Rabanne has appointed Olivier Rousteing as its new Creative Director, bringing one of fashion’s most influential designers to the French house as it enters its next creative chapter. Rousteing succeeds Julien Dossena, whose 13-year tenure helped redefine Rabanne for a contemporary audience while preserving the house’s signature spirit of innovation.

The appointment marks Rousteing’s return to a leading creative role after concluding a transformative 14-year run at Balmain, where he became one of the industry’s most recognisable designers. Appointed Creative Director at just 25, he reshaped the Parisian label through his bold creative vision, celebrity relationships and influential digital presence, turning Balmain into a global luxury brand.

Announcing the news, Rousteing described joining Rabanne as “a tremendous honour,” paying tribute to founder Paco Rabanne’s pioneering vision and acknowledging the creative foundation established by Dossena. He said he looks forward to building on the house’s rich heritage while contributing his own perspective to its future.

Founded in 1966 by Paco Rabanne, the maison earned international acclaim for challenging traditional fashion conventions through the use of unconventional materials including metal, plastic and chainmail. Over the decades, the brand has remained synonymous with experimentation, craftsmanship and a forward-looking design philosophy that continues to influence contemporary fashion.

Rousteing’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Rabanne. Under parent company Puig, the brand has become one of the group’s strongest global businesses, supported by blockbuster fragrance franchises including 1 Million, Invictus and Fame. The fashion house now enters its next phase with a renewed focus on strengthening the connection between its fashion identity and wider beauty business.

His debut collection for Rabanne is scheduled to be unveiled during Paris Fashion Week in March 2027, offering the first glimpse of how he intends to reinterpret one of France’s most distinctive fashion.

The move also adds another major development to luxury fashion’s ongoing wave of creative leadership changes. Rousteing brings with him a track record of blending heritage with contemporary culture, cultivating a global audience through both his runway collections and his influential presence beyond fashion.

As Rabanne prepares for its next chapter, attention will now turn to Paris Fashion Week in March 2027, where Rousteing will present his first collection for the house.

But what happened outside the shows was just as interesting. Despite the hot temperatures, guests stepped out in variety of looks. From A-list names like Cynthia Erivo to Teyana Taylor, the streets of Paris turned into a second runway.

This week, Paris Couture Week for the Fall 2026 season officially kicked off, and on July 7, Chanel presented its latest collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France.

On the runway, the collection was a mix of sheer fabrics, rich embroidery, and bejeweled finishes. There were also soft, whimsical elements, from pearl-covered pieces and butterfly-like details to bold floral designs and statement jewelry, giving the presentation a fairy tale feel.

Bermuda shorts have moved from being a simple summer staple to a common pieces worn by celebrities this summer. Across runways and street style moments, these shorts are no longer considered casual wear but a versatile fashion item that can be dressed up for a range of occasion, depending on how they are styled. From tailored looks to relaxed denim fits, this season is all about how creatively they can be worn.

When paired with a button-down shirt or a fitted tank top, they create a clean office-appropriate look. Zendaya has been seen in tailored Bermuda styling, including a Moschino set styled with a white shirt. 

Monochromatic Styling

Monochromatic styling is one of the easiest ways to style any outfit and Bermuda shorts are no exception. This has appeared in off-duty styling, with Margot Robbie wearing a silk Bermuda set from Beare Park, paired with mesh ballet flats and a structured shoulder bag.

This direction adds a more casual and street-style approach to the trend. They are styled with graphic tees, cropped tops, or basic tanks, and often finished with sneakers. A lighter take on this has been seen on Hailey Bieber, spotted in off-white denim styled with a white crop top. She paired it with socks and sandals, giving a subtle schoolgirl-inspired finish.

Neutral Styling

Bermuda shorts can go with neutral-toned tops such as beige, white, or brown. This keeps the focus on shape and proportion. Tailored white Bermuda shorts were styled dark green top, a baseball cap, and heels, giving a sporty yet polished feel that blends streetwear with a refined edge.

Layering with Trench Coat

Light jackets are not limited to colder seasons, as they can work for summer styling when layered over Bermuda shorts. In some styling cases, a neutral trench coat has been styled with a white top tucked into Bermuda shorts in matching muted tones. This gave a layered finish.

Hybrid Bermuda

Across recent runway collections, Bermuda shorts have also appeared in more experimental forms. Brands such as Balenciaga, Hermès, Bottega Veneta, and Alexander McQueen have included the silhouette into their collections, sometimes blending it with Capri-length cuts, creating hybrid styles. Demi Moore also wore a tailored look, where Bermuda shorts were styled in a structured, in Capri-inspired silhouette, showing how the trend continues to evolve between formal and casual interpretations.
