Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Loro Piana offer new twists on favourite bags while Hermès, Giorgio Armani and more offer apparel and accessories

Fashion houses are ushering in the new season with playful updates on iconic designs and fresh collaborations. Fendi reimagines its iconic Peekaboo with embellishments, while Hermès makes leisurewear chic with a striped terrycloth cap. Giorgio Armani teams up with Milanese knitwear label Alanui for a unisex cardigan, and Loro Piana softens its signature Extra Bag. Meanwhile, Louis Vuitton marks 130 years of its monogram with a colourful twist, and Maison Kitsuné’s new creative direction pays homage to its roots.

The Fendi Peekaboo encapsulates the Roman house’s approach to luxury: think timeless elegance with a hint of fun. The chic bag, which is meant to be carried slightly open to reveal a “curved smile”, gets its name from the children’s game. For spring/summer 2026, the brand has lined the bag with colourful elements like paillettes, beads, studs and crystals. These fresh additions to the repertoire are true collectibles for those who don’t take themselves too seriously, just like the brand itself.

Giorgio Armani and Alanui – seemingly very different brands – have joined forces to create a unisex, fringed shawl-collar cardigan that fastens with a matching belt. The piece comes in a very Armani palette of blue and amethyst. While Armani needs no introduction, Alanui is a Milan-based boutique brand specialising in bohemian-style cardigans and other knitwear.
