Dior to Show Pre-Fall 2027 in Dublin; SKIMS Opens London Flagship

Dior announced plans to host its Pre-Fall 2027 runway show at Trinity College Dublin on December 4, 2026. This marks the French luxury house's first-ever fashion show in Ireland, signaling a notable expansion of its global presentation venues. The event is expected to draw significant international attention to Dublin's historic setting.

In parallel, SKIMS launched its first European flagship store in London this week. The expansive retail space is situated in a prime location, offering the brand's full range of apparel and shapewear. The opening signifies a major step in SKIMS' international growth strategy, aiming to capture a larger share of the European market. This move follows a period of sustained growth for the Kim Kardashian-founded company.

Studio Nicholson also expanded its global presence with the opening of a new flagship store in Beijing's Taikoo Li Sanlitun. Designed by founder Nick Wakeman, the 158-square-meter space embodies a "gallery-meets-residential" aesthetic, incorporating elements of traditional Chinese courtyards and imperial motifs. The store features a curated selection of the brand's Fall/Winter 2026 menswear, womenswear, and unisex collections, alongside artisanal furniture and literature.

Miu Miu unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign, featuring models Hailey Bieber and Xiao Wen Ju. Shot by Zoe Ghertner and directed by Renell Medrano, the campaign adopts a nocturnal, industrial aesthetic. The collection itself, conceived by Miuccia Prada, emphasizes fluidity and contrast, blending delicate fabrics with heavier outerwear and highlighting key accessories like the Vivant, Rendez-vous, and Arcadie bags, as well as the Bubble shoe silhouette.

Further diversifying the fashion news, Gentle Monster previewed new AI-powered eyewear frames, and PUMA launched a new creative platform focused on community engagement. These initiatives highlight the industry's ongoing exploration of technology and community-building in brand development.
