After a fashion month marked by an unprecedented wave of designer debuts, the resort and spring 2026 campaigns have landed, delivering a jolt of new energy as the world’s biggest houses unveil the visuals that will shape their next chapters. The aesthetic reset began early, with Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s fresh-faced first teaser for Loewe, lensed by Talia Chetrit, introducing an intimate point of view. Sarah Burton’s sophomore “Portrait Series” followed, featuring legendary punk musician and artist Paul Simonon alongside longtime friend of the house, Rooney Mara, in a suite of striking, spare photos that spotlight personality over polish. At Celine, Michael Rider launched a full-on charm offensive with “Infinite Possibilities,” a joyful array of images and video celebrating the house’s Charms collection in a deliberately maximal, more-is-more spirit. Ahead, all of the must-see campaigns setting the tone for 2026.

While much of the world is being inundated with AI advertisements and digitally enhanced images, Prada is looking in a different direction. For the brand’s spring 2026 campaign, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have tasked American artist Anne Collier to execute a portfolio of images that challenges the idea of the usual fashion campaign in the digital age.

Collier’s work jumps off the screen, showing qualities of a physical object. Disembodied hands hold up the images, shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, allowing for a new perspective. Sometimes bare, sometimes donning silk gloves, the hands allow the photos to exist on a new plane, while simultaneously creating a story. Who is this person admiring the photos?

While the handler remains anonymous, the models they’re admiring are anything but unknown. Hunter Schafer, Nicholas Hoult, Carey Mulligan, and Damson Idris, among others, pose for the camera—and the viewer’s pleasure.

Jonathan Anderson debuted his vision for Dior over the course of two shows last year, dividing each collection into men’s and women’s. But for the spring 2026 campaign, the complete world of Anderson’s Dior is finally coming together.

In the David Sims-shot images, Anderson’s Dior walks the line between reality and performance. There is a pomp to the clothes and their compositions: sweaters flare out into capes, and lace dresses explode backward into gravity-defying bows. The models lounge, dance, and vamp it up just so.

Greta Lee leads the charge, followed by actors Louis Garrel and Paul Kircher, models Laura Kaiser and Saar Mansvelt, and footballer Kylian Mbappé. After walking in the Dior women’s show in October, Nicole Kidman’s daughter, Sunday Rose, also returns in the ads. The people morph into new characters in their Dior digs; they’re simultaneously themselves, but also a heightened, newer version.

Charli xcx dons two anoraks in the new campaign for Saint Laurent’s spring 2026 collection. And if the outerwear looks familiar to you, it’s because the singer has actually worn one of the pieces before.

Back in September, Charli attended Anthony Vaccarello’s show in Paris wearing the same red jacket and lace shorts from the campaign. She matched Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Rosé in the front row. Now, though, Charli is showing off the pieces solo, in a campaign shot by Glen Luchford.

Charms continue their complete takeover of the fashion world—and now, the customizable accessory is getting a starring role in a Celine campaign.

Originally presented on the runway, the Celine charms allow for a unique form of personal expression, with pieces to be worn however the owner desires—on bracelets or necklaces, as brooches, or dangling off a bag, of course.

There are infinite possibilities when it comes to the Celine charms, especially with new designs being introduced each season.

“My friends are often my muses, and my muses often become my friends,” says Givenchy creative director Sarah Burton. The relationships she describes are on display in Givenchy’s latest campaign, Friends and Muses.

The second portrait series created for the brand stars actor Rooney Mara and punk icon and artist Paul Simonon. The images, shot by Collier Schorr, are simple, yet striking—highlighting an intimacy enjoyed only by close comrades.

Loewe

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez teased their first collection with Loewe about a week before its debut, featuring a campaign starring Sorry, Baby director Eva Victor and actor Isla Johnston.

The images acted “as an opening gesture, the outset of a new dialogue,” McCollough and Hernandez said. With these photos, shot by Talia Chetrit, the designers set a tone, one defined by “vibrancy and tactility rooted in craft.”
