MM6 and Havaianas Reinvent the Flip-Flop on the Runway

The legacy of French nightlife began with clandestine wartime speakeasies, emerged into the mainstream, went back underground, and finally blossomed into unabashed public revelries.

From textured fabrics to unexpected layering, here are the standout menswear looks from New York Fashion Week that you can start replicating right now.

In Milan, MM6 Maison Margiela and Havaianas unveiled two offbeat interpretations of the iconic flip-flop, entirely conceived around the number six.

“There is no single way to dress” – the commentary at the Dolce & Gabbana show served as a concise statement for the Spring/Summer 2027 collection. With “Stravaganza Siciliana,” Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana sought freedom in dressing, continuously combining seemingly contrasting patterns and materials in a collection brimming with playfulness and joy.

Demna's Gucci Spring/Summer 2027 show redefines the concept of bourgeois elegance, combining seduction, aristocratic subversion, and the brand's trademarks in Milan. Special guests at the show included Donatella Versace, Shawn Mendes, Bianca Jagger, Cardi B, Eva Herzigova and Romeo Beckham, while Poppy Delevinge, Isabella Ferrari, and Osanna Visconti walked the runway.

Silvana Armani reinterprets the house's codes through minimal and calibrated differences, including elongated jackets, the debut of cotton, a nostalgia-free echo of the 1980s, and a palette of ivory, black and gold.

Clothing has its own order. Shirts sit on the upper body, trousers have two legs, skirts start from the waist, collars are around the neck and shoulders rest on the shoulders. MM6 Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2027 begins from that very forgetfulness, by taking familiar items and placing them in unfamiliar positions.
