These are the menswear happenings to have on your radar, including Pinup Rags’ Spring ’26 collection, Fera’s second delivery for SS26 and Maison Margiela’s masked models in Shanghai.
Fera channels that summer feeling
Thanks to the clocks changing last week, we’re finally getting our first signs of summer: a post-7pm sunset. Fera seems to agree, and is dropping the second installation of its Spring/Summer 2026 collection with a wide range of sunny weather-appropriate garments. Cotton Windbreakers and Saltmarsh Knits keep you covered for colder nights whilst camp-collared Dune Shirts and Hemp Uniform Trousers are sure to keep you cool for the upcoming scorching heat. There’s even fishing attire, courtesy of the Wading Vest and Bonxie Hat. Check out the new collection, online now.
Pinup Rags is countryside-living for Spring ’26
True-to-vintage references, top-tier construction and meticulously-picked fabrics – Pinup rags hits all the right menswear-enthusiast boxes. Hailing from Los Angeles, the youth-run label founded by Sean Hayes and Nate Forchelli have crafted their own niche of “denimheads” and American vintage aficionados. Their latest collection “Walden” sees them tap into rural, western aesthetics with some workwear sprinkled in, introducing styles like their new Walden Flannel Shirt and 1898 Double Knee Pant. Their universally-loved Abraham Jeans in Indigo are brought back into the mix alongside a real springtime heavy-hitter in the form of the Field & Stream Jacket. With the collection launching on 11th April, make sure you set your alarms for an 11AM PST drop.
Drew Henry is Courrèges’ new Artistic Director
After Nicolas Di Felice’s exit from Courrèges, it’s Drew Henry who will be replacing him as the Artistic Director of the French label. The South African native boasts a pretty impressive CV, graduating from Central Saint Martins before working under some of the industry’s most highly regarded designers including Phoebe Philo at Céline, JW Anderson and Daniel Lee at Burberry. With his debut slated for the Spring/Summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week in September, we’re excited to see how he’ll innovate on the brand’s ’60s heritage.
Reckless Scholars goes ’80s London punk
With a big Justin Bieber co-sign via the impeccably oversized Everyday Bomber in Washed Camo, Reckless Scholars keeps the momentum from 2025 going with a strong showing for Spring/Summer 2026. Channeling the ’80s London punk scene that the founder and designer Ely Warner Davis’ own father lived through, we get a glimpse into his own influences and how that informs his unique vision of punk. Tartans make up a biker jacket, denim jackets are distressed and reworked for misaligned panelling and military references make their way into the collection, with Japanese construction for heavy-duty reinforcement. With a release set for June, keep your eyes peeled for more info coming soon.
Jil Sander wants you put down your phone and read

Stop scrolling, pick up a book, and read. That’s the ethos of Jil Sander’s Reference Library. Conceived in partnership with Apartamento, the project will collate 60 books chosen by writers, designers, artists, architects, filmmakers, and creatives with unique perspectives in an exhibition in Milan between April 20 to 24. Did we mention there’s a mega installation from Milanese architecture practice studioutte, with mirrored walls, reading lecterns, and warm beams primed for pausing time and turning pages? So go wild and get reading.
Nothing launches the Headphone (a)
Nothing headphones are plucked from the kind of future we imagined as kids, where there’s flying cars, and everything looks like the backdrop of a 2000s Prada Sport campaign. They’re rectangular, and sleek – perfect for someone who wants sound quality without sacrificing rizz. Its first over-ear style, the Headphone (1) won people over with its long battery life and space-y design, which it has carried over to the Headphone (a). This bad boy packs up to five days of battery life on a single charge, noise cancellation, and built-in features like a camera button. And it comes in tasty yellow, pink, and black colourways, too. They’re available to shop here, if you’re interested.
Veilance delivers stealth gold for fabric nerds
Veilance is Arc’teryx’s techy offshoot for city folks. And it’s very good at making clothes for people who like mid-century furniture and want their tailoring to handle all-weather bike rides. For its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the Vancouver label has continued to push the needle when it comes to fabric development. This time around it has introduced Ondritex and Washiba to the mix, which feels dry to the touch, while remaining incredibly lightweight and resistant to the elements. Highlights include unstructured blazers, trenches, and versatile straight-fitting trousers. Available here.
JiyongKim joins the Pitti Uomo 110 lineup
After securing Kei Ninomiya and Simone Rocha for the upcoming Pitti Uomo 110 in June, JiyongKim is next up on the lineup, presenting as a Special Guest. Instead of a traditional runway show, however, the South Korean designer plans to present an exclusive project-event concept tailor-made for the occasion. The dynamic exhibition will be an immersive experience, allowing guests to interact with garments, space and even time. With Pitti Uomo 110 happening 16-19th June, we’re excited to see how the boundaries of fashion shows get pushed even further.
Maison Margiela takes its masked models to Shanghai
Presenting its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, Glenn Martens brought Maison Margiela to China for their MaisonMargiela/folders activation. In typical fashion, models were masked up as they were perusing a shipyard in off-kilter tailoring and more-than-meets-the-eye detailing. The body of blazers were given a slick leather treatment as trompe l’oeil leather-denim jacket hybrids added a Margiela-esque twist to traditional silhouettes. Check out the collection here.
