We survived April Fool’s Day without a single “gotcha” moment (in these times, the real news is spooky enough), and we’re ready for spring with the imminent arrival of Coachella. The fashion world took a miniature beat this week, as some editors made their way to Shanghai Fashion Week, others started planning their festival-season ‘fits, and we celebrated the return of NYLON Guys. (You’re welcome!) There are a few great movies on the horizon, and with their release arrives equally exciting street-style moments in the name of promotion that are also help to shape the trends we want to shop. See where our timeline took our fashion brains this week, below.
Versace & Onitsuka Tiger Reinvent The Hybrid Sneaker
You’ve heard of ballet sneaks, and you’ve probably worn boxing-shoe style sneakers, but what about a sneaker-loafer combo? Versace’s collaboration with Onitsuka Tiger has two styles: a ballerina-like sneaker with an abbreviated tongue, and a loafer (snoafer if you’re nasty) with the classic Onitsuka leather stripes on the side. We are partial to the gold-and-silver Sakura pair seen on our favorite girl on the go, Myha’la.
Seriously, Do You Not Own Animal Print Yet?
We (well, Zendaya) declared blush pink as the color of spring, but if you’re not feeling the cheeky fantasy of a mauve-y pink, consider an animal print. No, it’s not groundbreaking, but at least it’s better than florals for spring. Hailey Bieber, try as she might, did not avoid paps snapping her in a leopard-print skirt; Alix Earle and Morgan Stewart McGraw both chose cheetah coats for their press circuits in New York; and Devon Lee Carlson wore this Valentino look a few weeks ago to their Rome show, but it feels worth mentioning because you don’t see many deer-print skirt-suits these days. Go heavy-handed or demure, but whatever you do, choose your fighter now.
Maison Margiela Turns The Flea Market Into Couture
That weird porcelain cup you picked up in Paris at a flea-market stall and put back down? Glenn Martens doesn’t see a cheap buy — he sees couture. The Maison Margiela Fall/Winter 2026 show, shown in Shanghai, combined both ready-to-wear and Artisanal pieces in a show that honored tattered, often overlooked fabrics like moth-infested tapestries, and even used beeswax to finish some gowns. It was unconventional, freaky, and yes, involved classically Margiela-esque face masks.
Another Round Of Musical Chairs, Anyone?
We knew the massive switchups at fashion labels would only be a domino effect and cause more shifts in the industry. After announcing Nicolas di Felice’s exit at Courrèges, the brand has named Drew Henry as new artistic director, a seasoned designer who worked for JW Anderson and Phoebe Philo. Mark Thomas is out at Carven, leaving another vacant seat at a house. To keep track, there are positions at Alaïa, Etro, Nina Ricci, and now Carven up for the taking.
