will run on Google’s Android XR platform and is expected to integrate cameras, microphones, and speakers. This latest move from Kering aims to reposition Gucci as a leader in luxury, competing directly with Meta and EssilorLuxottica, who are also driving the wearable tech sector. The project is part of a greater plan to diversify Kering’s revenue streams through high-tech eyewear and jewelry, helping to shield the brand from the volatility of traditional fashion cycles while leveraging Gucci’s heritage.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/maison-margiela-celine-china-gucci-kering-nike-jordan-info" title="Maison Margiela &amp; Celine Court China While Gucci Sees Lackluster Q1 in This Week&#039;s Top Fashion News" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Kering Shares Tumble 9.3% Amid Continued Gucci Weakness in Q1 2026</title>

Shares in the French luxury conglomerate dropped 9.3% to €254 EUR in Paris following a lackluster first-quarter earnings report. The steep decline underscores that the highly anticipated turnaround at its star brand, Gucci, is taking more time than investors initially hoped, a challenge further exacerbated by a volatile global economy and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.For the first three months of 2026, Kering reported that overall revenues decreased by 6.2% to €3.57 billion EUR, though they managed to remain flat in organic terms. The primary drag on the balance sheet was Gucci, which saw its revenues fall 14.3% on a reported basis to €1.35 billion EUR (an 8% drop organically). While the group's wider portfolio includes fashion heavyweights like Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Bottega Veneta, the rare bright spots for the quarter were notably isolated to its jewelry and eyewear divisions.With the broader luxury rebound that equity analysts expected for 2026 yet to materialize, all eyes are now on Kering's upcoming Capital Markets Day in Florence. According to Citi analyst Thomas Chauvet, the Q1 figures are taking a "secondary" back seat to the highly anticipated "ReconKering" roadshow, where new chief executive officer Luca de Meo is slated to officially unveil his strategic roadmap. Analysts maintain that the group's share support will rely heavily on cost discipline, easing financial leverage, and the successful execution of Gucci's creative direction under Demna.Kering's immediate struggles mirror a wider cooling trend across the European luxury market. Competitor Hermès saw its shares drop 8.2% following soft first-quarter sales that largely missed expectations across most categories. Meanwhile, industry leader LVMH managed to eke out a modest 1% organic growth in Q1, keeping its shares relatively stable with a 0.1% bump, while Richemont eased 1.9% ahead of its upcoming annual results in May.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/kering-shares-fall-amid-continued-gucci-weakness-q1-2026" title="Kering Shares Tumble 9.3% Amid Continued Gucci Weakness in Q1 2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

But the brand has also concurrently explored a foray into the fashion realm through past collaborations with Robert Geller and Roksanda. Now, lululemon continues that fashion-forward exploration with a new SLNSH Spring 2026 Collection — and the pieces perform just as well on the streets as they do in the sports arena.This is a multi-season partnership for the two brands, which debuted previous collections in March, June and October of 2025. Saul Nash is known for designing clothing that liberates his wearers, and often displays his collections through choreographed performances in lieu of standard runway shows. He carried that unconstrained vision over to this assortment, which prioritized breathability and modularity.The SLNSH Spring 2026 collection includes the Perforated Define Jacket, Mesh Cutout Tank Top and Mesh Paneled High Rise Tight 28” — all pieces that maximize breathability while in motion — alongside other shorts and pants styles, a dual-length waterproof Jacket and accessories. Marrying the British designer’s freedom-focused perspective with lululemon’s innovation-led design approach, the result is an assortment of pieces that can adapt to any environment.Though this iteration of the lululemon x SLNSH collab is brand new, Nash had been hinting at what was to come just a couple of months back. He previewed the Spring 2026 collection during his Milan Men’s Fashion Week showcase, providing a sneak peek at the versatile designs.The lululemon x SLNSH Spring 2026 collection is now available to shop on lululemon.com and at select retailers across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/4/saul-nash-and-lululemon-fourth-collaborative-collection" title="Saul Nash and lululemon’s Spring 2026 Collection Defies Typical Performance Wear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

The Japanese-made design blends olive flight nylon with washed denim, featuring deconstructed orange stitching and classic military utility.This collaboration continues Watanabe’s signature "hybrid" aesthetic, merging Alpha Industries’ 20th-century wartime heritage with modern, deconstructed functionality.eYe Junya Watanabe MAN put an innovative spin on Alpha Industries' signature MA-1 bomber jacket, combining the classic military silhouette with a denim trucker jacket.Shifting from the original flight nylon to a washed denim, the latest garment from the collaborators is reversible by design. Worn with the olive green flight nylon out, the piece maintains original details, including the arm pockets, waist pockets, and the red Alpha Industries zipper tag on the right arm. However, the denim interior fabric is used to accent the collar, placket, cuffs, and waistband. Worn with the denim side out, small panels of orange lining fabric boast inside-out stitching for a deconstructed look.According to Alpha Industries, the first flight jacket, the A-1, was introduced by the US military after WWI in 1927; however, it wasn't until the 1960s that the company began producing bomber jackets for the US government. The later B-15 design, used in WWII, is the true blueprint for what would become Alpha Industries' MA-1. First made in blue, the MA-1 was issued in the current olive green during the Korean and Vietnam wars.Junya Watanabe and Alpha Industries have produced multiple releases surrounding their historic designs, including a tailored rework of the WO-J904 Biker Jacket from 2025.
